REPORT

FROM: Gloria Leon, Treasurer
DATE: July 6, 2021
SUBJECT: Annual Report of the Calistoga Public Facilities Corporation
Approved by
L g e r , Acting Board President
DESCRIPTION
Annual Report of the Calistoga Public Facilities Corporation.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and File Report.
BACKGROUND
The Calistoga Public Facilities Corporation was created as a Section 501 (c) (4) non-profit
public benefit corporation in September 1987 by the City of Calistoga as part of the initial
financing of the new Police Station and parking lot. The costs of these improvements were
funded, in part, through the issuance of a 1987 $2, 115,000 Certificate of Participation (COP).
This type of non-profit corporation is required by the Federal IRS code in order to issue a
public financing instrument called a Certificate of Participation (COP). A COP is a typical
California public financing instrument for public facilities or equipment. It is essentially a type
of lease purchase that requires a third party for the lease transaction. The Calistoga Public
Facilities Corporation (CPFC) assigns all of the rights, obligations, and financial transactions
to others, such as the City or Trustee for the COP.
Even though the CPFC is a separate legal entity, it is considered a "component unit" of the City
and is included in the audit of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

In November 2007, the City issued a municipal lease for $4,649,000 to provide funding for
several community projects. The lease was secured by the public works facility and fire
station and provided funds to complete the projects. The lease was issued for 20 years at
4.95% annual interest. The funds were invested to earn an estimated $170,000 over the two-
year period, which served to offset a portion of the interest costs. In addition, the lease
incorporated the ability to pay off the financing in a shorter period than usual. This lease
was reset on May 1, 2016.
On April 5, 2016, through resolution 2016-029, the City Council approved a rate reset on
the City's existing 2007 Capital Improvement Project Lease. A rate reset with the original
lender; Westamerica Bank minimized the overall costs of the lease. The outstanding par
amount that was refunded was $3,870,414. The City's debt service is approximately
$374,000 and fiscal year savings approximately $52,400 per year. The lease was issued
for 12 years at 2.44% interest rate and payments to be made monthly commencing July 1,
2016. Current outstanding balance on June 30, 2021, is $2,298,348.
In June 2011, the City issued a previously authorized USDA loan of $3,750,000 to finance
construction of the Mt Washington Water Tank project. This financing, along with funds
previously authorized through Measure A, will fund the remainder of the project. The
USDA loan was issued for 40 years at 2.5% annual interest. Debt service payments will be
made from the Water Utility and were anticipated during the recently updated rates. The
current outstanding balance on June 30, 2021 , is $2,650,852.
On May 8, 2018, the City issued $8,920,000 2018 Water and Wastewater Revenue Certificates
of Participation ("2018 Refunding COPs"). The 2018 bond refinanced the 20050 Water, 2008
COPS Water, 2001 B Wastewater and 2005 COPs Wastewater. In total, the City refinanced
approximately $8 .9 million of outstanding debt for interest rate savings. The current
outstanding balance on June 30, 2021 , for Water is $3,390,000 and for Wastewater
$4,175,000.
2020/21 Activity
All debt service payments have been made on a timely basis for the 2007, 2011, and 2018
financing.
