Meet and Confer

AB 1484 allows for meet and confer with the Department of Finance on specified issues.  Meet and Confer can only be used for new determinations and cannot be used to change decisions made prior to the enactment of AB 1484.  The specific topics authorized in AB 1484 for meet and confer include:

• ROPS submittals, beginning with the January 2013 through June 2013 ROPS.  See HSC Section 34177 (m).  Previous ROPS are not authorized for meet and confer. 

• Housing Assets Submittals.  See HSC Section 34176 (a) (2). 

• Due diligence reviews.  See HSC Section 34179.6 (e).

Meet and Confer Status Update

The Department of Finance continues to work through high volumes of meet and confer requests. At this time, the vast majority of requests to meet and confer on the Housing Asset Transfer Forms will be scheduled once Finance has completed the meet and confer requests related to the ROPS III reviews. Because of the statutory timeframes related to the ROPS III meet and confer determinations those requests will take priority over any requests to meet and confer on Housing Asset Transfer forms. Therefore, if you haven’t been contacted regarding your Housing Asset Transfer Form meet and confer request, it could be a few months before we begin to process those requests and schedule meetings. We appreciate the patience you have shown and we look forward to meeting with each of you during this process.
