REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2016A
BACKGROUND: The City’s wastewater system has over $250 million in
bonds and State loans outstanding. In June 2007, the City issued
$67,010,000 of Wastewater Revenue Bonds, Series 2007A (“2007A
Bonds”) to fund wastewater projects and refund the 1996A, 1998B,
2001B and 2004B Wastewater Revenue Bonds. In July 2008, the City
issued $48,630,000 of Wastewater Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A
(“2008A Bonds”) to fund wastewater projects. In March 2000, the City
entered into a revolving loan contract with the State Water Resources
Control Board (the “State Loans”), which has subsequently been
amended several times to increase the revolving loan amount. There are
currently over $55 million in outstanding scheduled principal repayments
associated with this loan contract.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department,
the Water Department, and the Board of Public Utilities that the Council,
by resolution, approve the forms of the Preliminary Official Statement,
Continuing Disclosure Certificate, 19th Supplemental Indenture of Trust,
Escrow Deposit and Trust Agreement and Bond Purchase Agreement in
connection with the issuance of Wastewater Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series 2016A (the “2016A Bonds”) in order to redeem a portion of the
City’s outstanding wastewater debt for debt service savings.

City Council JUNE 28, 2016
City School District (School District) and City of Santa Rosa (City) to
enter into a Twelfth Amendment to the Holding Agreement pursuant to
construction of a low and/or moderate housing development on Fir Ridge
Drive. It is not likely that the School District will have a fully executed
contract in place with a developer prior to June 30, 2016, as required
under the Twelfth Amendment milestones to the Holding Agreement.
Due to the significant good faith efforts by the School District, the City
aims to extend all of the milestones set forth in the Twelfth Amendment
for an additional three years to allow the District ample time to complete
their efforts on this Project. Moreover, subsequent to the agreed upon
three year extension, the City Manager shall have the authority and
discretion to act on behalf of the City Council to execute a further
agreement to extend these milestones further if the project is progressing
substantially.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office
that the Council, by resolution, approve the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City of Santa Rosa (City) and the
Santa Rosa City School District (School District), extending the Twelfth
Amendment milestones to the Holding Agreement for an additional three
years and to memorialize the partnership between the City and School
District in order to achieve low and/or moderate income housing for
School District employees on Fir Ridge Drive, Lot “F” (APN
173-620-030).
