“Interest on the 2006 Bonds will be payable on March 1st and September 1st of each year, commencing on March 1st of 2007.” (Front Cover) The Maze and Associates Financial Review ending June 20, 2009, found the RDA not in compliance with the Bond regulation. Specifically: “Condition: As of fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, the Redevelopment Agency did not maintain appropriate amount of reserve balance for 2006 Tax Allocation Bond.” “Criteria: […] As of June 30, 2009, the minimum amount of the reserve should be $972,595.70. However, the balance of the reserve account of that date was $962,793.00, a discrepancy of $9,802.70.” The city management responded to the audit stating they will perform an annual review to ensure proper reserve is available in the account.
