(b) Principal Account, and

from the Bond Fund and deposit in the Interest Account that amount of money which is equal to
the amount of interest becoming due and payable on all Outstanding Bonds on such Interest

the redemption (or payment at maturity, as the case may be) of Term Bonds of the series and

private sale, as and when and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges, but
excluding accrued interest, which is payable from the Interest Account), as may be directed by
the Local Agency, except that the purchase price (excluding accrued interest) shall not exceed
the redemption price that would be payable for such Bonds upon redemption by application of

any sinking fund account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee only to purchase or to
redeem or to pay Term Bonds for which such Sinking Account was created-

following Section shall apply in the event the Local Agency were to elect to enter into a
Qualified Swap Agreement in connection with Additional Bonds. The Trustee shall establish a
special fund designated as the "City of Palm Springs Deposit Fund, Series (the "Deposit
OHS Wmt:260103170.3 30
Fund")- The Deposit Fund shall be funded and applied solely in accordance with this Section; it
is intended for the proper matching of debt service payments on the Auction Rate Securities and
Index Bonds, if any, that are covered by Qualified Swap Agreements, with the related Swap
Payments and the required netting of such payments in order to assure full and timely payments
to the Holders of the Auction Rate Securities and Index Bonds affected by such Qualified Swap

Securities which, when added to the aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Auction Rate Securities to be purchased by such Potential
Owners described in clause (B)(II) above, would equal not less than the
Available Auction Rate Securities.
(ii) Promptly after the Auction Agent has made the determinations
pursuant to subsection(c)(i)hereof, the Auction Agent, by telecopy confirmed in writing,
shall advise the Local Agency and the Trustee of the Maximum Auction Rate and the

the next succeeding Auction Rate Period shall be equal to the Winning Bid
Rate so determined;

by DTC.
SECTION 2.09. Adjustment in Percentages.
(a) During any period while Auction Rate Securities are Outstanding, the
Market Agent may, with the consent of the Insurer, adjust the percentage used in determining the

of Preference Law such that the Maximum Auction Rate and Minimum Rate shall have
substantially equal market values before and after such Change of Preference Law. In making
OHS W=260103170.3 G-22

percentage used in determining the Minimum Rate and the Applicable Percentage used in
determining the Maximum Auction Rate pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section by means of
Notice of Percentage Change delivered at least 10 days prior to the Auction Date on which the
Market Agent desires to effect the change to the Local Agency, the Trustee and the Auction
Agent in substantially the farm set forth herein as Exhibit H.

11:00 A.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Auction
Date, a certificate from the Market Agent by telecopy or similar means, authorizing the
adjustment of the percentage used to determine the Minimum Rate and the Applicable
Percentage used to determine the Maximum Auction Rate which shall be specified in
such authorization; and
(ii) the Trustee, the Insurer and the Auction Agent receive by

(a) While any Auction Rate Securities are Outstanding, the Local Agency, at
its option, with the consent of the Insurer, may from time to time on any Interest Payment Date
change the length of the Standard Auction Rate Period on all or a portion of any Auction Rate
Securities from one period to another in order to accommodate economic and financial factors
that may affect or be relevant to the length of the Standard Auction Rate Period and the interest
rate borne by such Auction Rate Securities, The Local Agency shall initiate the change in the

allowed unless Sufficient Clearing Bids existed at both the Auction before the date which the
notice of the proposed change was given as provided in (a) above and the Auction immediately
preceding the proposed change.

only if (A) the Trustee and the Auction Agent receive by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the
Business Day before the Auction Date for the first such Standard Auction Rate Period, a
certificate from the Local Agency Representative, authorizing the change in the length of the
Standard Auction Rate Period specified in such certificate, and (13) Sufficient Clearing Bids exist

following which period, the Local Agency shall initiate proceedings to convert such Auction
Rate Securities to a Fixed Rate.
(d) Any Auction Rate Securities for which the Standard Auction Rate Period
is changed shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the Interest Payment Date
immediately following the Auction Date on which there has been a successful Auction of such
Auction Rate Securities (subject to the availability of funds sufficient to pay the Tender Price of

�PR CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 20, 2006 NEW BUSINESS
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF
APPROXIMATELY $20 MILLION OF PENSION OBLIGATION
BONDS THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES
FINANANCING PROGRAM, APPROVE THE TRUST AND
PURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE VALIDATION
ACTION.
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Finance and Treasury
SUMMARY
The City has the opportunity to save approximately $307,800 a year by issuing
Pension Obligation Bonds through the California Communities Financing
Program. The issuance of approximately $20 million in bonds would reduce the
City's unfunded accrued actuarial liability by 50%. It would allow for possible
savings if CAL PERS investments exceed their projected return. Limiting the
issue to this amount will keep the City debt ratio at an acceptable level and still
allow the City to issue other bonds in the future for other needs.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
ISSUANCE OF ONE OR MORE SERIES OF PENSION OBLIGATION
BONDS, APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A TRUST AGREEMENT AND A
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND AUTHORIZING A VALIDATION

Item 5 . 13 .
City Council Staff Report
December 20, 2006— Page 2
Pension Obligations Bands Resolution
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff has met with representatives of the California Communities Financing
Program to investigate possible savings the City might receive if it issued
Pension Obligation bonds through the California Communities Financing Pool.
Staff, in concert, with the City's Financial Advisor, Suzanne Harrell of Harrell and
Associates, explored several levels of funding and their possible impacts.
After reviewing the different options staff has recommended that the City Council
approve issuance of approximately $20 million in Pension Obligation Bonds
through the Pool. This amount would increase the City's funded level of pension
costs to approximately 90%. This would decrease the City unfunded accrued
actuarial liability by 50%. With the present interest rates and the current formula
used by CAL PERS to calculate the City's unfunded liability costs, it is estimated
the City would see an annual savings of approximately $307,800 in its pension
costs. This savings is achieved because of the difference in the interest rate of
the bonds vs. the rate of return charged by CAL PERS.
Staff met with the Finance Sub-committee on October 25, 2006 to review the
proposal. As a preliminary first step, the City Council approved the filing of an
application to the California Communities Financing Program at the November 1,
2006 City Council Meeting. Staff met a second time with the Finance Sub-
committee on November 20, 2008 to present updated information concerning the
program and answer additional questions. Attached is a copy of the material
presented to the Finance Sub-committee at the November 20, 2206 meeting,
which includes a memorandum from the Suzanne Harrell, the City's Financial
Advisor. This material outlines various components of pension obligation bonds,
the advantages, potential risks, and mitigating factors and staff s
recommendations.
The adoption of this resolution and approval of the trust and purchase
agreements will be necessary for the validation action of the issue to start.
Copies of the Trust and Purchase Agreements are on file in the City Clerk's
Office. The resolution also authorizes Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe to be Bond
Counsel. The validation of the issue will take between 60-90 days. The cost of
the validation process is approximately $7,500 and if the bonds were issued
would be paid by bond proceeds.
City Council Staff Report
December 20, 2006—Page 3
Pension Obligations Bonds Resolution
Once the validation process is complete, the underwriters, RBC Capital Markets,
would update its financial analysis with the most current interest rate pricing
projections. If the updated analysis met with the City's satisfaction, staff would
then direct the underwriters and bond counsel to prepare the Preliminary Official
Statement and Official for final approval by the City Council. It is anticipated that
the bonds would be issued in early April.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The validation process costs approximately $7,500. These costs can come out of
the bond proceeds if the bonds are issued. If the City issues approximately $20
million in bonds, it is projected the City will have an annual savings of$307,800 in
it's pension costs.

PENSION OBLIGATION BONDS
Finance Sub-committee Meeting-November 20, 2006
1. Overview
a. Sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California
State Association of Counties
b. Bonds Issued under California Communities Pool
c. Underwriters are RBC Capital Markets
d. Bond Counsel is Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe
e. Six entities currently projected to be in proposed pool
f. Approximately seventy cities and counties have issued POBs
2. Why Pension Obligation Bonds
a. To totally or partially fund an organization "Unfunded Accrued
Actuarial Liability" ("UAAL or"Unfunded Liability") Unfunded
liability is the amount determined to be insufficient to meet the
future payment obligations of the employer
b. To raise immediate cash or reduce annual pension costs
c. The City of Palm Springs unfunded accrued actuarial liability as
of June 30, 2005 was $40,911,973
d. The City of Palm Springs was funded with CAL PERS at
approximately 81% as of June 30, 2005.
d. The City can receive cash flow savings since prior liability is
amortized at CALPERS actuarially assumed investment rate of
7.75% and the projected current 30 year taxable bond pension
bond rate is approximately 5.70%
3, Potential Risks vs. Mitigating Factors
a. PERS investments are Dower than interest rate on POB's
1. New 15 year smoothing formula of CAL PERS of gains
and losses allows for fewer swings in average rate of return
on investments
2. With 15 year smoothing formula using the time period of
1984-2005, actuarial returns have not dropped below 7.75%
3. Significant enough spread between current actuarial rate
of T 75% and projected bond rate of 5-70%
b- Strong investment returns may result in participant over funding
or surplus
1. Partial funding of unfunded liability allows for future
savings if investment return increases above 7.75%
2, Staff is recommending funding at 90916, leaving adequate
room to compensate possible surplus
c- Issuing of more bonds does increase formal debt ratio
1. Rating Agencies already look at long term pension costs
in analyzing debt ratio
2. POB's are not counted the same as a brand new debt
issue
3. The recommended size of issue for City still leaves
enough debt ratio for the City to do other projects through
debt service
4. Recommendations
a. That the city funds 50% of unfunded liability, and would see an
annual savings in pension costs of approximately $307,800.
b- Increases City's funded pension obligation to approximately 90%
c. Keeps City overall City debt approximately 11.5%, which is an
acceptable level of debt.
d. Allows City to enjoy additional savings if investment earning are
higher than projected CALPERS rate of 7.75% over 15 years
smoothing period
6. Previous Actions
a. Reviewed by Finance Sub-committee on October 25, 2006
b. City Council authorizes submission of application into POB pool
at November 1, 2006 City Council Meeting
7. Next Steps
a. Adopt Resolution authorizing Issuance of Bonds, Approving
Trust and Purchase Agreement, and authorizing Validation Action
b. Authorize $7,500 in legal costs for Validation Action, which can
later be paid from bond proceeds
c. Validation Action filed with 90 day validation period
e. Interest rates are established, if rates still low enough city
moves forward with Bond Issue
f. Approval of Preliminary Official Statement, Official Statement
and other closing documents

Please find attached the materials you requested in regard to the POD CSCDA Pooled Program. We have used
the new 2005 CalPERS Report to update the financing analysis based upon a 50%funding assumption and a
level savings solution. We have also used an April 1, 2007 Delivery Date which would be about the timing for the
closing of the financing. The refunding results are shown below.-

These results are very comparable to the early October financing results in spite of the slightly higher UAAL(the
UAAL increased$796,738). The interest rates were effectively unchanged from when we last ran the numbers.

Re: Pension Obligation Bonds
You asked that I provide my opinion on the financing options presented to the City
regarding the unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) that currently exists in your PERS pension
Plan.
As of June 30, 2004, the City's pension plan was approximately 82% funded for both safety
and miscellaneous personnel. Because the PERS investment returns have been generally
good and the reporting of the UAL lags by a year, I suspect your funding status will be a
little higher when you receive the June 30, 2005 numbers. The table below shows the
funding status for a number of cities in Southern California with population in the same
general range as Palm Springs,as well as some of your neighboring communities.
CityTfPopuladonl Misc Employees Funding Status Sa£etT E=Ioyees Funding Status
La Mirada (50,000) 89.6% N/A
Azusa (48,000) 90.2% 82.2°%
Covina (49,000) 102.1% 109.2%
Indio (71,000) 100.6% 101.7%
Palm Desert (49,000) 83.1% N/A
La Quinta (38,000) 89-2% N/A
As you can sec,it is not unusual fox: a city to be less than, 100% funded. Typically, funding
of the pension obligation is around 90%,regardless of the size of a city. I believe this is the
range of funding that Palm Springs could consider. Based on the RBC numbers, financing
approximately $19 million of the UAL will achieve at least 90% funding and provide a
moderate budget savings of$300,000 annually. While funding of 100% of the UAL would
provide double the budget savings, it does have an adverse affect on the City's debt ratios.
Doubling the bond size to $39 million would increase the debt pet capita by another $417,
bumping your General Fund-only debt per capita over $3,000 (the City's aggregate debt per
capita ratio is approximately $1,000 higher if the tax allocation bonds and airport bonds are
included). Palm Spnngs already has a high debt burden due to the financing of the
convention center and airport, and I ferl that keeping the General Fund per capita figure
under$3,000 is prudent.

October 22,2006
In addition, financing 50% of the UAL increases your debt service on bonded debt as a
percent of the General Fund budget to 11.5% from the existing 10.1%. Financing 100% of
the UAL would increase this percentage to 12.2%,which again,is higher than most averages.
The City of Palm Springs has convention center and airport debt service that causes your
averages to be higher than most cities of your size and budget, and that has to be considered
in any decision to covert non-bonded obligations to bonded debr. I reference the S&P
rating report for the Convention Centcn Expansion financing in 2004_ The Cites above-
average wealth levels, low unemployment, strong assessed value growth and good historical
financial performance were positive credit factors in determining the City's General Fund
"A" rating. however, these strengths were offset by the local economy s dependency on
tourism and the City's high per capita debt levels after the issuance of the 2004 Bonds. The
report also states that the City expects minimal bonding needs in the near to medium future
as a factor in the stable financial outlook.
We know that the UAL is taken into account in any credit rating process. blowevu, it is a
not one-fox-one relationship. Reference to the S&P rating criteria shows that non-bonded
UAL is not included in their debt ratio calculation. Further based on the S&P report, I
expect that the negative impact of the increase in the debt per capita figure from a $39
million issuance to fund the entire UAL will more than offset any positive impact of having
the City's pension obligation funded at 100%. The following is the S&P discussion of this
factor, from their January 20,2004 research report:
"....The risk of adding too much leverage is another factor for POB issuers to consider. Borrowing
for any purpose increases leverage, and incurring debt to pay unfunded liabilities is no different.
While the issuer is substituting one type of long-term liability(POB) for another(UAAL), there is a
difference, In most cases, bond debt service is a 'harder"obligation than the "softer"contribution
payments used to amortize the UAAL. Bond debt service must be paid in full and on time or the
issue falls into default, with wide ramifications. For certain employers, conbibuffon payments, on
the other hand, may be temporarily deferred or reduced without serious negative consequences.
Therefore, the size of the POB relative to the total debt structure of the issuer must be measured
in terms of what level of debt service can be managed if actual future investment returns do not
meet the original POB plan projections."
Given all the concerns for the City's credit rating described above, I would recommend
limiting the funding of your UAL to 90%, and issuing $19 tnillion or less in Pension
Obligation.Bonds. I feel this is an acceptable compromise giving the level of budget savings
offset by the possibility of the negative credit impacts of funding the entire obligation. I
believe that Palm Springs is unique in the fact that, with a population of approximately
50,000, you operate an airport and convention center, and have financed those facilities. I
don't think those unique facts have been given enough consideration in the proposal to fund
100%of your UAL.
I would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have concerning this
information. I have attached the S&P Pension Obligation Bond research report for your
reference.

3 DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO
4 VALIDATE:
5 The City provides its employees with a retirement plan under the requirements of
6 the Public Employees Retirement Law, California Government Code section 20000 at seq. (the
7 "Retirement Law"), pursuant io a contract, as amended from time to time (the "PERS Contract"),
8 it has entered into with the Public Employees Retirement System (the "System"), The Retirement
9 Law obligates the City, among other things, to: (a)make annual contributions to the System;
10 (b)amortize the unfunded accrued actuarial liability of the City, which is the liability that has
11 accrued but which the City has not yet paid to the System (the unfunded liability, hereinafter, the
12 "Pension Obligation"); and (c) appropriate funds to meet these obligations.
13 The City's Pension Obligation was last estimated by the System to be
14 approximately $38,764,868, The City currently must pay the System interest on the Pension
15 Obligation at the rate of seven and three quarters percent per annum. The City understands and
16 believes that, in the current market, it can issue taxable bonds at an interest rate of less than seven
17 and three quarters percent per annum. Thus, the City can realize a substantial savings by issuing
18 bonds, using the proceeds to refund its Pension Obligation, and thereby pay a lower interest rate
19 on the bonds than the rate it would otherwise have to pay to the System.
20 On December 20, 2006, the City Council adopted a resolution (the "Resolution")
21 which authorized and approved the issuance and sale of the Pension Obligation Bonds for the
22 purpose of refunding a portion of the Pension Obligation, and to pay costs of issuance,
23 underwriter's discount, and original issue discount, if any, in connection with the Pension
24 Obligation Bonds. The City also approved and authorized the issuance and sale of Additional
25 Bonds from time to time in the future for similar purposes. The Pension Obligation Bonds will be
26 in an aggregate principal amount which shall not exceed the principal amount of the Pension
27 Obligation plus any underwriter's discount, original issue discount, and costs of issuance, and
28 will mature not later than thirty years from the date of issuance.

2 deliver, the Trust Agreement, pursuani to which the proceeds from the sale of the Pension
3 Obligation Bonds will be deposited with a trustee, which in turn will remit such proceeds to the
4 System to refund the Pension Obligation. The Resolution further authorized that the City may
5 execute and deliver a Purchase Agreement related to the issuance of the bonds-
6 The City filed this validation action to obtain a judicial declaration of the validity
7 of the matters alleged in the City's complaint and described herein. In this action, the City seeks

Subject: Validation action
Hi Jay,
We're coming to the end of the notice period in the pension obligation bond validation action (Monday, February
12th is the last day). You previously helped us with posting the summons in two places in the city. We'll need to
file the affidavit(s)of posting as quickly as possible next week, so if you could please have the affidavit(s)
executed and sent to me via Fed Ex at the address below, that would be very helpful. Our Fed Ex account
number is 1025 75300 -please feel free to use it. If you would like me to draft and send the affidavits for
signature,just let me know- last time we talked you said you had the affidavits you commonly use and would just
use those. Either way is great.
Thanks again for your help with this.
