CITY SUMMARY: The Tustin Public Financing Authority (the "Authority") is proposing to issue and sell two notes in the total amount of Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000). The funds received will be used to accelerate the payments owed to the Santa Ana Unified School District under the May 2002 Settlement Agreement by making one lump sum payment before the end of the year, in full settlement of SAUSD v. City (OCSC No. 01CC02595). RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the following resolutions and approve agreements with Bond Counsel and the City's Financial Advisor: A. A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TUSTIN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY MAKING AN ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEQA") REGARDING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE NOTES. B. A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TUSTIN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE AND S ALE B Y THE AUTHORITY O F 2002 REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES AND AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING CERTAIN ACTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO. C. APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS WITH BOND COUNSEL AND FINANCIAL ADVISOR. FISCAL IMPACT: Within City Budget. The Notes are secured by a pledge of Land Sale Proceeds and a Deed of Trust from the Authority. 161915.1 DISCUSSION: The City, the Authority, and the Santa Ana Unified School District ("SAUSD") entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement in May 2002 (the "Settlement Agreement"). According to the Settlement Agreement, SAUSD was to be paid certain sums strictly out of the proceeds of land sales at MCAS, Tustin. The timing of the payments and total amount owed by Tustin depended upon whether the District accepted or declined the City's offer of 22 acres at MCAS, Tustin. In early October of this year, the District notified the City that it declined to accept the 22 acres. That decision resulted in the District being owed $38 Million by May 31, 2003, and $22 Million by October 8, 2003. The payments due SAUSD under the Settlement Agreement were to be secured by a Letter of Credit or note and deed of trust. The Authority was not able to obtain a letter of credit by the deadline provided by the Settlement Agreement. So, as required by the Settlement Agreement, the City timely provided a Note and Deed of Trust for 97 acres at MCAS, Tustin. The District notified the City that it would not accept the Deed of Trust as security and instead demanded a Letter of Credit. Unbeknownst to the City, the District had been negotiating with a bank for a loan using the anticipated letter of credit from the City as collateral. The District sought a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent the City from zoning or selling land at MCAS, Tustin and taking certain other actions until it received a Letter of Credit. The District also sought to have judgment entered against the City and the Authority claiming that they had not used "best efforts" to obtain a letter of credit. The City and Authority strongly disagree with this allegation. The City and the Authority have continued their efforts to secure a letter of credit or credit mechanism as security for payments to the District. In addition, the City has proceeded to complete preparation of its General Plan, prepare zoning documents, and to negotiate with potential purchasers of property so that sales can occur in advance of the May and October payment dates. Unfortunately, a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") issued by the Court has prevented the very zoning which is critical to timely land sales. Within the last two weeks, the City received an offer from Salomon, Smith, Barney to purchase revenue anticipation notes from the Authority in the total amount of Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000). At the closing, which is anticipated to occur on December 27, 2002, the proceeds would be deposited into an escrow account for payment to SAUSD. The notes are to be secured by the proceeds of land sales at MCAS, Tustin and a deed of trust for property at MCAS, Tustin. Among other things, a term of the offer from Salomon, Smithy Barney is that the case of SAUSD v. City be dismissed prior to closing. Although the Settlement Agreement does not require that settlement payments be made to SAUSD until May 31, 2003 and October 8, 2003, respectively, the proposed deal with Salomon, Smith Barney gives the City an opportunity to accelerate the payments to SAUSD to the end of this year. This allows the City to complete all of its obligations under the Settlement Agreement well in advance of the dates contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, and will end all litigation between the City and SAUSD. The City will then be free to proceed with the development of MCAS, Tustin without continuing litigation with, or the threat of litigation from, SAUSD. The TRO issued by the Court in November prevents the City and Authority from encumbering the property at MCAS, Tustin except for obtaining a letter of credit. The City Attorney's Office is working With counsel for the School District to obtain court approval for the deal with Salomon, Smith Barney. It is hoped that this approval will be obtained prior to the December 16 City Council meeting. If the School District does not agree, or approval from the judge cannot be obtained prior to the meeting, then the approval of Resolution B will have to be made effective upon the modification of the TRO to allow the deal Salomon, Smith Barney to proceed.
