TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

County Administrator Costa
DATE: June 9, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
1987-88 BORROWING PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION-
Authorize the County Administrator, Auditor-Controller and Treasurer-Tax
Collector to pursue borrowing $100 million in taxable notes, for the
1987-88 Borrowing Program, and approve related documents.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The issue is being structured so that it will be at least a break even
situation for the County. In the best case, the County would net several
hundred thousand dollars.
BACKGROUND:
In May, the Board authorized the County Administrator, Auditor-Controller
and Treasurer-Tax Collector to travel to New York to develop the 1987-88
borrowing program and establish a rating for Contra Costa County.
Based upon that visit, it is apparent that it is not feasible for the
County to pursue a tax exempt issue. This is due to significant changes in
the tax lawwhich make it more difficult to. issue viable tax exempt notes.
As an alternative, taxable notes look promising at this time. The laws
governing taxable notes are more flexible and allow a better chance for the
County to meet its cash flow shortages as well as earn interest on funds
borrowed. It appears that $100 million is the most advantageous amount for
the County to borrow.
At this time, specifics about the issue are still being developed. The
Board' s authorization would allow the effort to continue. Before any
formal obligations are made, the subject will be brought back to the Board
for final approval.

the Series B Notes. With respect to each Interest Period
thereafter, the interest rate shall be adjusted, effective
each Rate Adjustment Date with respect to the Series B Notes,
to the Adjusted Rate for the Series B Notes. Such Adjusted
Rate shall be determined as follows: On the Monday next
preceding each Rate Adjustment Date with respect to the
Series B Notes (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
next preceding Business Day) , the Underwriter, having due
regard to prevailing financial market conditions, shall
determine the rate which, if borne by the Series B Notes,
would, in its judgment, be the interest rate, but would not
exceed the interest rate, which would enable the Underwriter
to remarket the Series B Notes on the next succeeding Rate
Adjustment Date with respect to the Series B Notes at the
Purchase Price, and the interest rate so determined shall be
the interest rate for the Interest Period commencing on such
Interest Payment Date; provided that, if on the date of such
determination, the Underwriter holds for its own account 15%
or more in aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes,
the Adjusted Rate so determined shall not be more than 125%
of 100% of the Interest Index, but, in any event, the rate
which would, in its judgment, enable the Underwriter to
remarket the Series B Notes on the next succeeding Rate
Adjustment Date for the Series B Notes at the Purchase
Price. The Underwriter shall disseminate such Adjusted Rate
on the Munifacts Wire on the date it is determined and shall
also give telephonic notice ( subsequently confirmed by
written notice) to the County, the Paying Agent and the
Fiscal Agent of such Adjusted Rate. If the Underwriter for
any reason fails to determine the Adjusted Rate, or if a
court finds the method of determining the Adjusted Rate set
forth above to be unenforceable, the Adjusted Rate for the
Series B Notes shall be 100% of the Interest Index as of each
Rate Adjustment Date.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE ADJUSTED RATE
WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERIES OF NOTES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
LESSER OF 12% OR THE MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

best efforts to offer for sale and to sell each Note or
portion thereof for which telephonic notice of tender has
been given, at the Purchase Price, for delivery on such Rate
Adjustment Date. If on such Rate Adjustment Date the
Underwriter has not been able to arrange for the resale, at
the Purchase Price, of all Notes or portions thereof for
which Noteholder' s Election Notices have been filed with the
Paying Agent, the Underwriter, pursuant to and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Series B Agreement, shall

amount of Notes or portions thereof which have not been

obligation being only that of the Underwriter and then only .
in accordance with the terms of the Series B Agreement.

Replacement of Notes. Any Note may, in accordance with its
terms, be transferred, or exchanged for a like aggregate
principal amount of the same series and in authorized
denominations, upon the books required to be kept by the
Paying Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof, by the person
in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Note for
cancellation, and, in the case of a transfer, accompanied by
delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed
in a form approved by the Paying Agent. Transfer of a Note
shall not be permitted with respect to any Note or Notes or
8

Whenever any Note shall be surrendered for transfer
or exchange or tendered for payment in accordance with .
Section 3 (c) , the County shall execute and the Paying Agent
shall authenticate, if required, and deliver a new Note or
Notes of authorized denominations of the same series for a
like aggregate principal amount. The Paying Agent shall

The Paying Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at
its principal office in New York, New York, sufficient books
for the registration and transfer of the Notes, which shall
at all times be open to inspection by the County. Upon
presentation for such purpose, the Paying Agent shall, under
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or
transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on such
books, Notes as hereinbefore provided.
If any Note shall become mutilated, the County, at
the expense of the Holder of said Note, shall execute, and
the Paying Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver a
new Note of like tenor and number in exchange and
substitution for the Note so mutilated, but only upon
surrender to the Paying Agent of the Note so mutilated.
Every mutilated Note so surrendered to the Paying Agent shall
be cancelled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of,
the County. If any Note shall be lost, destroyed or stolen,
evidence of such loss, destruction. or theft may be submitted
to the County and the Paying Agent and, if such evidence be
satisfactory to both and indemnity satisfactory to them shall
be given, the County, at the expense of the owner, shall
execute, and the Paying Agent shall thereupon authenticate
and deliver a new Note of like tenor and number in lieu of
and in substitution for the Note so lost, destroyed or stolen
(or if any such Note shall have matured or shall be about to
mature, instead of issuing a substitute Note, the Paying
Agent may pay the same without surrender thereof) . The
Paying Agent may require payment of a sum not exceeding the
actual cost of preparing each new Note issued pursuant to
this paragraph and of the expenses which may be incurred by
the County and the Paying Agent in the premises. Any Note
issued under these provisions in lieu of any Note alleged to
be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation on the part of the County
whether or not the Note so alleged to be lost, destroyed or
stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
9
1144S
entitled to the benefits of this Resolution with all other
Notes secured by this Resolution.
The County and the Paying Agent may treat the
person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of
such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the County nor the Paying Agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
All Notes surrendered for payment or registration
of transfer, if surrendered to any person other than the
Paying Agent, shall be delivered to the Paying Agent and
shall be promptly cancelled by it. The County may at any
time deliver to the Paying Agent for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
County may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Notes so delivered shall promptly be cancelled by the Paying
Agent. No Note shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided herein, except
as expressly permitted hereunder. All cancelled Notes held
by the Paying Agent shall be disposed of as directed by the
County.

pay interest on any Series B Note on any Interest Payment
Date occurring prior to the Interest Payment Date on July 27,
1988, all Notes shall become due and payable ten Business

the Notes shall be given by the County which notice shall
specify the date on which all Notes shall mature. Notice of
acceleration of maturity shall be deemed given when deposited
in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid,
addressed to the Paying Agent and to each registered owner at
the address shown on the books of registration maintained by
the Paying Agent for that purpose, or if there is no such
address, in care of the Paying Agent. Any failure to receive
such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
accelerated maturity date of the Notes. The amount payable
by the County on acceleration of the Notes shall be the
principal amount of the Notes, without any premium or
penalty, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
specified in such notice as the date of maturity. The Notes
shall bear interest until paid at the rate of interest in
effect on the date of such default in the payment of
interest. If on the maturity date specified in the notice
the County deposits or causes to be deposited with the Paying
Agent, in immediately available funds, a sum sufficient to
pay the aggregate principal amount of Notes Outstanding and
interest thereon to the date specified in the notice, then
interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue from and after
10

such Notes shall be discharged and thereafter such Notes
shall be payable only from the moneys on deposit therefor
with the Paying Agent.

issued only in fully registered form, without coupons. The
Series A Notes and the Series B Notes shall be substantially

the cash flow of the General Fund during the preceding
six-month period. That calculation shall take into account
the expenditures from and moneys in the General Fund and all
other available funds, including proceeds of the Series A
Notes. If such calculations show that the amount of
available moneys held in such funds was at no time during
such six-month period less than 11% of the proceeds of the
Series A Notes, the County shall promptly notify Bond Counsel
and, to the extent of its power and authority, comply with
the written instructions received from Bond Counsel as to the
means of satisfying the rebate requirements of Section 148 of
the Code.
The County shall also establish and maintain a fund
separate from any other fund established and maintained
hereunder designated as the "1987-1988 Tax and Revenue
Anticipation Notes Rebate Fund" and within such Fund there
shall be established and maintained two separate accounts
designated as the Excess Account and the Earnings Account.
There shall be deposited in each account of the Rebate Fund
such amounts as are required to be deposited therein in
accordance with the written instructions from Bond Counsel
pursuant to this Section.

of the Notes, together with the interest thereon, shall be
payable from taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts and other
11
1144S
moneys which are received by the County for the General Fund
of the County during or attributable to Fiscal Year 1987-1988.
As security for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Notes, the County hereby pledges the first
Thirty Million Dollars ($30, 000, 000) together with an amount
sufficient to pay the interest on the Series A Notes unpaid
after the date of such deposit to maturity of the first
installment of property taxes (to be received by the County
during December 1987, and attributable to the County on the
secured roll which becomes due and payable on November 1,
1987 and delinquent on December 10, 1987) which is
transferred to the general fund of the County in the
Accounting Period ending January 13, 1988; the first Ten
Million Dollars ($10, 000, 000) of unrestricted revenues
received by the County during the Accounting Period ending
March 11, 1988; the first Fifteen Million Dollars
($15, 000, 000) of unrestricted revenues received by the County
during the Accounting Period ending April 12, 1988; and the
first Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45, 000, 000) , together with
an amount sufficient (net of earnings to the date of such
deposit on moneys in the Repayment Fund) ( i ) to satisfy and
make up any deficiency in the amount required to be deposited
in the Repayment Fund during any prior Accounting Period and
(ii ) to pay the interest on the Series B Notes accruing and
unpaid after the date of such deposit to maturity at an
assumed interest rate of the lesser of 12% per annum or the
maximum legal rate of interest (to the extent the actual
interest rate cannot be determined) , of unrestricted revenues
received by the County during the Accounting Period ending on ,
May 11, 1988. The moneys required to be deposited in the
Repayment Fund are hereinafter called the "Pledged
Revenues. " In the event that by the next to last Business
Day of any such Accounting Period there are insufficient
secured property taxes or unrestricted revenues, as the case
may be, so transferred to permit the deposit into the
Repayment Fund of the full amount thereof to be deposited
from said secured property taxes or unrestricted revenues in
such Accounting Period, then the amount of any deficiency
shall be satisfied and made up on such date from any other
moneys of the County lawfully available for the payment of
the principal of the Notes and the interest thereon. In the
event that on such date the amount of other moneys of the
County lawfully available for said payment is insufficient to
fully satisfy and make up any deficiency in the deposit into
the Repayment Fund required hereunder, then such deficiency
shall be satisfied and made up from the first other moneys of
the County lawfully available for said payment when the same
are received by the County. The principal of the Notes and
the interest thereon shall constitute a first lien and charge
against and shall be payable from the first moneys received
by the County from the Pledged Revenues, and, to the extent
12

Fund shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Notes. I.f on the date that is six months from the date of
issuance of the Series A Notes, proceeds of the Series A

the Series A Notes (or such other amount as the County is
advised in writing by Bond Counsel) , the amounts to be
deposited in the Repayment Fund during the Accounting Periods
in which received shall be deposited as soon as received.
Until the principal of the Notes and all interest due thereon
are paid in full or until provision has been made for the
payment in full of the principal of and interest on the
Notes, the moneys in the Repayment Fund shall be applied only
for the purposes for which such Repayment Fund was created.
On each Interest Payment Date after May 4, 1988, the Fiscal
Agent shall transfer to the Paying-Agent the amount necessary
to pay interest on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date if
and to the extent the County has not provided funds to the
Paying Agent for such purpose. On the maturity date of the
Notes the amount of money in the Repayment Fund necessary to
pay principal of and interest due at maturity on the Notes
shall be transferred to the Paying Agent.

agreements) of said Section 53601 . Investments of moneys on
deposit in the Repayment Fund shall not have maturity dates
later than the maturity date of the Notes. The proceeds of
any such investments shall be retained by the Fiscal Agent in
the Repayment Fund until the principal of all of the Notes
and the unpaid interest thereon shall have been fully paid or
until provision shall have been made for such payment, at
which time any excess amount shall be transferred to the
General Fund of the County.

Company of California in Los Angeles, California, is hereby
appointed fiscal agent for the Notes (the "Fiscal Agent" ) .

Trust Administration, 40 Broad Street, 4th Floor, New York,

The Initial Rate shall be the rate of interest per
annum set forth above. On and effective as of February 10,
1988 and on each fourth Wednesday thereafter, the interest
rate may be adjusted (a "Rate Adjustment Date" ) to an
Adjusted Rate. An Adjusted Rate, effective on a Rate

Rate Adjustment Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day,
the next preceding Business Day) , the Bank (as hereinafter
defined) , having due regard to prevailing financial market
conditions, shall determine the rate which, if borne by the
Series B Notes, would, in its judgment, be the interest rate,
but would not exceed the interest rate, which would enable
the Bank to remarket the Series B Notes on the next
succeeding Rate Adjustment Date with respect to the Series B
Notes at the Purchase Price, and the interest rate so
determined shall be the interest rate for the Interest Period
commencing on the next succeeding Wednesday; provided that,
if on the date of such determination, the Bank holds for its
own account 15% or more in aggregate principal amount of the
Series B Notes, the Adjusted Rate for the Series B Notes so
determined shall not be more than 125% of 100% of the
Interest Index, but, in any event, the rate which would, in
its judgment, enable the Underwriter to remarket the Series B
Notes on the next succeeding Rate Adjustment Date at the
Purchase Price. The Underwriter shall disseminate such
Adjusted Rate on the Munifacts Wire on the date it is
determined and also shall give telephonic notice
( subsequently confirmed by written notice) to the County, the
Paying Agent and the Fiscal Agent of such Adjusted Rate. If
Underwriter for any reason fails to determine the Adjusted
Rate, or if a court finds the method of determining the
Adjusted Rate set forth above to be unenforceable, the
Adjusted Rate for the Series B Notes shall be 100% of the
Interest Index as of each Rate Adjustment Date .
B-2

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE ADJUSTED RATE
SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF 12% OR THE MAXIMUM RATE
