5. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical corrections and adjustments as necessary to those transactions included in this report to implement the Mayor and City Council intentions.
   
   

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that there is no additional impact to the General Fund from the approval of this financing as funding for lease payments are included in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Adopted Budget. The issuance of up to $240 million of MICLA Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2018-A (Capital Equipment) and Series 2018-B (Real Property) and Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2018-C (Real Property - Taxable) will be an obligation of the General Fund. The resulting semi-annual lease payments are scheduled for April and October and will be paid from funds in the Capital Finance Administration Fund No. 100/53. The first lease payment will be made on April 15, 2018.

Debt Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that the issuance of up to $240 million of MICLA Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2018-A (Capital Equipment) and Series 2018-B (Real Property) and Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2018-C (Real Property - Taxable) will not cause the City's debt service payments to exceed six percent of General Fund revenues for non-voter approved debt as established in the City's Financial Policies, Debt Management Section.

Based on current market rates, the average annual debt service for the Series 2018-A (Capital Equipment) Bonds is $8.95 million. The average annual debt service on the Series 2018-B (Real Property) Bonds, excluding the MICLA 2012 Bonds refunding, is $1.76 million. Should the City do a partial refunding of the MICLA 2012 Bonds, the estimated present value savings is approximately $7.41 million and the resulting average annual debt service for this component is $3.7 million. The estimated present value savings from the Series 2018-C (Real Property-Taxable) Bonds, refunding of the MICLA AK COPs, is approximately $6.4 million and the resulting average annual debt service is $2.77 million. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.
