things , that "[t]he oversight board shall direct the successor agency to do all of the

transfer ownership of those assets that were constructed and used for a governmental
purpose, such as roads, school buildings, parks, police and fire stations, libraries,
parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking, and local agency
administrative buildings, to the appropriate public jurisdiction pursuant to ·any existing
agreements relating to the construction or use of such an asset" (emphasis added); and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section (a)(2) provides that "[p]arking
facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking" do not include properties that
generate revenues in excess of reasonable maintenance costs of the properties; and
WHEREAS, there is no charge or fee imposed for the right to use the parking
spaces at the Property and therefore the Property does not generate revenues in
excess of reasonable maintenance costs of the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Property was not included in the Successor Agency's Long
Range Property Management Plan which was approved by the Oversight Board and the
California Department of Finance; and
WHEREAS, the Successor Agency now desires to confirm that the Property is
