The Purpose of the IVDA
Formed in 1990, the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) is a special military base reuse Joint Powers Authority (JPA) created by and through specific State of California Legislation (AB 419) pursuant to Public Law 100-526 under BRAC-I. It is governed by its Board of Directors. In 2002, the IVDA entered into an Exclusive Master Disposition and Development Agreement with Hillwood – a Perot Company.
The successful public-private partnership is now known as Alliance-California and is home to multiple Fortune 100 and 500 firms. In addition to the approximately 600 acres on the former base, the IVDA also has a base reuse project area of approximately 14,000 acres of surrounding properties. The project area contains over 22,000 individual parcels of land, with land use designations that include: light and heavy industrial, office, commercial, and residential.
The IVDA Board of Directors is comprised of appointed public officials from its local member entities.

Successor Agency
As part of the 2011 Budget Act, and in order to protect funding for core public services at the local level, the Legislature approved the dissolution of the state’s 400 plus Redevelopment Agency’s (RDA). After a period of litigation, RDAs were officially dissolved as of February 1, 2012. As a result of the elimination, property tax revenues are now being used to pay required payments on existing bonds, other obligations, and pass-through payments to local governments. The remaining property tax revenues that exceed the enforceable obligations are now being allocated to cities, counties, special districts, and school and community college districts, thereby providing critical resources to preserve core public services.
Oversight Board
In accordance with Senate Bill No. 107 (SB 107), Health and Safety Code Section 34179(j), effective July 1, 2018, the 26 oversight boards consolidated into one San Bernardino Countywide Oversight Board (CWOB).
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS)
Each successor agency is responsible for drafting a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) delineating the enforceable obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency and their source of payment every six months. ROPS are subject to the approval of the local oversight board.
