RESOLUTION NO. 03-58 PROVIDING FOR THE CARETAKING AND REUSE
OF MCAS, TUSTIN, AND FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT TO THE CITY OF
ADVANCES MADE TO THE TUSTIN LEGACY ENTERPRISE FUND
SUMMARY:
The City of Tustin is responsible for the caretaking and reuse of MCAS, Tustin. The City intends to
fund these expenses from the proceeds of land sales and other reuse activities. The City has
agreed to advance funds from available, non-restricted governmental funds and will continue to do
so until the advances can be repaid from Enterprise revenues.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt City of Tustin Resolution No. 03-58 providing for the caretaking and reuse of
MCAS, Tustin, and for the reimbursement to the City of advances made to the Tustin
Legacy Enterprise Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
DISCUSSION:
It has been the City's intent that the Legacy Reuse project will pay for itself through land sales and
various other financing options, such as the formation of Assessment Districts and a
Redevelopment Project Area. There are many activities relating to the reuse project that must be
accomplished prior to the receipt of revenues and the City has agreed to provide resources to cash
flow the Legacy project until such time as revenues can be used to repay the advances. This
Resolution will confirm the City's intent to provide cash flow to the Enterprise until such time as land
sales and development fees generate sufficient resources to repay the City. The initial advance
from the City is estimated to not exceed $3.5 million for fiscal 2002/03 for caretaking and reuse
expenses, and $6 million to refund the Salomon Smith Barney promissory note. A new Resolution
will be brought to the City Council addressing the estimated amount needed by the project for the
2003/04 year during the budget adoption process.
