TO: Mayor Whidden, nt FROM: Administrative Services D RE: Authorizing Interfund Loan om the Firemen's Pension Fund to Local Improvement Dist ict 206 ISSUE: Should the Council authorize an interfund loan from the Firemen's Pension Fund to Local Improvement District 206? BACKGROUND: When the City of Port Angeles embarked on Local Improvement District 206, Bluewater View paving, it was determined that due to the small size of the project, it would be better to arrange for interfund financing than the issuance of LID bonds. The proj ect has now been completed, the final assessment roll adopted, and the payment period has expired. The total assessments still outstanding for the LID are $8,041.86. In order to complete the project, internal financing now needs to be put in place. ANALYSIS: Because of the extremely small size, it would be totally impractical for the City to proceed with a bond issue for this project, as well as being unreasonable to the property owners. The Firemen's Pension Fund does have money available, and purchasing warrants of a local improvement district backed by the LID Guarantee Fund is an allowable investment under State statutes. This is the method we anticipated using at the inception of the project and now have the required information to complete the transaction. The procedure will produce a very competitive interest rate for the property owners involved. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that the Council authorize the interfund financing of Local Improvement District No. 206 from the Firemen's Pension Fund. RDW : LF -
