Page 2 November 1,2006 -; EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to Approve a Budget Amendment from Reserves within the Pine Ridge/Naples Production Park Debt Service Fund to Appropriate the Annual Principal and Interest Payments and Arbitrage Calculation Fees on Outstanding Special Assessment Revenue Bonds OBJECTIVE: To establish budget appropriations for debt service related expenses associated with outstanding special assessment revenue bonds for the Pine Ridge/Naples Production Park. CONSIDERATIONS: Special assessment revenue bonds, Series 1993, were issued in the aggregate amount of $17,335,000 for roadway and drainage improvements within the Pine Ridge Industrial Park and the Naples Production Park. The revenues supporting this bond issue are special assessments levied against benefiting properties. The final maturity date on these bonds is October 1,2013. Staff in the Clerk of Courts Finance Department typically prepares the debt service budgets, with input and review by OMB staff. The Clerk's Finance Department administers the debt service budgets and makes disbursements (payments of principal and interest on outstanding bonds, as well as fiscal agent fees) to various financial institutions in accordance with the covenants of each respective bond issue. The budget forecast in FY 06 anticipated paying off the entire principal and interest outstanding on the special assessment revenue bonds for the Pine Ridge/Naples Production Park. As such, no principal or interest payments were budgeted within this fund in FY 07. There is sufficient cash available (due to assessment pre- payments, interest earnings, and unspent bond proceeds) within the Pine Ridge/Naples Production Park Debt Service Fund (232) to retire all outstanding debt associated with this special assessment revenue bond. However, there are other issues such as alternative uses of surplus funds including additional improvements within the industrial parks, refunds, as well as collection of remaining special assessments outstanding. A principal payment of $765,000 and an interest payment of$166,719.37 are due on November 1,2006. As there is not an FY 07 budget appropriation for debt service at this time, the Clerk of Courts will not make the requisite payment. This Executive Summary is of a 'housekeeping" nature as available reserves within this debt service fund will be accessed to establish budget appropriations for the debt service payments, as well as the arbitrage calculations. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this Executive Summary. FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment of $1,172,500 is necessary to fund FY 07 principal- $765,000, interest (rounded) - $400,000, and arbitrage calculation fees - $7,500. Funds are available within reserves for debt service within the Pine Ridge/Naples Production Park debt service fund. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Approves a $1,172,500 budget amendment establishing budget appropriations for principal, interest, and arbitrage calculation fees; and 2. Authorizes staff to payoff the outstanding principal and interest on this bond issue in its entirety, and approve all associated budget amendments thereto.
