ANALYSIS:
Due to the dissolution of redeve lo pment agencies, the Successor Agency now has the
responsibility for repayment of the 2005 TABS . With the passage of AB 1484 , the Successor
Agency may refund existing bonds, with the approval of the Oversight Board of the
Successor Agency to the Former Temp le City Redevelopment Agency (Oversight Board)
and the State Department of Finance for the purpose of generating a debt service savings .
Interest rates are currently at historic lows . By issuing a refunding bond issue (the "2016
Bonds") to refinance the outstanding principal of the 2005 Bonds , a debt service savings
of approximately $600 ,000 can be generated , The final savings amount will depend on
the market interest rates in effect at the time the 2016 Bonds are priced , which is
anticipated to be in the Spring of 2016.. Based on the redevelopment dissolution laws ,
the estimated annual savings amount, approximately $60 ,000 per year through 2025,
would be shared among the ta x ing entiti es (i .e ., County of Los Angeles , Temple City
Unified School District and Los Angeles Community College District) as residual
revenues . 1 '>
c,l \'{ ( I J ~"'(~ ~
To assist ~ Suc_cessor A ~n~y with t!)~fundi of the 2005 TABS , tis recommended
that the ~or Ag~n cy) hire akinancial dvisor. Financial dvisory firms have
expertise with refunding redevelopment agency bonds especially with the new
requirements since the passage of AB 1484.
Staff received four proposals fo rknancial }:;;,ory services. After an extensive review
and vetting process by the City Manager and the Administrative Services Director, Urban
Futures is recommended . Urban Futures ' understanding of the project and their
experience with this type of work and similar projects provides the level of expertise the
Successor Agency is looking for.
If this Professional Services Agreement is approve ~aff will be returning to the Successor
Agency in December 2015 , for adoption of j{e"~;l~tion s and other bond documents
necessary to begin the refunding process . At that time a detailed timeline of activities and
further estimated cost savings will be presented . Staff will also be taking the necessary
actions to the Oversight Board for their approval in either December 2015 or January 2016 .
CITY STRATEGIC GOALS:
Refunding of the 2005 TABS will promote or further the City's/Successor Agency 's
Strategic Goal of Good Governance.
