Financing Resident's Share of Street Reconstruction Costs &
Funding Public Works Facility
BACKGROUND
The City has a policy of using the Revolving Assessment Construction Fund
(RACF) to finance residents' portions of assessed street reconstruction costs. In
2007, the City Council requested that this policy be re-evaluated and staff
included it as a KFS goal for 2008. Staff review and discussion of the RACF
with our financial advisors, Ehlers & Associates, has yielded the following
information.
Current market conditions indicate that the city could issue debt for between
4-5%, depending on the exact timing and amount of the issuance. Typically
these "residential share" issuances are smaller in size (around $1 million per
year or $2 million on an every other year basis), and the rate we would receive
would be slightly higher than if we were to issue larger amounts of debt.
Currently the city is investing its reserves at a rate of return near 3%. Should
bond interest rates continue to be higher than available investment rates, the City
would face some negative arbitrage (earnings < cost) in both the construction
and debt service funds of these related projects.
In addition, the current assessment rate is 6% and assuming bond rates of 4-5%
and investment rates of 3%, it makes more sense to use the RACF to earn that
additional rate of return rather than using borrowed funds. Also, there are
additional costs associated with bond financing, such as issuance costs (fees and
underwriting costs), staff time in arranging the issuance, making debt service
payments, and arbitrage/rebate reporting. Current projections indicate a positive
cash flow position for the RACF for all future years. This projection includes
bonding for a public works facility and improvements to Audubon Road.
Therefore, based on the information listed above, it is staff's recommendation to
continue financing the residential share of assessments with the RACF and
bonding for state aid routes like Audubon Road. This position should be

reconsidered if market conditions change or if the RACF were to run into a
negative cash flow position.
In addition, Ehlers & Associates has helped us put together a cost benefit
analysis that compares financing the residential share of these costs with the
RACF versus bond financing under the current market conditions (see
Attachment #3).
We will also be discussing the financing options available for the Public Works
Facility. Staff's recommendation to finance the Public Works facility would be
to issue General Obligation CIP Bonds. At the work session on Monday night,
staff will discuss the requirements involved in issuing this type of debt and other
options available to finance the Public Works Facility. The anticipated bond
sale date for financing the facility will be the middle of October 2008.

years
years
months
($1 M * 6% * 4.5 years)
($1 M * 2.75% * 4.5 years)
($1 M * 6% * 4.5 years)
(see Note #1 below)
($1.026M * 4% * 4.5 years)
(see above)
(see above)
($1 M * 1.50% bond-invest spread * 6 mas)
(see Note #2 below)
Note #1: Assumes City keeps $1 million from RACF invested and does not use for another purpose.
If City spends these funds, the Net Benefit of the Bond scenario drops by as much as $123,750.
The amount depends on how much the City benefits from being able to use $1 M now versus at a future date.
Note #2: Assumes 10% of $1 M assessment is repaid to the City after bonds are sold but before the bond call date,
and that the City must invest these revenues at a rate lower than the bond rate.
