*Pursuant to California Law, redevelopment agencies were established for the purpose of
eliminating blight that hinders private development and growth within a community.
Redevelopment agencies were dissolved through State legislation during FY 2011‐12, but the
Auditor‐Controller is still required to calculate and distribute funding related to redevelopment
activities. Any residual funds that are not expended for redevelopment activities are returned
back to the contributing taxing entities each year.
