OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL EFUNDING OF AUTHORITY WASTEWATER REVENUE BONDS, RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 96- 413 approving the form of an amended and re installment purchase agreement for the refunding of certain obligations relating Encina Water Pollution Control Facility and approving the form of certain docu and actions in connection therewith. ITEM EXPLANATION In 1989, the City and three other agencies formed the Encina Financing Joint F Authority (EFJPA) to finance the cost of constructing Phase 5 of the Encina Pollution Control Facility. The other agencies involved are the City of Vis1 Buena Sanitation District and the Leucadia County Water District. The EFJPA $33.5 million in debt that was secured by installment purchase agreements fror of the agencies. At the EFJPA board meeting in 1993, the Board directed staff to move ahead M selection of a financing team to refund the outstanding EFJPA bonds. In Fe 1996, the Board approved the selection of the underwriter and bond counsc approval of the underwriter was postponed for some time as the interest ra municipal bonds had risen making the refunding uneconomical at that time. to the EFJPA, so staff began work on preparing the documents again. Since the security for the bonds is based on the underlying credit worthiness participating agencies, it is necessary for each agency involved to appro documents relating to the refunding. Staff is requesting that the Council appr form, all documents necessary to consummate the refunding of the outstandin1 bonds and to authorize the Mayor, the City Manager, the City Clerk and certaii officers upon advise of the City Attorney to make changes as they deem nec and advisable. The timing of the refunding will be dictated to a large part municipal bond market as staff is recommending that the refunding occur onl] City will receive net present value savings of at least 3.5%. The calculation of a net present value savings is an accepted method used industry to determine the amount of savings expected from a bond refundin( all associated costs) and then discounts this stream of payments to take into i the time value of money. This value is termed the “present value of the saving: calculate the percentage, the present value savings is divided by the amouni outstanding bonds to be refunded. beginning of 1996, the rates dropped back down to a level that could provide s .. z 0 4 9 0 2 3 0 0 method computes the annual savings to be achieved by the refunding (after ad 5 - e m I Page 2 of Agenda Bill # ,,q 3 Y As of August 30, 1996, there was $30,330,000 outstanding on the bonds with an a interest rate of 6.7%, as shown below. City of Carlsbad $1 1,489,000 beucadia Water District 7,2 I 3,000 City of Vista 5,638,000 Buena Sanitation District 5,990,000 Total: $30,330,000 If the refunding goes forward, the City of Vista and the Buena Sanitation Distric indicated that they will pay off their share of the bonds. Thus, only Leucadia Water and the City of Carlsbad will continue to have bonds outstanding. Therefore, the total bonds to be refunded will be approximately $18,702,000. The new to be issued will have the same term as that of the currently outstanding bonds (final pi in 2014). Also only the amount of bonds necessary to refund the outstanding bonds issued. No "new" money will be generated. The City has approximately $900,000 ren in the EFJPA construction fund which can only be used to call bonds when possible. funds will be included in the refunding to help reduce the total new bonds that neec issued. In order to achieve a 3.5% present value savings on the refunding of the bonds, tf bonds would need to be issued at an average interest rate of 5.5%. At this minimal le! gross savings to be achieved over time by the refunding will total about $1,080,00( Carlsbad alone, we would be refunding $1 1,489,000 of bonds to achieve a total gross I over time of $660,000, which equates to an annual reduction in debt service payment o $37,000 per year. Of course, interest rates continue to fluctuate and it is possible that we could achieve savings than stated here. On the other hand, if rates spiral upward, the refunding will on hold until they drop back down to where we can at least achieve our target presen savings of 3.5%. The attached documents do not change the relationships or the obligations of the C respect to the EFJPA and the Encina Wastewater Agency other than to adjust the ob1 and payments necessary under the various agreements nor do the documents effl City's share of the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility.
