(Related to Council Item No. 22). April 24, 2007 Page 2 William Sweeney, Finance Director, reported, the Series 2007 bonds were the first in a series to be issued to finance the construction of $102 million citywide sewer improvements and would generate approximately $45 million for Phase 1 related sewer improvements. He emphasized the bonds were long -lived assets with a long debt service and would be paid through adjusted sewer fees of about $3 million per year. Chairman Pringle commented a presentation on the various sewer improvement projects was made at a previous meeting when the City took action to move forward with a sewer fee increase which was the foundation for repayment of this debt. Authority Member Sidhu moved to approve Resolution No. APFA 2007 -003 authorizing the issuance of $55,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2007; approving forms and authoring execution of Indenture of Trust, an Installment Purchase Agreement, an Official Statement and a Bond Purchase Agreement and other related documents and certifications; seconded by Authority Member Kring. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Chairman Pringle, Authority Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 3. RESOLUTION NO. APFA 2007 -004 A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM 4595 PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY authorizing the issuance of not to exceed $270,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its lease revenue bonds (Anaheim Public Improvements Project) to refinance certain infrastructure improvements and providing the terms and conditions for the issuance of said refunding bonds, and other matters relating thereto. (Related to Council Item No. 23). Chairman Pringle pointed out that he and City Manager Dave Morgan were in San Francisco on April 23r to make presentations to three rating agencies and two bond insurance agencies in preparation for Item No's 3 and 23. Mr. Sweeney indicated Item No's 3 and 23 represented a refinancing of revenue bonds issued 10 years ago to take advantage of current low interest rates. Chairman Pringle added that in 1994 with the establishment of the Anaheim Resort, the City in cooperation with other business parties took on $510 million obligation to make public improvements to the resort area. Last November, the Public Financing Authority and Council directed staff to move forward with refinancing a portion of that debt ($270 million). He pointed out 20 percent of Anaheim's bed tax went toward repayment of this debt and the monies saved in interest ($12 million) would help secure and pay down that debt obligation scheduled to be repaid by 2037. Authority Member Sidhu asked if there were early payment penalties associated with refinancing the bonds; Mr. Sweeney responded the overall net interest savings more than made up for the early payment premium and it made more economic sense to refinance. Authority Member Hernandez moved to approve Resolution APFA 2007 -004 authorizing the issuance of not to exceed $270,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its lease revenue bonds (Anaheim Public Improvements Project) to refinance certain infrastructure improvements and proving the terms and conditions for issuance of said refunding bonds and other maters related thereto, seconded by Authority Member Galloway. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Chairman Pringle, Authority Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried.
