SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-166 PW Water System Technical Support Services
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with West Yost to Provide Water System Technical Support Services for Development Review
Funding Source: $250,000; Water Enterprise Fund
Contact: Michael Hether, (707) 428-7493
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Fairfield Municipal Utility (FMU) provides water to the cities of Fairfield and Vacaville on a continuous basis and is responsible for maintaining and upgrading the existing water system.
New development projects may require improvements to the City’s existing water infrastructure, such as system extensions or pipe sizing upgrades, to ensure proper support for the development. FMU seeks staff augmentation to provide dedicated support in reviewing development proposals and evaluating their impact on the City’s existing water system and facilities. Staff recommend the council authorize the city manager to execute a professional services agreement with West Yost.
DISCUSSION
FMU is responsible for the planning, operating, and maintenance of the City’s water system. The system includes two water treatment plants, 12 storage facilities, 17 pump stations, approximately 400 miles of pipelines, and over 33,000 water services. To ensure that the existing water system can meet the demands of the new development, FMU staff must assess the existing water system and determine whether improvements are required to support the proposed development. Currently, FMU has no staff to support the pace of new development and requires staff augmentation to sup port development review. Providing technical support for these
activities requires a comprehensive understanding of the City’s water system, facilities, and operational processes.
Currently, West Yost performs FMU’s citywide hydraulic modeling along with other water system planning and design projects, including:
The City’s Public Utility Master Plan (PUMP).
Updating and maintaining the City’s water infrastructure Geographic Information System (GIS) database.
Ensuring the City’s hydraulic model remains calibrated and updated as the water system expands with new development.
North Bay Regional Water Treatment Plant expansion program.
Given West Yost’s comprehensive knowledge of the City’s water system and involvement in water system projects, including those referenced above, West Yost is the most qualified subject matter expert for this scope of work.
The proposed scope of work includes reviewing conceptual engineering site plans and related studies, providing commentary to address any concerns and uncertainties, and attending meetings with City staff and developers to discuss the City’s conditions and requirements for development, as needed. West Yost understands that the scope of work will be limited to development review as it relates to water system facilities.
The professional service agreement with West Yost for providing on -call water system technical support services for development review will authorize a contract for an amount not -to-exceed $250,000.00. Staff augmentation will allow City staff to better assist planned developments and help ensure development reviews align with PUMP and the City’s long -term water demand projections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The professional service agreement with West Yost for on -call technical support services will authorize a not -to-exceed contract for $250,000. Funding for the agreement will be initially provided from the Water Enterprise Fund (Fund 461) and will be reimbursed by the developer prior to the City’s review of any construction-level engineering drawings.

6800 Koll Center ParkwaySuite 150 Pleasanton CA 94566925.426.2580 phone530.756.5991 fax westyost.com April 25, 2025 SENT VIA: EMAILMichael Hether, PEAssistant Public Works Director - Utilities1000 Webster Street, 3rd FloorCity of FairfieldFairfield, CA 94533SUBJECT: Proposal for On-Call Technical Support for Water System Development ReviewsDear Michael: The purpose of this proposal is to provide the City of Fairfield (City) with a proposed scope of services and billing rates for on-call water system technical support to assist City staff during development reviews and approvals. On-call technical support for water system development reviews are anticipated to begin at the start of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026. West Yost has collaborated with City staff since 2003, working closely with City staff on more than 15 water system planning and design projects. Through the many projects we have completed for the City, West Yost has gained a solid understanding of the City’s water system facilities and operations. Since 2015, West Yost has worked closely with City staff to develop and update its water system GIS and hydraulic model. Earlier this year, West Yost completed the City’s first Public Utility Master Plan (PUMP)1, which developed a prioritized plan for water system improvements to reliably serve existing and future needs.SCOPE OF SERVICESIt is our understanding that the City requires technical support when reviewing and responding to developer studies and plans, as they relate to the City’s water system. Below is a summary of how West Yost may support the City’s development review and approval process: When a development review comes in with concerns and/or uncertainties, the request will besent to West Yost for review.West Yost will review the development request, including any studies, entitlements, plan sets,etc. as requested and provide written and/or verbal comments to address concerns and/oruncertainties.West Yost’s technical review comments will focus on representing the needs of the City’s watersystem and will take into account the City’s water system design and performance standardsadopted in the 2025 PUMP.West Yost and the City will meet regularly (e.g., monthly) at a frequency to be determined basedon the quantity of development review requests that require technical support from West Yost.West Yost will attend meetings with developers or other City staff, as needed, to answer questions and discuss the City’s conditions and requirements for development approval.1West Yost, 2025. Public Utility Master Plan prepared for City of Fairfield. March 2025.
Michael Hether, PEApril 25, 2025Page 2
West Yost will use a different task number for each development request, so the time spent will be tracked by development on monthly invoices. It’s anticipated that over time, as West Yost works with City staff on the development reviews and/or as new staff are hired, the development review will start to taper off, as more of the work is transitioned back to City staff. AssumptionsOnly technical support will be provided to the City; West Yost will not be drafting formal conditionsof approval or performing a full plan check review.The need for West Yost to interface with developers will be limited, with most communicationoccurring with City staff.Technical support will be limited to water system facilities. Other utilities, streets, roads, grading,drainage, etc. will not be reviewed unless specifically requested by the City.DeliverablesWest Yost will provide written and/or verbal comments to address each development review request.Each development review will be tracked under a separate task with monthly invoices submitted.PROJECT BUDGETSince development reviews will be conducted on an as-needed basis with varying levels of effort to be determined by the City, a specific budget was not prepared. Instead, the specific effort and schedule for each development review will be discussed and confirmed with City staff prior to commencement. West Yost will provide technical support on a time-and-expenses basis, at the billing rates set forth in West Yost’s attached 2025 Billing Rate Schedule. Thank you for providing West Yost the opportunity to be of continued service to the City. Please call if you have any questions or require additional information.Sincerely,WEST YOST Whitney Jones, PE Amy Kwong, PESenior Engineer I Engineering Manager IIRCE #93808 RCE #73213cc: Alvin Lei, PEAttachment: A.

CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY. b) If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees. It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.

2 City of Fairfield | West Yost Statement of Qualifications | July 2025 Public Utility Master Plan (PUMP; 2023-2025): West Yost completed the City’s PUMP in March of this year. The PUMP is the City’s first comprehensive water system planning document. It established system design and planning criteria for the City, projected the City’s future demands based on growth at near-term (2030) and long-term (2050) planning horizons, and evaluated the existing and future systems. The PUMP also included condition assessments for City assets, including the Waterman Water Treatment Plant (WTP),
North Bay Regional WTP , various storage reservoirs, and the distribution system. Recommended improvements were
incorporated into a comprehensive capital improvement
program (CIP), which will inform the City’s water rate
structure. The West Yost team also oversaw a hydraulic model update, which was performed concurrently with the PUMP
under a separate on-call contract with the City. Through completing this comprehensive water master plan with an asset management component, the West Yost team has a
complete understanding of the City’s water system and how it operates. Having developed the City’s water system design and planning criteria with City staff, we are well equipped to help the City ensure developers adhere to those standards.
On-Call Water System GIS and Hydraulic Modeling Support Services (2018-ongoing): West Yost has provided on-call GIS and hydraulic modeling support for the City since
the completion of the hydraulic model development and
calibration project. On-call support tasks have included regular potable water system GIS updates, biannual
hydraulic model updates, as-needed fire flow evaluations, and as-needed hydraulic modeling evaluations. Work for
the bi-monthly GIS updates generally include adding new developments, modifying existing water facilities based on recent improvements, and updates to water appurtenances based on field findings from City staff. Providing on-call water system support has deepened West Yost’s understanding of the City’s water system facilities and operations.
General Plan Update Infrastructure Analysis (2021-2024):
In December 2024, the City completed a comprehensive
General Plan Update called Fairfield Forward 2050. As a subconsultant, West Yost provided water, wastewater, and storm drainage infrastructure analysis in support of the General Plan Update. Support was provided over a span
of four years and included an initial study to assess the existing condition of the City’s utilities, a second study to evaluate the impact of various land use alternatives on the City’s water, wastewater, and storm water systems, and a final study evaluating the impact of the preferred land use plan. West Yost also provided peer review on some sections of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan Update. Through this work, our team knows and
understands the City’s proposed General Plan land uses
and policies as they relate to the City’s water system.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
West Yost’s Experience with Recent City of Fairfield Projects West Yost has collaborated with the City of Fairfield since 2003, working closely with City staff on more than 15 water system planning and design projects. Through the many projects we have completed for the City, West Yost has gained a solid understanding of the City’s water system facilities and operations, as well as potential opportunities and challenges for water system improvements. Highlights of our past projects with the City include the following projects:

design and planning criteria, evaluates the existing and future system, and includes condition assessments for
water treatment plants, storage reservoirs, and the
distribution system.
3 City of Fairfield | West Yost Statement of Qualifications | July 2025 Risk and Resiliency Assessment and Emergency Response
Plan (2019-2021): West Yost spearheaded the City’s
response to America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018
(AWIA). The documentation prepared by West Yost included a comprehensive Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA)
and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) which enumerated,
evaluated, and addressed response planning and
procedures associated with a broad variety of threats which may affect the City’s treatment and distribution systems over time. This effort provided West Yost with invaluable insights into the big-picture strengths and risks inherent in the City’s water systems, as well as the partnerships and delineations of roles and responsibilities which govern the management and operation of the City’s assets.
2015 Potable Water Pump Station Asset Management
Plan and 2022 Update (2014-2015 and 2023): West Yost
performed the 2015 condition assessment and asset
inventory of the City’s potable water pump stations and developed a customized asset management database. West
Yost also analyzed the risk of asset failure at each pump station, identified and prioritized near-term repairs and maintenance modifications, and developed a long-term
rehabilitation and replacement plan. West Yost updated
the plan in 2023, and it was included in the City’s PUMP .
Developing this plan has fostered an understanding of the needs and opportunities associated with the City’s pump stations, as well as the operational priorities of City staff.

4 City of Fairfield | West Yost Statement of Qualifications | July 2025 Hydraulic Model Development and Calibration
(2017-2018): West Yost developed a water system hydraulic model and performed static and dynamic verification. In coordination with City staff, West Yost conducted hydrant tests to confirm the roughness coefficients (C-factors) of pipelines throughout the City’s water system. West
Yost calibrated the hydraulic model to match observed
field conditions. Following model calibration, West Yost performed a dynamic verification for summer and winter
conditions, which consisted of developing extended period simulations that generally mimic observed trends over a 24- hour period. The City’s water system hydraulic model will continue to be an important tool for the City as it assesses future development proposals.
Potable Water System GIS Update (2015-2016): West Yost
updated the City’s potable water system facilities in GIS to a standardized format using the ESRI Water Utility Network format and customized it to fit the City’s needs. West Yost validated the new GIS structure using topology tools to facilitate the conversion to a hydraulic model. West Yost’s understanding of hydraulic model development helped
guide the GIS updates to ultimately develop and calibrate a successful hydraulic model.

As part of the Potable Water System GIS Update,
West Yost developed a GIS mapbook that shows the
location of water utilities throughout the City.
West Yost worked closely with City of Fairfield staff to conduct hydrant testing as part of the City’s Hydraulic Model Update Project. The testing results helped our team update the City’s water system hydraulic model, which is used to evaluate and improve water service to residents.
Agenda Item No: K.4
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: August 19, 2025
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025 -167 PW Construction Contract for the HSIPSL -5132(060) Kentucky Street & Broadway Street Striping Improvement Project (CPW070095)
Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to Chrisp Company for the HSIPSL-5132(060) Kentucky Street & Broadway Street Striping Improvement Project Funding Source: $350,000 ($249,600 State Highway Safety Improvement Grant; $100,400 State Gas Tax)
Contact: Phil Layoso, (707) 428-7505
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield secured a State Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant (HSIPSL) to install striping improvements on Kentucky Street and Broadway Street. This resolution approves the plans and specifications for the HSIPSL-5132(060) Kentucky Street & Broadway Street Striping Improvement Project (Project) and awards a contract in the amount of $299,649.50 to Chrisp Company (Chrisp) of Woodland, California.
DISCUSSION
On May 2, 2017, the City Council approved the Heart of Fairfield Plan (Plan) through Resolution No. 2017-95. The Project, identified as a priority safety improvement in the Plan, addresses the lack of bicycle facilities along Broadway Street and Kentucky Street in the downtown area. These corridors provide key connections to the City’s Civic Center and Fairfield-Suisun Amtrak Station, emphasizing the need for safe bicycle access. An in-field inspection was conducted to evaluate roadway conditions and verify the need for improvements. To enhance safety and connectivity, the Project includes the installation of Class II bike lanes – painted lanes on the road designated for bicycles, green thermoplastic markings in areas where bikes and cars cross paths to increase visibility, and updated traffic signage.
Bids for the Project were opened on July 15, 2025, with the engineer’s estimate at $305,000,00.
Three contractors submitted bids that ranged in price from $299,649.50 and $524,727.05. The apparent lowest bidder was submitted by Chrisp for $299,649.50. Staff have reviewed the bid submitted by Chrisp and have deemed the bid responsible and responsive. There is a significant gap between the lowest bid and the other two bids, which were submitted by general contractors who are subcontracting the striping work—essentially adding a premium to cover the cost of managing the subcontractor.
Following the City's successful acquisition of the HSIPSL grant, the Public Works Department received concerns from downtown residents regarding speeding and increased traffic diverting from Texas Street to Missouri Street. A traffic assessment determined that a four way stop at the intersection is not warranted; however, traffic calming measures are need ed. To address th ese concerns, the department proposes installing channelizers at the intersection to guide traffic and help reduce speeding. As the work can be completed by Chrisp and is estimated to cost under $20,000, staff will proceed with executing a contractor services agreement with Chrisp.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Project (CPW070095) has a total budget of $350,000. The construction authorization for this Project will be $329,610.50, which is the total bid amount plus a 10% contingency ($299,645.50 total base bid + $29,965 contingency). This Project will be funded with $249,600 from the HSIPSL (Federal Grant) and $100,400 from the State Gas Tax Fund (Fund 162). The additional work to install the channelizers at the intersection is estimated to cost less than $20,000 and will be covered by the remaining funds allocated to the Project. Finance has confirmed that this additional work will not impact the overall Project budget.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
A notice inviting bids for this project was advertised twice in the Daily Republic newspaper on June 15, 2025, and June 22, 2025. Additionally, a notice of the Project , a complete bid package, or both were distributed to 12 builder’s exchanges throughout the State of California, covering the regions of Redding , San Jose, Stockton and Santa Rosa. One contractor purchased bid documents for this Project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to award the contract, reject all bids and restart the bid process, which would result in a significant delay in the construction Project schedule. Staff does not recommend this as it would cause delays in the Project schedule as required by the grant and the City may potentially lose grant funding. Construction must be allocated by March 31, 2026.

Approving an Increase Contract Amount for Eide Bailly Professional Services Agreement and Authorizing an Update to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget
Funding Source: $260,000; Intragovernmental Services Fund
Contact: John Furtado, (707) 428-7629
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield requires additional services from Eide Bailly for tax consulting and assistance in filing Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits currently estimated to be between $2.5 million to $3.2 million. The current contract amount is insufficient to cover the expanded scope of work, necessitating an increase in the contract amount to not exceed $260,000.
DISCUSSION
The City of Fairfield entered into a Professional Services Agreem ent with Eide Bailly on July 11, 2025, to provide tax consulting services related to the filing of IRA tax credits. The scope of services includes advising on tax code, regulations and current guidance, discussing qualifying criteria with architects, engin eers, and contractors, reviewing expenditure request forms and invoices, and assisting with IRS pre-registration filing requirements. The original contract amount was set at $100,000. However, due to the expanded scope of work and additional services required, it is necessary to increase the contract amount to not exceed $260,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amended contract amount of $260,000 will be funded through the Intragovernmental Services Fund. Any credits received will offset this cost. The $260,000 was not originally budgeted and requires a budget adjustment to the Intragovernmental Services Fund (55120100).
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to approve the increase in the contract amount. However, this may result in the City not fully benefiting from the available tax credits, potentia lly leading to higher costs for the City.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The current Downtown Theatre management agreement is set to expire on August 31, 2025. The operator has requested a minor amendment to extend the agreement through February 28, 2026, to fulfill existing performance commitments. Council approval is r equired to amend the agreement.
DISCUSSION
City Council previously directed staff to initiate a Request for Qualifications ( RFQ)/Request for Proposals ( RFP) process for theatre management services, as the current agreement expires August 31, 2025.
On Ju ne 24, the current operator requested a minor amendment to extend their agreement through February 28, 2026, allowing them to fulfill scheduled performances through the end of the 2025 theatre season.
Given their longstanding service, prior commitments, and the pending outcome of the RFQ/RFP, staff find the request reasonable. If a new operator is selected, the extension also allows time for a smooth transition.
Formal Council action is required to approve the amendment by resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated total cost for extending the contract is $58,500 which includes an additional quarterly payment of $30,000 for programming through December 2025 and an additional $28,500 with supporting utilities and minor repairs September 2025 through February 2026.

Amending Section 12B.4 of Chapter 12B, Parks and Recreation, Subsection H of the Fairfield City Code, to Remove the Prohibition of use of Electric Bikes in Rockville Hills Regional Park, and Allow the Use of Class 1 Electric Bikes in Rockville Hills Regional Park
Funding Source: N/A
Contact: Gary Sponsler, (707) 428-1416
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing; waive full reading, read by title only and introduce ordinance for first reading.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
On November 20, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007 -319 establishing the Rockville Hills Regional Park Citizen Advisory Committee (RCAC) and Guidelines . The RCAC’s purpose is to assist the City in making major decisions that affect the Rockville Hills Regional Park (Park).
On March 3, 2020, staff introduced Ordinance No. 2020 -04, amending the Fairfield City Code, Chapter 12B, Parks and Recreation, Section 12B.4, Traffic and Parking Regulations, by adding Subsection h, prohibiting the use of all electric bicycles (E-Bikes) at the Park. On March 24, 2020, the council adopted the ordinance amendment.
In early 2023, the council requested that the RCAC provide a recommendation regarding the use of E-Bikes in the Park. At the council meeting held on May 20, 2025, RCAC proposed updating Ordinance 2020-04 to allow the use of E-Bikes in the Park, and the council approved updating the ordinance.
DISCUSSION
Currently, chapter 12B of the Fairfield City Code prohibits the use of electric bicycles within City parks. As defined by the California Vehicle Code, E-Bikes are categorized into three classes:
Class 1: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 miles per hour (mph) Class 2: Operates either via pedal-assist or throttle and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches 20 mph
Class 3: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 28 mph
The proposed ordinance amendment would revise Subsection ( h) of Section 12B.4, which addresses traffic and parking regulations in City parks and open space areas. The amendment would permit the use of Class 1 E-Bikes only in the Park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinance has no fiscal impact on the City. Pending the council’s approval, enforcement at the Park will be carried out by existing staff. The cost for additional signage is accounted for in the Community Facilities District 2004 fund.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
The RCAC delivered its final presentation , recommendation and addressed questions from the council during the meeting held on May 20, 2025. Following the presentation, the council approved moving forward with an ordinance amendment to allow Class 1 E-bike in the Park.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose to do any of the following : either approve the proposed ordinance amendment, as recommended; or deny the proposed amendment. Rejecting the proposed amendment would maintain the current regulations, and all e-bikes would be prohibited at the Park.

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025 -170 FN Approval of T ax-Exempt Lease Purchase Financing Agreement
Approval of an Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement and an Escrow and Account Control Agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corp to Finance Energy Efficiency Improvements, and Declaration of Intention to Reimburse Expenses
Funding Source: $21,309,756; Various Funds
Contact: John Furtado, (707) 428-7629
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield has undertaken a comprehensive energy efficiency initiative in partnership with Willdan Energy Solutions. The project includes solar installations, lighting retrofits, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning ( HVAC) upgrades, and other conservation measures across multiple City facilities. The total cost of the contract with Willdan is expected to be $29,998,064.
The City expects to fund $8.6M of the costs with available City funds and to finance the remainder of the improvements.
The City issued a Request for Proposals for financing, and, following a competitive evaluation process, Banc of America Public Capital Corp (BAPCC) was selected based on its favorable interest rate, flexible terms, and experience with public sector energy projects.
The City would like to use certain of the proceeds from the Lease to reimburse expenditures made prior to the execution of the Lease.
DISCUSSION
For flexibility, the resolution provides for a maximum financing amount of $23M and a maximum interest rate of 4.1%. However, staff expects the following financing details:
Principal Amount: $21,309,756
Interest Rate: 4.015% (tax-exempt, fixed)
Term: 15 years
Repayment: Semiannual payments
Structure: Annual Appropriations Lease with no prepayment penalty
The financing will be used to implement energy -related improvements at City facilities, consistent with California Government Code Sections 4217.10 to 4217.18.
Alternatives such as a 20 -year payment term and annual payments were considered but would have resulted in higher interest rates which would have resulted in additional interest costs of up to $3.4M.
No closing costs or escrow agent fees are anticipated. The City’s contribution of approximately $8.6M will be funded from various internal sources, including Construction License Tax, Bedroom Tax, and Civic Center Improvement funds.
Good Faith Estimates:
PFM Financial Advisors LLC has provided good faith estimates on the cost of the Lease, as required by California Government Code Section 5852.1. All amounts and percentages are estimates and are made in good faith based on current information available.
1. True Interest Cost of the Lease: 4.006516%.
2. Finance charge of the Lease, being the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties in the amount of $40,000.
3. Amount of proceeds of the Lease expected to be received by the City, net of proceeds for Costs of Issuance in (2) above and net of capitalized interest (if any) and reserves (if any) paid or funded with the proceeds of the Lease: $21,309,756.
4. Total payment amount for the Lease, being the sum of (a) debt service to be paid to final maturity, plus (b) any financing costs not paid from proceeds of the Lease: $28,930,091.18.
Federal Tax Law. It is not uncommon for public agencies to expend money on the initial capital costs of a project (most frequently, design and engineering costs) prior to obtaining financing for the project, and to reimburse itself for those initial costs with financing proceeds.
However, the Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations limiting public agencies’ ability to reimburse themselves with proceed s of tax -exempt financing; among other things, the regulations require the public agency to declare its intent to reimburse itself.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Lease will require repayments from the General Fund, Golf Funds, and Transit Funds. The details are included in the funding summary. Repayments will be offset from energy savings and designated capital improvement funds.
Description Fund Financing Allocation
General Fund 101 $16,431,116
Rancho Solano Club 471 $1,772,811
Paradise Valley Club 472 $82,685
Transportation Center 451/452 $3,023,144 Total $21,309,756
Willdan has estimated energy savings assuming a 5% escalation factor of $42.6M over 30 years with an additional operating and maintenance savings of $2.9M. It is anticipated that the long - term savings will be more than sufficient to fund the repayment of the financing requirements.
The reimbursement resolution does not have any immediate fiscal impacts. The resolution preserves the City’s flexibility to reimburse itself for capital expenditures if the council determines such reimbursement is in the City’s best interest.
