Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
The proposed ordinance supports various debt management objectives, which include refunding of existing bonds to realize interest cost savings, restructuring of bonds to provide relief of airport financial metrics, fixing the rate on variable rate bonds and terminating associated interest rate swaps. The 2020A-C bonds will be initially issued as fixed rate obligations. The final par-amount, lien designation for the bond restructuring (senior versus subordinate) and rate of interest will be determined on the day of pricing and is dependent on market conditions but will not exceed authorized amounts.
This ordinance request should be read in conjunction with the ordinance request being submitted simultaneously requesting authorization to issue subordinate airport bonds for refunding and bond restructuring purposes (Series 2020D). The Department of Finance would like to preserve the flexibility to allocate the bond restructuring between the senior and subordinate liens based on what is most financially advantageous, as we closer approach the bond sale. Therefore, we are presenting, two ordinances for partially the same purpose - one authorizing senior bonds and the other authorizing subordinate bonds, but the aggregate amount of the bond restructuring will not exceed $80 million.
The proposed 2020A-C Bonds are not considered new money financings that would add to the Airports existing principal portfolio balance and NO new funding for projects is being sought for financing at this time. The bonds are and will continue to be paid solely from airport revenues and are not a direct obligation of the City.
