FISCAL IMPACT
The bonds to be issued will be secured by a pledge of redevelopment
tax increments from the Pleasant Hill BART Station, North Richmond,
West Pittsburg, and Oakley Redevelopment Project Areas. No General
Funds are pledged to secure bonds. Sufficient annual tax increment
to cover administrative costs of the Agency has been reserved.
The Agency anticipates taking advantage of the lowest rates in the
credit markets in approximately 20 years. Combining the four
redevelopment project areas into one issuance of bonds through the
Public Financing Authority will result in a more efficient
financing.
BACKGROUNDJREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Prior Actions
On April 7, 1992 the Board of Supervisors and the
Redevelopment Agency approved the formation of the County of
Contra Costa Public Financing Authority for the purpose of
issuing bonds for four of the Redevelopment Agency's project
areas - Pleasant Hill BART, North Richmond, West Pittsburg and
Oakley.
B. Sources and Uses of Funds
Based on available and expected tax increment, the Authority
would expect to issue approximately $30 million in bonds. The
total amount of funds available for program purposes would be
over $26, 500, 000 as follows:
Project Area Program Proceeds
Pleasant Hill BART $20,500, 000
North Richmond 1, 000, 000
West Pittsburg 2, 300, 000
Oakley 2,700, 000
Anticipated uses of bond proceeds include infrastructure
improvements, housing, and economic development. The following is
a general description of use of proceeds (precise use will be
determined in the Agency's budget setting process) :
Pleasant Hill BART
Refinance Existing Notes $ 7, 500 000
Bancroft Extension 10, 000, 000
Other Infrastructure 3 , 000, 000
Total $20,500,000
North Richmond
Brookside Drive $ 700, 000
Repayment of County Debt 100, 000
Housing 200, 000
Total $ 1,000,000
West Pittsburg
Willow Pass Road Reconstruction $ 750, 000
Other Infrastructure 550, 000
Economic Development 500, 000
Housing 500, 000
Total $ 2,300,000
Oakley
Highway 4 Improvements $ 480, 000
Other Infrastructure* 1, 120, 000
Economic Development 500, 000
Housing _ 600, 000
Total $ 2,700,000
*Could include additional Highway 4 improvements, drainage
projects, localized improvements, including downtown park
improvements, library improvements.
C. Escrow Bond Feature - Pleasant Hill BART
A portion of the Pleasant Hill BART proceeds - $7.2 million -
will be escrowed for approximately two years. Funds will be
available for use when the. Agency has sufficient tax
increments to debt service the bonds. The Agency expects to
have sufficient tax increments once the Park Regency project
is fully built and reflected in its tax increments. The
project is under construction and expected to be fully built
out by the end of this year. Additional smaller
projects/tenant improvements are also expected to increase the
Agency's tax increment revenues.
D. Oakley Municipal Advisory Committee Recommendation
On May 4, 1992, the Oakley Municipal Advisory Committee (GMAC)
voted against a staff recommendation to incur bonded
indebtedness as generally outlined above for the Oakley
Redevelopment Project Area. Previously OMAC members had
expressed four concerns:
1. Inclusion with other County Project Areas;
2 . Funds from Oakley would go to other areas;
3 . Use of funds, and decision-making process involved; and
4 . . Effect on cityhood.
Staff responded to the concerns (Attachment A) . After
discussion, the only remaining issue��, for OMAC was perceived
effect on Oakley incorporation efforts, and a belief that the
new "city" should make these decisions. OMAC voted 3-2-1 to
recommend not proceeding with bonded indebtedness, and to
proceed only on a "Pay-as-you-go" basis.
Staff believes the proposed financing would not impair
incorporation efforts. Should the Oakley community
incorporate, the Redevelopment function can be transferred at
the request of the new city, and the consent of the County.
Furthermore, the proposed financing would obligate less than .
5% of the future Oakley tax increments, leaving 95% of the
funds available for "city" determination, if incorporation
occurs. Staff believes the value of the proposed improvements,
the historically low interest rates, and the ability to
achieve economic efficiencies by combining with other project
areas outweigh the concern regarding "city" control. OMAC was
aware of staff's position on this matter at the time of its
action.

Excerpt form 5j4j32 memo to GMAC
IV. Response to OMAC Concerns
A. Inclusion of Oakley in a Plan of Finance with other County
Redevelopment Project Areas
Why is this proposed? This is proposed for two reasons, both
associated with making the financing more efficient:
1. .Economies of scale in debt issuance
Issuing bonds involves certain fixed costs that would be a
proportionately higher percent of a small transaction than a pooled
and larger transaction. For, example, Table I below presents the
anticipated sources and uses of funds for Oakley in these two
circumstances. As you can see, the net available Project Funds
is larger by almost $60,000 as part of the larger transaction.
TABLE 1
COMPARISON OF STAND-ALONE VS' POOLED BOND ISSUE
Oakley. Oakley
Pooled Stand-Alone .
Amount of Bonds $2,970,000 $2,970,000
Expenses 72,640 160,000
Debt Service Reserve 247,360 247,360
Contingency 1,060 1,060
Capitalized Interest 79.000 79.000
Net Project Funds $2,541,000 $2,482,580
2. Enhanced security by cross collateralizing the Oakley Housing
Fund with West Pittsburg and North Richmond.
6.
The proposed transaction includes cross-collateralization of the
above housing funds. This means that should additional revenues
be necessary to meet debt service (recall that this is unlikely,due
to high Debt Service Coverage ratios) in one project area, housing
funds could be loaned to the one Project Area from one or both of
the others. Because this increases the security of the bonds, the
bond holders will accept a lower interest. Our bankers estimate
that this savings is 25-50 basis points, or 1/4-1/2 of 1% in
interest costs. The beneficial effect for Oakley is that the same
amount of debt service requirement will purchase $150,000-
$300,000 in capital when pooled with the other Project Areas, a
sizable amount.
B. Funds would go to other areas.
Only the Oakley housing revenues could ever be diverted, and then only
on a loan basis. The bond proceeds must be used in Oakley. The
likelihood of.this occurring is small given the Debt Service Coverage
ratios in the other Project Areas, their size, and their economic
diversity.
C. Use of. Proceeds Decision-Making
GMAC its the authorized advisory body for the Redevelopment Agency.
OMAC represents the community interests. Their advice and
recommendations will be heard, although final decision-making authority
does rest with the Board of Supervisors sitting as the Agency.
Of the net proceeds, approximately only 37% are programmed as of the
date of issuance. The remaining 63% of the funds are for discretionary
projects that will be evaluated and prioritized by GMAC. The already
programmed funds reflect prior direction provided by OMAC, i.e., funds
for Highway 4 improvements, and for a first-time homebuyers housing
program
'*Debt Service Coverage ratios in West Pittsburg are estimated to start at 2.3/1 and
climb to 2.6/1; in North Richmond to start at 1 .24/1 and climb to 3.4/1; and in Oakley
to start at 2.57/1 and climb to 3.57/1.
7.
Discretionary projects could include the following:
a,. : Downtown Infrastructure Improvements
b. : library
c.' Park Acquisition/Development
d.. Economic`Development
e = Road'Improvemerits
f. Drainage Improvements
g Other improvements not yet identified, but perhaps
emerging from downtown Specific Plan..
7.
D: Effect on-Cityhood
Should :the City. incorporate;' "and include the entire Redevelopment
Project Area, it,would have.the option to assume the redevelopment
function :;It would assume the.assets (revenues) and "liabilities (debts,
including bonded indebtedness). The existence of bonded indebtedness
does not impair prospects for cityhood.
The proposed financing would obligate only 4% of the maximum tax
increments allowed to be received by the Project Area. Similarly, only
4% of the Oakley Project Area debt cap. would be used. Effectively,
over 95% of the. Oakley Project Area's financing decisions are beyond
the date of this financing.
Whether the City would. be able to be more efficient in using the funds
As- speculative, and limited to the issue of funding design and
construction. engineering (the cost of a facility built to same standards
would not"vary). The view that the City could save money`by paying
less-or contracting for services is offset by certain efficiencies of scale
achievable,through a larger organization such as the County.
V.. Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommending that GMAC concurs with the inclusion of Oakley in the
Redevelopment Agency's Plan of Financefor its 7 992"bonds. GMACwould be
intimately involved in the allocation of most of the bond proceeds.
