Ingram, City Manager FROM: Steve Myrter, P.E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: ENERGY EFFICIENCY CLIMATEC PROGRAM SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council: 1. Approve Resolution No. 6717 directing the termination of an installation agreement with Climatec Building Technologies Group and approving the execution of an Amendment to Lease Schedule #13 -030 and Memorandum Regarding Application of Remainder of Acquisition Fund; 2. Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment to Lease Schedule #13- 030 and Memorandum Regarding Application of Remainder of Acquisition Fund. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: At the July 25, 2016 City Council meeting, staff provided an update to the 2014 Energy Efficiency Project ( "Project'). Staff presented background information on the Project which included acquisition and construction items that were completed and those that were not. Based on an updated Project financial analysis, staff recommended that there was insufficient financial justification for purchasing Edison -owned street lights as had previously been proposed and thus, staff started to research an alternative energy savings program. After discussions with the City Council, staff received direction to not move forward with the purchase of Edison owned street lights. Previously, in May 2015, the City entered into a financing lease (the "Financing Lease ") with Municipal Finance Corporation (which serves as the Administrative Agent to City National Bank) for the Project. The Financing Lease was structured with an annual interest rate of 3.40% and a final payment date of November 8, 2025. Each semi - annual payment is $84,870.82. If paid in full, the City would pay $1,893,455.86 in total (consisting of $1,546,930.82 in principal (Project Cost) and $346,524.95 in interest). Agenda Item I At the October 24, 2016 City Council meeting, staff presented two Project options. Option 1 was to not proceed any further with the equipment not yet acquired for the Project and seek a restructuring of the Financing Lease to lower the principal balance. Option 2 was for Climatec to present at the November 14, 2016 City Council meeting other energy savings projects to meet original energy cost savings estimates. At the November 14, 2016 City Council meeting, the City Council provided direction to staff to start the process of restructuring the Financing Lease to lower the principal balance and direct staff to not continue forward with any additional acquisition under the Climatec Energy Efficiency Program. Staff and the City Attorney's office have been working with the Municipal Finance Corporation on the proposed restructuring of the Financing Lease, by using the $612,639.31 of unspent financing proceeds to effect a partial prepayment under the Financing Lease. Being presented to the City Council is an "Amendment to Lease Schedule #13 -030 and Memorandum Regarding Application of Remainder of Acquisition Fund" to document the prepayment and the resulting new payment schedule under the Financing Lease. With City Council's approval, the prepayment will take place on or about March 8m ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact associated with this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The current principal balance of the Financing Lease in the amount of $1,306,596.38 will be reduced to approximately $715,000 (after taking into account a 1% prepayment premium and accrued interest to prepayment date). The annual interest rate of 3.40% and the final payment date of November 8, 2025 will remain unchanged. The new semi - annual payment will be lowered to approximately $46,000. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1. Approve Resolution No. 6717 directing the termination of the installation agreement with Climatec Building Technologies Group and approving the execution of an Amendment to Lease Schedule #13 -030 and Memorandum Regarding Application of Remainder of Acquisition Fund; 2. Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment to Lease Schedule #13 -030 and Memorandum Regarding Application of Remainder of Acquisition Fund. SUBMITTED BY: Steve rer, P.E.

While a portion of the Equipment has been acquired and installed, based on a review of the progress under the Installation Agreement and an evaluation of the portion of Equipment remaining to be acquired, the City Council hereby finds and determines as follows: (A) Based on an evaluation of the updated savings estimates (as compared to the costs), the City has determined that it is in the City's best interest to not proceed with the further acquisition of the Equipment for which the acquisition has not been completed as of the date hereof. (B) With respect to proceeds of the Financing remaining in the "Acquisition Fund" held under the Acquisition Fund Agreement (in the approximate amount of $600,000), it is in the City's best interest to apply such moneys to the prepayment of "Rental Payments" (as such term is defined in the Financing Lease). Section 2. Based on the finding and determination made in Section 1(A), the City Council hereby authorizes and directs officers of the City take such other actions as necessary or appropriate to terminate any further acquisition under the Installation Agreement.

Section 3. At the time of execution of the Financing Lease, the City made certain representations and covenants, with the intent that the interest components of the Rental Payments would not be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes (i.e., that the Rental Payments would constitute "tax - exempt' obligations within the meaning of Section 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "). In that connection, the City Council hereby makes the following findings and determinations: (A) On the date of issue with respect to the Financing, the City expected that all of the proceeds of the Financing would be used to acquire the Equipment. (B) Contrary to the City's original expectations, the City has determined to not proceed with further acquisition of the remaining portion of the Equipment and, therefore, the remaining moneys in the Acquisition Fund are excess proceeds for purposes of the Code. Section 4. There has been presented to the City Council the form of an "Amendment to Lease Schedule #13 -030 and Memorandum Regarding Application of Remainder of Acquisition Fund," to be executed by and among the City, Municipal Finance and City National Bank (the "Amendment "). In connection with the finding and determination made in Sections 1(B) and 3, the City Council hereby authorizes and directs as follows: (A) The Amendment, in substantially the form on file in the office of the City Clerk, is hereby approved. The Mayor (or in the Mayor's absence, the Mayor Pro Tem) is hereby authorized, for and in the name and on behalf of the City, to execute and deliver the Amendment, in substantially such form, with such changes therein as the Mayor (or the Mayor Pro Tem, as the case may be) may approve (such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof). (B) The City Council hereby approves and directs the re- allocation of all of the remaining moneys in the Acquisition Fund to prepay Rental Payments under the Financing Lease. Section 5. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed, jointly and severally, to do any and all things, to execute and deliver any and all documents that they may deem necessary or advisable in order to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution and the Amendment, and any such actions previously taken by such officers are hereby ratified and confirmed. -2- s7z96 -0001 \2030208v5.do PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Seal Beach at a meeting held February 27, 2017.
