A summary of the purpose and primary characteristics of each issue is provided herein. Capital Improvement Bonds, Series 1996A The Capital Improvement Bonds are being issued to finance a portion of the City's 1996 Capital Improvement Program. The Capital Improvement Bonds are being issued in the total principal amount of $14,500,000, with principal repayment due March 1, 1997 through 2006. The structure for this issue was determined after discussions with City staff about fluctuations in the annual tax levies for SAINT PAUL, MN � MINNEAPOLIS, MN � BROOKFIELD, WI � OVERLAND PARK, KS • WASHINGTON, DC � ]OWA CITY, IA City of Saint Paul, Minnesota February 19, 1996 � � -� �u existing tax-supported debt. The structure was customized to partiafly smooth out levy requirements in the next several years. Additional customizing of the structure for Capital fmprovement Bonds is expected to be conducted for next year's issue as well. The Capital Improvement Bonds will be paid primarify from annuat tax levies. However, approximately $2 million of the issue, representing a portion of the Wabasha Street Bridge financing, is expected to be paid from annual revenues from the District Heating franchise fee. Page 7 of these recommendations indicates the proposed debt service schedule for the Capital Improvement Bonds and also shows the franchise fee revenue needed to offset the tax levy (Column 8). Column 9 indicates the estimated tax levy portion of the issue based on current interest rates. The first levy for this issue was made in 1995, payabfe in 1996, to cover the firsi interesi payment due on September 1, 1996 and the subsequent principai and interest payment due March 1, 1997. This payment cycle will continue fior the life of the bonds. Street Improvement Special Assessment Bonds, Series 1996B The Street Improvement Bonds are being issued in the totai principal amount of $2,220,000 to finance street construction projects for Cretin/Bayard, ComoNalentine, Fourth/Howard, Hatch/Park and Ivy/Birmingham. This issue will be paid from special assessments against benefited property. Special assessments totaling approximately $2,220,000 are expected to be filed by November 15, 1996. Assessments that are not prepaid by that date will be spread in 20 even annual installments of principal, with interest on the unpaid balance charged at an estimated rate of approximately 6.00°/a. Historically, the City has been receiving prepayments for approximately 20-30% of the assessments filed each year within 30 days of adoption of the assessment rolis. In accordance with City policy, interest is not charged on prepayments received during the 30-day period. , Page 8 provides an estimated assessment income schedule and assumes approximately 20% of the assessments will be prepaid. City staff has reviewed several financing options in an effort to avoid assessment income shortfalis in the event the prepayments received cannot be invested at a rate at least equal to the bond rate. The debt service schedule for this issue has been structured to provide for a large principal payment of $300,000 in the first year (March 1, 1997), which will be made from the projected prepayments received in the first year of collection. Typically, the remaining principal payments would be made over the next 19 years to match the remaining term of the assessments. However, prepayments historically continue to come in each year, so we have shortened up the issue to a 12-year obligation with a balloon payment of $950,000 due on March 1, 2008. This will allow the City the flexibility to pay off all or a portion of that principal amount from additional prepayments which have been accumulating. If a portion of the balloon payment cannot be covered by assessment funds on hand, the City can refinance that balance over the remaining term of the assessments. This refinancing could either take the form of an internal loan or it could be included in the City's annual bond issue for street improvements. The debt service schedule for the Street Improvement Bonds is provided on page 9. The shoRening of the issue's term to 12 years from 20 years has the potential to significantly reduce overail interest costs to the City. We have included a call feature in this issue which allows the City to refinance the issue as early as March 1, 2004 or any date thereafter. Page 2 City of Saint Paul, Minnesota February 19, 1996 Street Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 1996C �,c�-a�o The objective of this refunding is to reduce interest costs on certain outstanding debt. Proceeds ofi the Street Improvement Refunding Bonds will be used to refund in advance of maturity the following outstanding issues: 4tefunded Street lmorovement Bonds General Obiigation Improvement Bonds, Series 1985A, dated July 1, 1985 General Obiigation Street Improvement Speciai Assessment Bonds, Series 1986, dated June 1, 1986 Generai Obligation Street improvement Special Assessment Bonds, Series 1987, dated April 1, 1987 General Obligation Street Improvement Special Assessment Bonds, Series 1988D, dated March 1, 1988 General Obligation Street Improvement Speciai Assessment Bonds, Series 19896, dated March 7, 1989 General Obiigation Street improvement Special Assessment Bonds, Series 19906, dated Apri{ 1, 1990 Total Refunded Debt Maturities to be Refunded 1997-2006 1997-2007 1997-2008 1997-2009 1997-2010 1997-2011 Total Amount of Refunded Princip� $ 690,000 1,320,000 1,400,000 1,710,000 1,350,000 �i�tl� � � �7 $8,440,OQ0 Redemption Date [b�l 2-1-97 � Eb�l 3-1-99 � Based on current market conditions, we anticipate the 1985 through 1990 issues can be refinanced at a net effective rate of approximately 4.54%. The remaining debt currently outstanding for the 1985 through 1990 bonds carries net interest rates ranging from 6.02% to 8.20%. The net savings anticipated due to the refundings is approximately $1,623,212 and the present value savings is approximately $915,518. These savings figures are net of ali costs of issuance. A summary of the annual savings is shown in Column E on page 11 of these recommendations. Included in the refundings are cash contributions from each old issue, representing existing funds on hand as a result of assessment prepayments and investment income. The contribution of this cash in the refundings is required by arbitrage regulations, but also allows the City to reduce the amount of new principat issued to replace the old bonds. In addition, the City used existing funds to cover a balloon payment due on February 1, 1996 for its 1993 Temporary Improvement Bonds, rather than extemally refinancing them. Prior to the refunding, the cash position for the 1985 through 1990 issues totaled approximately $3,555,900; payment of the 1993 Temporary Bonds totaled $1,482,295, leaving a net amount of remaining cash used in the refundings of approximately $2,073,000. The 1985 through 1990 issues of street improvement special assessment bonds will be refunded by means of a"full net advance" refunding. For this method of refunding, proceeds of the new issue will be placed in an escrow account held by a bank and invested in government securities to pay all of the debt service requirements of the old bonds through the earliest cail date for each issue. Page 3 City of Saint Paul, Minnesota February 19, 1996 ��-a�d The Street Improvement Refunding Bonds will be paid from the same assessments originaily filed for the 1985 through 1990 bonds. In addition, assessment income originally filed for the 1993 7emporary Bonds will also be used to cover debt service requirements. The debt service schedule for the Street Improvement Refunding Bonds is provided on page 12. Although the remaining assessment income of the 1985 through 1990 and 1993 bonds is pledged to this issue (Column 8), a net tax levy occurs, as shown in Column 9. This levy requirement is due to a situation regarding the 1986 improvement Bonds. The City staff is reviewing the special assessment colleciion history of ihe 1986 issue. Water Pollution Abatement Refunding Bonds, Series 1996D The objective of this refunding is to reduce interest costs on existing debt. Proceeds of the Water Poilution Abatement (4VPA) Refunding Bonds will be used to refund in advance of maturity the following outstanding issues: Refunded WPA Bonds General Obligation Water Poilution Abatement Refunding Bonds, Series 1975, dated March 1, 1975 General Obligation Water Poilution Abatement Refunding Bonds, Series 1987, dated April 1, 1987 Total Refunded Debt Maturities to be Refunded 1997-2005 1997-2004 Total Amount of Refunded Princip� $1,410,000 �c ��� $8,845,OOD Redemption Date � � The refunding of the 1975 and 1987 WPA Bonds will be conducted using the same method as the Street Improvement Refunding, a"full net advance" refunding. The 1975 WPA Bonds are outstanding at a net interest rate of 6.25% and the 1987 WPA Bonds are outstanding at a net interest rate of 5.83%. Based on current market conditions, we anticipate both issues can be refinanced at a net effective rate of approximately 4.16%. The net savings anticipated due to the refunding is approximately $500,157, with a present value savings of approximately $427,842. A summary of the annual savings is shown in Column E on page 14. The City's existing WPA debt is currently being paid from net revenues of the City's sewer fund. It is anticipated that the WPA Refunding Bonds wili continue to be paid from this source as weil. Common to All lssues In addition to our recommendations above for each individual issue, we recommend the foilowing items, which are common to all four of the bond issues: Sale Date and Time 2. Prepayment Provisions Wednesday, March 13, 1996 at 10:30 A.M. with award by the Councii at 3:30 P.M. ihe same day. For each issue, except the WPA Refunding, bonds maturing on March 1, 2005 and thereafter will be callable on March 1, 2004 and any date thereafter at par and accrued interest. Due to their short maturity Page 4 City of Saint Paul, Minnesota February 19, 1996 3. :� 5. C�7 � Credit Rating Comments �I �-�. to schedule, the WPA Refunding Bonds will not be subject to redemption prior to their maturity. Rating applications will be made to Moody's Investors Service, Standard 8 Poor's and Fitch Investors Service for these issues. City staff is currently preparing for rating teleconferences that witl be held with each of the agencies prior to the sales. Bank Qualification These issues ezceed $10,000,000 and are therefore not eligible for bank qualification. Non-bank-qualified bonds receive interest rates slightly higher than bank-qualified bonds. Rebate Requirements The bonds are subject to the federal rebate requirements. However, if the City can meet the 18-month or 2-year spend-down requirements for the Capital Improvement and Street Improvement Bonds, these issues will be exempt from rebate. The City will not owe any rebate from the investment of the bond proceeds for the two refunding issues because the proceeds will be invested in the escrow accounts at a yield tess than the yield on each of the refunding bond issues. Bona Fide Debt Service Fund The City must maintain a bona fide debt service fund for each issue or be subject to yield restriction. Economic Life The average maturity of the bonds cannot exceed 120% of the economic life of the projects being financed. The economic life for infrastructure improvements is 20 years and for capital facilities it is 40-50 years. These issues are within the economic life requirements. Continuing Disclosure These issues are subject to the SEC's new continuing disclosure rules. A summary of the requirements has been provided to your staff. Springsted provides continuing disclosure services under separate contract, copies of which have also been provided to your staff. Page 5 City of Saint Paul, Minnesota February 19, 1996 �l�-a.�o 9.
