Resolution 92-93 reinstated the requirement by the City of the Authority to make the annual PILOT
payment to the City. The purpose of the resolution was to clarify that these funds are the property
of the City and not excess Housing and Urban Development("HUD") funds. The City may spend
the PILOT revenues as it deems appropriate in accordance with law, including remitting the funds
to the Authority if the Council determines that such remittal serves a valid public purpose. The
Council has remitted the PILOT to the Authority annually since 1992.

BACKGROUND:
On December 16, 1971, the City and the Authority entered into a Cooperative Agreement which
provided that the Authority must make annual PILOT payments to the City for the public services
and facilities furnished by the City. In 1986,upon request of the Authority,the City Council adopted
a resolution which relieved the Authority of its obligation to make the PILOT payments. Based on
that resolution, the Authority did not make PILOT payments from 1987 through 1990. The
Authority also received a refund from the City of PILOT payments for the years 1984, 1985 and
1986.
In 1992, the City Council approve& a, hange in the' oaperative Agreement to reinstate the
requirement for the Authority;th pay the0annuaLMEO-T The ange was done to clarify that such
a was due to the Ci 1
payment ty';and tq,avaid the=possibility thaHUD might require the PILOT be �
returned to the federal government. p
The City refunded the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996 PILOT payments to the Housing
Authority. Staff recommends that the 1997 and 1998 PILOT payments, totaling $34,939 also be
appropriated as unanticipated revenue in the General Fund and remitted to the Authority with the
recommendation that the Authority use the funds in the manner consistent with HUD guidelines.
The intended use for the funds is anticipated to be for Y2K compliance efforts.
