California Court of Appeal


City of Emeryville v. Cohen, C074186

In this case, plaintiff City of Emeryville and its redevelopment agency executed three agreements for redevelopment of a number of projects. Judgment in favor of defendant California Department of Finance, finding that their rejection of Emeryville's amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules effectively disapproved the agreements, is affirmed, where: 1) Emeryville and its redevelopment agency were authorized to "reenter" into the three agreements entered into before the Legislature's dissolution of redevelopment agencies; 2) Assembly Bill 1484 and Health and Safety Code section 34177.3 do not apply retrospectively; and 3) nothing in the statutory scheme providing for the orderly distribution of redevelopment funds invalidates these reentered agreements.
