|
|
|
|
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
- ADOPT the accompanying Authorizing RESOLUTION, attached to the Council file, which authorizes the issuance and sale in a principal amount up to $210 million of MICLA Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2023-A (Capital Equipment and Real Property) (Bonds) to be sold on a negotiated basis, and authorizes the execution and delivery of various bond documents in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, and the execution and delivery of an Omnibus Lease Amendment relating to existing MICLA equipment leases
- PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying Fund ORDINANCE, dated September 14, 2023, attached to the Council file, adding a new Section 5.162.54 to the Los Angeles Administrative Code to create a special fund for the lease financing referred to herein as the MICLA Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2023-A (Capital Equipment and Real Property) (Bonds) to record certain accounting transactions related to the Bonds.
- PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying Lease/Leaseback ORDINANCE, dated September 14, 2023, attached to the Council file, providing for the issuance of lease revenue bonds by the MICLA, which are being issued to retire certain commercial paper notes issued by MICLA, by approving the lease and leaseback of certain real properties by and between the City of Los Angeles and MICLA.
- REQUEST the Controller to create an account in the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53) that will be used to pay for future lease payments entitled “MICLA 2023-A (Capital Equipment and Real Property)”.
- 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 Council intentions.
|
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $210 million will be payable from lease payments to be made by the City to MICLA pursuant to the Lease Agreement, which is an obligation of the General Fund, subject to annual appropriations in the Adopted Budget. The resulting semi-annual lease payments will be due on April 15 and October 15 in sufficient amounts to pay semi-annual debt service payments for the Bonds. The lease payments will be paid from funds in the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The first lease payment will be due on April 15, 2024. There is no additional General Fund impact as sufficient funding is provided in the 2023-24 Adopted Budget to pay the first lease payment.
|
|
|
|
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $210 million and the payment of the supporting lease payments 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. After the issuance of the Bonds, the projected non-voter approved debt ratio is estimated to be 2.68 percent (Attachment B), attached to the CAO report dated September 15, 2023, attached to the Council file.
|
|
|
|
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Bonds will be payable from lease payments to be made by the City pursuant to the Lease Agreement, which is a General Fund obligation. These lease payments to MICLA will be annually budgeted in the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The Bonds will be sized and sold such that the lease payments will be in sufficient amounts to pay debt service on the Bonds as and when due. Based on current market rates, the average annual debt service for the Bonds is estimated to be $13.9 million over 20 years, through May 1, 2043. The total debt service, including total principal and interest, over the life of the Bonds is estimated to be approximately $277 million. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. After the issuance of the Bonds, the projected non-voter approved debt ratio is estimated to be 2.68 percent (Attachment B).

GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS and BUDGET, FINANCE AND INNOVATION COMMITTEES' REPORT relative to the 2023-24 First Construction Projects Report.
|
|
|
|
Recommendation for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
APPROVE the recommendations contained in the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated August 14, 2023, attached to the Council file.
|
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority totaling $26.75 million are recommended in its report. Of this amount, $11.91 million is for transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority for the Bureau of Street Services, $5.87 million for the Department of General Services, $3.75 million is for transfer, appropriation and expenditure authority for Los Angeles Police Department and $5.22 million for other City funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no immediate General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations (CAO report dated August 14, 2023, Attachment No. 4).
|
|
|
|
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions recommended in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.
|
|
|
|
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of Municipal Facilities Capital Improvement Projects approved in the 2023-24 and 2021-22 Adopted Budgets would cause the City to borrow $131,406,967 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 20 years. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of Municipal Facilities/Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) Capital Improvements Projects with expired authority beyond the City’s Three-Year Spending Policy would cause the City to borrow $26,035,717 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the 2023-24 Municipal Facilities and LACC Capital Improvement Projects is $263,493,966, including interest of approximately $106,051,282.
During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $13,174,698 over 20 years. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of capital equipment acquisitions for various City departments approved in the 2023-24 and 2022-23 Adopted Budget would cause the City to borrow $97,572,391 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 10 years. The total estimated debt service for the capital equipment acquisitions is $129,447,114, including interest of approximately $31,874,723. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $12,944,711 over 10 years.
Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO cannot fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City’s Debt Management Policy, the City has established debt ceiling to guide in evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The 2023-24 Adopted Budget non voter-approved debt ratio is 2.54 percent. The issuance of debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non voter approved debt limit.
