TO: Honorable Chairman and Directors of� Poway Public Financing Authority FROM: James L. Bowersox, Executive Direc 1111 INITIATED BY: L. Diane Shea, Secretary W Sherrie D. Worrell, Assistant Secretary DATE: January 4, 2005 SUBJECT: Waiver of Annual Meeting for the Poway Public Financing Authority BACKGROUND On October 8, 1991, the City Council and the Poway Redevelopment Agency approved the formation of the Poway Public Financing Authority, a joint powers authority, pursuant to the Marks- Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The Authority was formed for the purpose of assisting the City and the Redevelopment Agency in financing and refinancing public capital improvements. The Bylaws state that the Authority shall hold at least one regular meeting each year unless waived by a resolution adopted by the Authority. It is recommended that the Poway Public Financing Authority (PPFA) adopt the attached Resolution waiving the requirements of its annual meeting. FINDINGS The requirement to hold an annual meeting during the upcoming calendar year for the PPFA is not anticipated at this time, since we don't anticipate any debt offerings in 2005. When this item was heard last year the Council requested additional information regarding the PPFAs recent activities, which are included in the staff report. By using the PPFA the City is able to issue debt on a negotiated sale basis. This provides the City with the ability to negotiate both the price and structure-of offering to make sure they are done on the lowest cost basis. • The last activity for the PPFA in 2003 was with two significant debt offerings. The first was-the 2003 Certificates of Participation (COPs) for the City Office Building. In this offering the Authority issued $17,655,000 in COPs in January of 2003. This offering was secured by the.lease with the City for the new building that was under construction and occupied this spring. The second offering was the 2003 Tax Allocation Bonds (TABs) in the amount of $150,300,000 issued in October of 2003. The TABs were issued to refund an existing bond of approximately $100,000,000 and the balance of the funds were to make pass thru payments;.pay obligations under Owner Participation Agreements, and.finally to provide funds for new Agency projects. The Agency Board in December of 2003 appropriated these funds for new projects. Both offerings were well received in the market and achieved an overall rate of under 5%. 2 of 5 January 4, 2005 Item # 5 _.
