STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE° ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A BOND EXPENDITURE AGREEMENT
WITH THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, THE LA QUINTA HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND THE
SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO FACILITATE THE
EXPENDITURE OF EXCESS BOND PROCEEDS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a Bond Expenditure Agreement by and between the City of
La Quinta, the La Quinta Housing Authority, and the Successor Agency to the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Successor Agency to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency)
received its finding of completion from the California Department of Finance (DOF)
on November 6, 2013.
• The Dissolution Act allows a Successor Agency that has received a finding of
completion to enter into agreements with City or Housing Authority as appropriate
to expend excess bond proceeds in a manner consistent with the original bond
covenants.
• The Oversight Board is required to approve the expenditure agreement prior to
submitting to DOF for final approval.
• The expenditure agreement will be included as an enforceable obligation on
Recognized Obligation Payments Schedule (ROPS) 2017/18 and will enable the
Successor Agency to proceed with its submittal of a last and final ROP's.
FISCAL IMPACT
This agreement will facilitate the expenditure of bond proceeds for their originally
intended purpose.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Successor Agency received its finding of completion from DOF on November 6, 2013.
In September of 2015, Senate Bill 107 was enacted that allows for the expenditure of
100% of 2011 Housing Bond Proceeds and a portion of the 2011 Non -Housing Bond
Proceeds. The Dissolution Act allows Successor Agencies that received a finding of
completion to enter into bond proceeds agreements to expend excess proceeds in a
manner consistent with the original bond covenants.
Housing Bond Proceeds totaling $27,761,073 would be transferred to the Housing
Authority as follows:
• Project Areas No. 1 and 2 Refunding Bonds, 2014 Series A (used for refinancing
2004 Tax Allocation Housing Bonds) in the approximate amount of $2,200,000
• La Quinta Financing Authority Local Agency Subordinate Taxable Revenue Bonds,
2011 Series A (2011 Housing Bonds) in the amount of $25,561,073.
Non -Housing Bond Proceeds totaling $6,696,805 would be transferred to the City as
follows:
• Project Areas No. 1 and 2 Refunding Bonds, 2013 Series A (used for refinancing
2002 Tax Allocation Bonds) in the amount of $6,575,791.87
• La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Project Area No. 2 Subordinate Taxable Tax
Allocation Bonds, Series 2011 (2011 Non -Housing Bonds). Currently 5% of the
$2,420,268.52 in proceeds or $121,014.33 may be expended. This percentage
could increase by $500,000 after DOF reviews and approves the Successor
Agency's Last and Final ROPS.
The Housing Authority and City respectively have the responsibility to spend the proceeds
consistent with the bond covenants and on projects identified within a bond spending
plan. Currently the Washington Street Apartments Projects is identified as a housing
project and the construction of Silverrock Way is a non -housing project. Both the City and
Housing Authority can amend their respective spending plan as deemed necessary and at
their sole discretion provided the expenditures remain consistent with the applicable
bond covenants.
Approving this agreement will facilitate the expenditure of excess bond proceeds for their
originally intended purpose and enable a submittal of a Last and Final ROP's to the
Department of Finance.
ALTERNATIVES
The recommended action will allow the City and Housing Authority to expend bond
proceeds in accordance with bond covenants and the redevelopment dissolution law.
Both the City and Housing Authority have commitments to invest these funds in various
projects that improve the community. Staff does not have an alternative.

Attachment 1
BOND EXPENDITURE AGREEMENT
(La Quinta Housing & Non -Housing Tax Allocation Bonds)
This Bond Expenditure Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into and effective
, 2016, by and between the City of La Quinta, a California municipal
corporation (the "City"), the La Quinta Housing Authority, in its capacity as the housing
successor pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34176(a)(3) ("Housing Authority"), and
the Successor Agency to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency, a public agency, corporate and
politic, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34173 ("Successor Agency").
Recitals:
A. The Successor Agency received its Finding of Completion under Health and
Safety Code Section 34179.7 from the California Department of Finance on November 6, 2013.
B. Health and Safety Code Section 34191.4(c) allows a successor agency that has
received a finding of completion to use bond proceeds from "non -housing" bonds issued prior to
2011, and a prescribed percentage of non -housing bond proceeds for bonds issued between
January 1, 2011 and June 28, 2011, for purposes for which the bonds were sold, provided that
such proceeds in excess of amounts needed to satisfy approved enforceable obligations shall be
expended in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants, and further provides that such
expenditures shall constitute "excess bond proceeds obligations" that shall be listed separately on
the successor agency's Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS").
C. Health and Safety Code section 34176(g) allows a housing successor to use 100%
excess bond proceeds secured by the former La Quinta Redevelopment Agency's Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund ("LMIHF"), as long as the "housing" bonds were issued prior to
June 28, 2011.
D. The Successor Agency will have so-called "excess bond proceeds," i.e., tax
allocation bond proceeds, from both "non -housing" and "housing" bonds, that are not otherwise
obligated for a project or other enforceable obligation. The Successor Agency wishes to use
such proceeds for redevelopment and affordable housing purposes consistent with applicable
bond covenants.
E. The California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code
Section 33000, et seq.) provides for a cooperative relationship between cities and their
redevelopment agencies, as well as their successor agencies who have assumed the duties and
obligations of the former redevelopment agencies. Under Health and Safety Code
Section 33220, a city may aid and cooperate in the planning, undertaking, construction, or
operation of redevelopment projects. Health and Safety Code Section 33220(e) specifically
authorizes a city to enter into an agreement with its redevelopment agency or any other public
entity to further redevelopment purposes. Health and Safety Code Section 34176(g)(1)(A) [for
698/099999-6000
9804274.2 a06/29/16
housing bond proceeds] and Sections 34191.4(c)(1)(A) and 34191.4(c)(2) [for non -housing bond
proceeds] allow a housing successor, successor agency, and sponsoring city to enter into
agreements with the approval of the oversight board.
F. The Successor Agency desires to provide "non -housing" excess bond proceeds to
the City to enable the City to use such funds in a manner consistent with the original "non -
housing" bonds' covenants, and the Successor Agency desires to provide "housing" excess bond
proceeds to the Housing Authority (if not already provided) to enable the Housing Authority to
use such funds in a manner consistent with the original housing bonds' covenants. The non -
housing and housing bonds' covenants are summarized in the Official Statements for the
"Bonds," identified below in this Agreement, and the Official Statements and all bond
documents governing the authorized spending of the "Bond Proceeds," as defined below in this
Agreement, are incorporated by reference and generally referred to as the "Bond Spending Plan."
The Bond Spending Plan is intended to advance the City's community development goals and
Housing Authority's affordable housing goals, while maximizing fiscal and social benefits
flowing to the taxing entities from successful development. The La Quinta Successor Agency's
Oversight Board ("Oversight Board") has determined that the expenditure of excess bond
proceeds in accordance with this Agreement will benefit the affected taxing entities, and has
approved the execution of this Agreement and the provision of excess bond proceeds to the City
and Housing Authority for the purposes described herein.
G. In order to facilitate the use of excess bond proceeds consistent with the bond
covenants, the Successor Agency, City, and Housing Authority have negotiated this Agreement
requiring the transfer of current and future excess bond proceeds by the Successor Agency to the
City and Housing Authority, respectively, and the use of such excess bond proceeds consistent
with applicable bond covenants. The parties intend that this Agreement shall constitute an
excess bond proceeds obligation within the meaning of Health and Safety Code
Sections 34176(g)(1)(A) and 34191.4(c) to be paid from excess bond proceeds. With Oversight
Board approval, the Successor Agency has listed or will list this Agreement, and the requirement
to transfer excess bond proceeds herein, on its Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
("ROPS") as an obligation to be funded with excess bond proceeds.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do mutually agree as follows:

issued June 14, 2011. If the percentage of allowable expenditure from the Remaining Bond
Proceeds of the 2011 Non -Housing Bonds increases after the date of this Agreement, then any
Remaining Bond Proceeds from the 2011 Non -Housing Bonds that may be expended under an
amendment to the Dissolution Law shall be deemed Non -Housing Excess Bond Proceeds and
will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement without need for further
amendment of this Agreement.

City of La Quinta
OVERSIGHT BOARD MEETING: July 5, 2016
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLES ADOPT A RESOLUTION FOR ISSUANCE AND SALE OF SUBORDINATE TAX
ALLOCATION REFUNDING BONDS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the issuance of Subordinate Tax Allocation Refunding
Bonds by the Successor Agency to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency in the
approximate amount of $35,280,000, 2016 Series A Bonds, and authorizing certain
actions in connection therewith.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• In 2011, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency issued $6,000,000 of Tax Allocation
Bonds of which $5,850,000 are currently outstanding and the La Quinta Financing
Authority issued $28,850,000 Taxable Revenue Bonds of which $27,225,000 are
currently outstanding (together the "2011 Bonds").
• Current bond interest rates are at historically low levels and refinancing the 2011
Bonds will reduce annual bond payments, allowing additional property tax revenue
distribution to the City and taxing agencies.
• The Successor Agency has approximately $2.3 million of unspent 2011 Bond
proceeds on deposit with the Trustee, which will be used to pay down the principal
amount of the 2016 Bonds.
• The 2011 Bonds are not subject to optional call and redemption until September 1,
2020 so the bond proceeds would be deposited in an escrow fund held by an
escrow bank, and used to pay regularly scheduled principal and interest payments
on the 2011 Bonds until September 1, 2020 (an advanced refunding).
• Refinancing the 2011 Bonds will require State Department of Finance approval,
which may take up to 60 days.
FISCAL IMPACT
Lower bond interest costs with yield lower annual debt service savings of approximately
$614,000 or $12.82 million over the twenty-three year term of these bonds.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Starting in 1985, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency (RDA) issued tax allocation bonds
to raise capital for infrastructure, public facility, economic development, and affordable
housing investment. Bond debt service payments are funded by property tax revenue.
When the RDA was eliminated in February 2012, the Successor Agency assumed the
responsibility to ensure that bond debt service payments are made. These payments are
classified as enforceable obligations and are tracked on the Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule (ROPS).
The Successor Agency may refinance outstanding bonds and other obligations of the
RDA. The City's financial advisors determined that today's lower bond interest rates
would yield cost savings; all bond refinancing must be first approved by the Oversight
Board and the DOF.
In December 2013, the Successor Agency issued $97,190,000 2013 Series A and
$23,055,000 2013 Taxable Series B refinancing bonds. These bonds refinanced the
former RDA's 1998 PA 1 Bonds, 1998 PA 2 Bonds, 2001 Bonds, 2002 Bonds and 2003
Bonds. The 2013 refunding bond program resulted in annual debt service savings of more
than $555,000 per year with an overall savings of $10,650,000.
In July 2014, the Successor Agency again successfully refinanced $65,600,000 of
additional former RDA bonds resulting in annual debt service savings of more than
$680,000 per year with an overall savings of $13,700,000.
In the current bond market, an opportunity exists to further reduce annual debt service
by refinancing the 2011 Bonds. Interest rates for the 2016 refunding bonds are estimated
at 3% to 5% with yield potentials 0.50% to 4.50%, on a taxable basis. The 2011 Bonds
have interest rates ranging from 5.375% to 8.15% on a taxable basis.
By refinancing bonds, debt service payments will be reduced by $12.8 million over 23
years This would free property tax revenue for distribution to other taxing agencies and
the City, with approximately $8 million to schools districts, $2.8 million to Riverside
County, $922,000 to the Coachella Valley Water District, $634,000 to the City, and
$225,000 to parks and recreation over the 23 year period.
ALTERNATIVE;
As refinancing would result in an annual savings on bond debt service, staff does not
have an alternative.

ATTACHMENT 1
Summary of 2016 Refinancing
Successor Agency to the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency/La Quinta Oversight Board
In December, 2013, the Successor Agency completed the refinancing of its 1998, 2001, 2002 and
2003 Tax Allocation financings issued by the former Redevelopment Agency. Issued in a tax-exempt
and a taxable series, this refinancing program resulted in annual debt service savings in excess of
$555,000 and overall savings of more than $10,650,000 over the remaining life of the refinanced
Bonds. In July, 2014, the Successor Agency completed the refinancing of its 2014 Tax Allocation
financing issue by the Financing Authority. Issued in a tax-exempt series, this refinancing resulted in
annual debt service savings in excess of $680,000 and overall savings of more than $13,700,000 over
the remaining life of the refinanced Bonds. These debt service savings result in excess revenues to
various taxing agencies as well as increased residual revenues to the City.
There is now an opportunity to refinance the Agency's last two financings issued prior to
redevelopment dissolution, for economic savings. The financings consist of $6,000,000 La Quinta
Redevelopment Project Area No. 2, Subordinate Taxable Tax Allocation Bonds, Series 2011 of which
$5,850,000 are currently outstanding and $28,850,000 Local Agency Subordinate Taxable Revenue
Bonds, 2011 Series A of which $27,225,000 are currently outstanding. These Bonds were issued just
prior to dissolution in June, 2011 and carry extremely high interest rates ranging from 5.375% to
8.15% on a taxable basis.
Following the issuance of the 2016 Bonds, the Agency would have its final debt in place and is
expected to be as follows:
Project Areas 1 and 2

Since the reduced debt service after refunding will reduce the amount of property taxes deposited in
the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund required to be paid to the Successor Agency, there will
be additional "residual" property tax that can be distributed to taxing agencies that overlap the
boundaries of the Redevelopment Project Areas in accordance with their share of the general
property tax levy shown below. The City may be able to use up to 50% of the additional residual

generated by the refunding first to repay certain City advances to the former Agency, and if so, the
taxing agencies will receive their percentage of the remaining residual after such payment estimated
as follows.
• School Districts: 62.50%
• Riverside County: 22.18%
• Water District: 7.21%
• City of La Quinta: 5.29%
• Recreation and Parks: 2.82%
The following table sets forth the estimated Costs associated with the 2016 financing.
Underwriter's discount estimated at 0.750%, costs of issuance estimated at 0.60%, bond insurance
estimated at 0.31% and a debt service reserve surety bond fee of 0.14% for all in costs of 1.80%
which is in line with the percentage of costs associated with the refunding programs. As previously
mentioned, the savings discussed above are after all costs of issuance associated with the financing.

The Financing Team expects the Bonds to be rated "A+" by Standard and Poor's. Purchasing
insurance will bring the bond rating up to "AA" although based on the current market, insurance will
not be necessary for all maturities. The increase in rating should offset the insurance premium
through reduced interest rates and yields on the refunding bonds. The Financing Team will prepare
a stress test at the time the refunding bonds are marketed to determine the actual savings
generated by using bond insurance. If the insurance premium isn't justified by savings, bond
insurance will not be utilized.

The Prior Agency's Bonds all carry a reserve fund surety bond in lieu of cash for the reserve funds.
Using cash at this point would greatly increase the amount of refunding bonds required to be issued
in order to cash fund the new reserve funds. The use of a reserve fund surety bond will be required
in order to achieve the reported savings.
Underwriter's Discount will be based in part on the rating of the refunding bonds. If bond insurance
is utilized the underwriter's discount would be reduced over a standalone rating only. This is
predominately due to the amount of takedown (commission) necessary to pay salespeople to sell
the bonds. The higher the rating, the less takedown required.
Cash Contributions
As part of the 2016 Bonds refunding program, the Financing Team has included approximately
$2,800,000 of unspent proceeds remaining with US Bank as Trustee for the Project Area No. 2 2011
Bonds, initially issued in the amount of $6,000,000. These moneys have been designated by DOF as
available for two purposes: 1) purchasing Agency bonds on the open market or 2) reducing bonded
debt amounts in a refinancing. Over the past 24 months, there has been less than $100,000 of these
PA 2 Bonds available on the open market (bonds being offered for sale to the general public). It has
therefore been determined that the best use of these moneys is in the refinancing process. The
unspent proceeds will be transferred to the Escrow Bank and deposited in the Project No. 2
refunding escrow which in turn reduces the amount of bonds necessary to be issued for said
refunding.
In addition, certain cash reserves are currently on deposit with the 2011 Bonds Trustee. These
moneys have also been used to reduce the principal amount of bonds necessary to be issued for the
refunding. As previously discussed, the Agency will purchase a reserve surety policy to satisfy its
debt service reserve requirements.
2011 Bonds Escrow Accounts
Proceeds from the financing will be held in an escrow that will pay regularly scheduled principal and
interest on the prior 2011 Bonds until their first optional call date of September 1, 2020. The escrow
fund will also hold funds to redeem all remaining maturities on September 1, 2020. The proceeds
held in the escrow will be invested in either State and Local Government Securities or Open Market
Securities, whichever are more efficient. The prior 2011 Bonds will be considered fully defeased on
the date the 2016 Bonds are issued.
Conclusion
There is no way of knowing if the municipal market will maintain current interest rates and yields
long enough for the Successor Agency to complete the approval and DOF review process estimated
to require 60 to 75 days. We believe your Financing Team should be able to steer the refinancing
thru the approval process at little or no cost to the Successor Agency, should the refunding bonds
not be economically feasible following the approval and review process. In addition, prior to the
issuance of refunding bonds, the Financing Team will return to the Successor Agency Board for the
