Fp��Ms O A4f 2 u+ V N M o ,e' C,g41FORa�p City Council Staff Repo rt DATE: July 9, 2008 Consent Calendar SUBJECT: Appropriation of Passenger Facility Charges FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Finance and Treasury and Airport Department SUMMARY As part of the refinancing of the Airport General Revenue Bonds with funds from the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC), the Council authorized the use of PFC revenue to pay the costs of issuance for the new issue, and to pay down existing bonds from accumulated PFC Fund Reserves. The PFC revenues are restricted to these uses by law and cannot be used for any other Airport or City purposes. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution amending the budget to use $515,000 to redeem previously issued 2006 PFC bonds, $182,000 to pay costs of issuance and $385,445 to deposit to the refunding escrow for the 1998 General Airport Revenue Bonds. STAFF ANALYSIS: The PFC is a $4 per passenger charge. The airlines collect the fee, and after a small deduction for administrative costs, pass the balance on to the City. PFC revenues are restricted to paying off the bonds that were used for the Airport's expansion, or for the costs of issuance of new PFC bonds. PFC revenue for Fiscal Year 2007-08 is expected to be about $3.1 million. Because collections were higher than anticipated in the 2006 PFC bond issue, the City is required to use of surplus funds to call bonds. Additionally, some of the surplus was used to pay the costs of issuance of the 2008 PFC bond issue, which refinanced the 1998 General Airport Revenue Bond. Item No. 2 • H • City Council Staff Report July 9, 2008 -- Page 2 Appropriation of PFC The resolution appropriating funds from the PFC reserve is essentially a house-keeping item. FISCAL IMPACT: Future debt service payments for the 2006 PFC bond issue will be somewhat less because of a portion of the principal was paid down. The refinancing of the 1998 GARB freed up about $1.2 million in Airport reserves required by that bond issue. There is no direct fiscal impact to the Airport's operating departments. There is no General Fund impact. Geoffr y S. Kiehl Thomas Nolan Director of Finance and Treasurer Executive Director, Airport David H. Ready, City er Attachments: 0000�� RESOLUTION NO.
