4. A Resolution Adopting and Approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for 2019-2020 Annual (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020)

approval of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for 2019-2020 (July

Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result in any change to the environment and, therefore, is not a “project” as
defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Even assuming the activity
were a “project”, it would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with

applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment; and

payment schedule ("ROPS") for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30,
2020; and
C. Authorize Successor Agency staff, City Attorney, and special counsel to
provide any additional requested information to the Los Angeles County
Auditor-Controller and/or California Department of Finance to substantiate
the information contained in the ROPS and effectuate said resolution.
