APFA 2004-2 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY (I) authorizing the issuance of not to exceed $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Water Revenue Refunding Bonds of said Authority; (11) approving the forms and authorizing the execution and delivery of an Indenture of Trust, an Installment Purchase Agreement, sale documents and other related documents; (111) approving the execution and delivery of an official statement; and (IV) approving certain actions in connection therewith. City Manager David Morgan indicated Items 1 and 2 were to refinance bonds due to favorable Iow interest rates and would affect some savings for the City. Bill Sweeney, Finance Director, stated the overall net present value of savings would take into account fees associated with the refinancing of the bonds. He reported in the case of the water utility, the net value of savings would be roughly $912,000 and that figure reflected the fees and the Iow interest rate over the remaining term of the bonds. Mr. Sweeney confirmed the decision to take this action was based upon savings to be received with the lower interest rate. ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY MINUTES April 20, 2004 PAGE 2 Board Member Hernandez asked if the call dates for the two issues were being extended. Mr. Sweeney noted in the case of the water bonds, the call date had already passed and the bonds would be refunded at the next interest payment and no change would occur to the maturity schedule. The bonds for the community facilities districts were not callable until September 1 stated Mr. Sweeney, and pursuant to IRS regulations, that date could be moved up 90 days to close the transaction. There were 10 years remaining in the current bonds and under the new bonds, there would be 10 years. Mr. Sweeney affirmed this action was strictly to take advantage of the lower interest rates. Board Member Hernandez inquired how the savings in water bonds would be applied. Mark Mazak, Utility Finance & Administration Division, stated the savings would reduce the total operation expense for the water by approximately $600,000 - $800,000 depending on the interest rates in effect on the date of sale. Those funds, he remarked, would be used to mitigate and help Anaheim rate users not to have water rate increases in the future. Board Member Chavez moved to approve Resolution No. APFA 2004-2, authorizing the issuance of not to exceed $15,000,000 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, seconded by Board Member McCracken. Roll Call Vote: Ayes - 5; Chairman Pringle, Board Members: McCracken, Tait, Hernandez and Chavez. Noes - 0. Motion Carried RESOLUTION NO. APFA 2004-3 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY authorizing the issuance of Anaheim Public Financing Authority Revenue Bonds (2004 Community Facilities Districts Refinancing), Series A, in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $21,200,000 authorizing the execution and delivery of an indenture, certain refunding and bond purchase agreements, a Bond Purchase Agreement, a Continuing Disclosure Agreement and an Escrow Agreement, authorizing the distribution of an official statement in connection therewith and authorizing the execution of necessary documents and certificates and related actions. Board Member Tait indicated he lived in one of the Mello Roos districts identified in Item 2 and would abstain from the vote due to a potential conflict of interest. Jack White, City Attorney, commented that on the companion item for City Council agenda, there were three separate resolutions and Board Member Tait would only be required to abstain on the resolution for the Highlands community. Chairman Pringle requested the City Attorney research whether in the future, the Financing Authority could separate resolutions for the community facilities districts as was done for the City Council, especially since one of the board members taking action on such matters lived in one of the districts and would be required to abstain. Mr. White concurred and would research the matter. Board Member Hernandez requested and received clarification on conflict of interest rules. Motion by Board Member McCracken to approve Resolution No. APFA 2004-3, authorizing the issuance of Anaheim Public Financing Authority Revenue Bonds (2004 Community Facilities Districts Refinancing), Series A, in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $21,200,000, seconded by Board Member Chavez.
