BRADY CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 12, 2011 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ACTING AS LEGISLATIVE BODY FOR CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2006-1 (SUMMERLY), DECLARING ITS OFFICIAL INTENT THAT THE DISTRICT ISSUE OBLIGATIONS FOR CERTAIN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND TO ALLOW FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENDITURES MADE PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS Background In connection with the proposed development of the Summerly project within the Eastlake Specific Plan, the City established a Community Facilities District in 2006 (CFD No. 2006-1). The purpose of CFD No. 2006-1 is to assist the developer in financing public improvements necessary for development of the Summerly project. CFD No. 2006-1 is funded by special taxes levied on property owners within the district. The Summerly project developer, McMillin Summerly LLP, anticipates requesting that bonds be issued which will be paid from the special taxes levied within the district. As a preliminary matter, certain federal requirements must first be satisfied in order to use the bond proceeds to reimburse the developer for public improvements costs incurred prior to the issuance of the bonds. Discussion Federal law (section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 150 of the Internal Revenue Code) require that a public agency declare its official intent to use the proceeds of any CFD bonds for public improvement expenditures incurred prior to the issuance of the bonds. The attached resolution contains a declaration of the official intent necessary to satisfy Federal law. The resolution does not, however, authorize the issuance of bonds. AGENDA ITEM NO. 9 Page 1 of 5 Resolution Regarding CFD No. 2006-1 April 12, 2010 Page 2 Accordingly, the City Council retains full discretion to consider whether or not to authorize the issuance of bonds at a later date. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact. Recommendations 1. Adopt Resolution No. 2011-021 declaring the City Council's official intent that CFD No. 2006-1 issue obligations for certain public improvements and to allow for the reimbursement of expenditures made prior to the issuance of such obligation.
