PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY- SPECIAL MEETING 4. RESOLUTION NO. APFA 2005 -01 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY, (1) approving the forms of and authorizing the execution of a First Supplemental Indenture, an Amended and Restated Remarketing Agreement and other related documents; (II) approving the delivery of a Preliminary Reoffering Circular and the execution and delivery of a Reoffering Circular; and (III) approving certain actions in connection therewith (related to Council Item #42). Marcie Edwards, Public Utilities General Manager, presented a brief staff report indicating this was a request to approve the reoffering and sale of the APFA Revenue Bonds, Series 1999. She reported when the bonds were structured, the 1999 issue was to generate sufficient net savings in the range of five percent to justify the borrowing. In order to do this, the bonds included a mandatory tender to bondholders on October 1, 2005 which required the bondholder to surrender the security back to the issuer. She stated there was a hypothetical savings to ratepayers of almost $9 million due to long term rates in 1999 of 5.8 percent versus the Anaheim Public Financing Authority August 23, 2005 Page 2 projected 2005 rates at 4.5 percent. She commented that one option to satisfy the tender provision was to use cash reserves to purchase the bonds from the existing bondholders rather than reoffering the bonds, however since the Department was still restoring its cash reserve position as a result of power costs incurred during the energy crisis as well as potential power portfolio renewable and reserve mandates, the Department believed it made economic sense to lock in long term low interest rates now for the benefit of the ratepayers. Ms. Edwards recommended Council take action to approve this item and the related Item No. 42 on the Council agenda. After some discussion on the specifics of the reoffering, Council Member Chavez moved to approve Resolution APFA 2005 -01 of the Anaheim Public Financing Authoring, approving forms and authorizing execution of a First Supplemental Indenture, an Amended and Restated Remarketing Agreement and other related documents, (II) approve the delivery of a Preliminary Reoferring Circular and execution and deliver of a Reoffering Circular and (III) approving certain actions in connection therewith; seconded by Council Member Sidhu.
