He noted a lot of work has gone into this resulting in a savings to the Anaheim taxpayer of over $4 million dollars and a savings to the Arena partnership of close to $12 million. City Manager Ruth. He will ask the Finance Director to address the issue but it is one that staff has been working on for over a year. Some time back, they refinanced the land on the Arena and generated $3 million dollars which helped to pay the $1.5 million a year obligation. This is the final refinancing mechanism and will generate an additional $4 million dollars to the City which basically wipes out the City's final financial obligations on the Arena. He noted that, along with staff, Jill Draffen, the City's outside Counsel did a tremendous job on this financing project. It was a very complicated financing mechanism and absolutely a significant benefit to the City. Finance Director, Bill Sweeney. This refinancing is a net present value benefit of between $11 and $12 million dollars to the City which means $4 million dollars in cash which will erase the remaining obligations relative to the Arena. This transaction is guaranteed by the Ogden Corporation. There is no exposure to the City's General Fund. Everything resides at the Arena with Pond revenues; City Manager Ruth. There is no additional risk to the City whatsoever. Further, if they generate more than $12 million dollars, the City shares 50% of anything over that. ANAHEIM CIVIC CENTER, ANAHEIM PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION JANUARY 26, 1999 Board Member McCracken. She surmised the $4 million will be used to pay off the remaining debt on the Pond; Bill Sweeney. They have what is referred to as contingent liabilities and there are three more left. This money, when invested, will generate the proceeds to pay off that amount.

President Daly. Before closing he wanted to thank and commend City staff who by their hard work have brought a package forward which saves taxpayers at least $4 million dollars and reduces the future public debt down to approximately a half - million dollars. Considering that the building is only five years old, to have the public taxpayer debt reduced down to one -half million with 25 years left and then after that the building will be free and clear of any debt is a remarkable achievement. He personally commends the City Manager and everyone also involved. City Manager Ruth. It is even better than that. They have $250,000 in reserves right now and will accumulate about $250,000 in interest over the next three years. Together that takes care of the $500,000.
