Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. ADOPT the 24th Supplemental Subordinate General Resolution, including various documents required to execute the transactions (attached to the Council file), and authorize the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to take certain actions required to manage the transactions, including costs of issuance.
   
   
2. ADOPT the 25th Supplemental Subordinate General Resolution, including various documents required to execute the transactions (attached to the Council file), and authorize the CAO to take certain actions required to manage the transactions, including costs of issuance.
   
   
3. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical changes to implement the intent of the Council and Mayor.
   
   
4. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated September 20, 2018 providing for the issuance of Subordinate Bonds for the Wastewater System and amending Los Angeles Administrative Code Sections 5.168.1(a), 5.168.1(d), 5.168.1(e) and 5.168.2 to add special funds related to the issuance of the Bonds, and to revise the administration of existing Wastewater System funds.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that there is no impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommended Los Angeles Wastewater System Subordinate Revenue 2018 Bonds as debt service is paid from the Sewer Construction and Maintenance Fund.  The debt service amount for the Series 2018-A is approximately $5,890,000 due on June 1, 2019.  The debt service amount for the Series 2018-B Bonds is approximately $3,820,000 due on June 1, 2019.  The total 2018-19 debt service amount for the Series 2018-C Bonds is approximately $2,125,000, due first on December 3, 2018, and monthly thereafter on the first business day of each month.  These debt service amounts are conservatively estimated in order to ensure that sufficient amounts are allocated to cover debt service in 2018-19.

Debt Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that there is no debt impact to the City's General Fund from the approval of the recommendations contained in the September 25, 2018 CAO report as debt service on the Wastewater System Revenue Bonds (including the Series 2018 Bonds) are paid from the Sewer Construction and Maintenance Fund (SCM).  The issuance of approximately $250 million in Series 2018-A Bonds is currently expect to result the City paying a total of approximately $437,810,000, including $221,445,00 million in interest, over 30 years at a true interest cost of approximately 3.86 percent.  The average annual debt service for the Series 2018-A Bonds is $14,818,704. The proposed Series 2018-B Refunding is expected to generate slight savings over the life of the bonds for the SCM Fund.  These projected savings are based on the assumption that future LIBOR rates will be equal to the market’s projection of LIBOR.  These borrowing amounts and interest rates are based on current market conditions. Actual borrowing amounts and interest rates are subject to change based on market conditions at the time that the Series 2018 Bonds are sold.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
