FISCAL IMPACT: $6,790,000 from saJe of Certificates of Participation. BACKGROUND: On April 5, 1993, the city issued $11,500,000 in Water System Revenue Certificates of Participation (COP). The funds will be used to refund outstanding bonds, reimburse Orange County Water District for construction of the Main Street Nitrate Removal Plant, and fund distribution and storage system improvements. DISCUSSION: The Water Rate Study and Financing Plan completed in July 1992, recommended that improvements to the water system be fumed by three separate debt issuances in 1993, 1995, and 1997. On September 21, 1992, the City Council adopted a three-staged rate increase which is intended to support the first two debt issuances. The major distribution and storage projects to be funded from the current issue are purchase of property and repair of retaining wall at Rawlings Reservoir, replacement of 7,000 feet of 16-inch riveted steel pipe in Newport Avenue (originally installed circa 1907), and design and commencement of construction of a new 2.2 million gallon reservoir at 235 E. Main Street. Additionally, numerous deteriorating and/or undersized steel water mains will be replaced. Distribution system projects are segregated into three consultant design groups (A through C) and five construction contract groups (1 through 5). The current COP issue yielded $6,940,000 for construction and projects listed are estimated to cost $6,790,000 with $150,000 available for contingencies. As construction contracts are awarded, and a more precise projection of actual costs can be made, any project savings will be dedicated to design of Project Group D.
