APPROVE the recommendations from the CAO report addendum dated August 20, 2024, attached to the Council file. APPROVE the Communication from the CAO – Amendment, dated August 28, 2024, attached to the Council file. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the August 7, 2024 CAO report, attached to the Council file, include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling $27.87 million. This consists of $11.67 million from various special funds, $8.43 million in MICLA financing, $7.50 million in CTIEP funds, and $0.27 million from the General Fund. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no additional General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations (Attachment No. 4 of the August 7, 2024 CAO report). In the CAO report addendum, it is reported that the recommendation stated in the report includes an appropriation up to $12 million from a General Obligation Bond (GOB) Fund. There is no additional General Fund impact for operations and maintenance costs as a result of the recommendations in the report addendum. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the August 7, 2024 CAO report, attached to the Council File, comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the current budget year. In the CAO report addendum, it is reported that the recommendations stated in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance, programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the current budget year. Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a General Fund obligation. The issuance of MICLA financing for the reauthorization of CTIEP projects included in this report would cause the City to borrow $49,847,049 at an approximate five and a half percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the CTIEP projects is $82,122,974, including interest of approximately $32,650,449. The issuance of MICLA financing for Yards and Shops Capital Equipment and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Fleet Replacement would cause the City to borrow $4,643,596 at an approximate five and a half percent interest rate over a period of ten years. The total estimated debt service for this equipment is $6,160,556 including interest of approximately $1,516,960. During the life of the bonds, the combined estimated average annual debt service is $4,672,209 over the first 10 years and $4,056,153 over the following ten 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 an 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 six-percent. The 2024-25 Adopted Budget non-voter-approved debt ratio is 2.66 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six-percent non-voter-approved debt limit. Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
