PREVIOUS ACTION
On November 26, 1996, the City Council approved Resolution No. 96-206 authorizing and approving the issuance of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds 1996 Series A in an amount of $12,195,000 of which $9,701,123 was for water and $2,493,877 was for sewer.
On August 24, 2004, by Resolution No. 2004-206, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) pertaining to long-term treated water services as a part of the Surface Water Treatment Facility - Phase II, CIP Project No. 562-56290.
On September 11, 2007, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2007-209 approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute a second amendatory agreement with the CCWD pertaining to long-term treated water services as a part of the Surface Water Treatment Facility Project.
On September 9, 2008, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2008-236 authorizing the execution of a Master Installment Sale Agreement, a First Supplemental Installment Sale Agreement with the Brentwood Infrastructure Financing Authority (“the Authority”) and a Bond
the refunding of a portion of the Authority’s outstanding Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, 1996 Series A and the financing and refinancing of the City’s 2008 Water Project.
BACKGROUND
In 1996, the Authority issued the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds 1996 Series A in the amount of $12,195,000 to finance certain capital improvements to the Water System and Sewer System. In addition to water wells and connections to the existing water system, these improvements consisted of additional water and sewer pipelines, pumping stations, system control and data acquisition. The Water and Sewer Installment Sale Agreements allowed the proceeds of the Bonds to be expended on "any additions, betterments, extensions or improvements to the Systems designated by the City Council".
The costs of improvements to the Water System represented 79.55% or $9,701,122.50 of the proceeds. The projects funded were the Interim Water System, Zone #1 Water Line relocation, Lone Tree Water Line, SCADA and several improvements to the Well Systems.
Construction of The Surface Water Treatment Facility – Phase I & II, (CIP Project No. 562-56290), the Brentwood Water Treatment Plant (BWTP), began in December of 2004. Phase I consisted of preparing all necessary environmental documents to jointly expand and construct the BWTP adjacent to the Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plant, including the necessary pumping and distribution facilities; design and construction of the ultimate pumping facilities; and main trunk line to the City's distribution system and all related appurtenances. Phase I of the project was placed in service in 2006. Phase II consisted of the design and construction of the BWTP as part of a joint venture between the City and the CCWD to treat the City's surface water supply to potable drinking water standards to meet the ultimate water consumption demands of the City. Phase II began construction in 2006 and w a s operational in 2008. The BWTP currently has the capacity to treat up to 15 million gallons per day (mgd) and has been designed to be expandable to an ultimate capacity of 30 mgd to serve the City’s water demands through build-out.
Pursuant to the second amendatory agreement with the CCWD approved on September 11, 2007, the BWTP was initially financed through CCWD’s commercial paper program and cash contributions from the City. Per the agreement, the City had the option to issue bonds at any time during the construction phase or within twelve months of receiving treated water. The City determined that a lower cost structure was achieved through permanent financing for the facility through its own debt issuance.
On November 13, 2008, the Authority issued $53,200,000 in Water Revenue Bonds, with interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 5.75%, due July 1, 2038. The Authority pledged net revenues of the water system through 2038 to repay the Water Revenue Bonds.
Due to favorable market interest rates, it is possible to refinance the 2008 Water Revenue Bonds at lower interest rates. Based on today’s market rates, the refinancing of the bonds will generate an estimated $9.3 million in savings over the life of the bonds. The Series 2014 bonds received a rating by Standard & Poor’s of AA.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action would generate approximately $9.3 million in savings over the next 24 years. The savings generated would be available to fund future infrastructure needs and operations of the
Water enterprise.
Fees paid to the underwriter, bond and disclosure counsel and municipal advisor are contingent upon the successful completion of the issuance of the bonds and will be quantified at the time the financing package is brought before the City Council for consideration and approval of the bond issuance. Estimated fees have already been accounted for in the savings amount presented above.
