Staff Recommendation: Approve recommended uses of remaining proceeds from 2006 Tax Allocation bonds or discuss and provide direction to staff on the use of remaining tax allocation bond funds. (Troy Brown) Item: 9.A. Item: 9.A. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Troy Brown, City Manager DATE : 02/05/2020 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Use of Remaining Proceeds in the Amount of $2,023,324 from Tax Allocation Bonds Issued in 2006 and Authorize Staff to Allocate Funding to Projects that Benefit the Former Redevelopment Agency Project Area BACKGROUND On March 28, 2017, the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (the “Successor Agency”) entered into a Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement with the City of Moorpark (“City”) for the purpose of transferring and using the remaining proceeds of 2006 Tax Allocation Bond (“Bond”), as was sold, on the projects of benefit to the Project Area that are consistent with the bond covenants. Subject to the provisions and execution of this Agreement and through the filing of fiscal year (FY) 2017/18 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”), the Successor Agency requested $4,500,000 of the proceeds be transmitted to the City, and although this petition along with ROPS was ratified at the Oversight Board, Department of Finance (“DOF”), however, partially approved $1,938,073 as the available unencumbered balance for the transfer. Since then, this amount has been accruing interest and the available balance now is $2,023,324. The City intends to use these remaining proceeds in a manner consistent with the covenants in the Indenture, and allocate it in the Project Area as previously identified in the said Agreement. DISCUSSION Pursuant to Section 34191.4 of the Health and Safety Code, after the former Successor Agency’s receipt of a Finding of Completion issued by DOF, any unspent proceeds of the 1 Honorable City Council 2/5/2020 Regular Meeting Page 2 Bond shall be used for the purposes for which the Bond was sold, in a manner consistent with the bond covenants. The 2006 bond issuance provided flexibility in the use of bond proceeds but required that the funds be expended in the former project area. The Official Statement outlines allowable uses of bond proceeds and states: “While the Agency does have flexibility related to the expenditure of its bond proceeds, it is expected that the 2006 Bond proceeds will be expended on public improvements in the Project Area. The Agency currently anticipates using proceeds of the 2006 Bonds primarily for the construction of a planned Human Services Center on land owned by the City in the Project Area, which upon completion is expected to be leased to public entities and/or to charitable organizations qualified as exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").” The Official Statement goes further to state: “Notwithstanding the anticipated Section 501(c)(3) related uses of proceeds of the 2006 Bonds, the Agency may elect to use proceeds of the 2006 Bonds for other projects unrelated to such charitable organization uses, including, but not limited to: parks, streets, alleys, landscaping, street lights, drainage, undergrounding of utility lines, public parking lots, a library facility, land acquisition, relocation assistance, or clean up of sites adversely impacted by hazardous materials.” (emphasis added). Proceeds of the 2006 bond were primarily used to construct the Ruben Castro Services Center. The project was completed in 2013 at a total cost of $12.6 million. Additionally, in 2015, $729,129 of the proceeds was also used to partially fund the installation of a neighborhood park, known as Walnut Acres Park, at 161 Second Street. Upon completion and approval of FY 2017/18 ROPS, $1.9 million of the remaining proceeds was transferred from Successor Agency to the City. This amount is now available for use in the former agency’s project area. On January 18, 2017, the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency approved a Funding Agreement to provide for the transfer of remaining bond proceeds for projects. The Funding Agreement for the bonds identified broad uses for proceeds and provides the following Description of Projects which are eligible uses per the bond covenants and Official Statement: 1. High Street Streetscape Project 2. Los Angeles Widening Project 3. Princeton Avenue Widening Project 4. Any other programs, projects and activities of benefit to the Project Area, so long as the program or project is determined by the City to be consistent with the bond covenants under the indenture. See the attached January 18, 2017, staff report identifying these uses. 2 Honorable City Council 2/5/2020 Regular Meeting Page 3 The remaining bond proceeds were neither allocated nor designated for the above uses as other funding sources became available, or delays resulted in programs and projects not moving forward. Therefore, bond proceeds remain available to fund projects that benefit the former RDA project area. Below is a funding summary of the previously identified Description of Projects listed as items 1 – 3: 1. High Street Streetscape Project In 2009 the City completed a plan to improve High Street by installing a number of features that enhance pedestrian mobility and vehicular traffic, and create a sense of place by integrating functional and artistic features on the street. Some of the improvements contemplated are: improved trash receptacles, bus stop cut outs, stamped concrete pedestrian crosswalks, tree grates, kiosks, benches and additional sidewalk improvements. Historical budget documents and preliminary design work surveyed the costs in the amount of $3.5 million to complete all projects identified in the High Street Streetscape Plan. Adjusting that figure for inflation by a factor of 1.6% over 10 years estimates the costs of construction and improvements to be approximately $4.2 million. 2. Los Angeles Avenue Widening Widening of Los Angeles Avenue (State Route 118) from Spring Road to Moorpark Avenue includes street widening and addition of travel lanes, an emergency lane, and curb/gutter and sidewalk along the south side of Los Angeles Avenue from a point east of Spring Road west to Moorpark Avenue. The project will also include construction of a storm drain along the south side of Los Angeles Avenue and installation of a traffic signal at Millard Street. It should be noted that the project is not anticipated to begin construction until all right-of-way has been obtained. Currently, the City does not possess all required right-of-way to construct the project. The total cost to construct the project is estimated at $4.3 million and the project is currently underfunded. The below table shows the funding sources available to construct this project. Los Angeles Avenue Widening – Spring Road to Moorpark Avenue – Project C0021 Funding Sources: Los Angeles Area of Contribution $1,019,688.00 TEA 21 Federal Grants $796,770.00 Total Appropriated – FY 2019/20 $1,816,458.00 The City previously spent $2,472,776 on land purchase and $842,073 on professional service designs related to the right-of-way acquired. Until the project is completely designed and full right-of-way is obtained, the actual costs for the improvements are only an estimate. Bond proceeds are not recommended to be allocated to this project at this time due to the additional right-of-way needing to be purchased. The project is not shovel- ready. 3 Honorable City Council 2/5/2020 Regular Meeting Page 4 3. Princeton Avenue Widening Project The Princeton Avenue Widening project is fully funded using the following sources: Princeton Avenue Widening – Project C0020 Funding Sources: Los Angeles Area of Contribution $5,699,191.00 Federal & State Grants $1,287,244.00 Total Appropriated – FY 2019/20 $6,986,435.00 However, construction costs have likely risen since the original project engineer’s estimate, and the project has not been formally bid. Staff recommends allocating $520,000 of bond proceeds to the Princeton Avenue Widening Project to account for increases in construction costs. This amount represents 7% of the total project estimate. Allocation of Remaining Proceeds The funding agreement gives broad discretion to the City in the use of remaining bond proceeds. The funds must be used on projects that benefit the former redevelopment area, and consistent with uses identified in the Funding Agreement between the City and the Successor Agency, which allow allocations toward “any other programs, projects and activities of benefit to the Project Area, so long as the program or project is determined by the City to be consistent with the bond covenants under the indenture.” To identify programs and projects where funding could be allocated staff analyzed first, programs and projects within the boundaries of the former redevelopment area, second, previously identified priority projects per the City Councils’ Strategies, Goals and Objectives and third, projects listed in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. A number of projects have already been identified as the City typically identifies more projects than funding is available for. The following projects are suitable for forward-funding and are eligible uses for the remaining bond proceeds: High Street Streetscape Project – $1,000,000 Funding has not been identified for any High Street improvements. Staff recommends allocating $1 million in bond proceeds to implement a number of improvements on High Street. The improvements could include: additional sidewalk improvements, stamped concrete crosswalks, benches, improved signage and wayfinding for parking and improved trash receptacles on High Street. The implementation of the High Street Streetscape Plan serves as a vital tool in economic development to incentivize additional investment from the private sector, in addition to making significant progress on Downtown Specific Plan. 4 Honorable City Council 2/5/2020 Regular Meeting Page 5 Millard Drain – $573,000 This project is identified in the Capital Improvement Program and has an approximate cost of $510,000. The project consists of construction of a storm drain to serve the residential area north of the intersection of Los Angeles Avenue and Shasta Avenue, as identified in the City’s Master Plan of Drainage. No funding source has been identified for this project. The 1995 cost estimate for this project was $188,000. However the full scope and cost of this has never been determined. This funding would be used for design of the drainage, and assist with funding construction. Overall project costs will be funded in future fiscal years dependent on final costs obtained through design and available funds for construction. Modify and Upgrade Wall Treatment (Los Angeles Avenue) – $200,000 This project is identified in the City Council Strategies, Goals and Objectives as part of Strategy V – Enhance Quality of Life for Moorpark Residents, Goal 5 – Enhance municipal service delivery through property maintenance and improvement of City facilities and programs. The project entails modifications and upgrading of wall treatment and enhancing landscaping on the north side of Los Angeles Avenue (SR 118) between Millard Avenue and Spring Road. This project is not contemplated in the current two-year planning cycle and funding for the project has not been identified. ADA Improvements – $100,000 The City recently completed an ADA Transition Plan that identifies a number of accessibility projects that need to be completed. The plan estimates a total cost of $23,711,114 to complete all projects citywide. To address projects in the Transition Plan, the City budgets $25,000 per year toward improvements already identified in the Plan. Funds allocated toward ADA improvements in the former redevelopment area would facilitate capital improvements to: bus stops, facilities and parks, streets and curbs, and signalized intersections. The City’s ADA Transition Plan contains a number of projects in each of the aforementioned categories and the use of funds will be allocated to specific projects during the fiscal year 2020/21 budget process. Spring Road/Charles Street Bus Turnout – $150,000 This project is identified in the Capital Improvement Program and has an approximate cost of $150,000. The project consists of construction of a bus turn out on Charles Street at Spring Road. Funding in the project is anticipated to occur in FY 2021/22 and use Traffic Systems Management (TSM) fund. Staff recommends this project to be forward funded using bond proceeds allowing TSM funds to be allocated to other future projects. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact in FY 2019/20 budget. Appropriations to the proposed project will be included in the FY 2020/21 budget development. 5 Honorable City Council 2/5/2020 Regular Meeting Page 6 COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action is consistent with City Council Strategy 3, Goal 2, Objective 3 (3.2.1): “Develop Spending Plan for use of former Moorpark Redevelopment Agency 2006 Tax Allocation Bonds for Presentation to City Council by December 31, 2019.” STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve recommended uses of remaining proceeds from 2006 Tax Allocation bonds or discuss and provide direction to staff on the use of remaining tax allocation bond funds. Attachment: January 18, 2017, Staff Report considering Resolution Approving the City's Execution and Delivery of a Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement to Provide for the Transfer of Remaining Bond Proceeds for Projects 6 ATTACHMENT TO: From: Date: Subject: MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Honorable City Council Ron Ahlers, Finance Director~ ITEM 10.K. January 11, 2017 (City Council Meeting of January 18, 2017) Consider Resolution Approving the City's Execution and Delivery of a Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement to Provide for the Transfer of Remaining Bond Proceeds for Projects BACKGROUND Before dissolution, the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (the "Former Agency") issued the following (collectively, the "Bonds"): (i) its Moorpark Redevelopment Project, 1999 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, in the principal amount of $9,860,000, (ii) its Moorpark Redevelopment Project, 2001 Tax Allocation Bonds, in the principal amount of $11,625,000, and (iii) its Moorpark Redevelopment Project, 2006 Tax Allocation Bonds, in the principal amount of $11,695,000. The Bonds were issued and sold to finance and refinance projects of benefit to the Former Agency's Moorpark Redevelopment Project. There remain in the Successor Agency's accounts unspent proceeds of the Bonds. DISCUSSION Pursuant to Section 34191.4 of the Health and Safety Code, after the Successor Agency's receipt of a finding of completion (the "Finding of Completion") issued by the California State Department of Finance (the "DOF"), the unspent proceeds of the Bonds shall be used for the purposes for which the Bonds were sold, in a manner consistent with the bond covenants. The Successor Agency desires to use the remaining proceeds of the Bonds for the purpose of which the Bonds were sold, namely projects of benefit to the Project Area that are consistent with the bond covenants. Because of the limited staffing of the Successor Agency and the City's traditional role and established procedures for the awarding of public works contracts, it is desirable for the Successor Agency to transfer the remaining unspent bond proceeds to the City, for the City to implement and perform the work required for the projects. Each transfer of bond proceeds to the City must be listed on a Recognized Obligation Payment ("ROPS"). Under current law, the 144 7 Honorable City Council January 18, 2017 Page 2 Successor Agency prepares a ROPS once a year. Each ROPS must be submitted to the Oversight Board and the DOF for approval. While the Successor Agency may choose to transfer the bond proceeds over time based on actual contract needs for each ROPS period, it is preferable for all of the remaining unspent bond proceeds to be transferred to the City at once, to facilitate the effective and efficient implementation of the projects. Pursuant to the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement, the Successor Agency will list the transfer of all of the remaining bond proceeds on the next available ROPS (which covers the 2017-18 fiscal year), and will transfer the bond proceeds to the City per the DOF-approved ROPS. Exhibit A of the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement contains a list of the anticipated projects, but also specifies that the actual projects to be funded may be different from those currently listed, as determined by the City. FISCAL IMPACT Assuming the Oversight Board's and the DOF's approval of the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement and the relevant line item on the next ROPS, the Successor Agency will transfer all of the remaining unspent bond proceeds to the City at the commencement of fiscal year 2017-18. Thereafter, the City will use the bond proceeds for projects in a manner consistent with the bond covenants and the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement, without additional review by the Oversight Board and the DOF. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (Roll call vote) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-approving the City's execution and delivery of the Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement and taking related actions.
