The Commission adopted the appropriate resolutions , setting forth the necessary hearing for the issues and entered into an agreement with Miller and Schroeder Municipals for each of these issues. y On April 20, 1987 (Public Hearing) , Mr. Jeff Kinsell reported to the full Commission that he could not advise the sale of the issues because of a drastic increase in the interest rates. The Commission continued the items at the call of the Chairman. On December 2, 1987, Mr. Jeff Kinsell presented to the full Commission, at a bond workshop, the analysis regarding the potential savings on refunding certain bond issues — principally Central City North and Southeast Industrial Park. At that Time, Mr. Kinsell informed the Commission that the interest rates were still high, but that the Commission should be prepared to act quickly if the interest rates decrease and, thus, make the bond issues feasible. Staff has recently been advised that the market is once again favorable and that we should proceed. Attached are copies of the IF A Staff Reports for the March 30, 1987 and the April 20, 1987 meetings summarizing the issues. 0789A 75-0264 g REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY-REQUEST FOR COMMSION/COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT On March 23, 1987 the Commission and Council adjourned to March 30, 19870 to review financings of the Agency. BACKGROUND Mr. Jeff Kinsell of Miller b Schroeder Municipals and Mr. Tim Sabo of Sabo Deitsch will be present on March 30, 1987 to discuss with you in a workshop setting the following proposed bond issues. Refinancings - Due to the lower interest rates that are now achievable, financial consultant is recommending consideration of refunding our 1982 Central City North (CCN) bonds as well as our 1983 Southeast Industrial Park (SEIP) bonds. It is estimated that we could achieve a 025,000 total debt service savings on CCN and f 1,800,000 on SEIP. New Money Issues - Public Improvements - Recently, public improvement projects have come to light that we feel should be considered at this time. - Southeast Industrial Park - "E" Street Bridge - The Commerce Center area has grown from virtually undeveloped land seven years ago to the fastest growing area of our city. Over the past several years new development in this area has increased by 00 million and has created an estimated 3,600 new jobs. Twenty-six acreas still remain undeveloped. Other than by freeway, the main access to this ever-growing area is along "E" Street. The entry and exit to this area is by way of a 36-foot wide bridge across the Santa Ana River. The continual growth of the area, as well as the "E" Street corridor to the north of the bridge, is such that the existing facility will not service existing needs, let alone potential growth. A need exists for an additional bridge over the Santa Ana River. The Engineering Department is currently soliciting proposals for a traffic/signalization study for this area. It is feared that traffic congestion could become so great that it could discourage continual growth and enjoyment of the area. Our financial consultant recommends that we seek whatever additional money we can from this project area. Our tax increment projections appear to substantiate that we could sell an issue for approximately $3,500,000. Net proceeds could be used to finance the bridge.
