The plans and specifications are 95% complete and are undergoing final review by the various participants in the project. Before the City solicits bids for construction, it is appropriate to determine the source of funding for the project. While City reserves are available to fund construction, it seems prudent for the City to keep its' funds in reserve while financing the construction, due to the low interest rate currently available for long term financing. The City has received a proposal from the Bank of America (attachment A) to provide project funding. The key elements of the proposal include: • Allows funding up to $9 million which may include construction costs, cost of issuance and the required reserve • The term recommended by staff is.15 years (option 2) • Lease Revenue Bonds (Bonds) are the financing vehicle • Rates fora 15 year term were 4.06%. The actual rates will be established at the time the Bonds are sold as determined by the market. • The City Hall property would be used initially as collateral for the Bonds. The new Fire Station can be substituted once it is completed • The reserve requirement which, as proposed in Option 1, is an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) maximum annual debt service, (ii) 125% of average annual debt service payment, or (iii) 10% of the principal amount • of the Bonds. Agenda Item J Page 2 These Bonds are proposed to be a private placement with the Bank of America. This will provide the City with certain efficiencies in terms of the time it takes to prepare the Bond documents and obtain approvals. Issuance costs will be significantly lower than for a public sale and are not expected to exceed $100,000. Richards Watson and Gershon is expected to be bond counsel. An independent financial advisor has reviewed the proposal and found the terms to be generally consistent with industry standards and the interest rates very competitive. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will need to budget for annual debt service payments. An amortization table fora $7.5 million project is provided as Attachment B. Annual payment will be about $670,065. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the City Council consider the Bank of America proposal for a Lease Revenue Bond financing for the reconstruction of Fire Station No. 48 and direct the City Manager to pursue same.
