- AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer to prepare any necessary technical adjustments; and, AUTHORIZE the Controller to implement those instructions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) reports that there is no additional impact on the General Fund, as the $3 million in the previously authorized MICLA funds recommended for repurposing would be used to offset the current funding shortfall projected for the required modifications to the Los Angeles Mall space assigned to the new CHRC.
Debt Impact Statement: The MFC reports that the issuance of bonds through the MICLA is a General Fund obligation. The use of MICLA financing for this project would cause the City to borrow $3 million at a 5.5 percent interest rate over 20 years. The total estimated debt service is $5 million, which includes the borrowing amount and interest of $2 million. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $250,000 over 20 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.
