PROPOSED RESOLUTION 136-86 AMENDING RESOLUTION OF INTENTION & ELIMINATING CITY FROM OBLIGATION TO PAY DELINQUENT ASSESS- MENTS IF RESERVE FUNDS BECOME DEPLEATED MEMORANDUM TO: City Council THROUGH: Mike Shelton, City Manager FROM: Paul Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: AD #4 (Seperado-Cayucos) - Final Actions Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council adopt Resolutions 134-86, 135-86, and 136-86. Background: December 15 at 5 p.m. was the last time for making a cash payment to avoid a lein on a property to be assessed under AD #4. Over $152, 000 was collected prior to that time, representing 14% of the total project cost. . The adoption of Resolutions 134-86 , 135-86 and 136-86 are the final steps in the long and detailed process of an assessment district using a 1913 Improvement Act Proceedings and 1915 Act Bonds. Resolution No. 134-86 provides for the issuance of bonds in the amount of $1,070,226. 62, sets the size of each bond at $5, 000 increments, sets the maximum rate of interest, authorizes the selling of the bonds, appoints Security Pacific as the paying agent, provides for the collection of assessments, provides for a reserve fund to pay any delinquent assessments, approves the of- ficial statement and approved the bond purchase contract with Mann-Urfer Incorporated, a subcontractor to Security Pacific. Resolution No. 135-86 ammends Resolution 117-86 for the purpose of allowing the Mayor to sign the contracts with Beaver Construction upon securing the bond purchase contract instead of the City Manager signing the contract upon actually obtaining the receipts from the sale of the bonds. This is being done to bring the documents into conformity with the engineering specifi- cations. Resolution No. 136-86 ammends the Resolution of Intention to eliminate the City from any obligation to pay delinquent assess- ments in case the reserve funds becomes depleated. Instead, the City would call in the lein on the property for legal actions against the property. The delinquency rate for all of Atascadero is only about 3%. The 5% reserve fund is over $50 , 000 which re- presents about 100 annual payments out of a total of about 5600 annual payments, or less than 2% of the payments. Considering that unusually high percentage of benefit units, 14%, paid cash up front and that the reserve fund will earn interest over the years, it is unlikely that the reserve fund will become depleat ed. Discussion: The documentation given to Council contains many blanks but was distributed in that form to allow adequate time to digest the complex resolution providing for the issuance of the bonds. The final assessment figures were calculated late on the 15th and telephoned to Security Pacific and Orrick, Herrington and Sut- cliffe. Final bond package information will be forthcoming up until and during the meeting of the 18th at 5:30 pm. The time schedule is so delicate that this is the only way to accomplish the final steps. The engineering agreement will be signed on the 18th and the Notice to Proceed will be issued by carrier to Beaver Excavating on Friday the 19th. Construction will begin the first week in January after the holiday weekend. Fiscal Analysis: The resolutions do not obligate the City to any additional indebtedness. Resolution 136-86 keeps the City from future ob- ligations due to default on assessments. 2
