Authorization REQUEST: The City Manager and Finance and Administrative Services Department are requesting the Commission adopt Bond Resolution 2011 -19 to accept the proposal by BB &T Bank to purchase the City's, not to exceed $880,617, Water and Sewer System Revenue Refunding Revenue Notes, Series 201113 to refund all of the City's outstanding Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2000; and authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to execute all necessary documents to complete a loan agreement with BB &T Bank. SYNOPSIS: The Purpose of this agenda item is approve the advanced refunding of the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2000; take advantage of the low interest rate environment and issue a traditional bank note to replace part of the outstanding bonds, to minimize the issuances costs and allow for maximum flexibility for repayment of the bank notes. CONSIDERATIONS: In 2000 the City of Winter Springs Issued $6,969,191 Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2000 with a final maturity of 30 years for the purpose of refinancing the original construction cost of the City's Utilities. Due to the soft economy, the interest rate environment is very favorable to refinancing debt that is in its later stages of repayment. Typically, bonds are issued for a term between 15 and 30 years at an increasing rate of interest as you move further from the date of issuance. This is best illustrated by the current yield curve seen below.

There are several considerations that were analyzed to develop the recommendation to refinance the 2000 bonds; financial gain, affordability of debt and flexibility in repayment of the debt. Current interest rates are at historically low levels, due primarily to the U.S. enduring one of the steepest economic contractions in many years. The Federal Reserve has maintained short and long -term rates at very low levels in order to attempt to stimulate economic growth. These low rates present an opportunity for the City to review its bond contracts to determine if refinancing debt would have a positive economic impact on the City's financials. The Series 2000 Bonds were issued on October 1, 2000 with the total principal amount of $6,969,191 and a weight average interest rate (coupon) of 5.80% over the 30 year term. After 10 years, the remaining principal outstanding (Series 2000) is now $6,549,191 (gross) with a weighted average interest rate of 5.917 %. The reason the weighted average interest rate has increased is because we have moved further away from the origination date and interest rates tend to increase over time (see Treasury Yield Curve above). This present an opportunity! Originally, the debt (Series 2000) was issued as an 30 year bond now the City has the opportunity to reissue part of this debt as a 10 year note and take advantage of exceptionally low interest rate market and the lower cost of interest for short term borrowing. These savings are demonstrated in the chart below. We have set the new proposed 2.65% (fixed rate) bank note next to the remaining bond payments. The net (NPV) effect of this refinancing is a savings of $89,607.05 over the next ten years. This savings is accomplished without extending the length of the debt beyond the original financing. SAVINGS City of Winter Springs Refunding of the Series 2000 Bonds (BB &T) Second, we have analyzed the ability of the Water and Sewer Utility pledged revenues to support this refinancing and have determined that current utilities revenue are healthy /sufficient enough to support this debt and to achieve a debt coverage ratio of 1.4% (1.1% is required) for the length of this new bank note. Additionally, by issuing a traditional bank note as an alternative to a traditional bond the City will realize a "Cost of Issuance" savings of approximately $134,000. If the City refinances the $880,000 (original maturity range 2011 - 2020), this will leave $5,669,187 (original maturity range 2021 -2030) of the original 2000 series bonds still outstanding. These bonds are not "callable" at this time. However, they could represent a source of additional saving in the future if interest rates remain low. The final variable reviewed was the flexibility of repayment terms between bank notes and bonds. The BB &T Bank Note has a "no prepayment penalty" clause which will permit the City repay the loan at anytime. Bonds typically are much more rigid in their terms for repayment. This flexibility is important because the City currently has an application with the State Revolving Loan Fund (SRLF) requesting a low interest rate loan to finance part or all of the Lake Jessup Reclaimed Water Project. The SRLF is a State agency that makes low interest loan available to Municipalities for Water and Sewer Infrastructure projects. These loans typically come with very favorable rates (2.96 %) and can be extended to terms as long as 20 years.

This financing request was bid via a formal Request for Proposal to all banks that had both the financial means to bid and are of the highest investment grade quality as deemed by Standard and Poor's and Fitch Rating. Three banks choose to bid on this financing (BB &T, Bank of America, SunTrust Bank) and BB &T Bank put forth the best proposal for this particular request. The RFP and the responses were managed by PFM, the City of Winter Springs' Financial Advisor. FISCAL IMPACT: Upon acceptance of the refinancing of the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2000 by BB &T Bank the City will realize a Net Present Value savings of $134,357 (10.29 %) over the remaining 10 years until final maturity of the BB &T note on 10/1/2020. This equates to a savings for the Water and Sewer Fund of $16,000 (nominal) annually. This coupled with the future recommendation to finance the Lake Jessup Reclaimed Water Project with SRLF monies, will yield significant savings for the City's Utility Operations.
