CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS 1 - 2: On motion by President Daly, seconded by Board Member Lopez the following actions were authorized in accordance with the reports and recommendations furnished each Corporation Member and as listed on the Consent Calendar Agenda. 1.137: RESOLUTION NO. APIC97-1: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION APPROVING, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO A LEASE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING CERTAIN ACTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO. (1997 LEASE REVENUE BONDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED FINANCING OF THE ANAHEIM RESORT PROJECT, DISNEYLAND RESORT PROJECT, AND CONVENTION CENTER EXPANSION PROJECT.) APPROVING THE FORM OF A MEMORANDUM OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO LEASE AGREEMENT; AND AUTHORIZING ANY ADDITIONAL ACTIONS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN SAID AMENDMENT NO. 2. Submitted was report dated January 14, 1997 to the Anaheim Public Improvement Corporation (APIC) from the City Attorney/General Counsel. President Daly asked for a brief staff presentation on this item. City Attorney, Jack White. He briefed the staff report noting that next month, the City anticipates selling approximately $500 million worth of bonds to support expansion of the Convention Center, the infrastructure improvements for the Anaheim Resort Project, and the public parking structure on West Street. In conjunction with that, the City leases property to the APIC which leases it back to the City under a prior bond financing in 1993. This year in conjunction with the new project, the facility is being leased to the Anaheim Public Financing Authority who, in turn, is subleasing it back to the City. 1 In connection with the new financing, the underwriter for the bonds representing the potential bond holders has asked for an amendment to the lease agreement approved by the City Council a couple of months ago that would protect the bond holders in the event there is a default under the 1993 bond transaction. It would benefit the bond holders under the new transaction from being wiped out by a default under a prior bond. Under the law, if the primary lesee defaults in his payments to the landlord and he has subleased the property to someone else, the landlord can come in and take the property back and terminate all subleases. This would give protection to the new bondholders. It is in the nature of a technical correction to the document. It does not change the financing at all but assures the bondholders of that protection. President Daly. He feels obliged to make clear to the public that although this deals with the bonds for the Disney Expansion Project and the Convention Center, in and of itself it is not the actual approval of the bond issue but simply an amendment to a lease agreement stemming from a previous bond issue; City Attorney White confirmed that was correct. 2.177: Approving minutes of the Anaheim Public Improvement Corporation meeting held September 24, 1996.
