APFA 2008 -001 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF B137.1 DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY(I) authorizing the issuance of not to exceed $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Water Revenue Bonds of said authority; (II) approving the forms and authorizing the execution and delivery of an indenture of trust, an installment purchase agreement, sale documents and other related documents;(III) approving the execution and delivery of an official statement; and (IV) approving certain actions in connection therewith (Related to Council Item #49). Marcie Edwards, Public Utilities General Manager, reported the $50 million in requested water bonds was part of the Utilities strategic financial plan and would allow the water utility to better manage the rate impact of several large capital projects. The water utilty had not issued new bonds since 1994 when the Lenain Treatment Plant was under construction. She stated water debt as a percentage of the Water Utility's assets was under 10 percent and well below the norm in the water industry. The new debt issuance would raise the percentage to around 25 percent, within typical water utility norms. She reported major projects scheduled to be financed through this debt issuance included Nohl Canyon Tank, Linda Vista Reservoir replacements, wells at Anaheim Substation in Willow Park, various water pressure regulating stations, recycled water projects and water system security improvements. This debt issue would also allow the water utility to maintain good financial metrics to help keep solid financial market credentials such as those that recently earned the City a Triple A rating from Standard and Poor.
