AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2010 SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS AND APPROVING BOND DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THE LAKE ELSINORE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY TAX ALLOCATION REVENUE BONDS (1999 SERIES A REFUNDING), 2010 SERIES C, IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $31,000,000; AND AUTHORIZING THE TAKING OF CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS RELATED THERETO Background In January 1999, the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority (the "Authority") issued Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, 1999 Series A (the "Authority 1999A Bonds") in the principal amount of $33,450,000. The bond proceeds were then loaned to the Redevelopment Agency for various redevelopment project area debts. Currently, the outstanding principal balance is $27,495,000. The City's Finance Team has been studying for several months the refinancing of the Authority's and Agency's outstanding bonds in order to achieve interest savings and lower annual debt service. However, until recently interest rates were not favorable. AGENDA ITEM NO. 10 Page 1 of 238 Resolutions Re Redevelopment Agency Refunding Bonds October 12, 2010 Page 2 Discussion Savings Currently, the Finance Team has determined it is feasible to refinance the Authority's 1999A Bonds and related loans to the Agency at an estimated savings in the first year ranging from $625,000 to $675,000 and thereafter annual savings ranging from $75,000 to $100,000. The 1999A Bonds have an interest rate of 5.5% and it is expected the new bonds will have an average interest rate of less than 4.5% (assuming, bond insurance). The precise savings will not be known until the proposed bonds are sold. This is expected to occur between October 21st and October 28tH Bonds The proposed refunding bonds will be issued by the Authority and the repayment is by way of tax increment from Redevelopment Project Areas No. 1 and 2. The savings from the refinancing of the 1999A Bonds would be apportioned equally to the Redevelopment Project Areas. The bonds have been structured to have level debt service payments after the first year. The final maturity date has not been extended. The Financing Team has requested a rating from Standard & Poor's and has applied for bond insurance. Both are expected prior to the sale of the Bonds. The financing is dependent upon receiving the bond insurance commitment. The final rating on the Bonds is expected to be AAA with the purchase of bond Insurance. The Bonds will be sized in an amount necessary only to refinance the Authority 1999A Bonds. Because of the uncertainty of interest rates, it is recommended that the City and Agency authorize the issuance of the Bonds in an amount not to exceed $31,000,000. This higher par amount allows for some flexibility in the final pricing of the bonds. Documents To Be Approved Approval of the attached Resolutions will authorize the execution of the following documents: 1. Indenture of Trust. 2. Loan Agreements 3. Preliminary Official Statement. 4. Continuing Disclosure 5. Bond Purchase Contract. Due to the volume of the documents comprising the Bond Issuance, the City Council, Authority and Agency Boards will be provided with a copy separately from the Agenda. Page 2 of 238 Resolutions Re Redevelopment Agency Refunding Bonds October 12, 2010 Page 3 A copy of all documents are on file in the City Clerk's office and will also be available to any member of the public upon request. Fiscal Impact No negative fiscal impact. Issuance of the Bonds will have a beneficial impact on the Agency because after taking into account costs of issuing the 2010 Series' Bonds interest costs will be reduced. All costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds including legal counsel, fiscal and financial consultant, and underwriter fees will be paid from Bond proceeds.
