BRADY CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 2011 SUBJECT: 1. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ACTING AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 95 -1 (LAKE ELSINORE CITY CENTER PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS), AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 95 -1 (LAKE ELSINORE CITY CENTER PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS) SPECIAL TAX BONDS, 2011 SERIES, APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF THE LAKE ELSINORE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY LOCAL AGENCY REVENUE BONDS (1996 SERIES E REFUNDING), 2011 SERIES B, AND THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT, A COMMITMENT AGREEMENT AND PURCHASE CONTRACT, A PURCHASE CONTRACT AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT; 2. A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE LAKE ELSINORE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF LAKE ELSINORE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY LOCAL AGENCY REVENUE BONDS (1996 SERIES E REFUNDING), 2011 SERIES B IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,500,000 PURSUANT TO AN INDENTURE OF TRUST, AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF SUCH BONDS UPON CERTAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS, APPROVING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT, APPROVING THE EXECUTION OF AN ESCROW AGREEMENT, A PURCHASE CONTRACT AND A COMMITMENT AGREEMENT AND PURCHASE CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF LOCAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE COMMUNITY AGENDA ITEM NO. 11 Page 1 of 12 Resolutions Re Bonds November 8, 2011 Page 2 FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 95 -1 (LAKE ELSINORE CITY CENTER PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS) AND TAKING OTHER ACTIONS RELATED THERETO Background Pursuant to Resolution 95 -4, the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority (the "Authority ") issued its 1996 Series E Local Agency Revenue Bonds (the "1996 Bonds ") in the principal amount of $1,750,000 of which $1,300,000 remains outstanding. The Authority's 1996 Bonds are secured by special taxes imposed within Community Facilities District No. 95 -1 ( "CFD No. 95-1"). The 1996 Bonds were issue to finance public improvements for the Wall -Mart shopping center although the Wall -Mart store is not part of the actual district which comprises CFD No. 95 -1. An opportunity exists to refund the Authority's 1996 Bonds that will substantially reduce the annual debt service obligation. Accordingly, staff requests that the City Council and the Authority consider refunding the 1996 Bonds. Discussion The City's Finance Team has determined it is currently feasible to refinance the Authority's 1996 Bonds at an annual savings in excess of $10,000. The 1996 Bonds have an interest rate of 7.5% and it is expected the new "2011 Bonds" will have an average interest rate of less than 4.98 %. The estimated percentage savings of the refunded bonds is expected to be in excess of 9 %. The "rule of thumb" in the finance industry to proceed with refunding is a 3% savings of the refunded bonds. The exact interest rate will not be known until the proposed 2011 Bonds are price and sold to the Underwriter. This is expected to occur around the third week of November. The 2011 Bonds have been structured to have a level debt service payments. The final maturity date has not been extended. The 2011 Bonds will be sized in an amount necessary to refinance the Authority's 1996 Bonds and no new money is included. Like the Authority's 1996 Bonds, the 2011 Bonds would be issued by the Authority.
