FROM: A.C. Marriotti, District Treasurer FINANCIAL / BUDGET SUMMARY: This item only affects the underlying security of the District's bonds. There is no impact to the District's revenues and expenditures. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Series 2020 & Series 2022 Depository Agreements state that the letters of credit (LOC) used to secure bonds for the District are reviewed each February and, based on a formula, are subject to reduction. As the District develops, property valuations and anticipated property tax collections increase, lowering the amount of LOC security required. The bond documents anticipate and provide for a reduction to the LOC amounts as the district builds out. The proposed resolution provides the necessary authorization for the District Treasurer to notify the bank holding the LOCs to make such reductions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution. SUGGESTED MOTION : I move to adopt Resolution No. 2026-0035. DISCUSSION: See attachment for more information. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
