To: Successor to the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency

Report Title: ROPS 2025-26
?Recommendation of the County Administrator ? Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT a resolution approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS 25-26") for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
