DOC 9713/95 tr OF CITY OF LODi COUNCIL COMMUNICATION cgtrFppp�P AGENDA TITLE: Approval of Sale of $5 million Certificates of Participation under Small Issue Arbitrage Financing Program I MEETING DATE: September 20, 1995 PREPARED BY: Acting Finance Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the L.P.I.C. adopt Resolution No. 95-2 approving the sale of $5 million Certificates of Participation under the Small Issue Arbitrage Financing Program to finance a number of capital projects. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 1995-97 Financial Plan and Budget expressed the need to finance a number of capital projects over the next three years, including the Performing Arts Facility, and Downtown Renovation. Past financing programs included the issuance of annual Tax Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANS) to generate new revenue from arbitrage earnings for capital needs. The City can issue up to $5 million per year of debt and arbitrage on an unlimited basis. The TRAN program does not reach the allowable $5 million limit. In addition, the TRAN is a short-term program, not a permanent solution. In the proposed small issue arbitrage financing program the City would sell a 20 year $5 million Certificate of Participation in each of the next three calendar years. Since it would fall under the small issue exemption, the proceeds would be arbitraged until needed. The City would sell the City Hall and/or Police Facility to the Lodi Public Improvement Corporation which in turn would sell it back to the City under a lease purchase agreement. The annual lease payments would be backed by the City's general fund. These payments would be budgeted from the 30% of the property taxes allocated to the Capital Outlay Fund as approved in the budget policies. John Firzgerald from Seidler -Fitzgerald Public Finance will be present to answer any questions.
