Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. REAPPROVE the use of $10,000,000 in MICLA financing included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 Adopted Budget for the new Civic Center building included in the Capital Improvement Expenditure Program.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  None submitted by the CAO. The Chief Legislative Analyst has not completed a financial analysis of this report.

Debt Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA Bonds is a General Fund obligation. The re-authorization to use MICLA financing for the new Civic Center building provided for in the FY 2014-15 Adopted Budget would cause the City to borrow approximately $10,000,000 at a 5.5 percent interest rate. The total estimated debt service is $16,740,000 which includes the borrowing amount and interest ($6,740,000). During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $837,000 over 20 years.

Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO advises that it cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future.

In accordance with the City’s Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to guide in evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The City is currently at 4.12 percent. The issuance of the debt from this re-authorization will not impact the City’s debt capacity for non-voted approved debt as the issuance of debt for routine capital improvements is already included in the debt ratio.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
