STAFF REPORT
RE: Letter in Support of Protecting Municipal Bonds SUBMITTED BY: Daniel Buffalo, Finance Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item MEETING DATE: 03/19/2013

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/AGENCY/BOARD: The City Council is being asked to adopt a Resolution of the City of Lakeport authorizing the City Manager to execute a letter of support for the protection of municipal bonds. BACKGROUND: The United States Congress is considering action to diminish or eliminate the tax exempt status of municipal bond interest. Any plans to do so could have a negative effect on state and local governments and increase their costs to issue debt for capital projects, such as infrastructure improvements or expansion, compliance with regulatory requirements, or efforts to promote community safety and well being. This exemption has been in place since the federal income tax was enacted by Congress in 1913. Several state and national organizations representing the interests of local government, including the National League of Cities (NLC), the League of California Cities (LCC), and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) have called on the federal government not to eliminate or otherwise limit this exemption and are encouraging their memberships to contact their respective Congress Members in opposition to this notion and in support of protecting municipal bonds. DISCUSSION: Municipal bonds are a low-cost and efficient way for local government agencies to finance critical capital projects. Lakeport, as well as the County of Lake and City of Clearlake, have utilized tax-exempt financings for critical capital projects. The City has used such financing to construct its sewer treatment facility and improvement thereto, the surface water treatment plant, road and other infrastructure projects, and, hopefully within the next year, a revitalization project to downtown Main Street. Furthermore, future needs likely will be financed through municipal bond issues due to the lack of available resources for such large capital projects. A joint report issued by the NLC, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the National Association of Counties highlights over the past ten years that state and local governments have financed over $1.65 trillion in infrastructure improvements using tax-exempt bonds. According to the NLC, local governments save an average of 25-30 percent on interest costs with tax-exempt municipal bonds compared to taxable bonds. Investors are willing to accept lower interest rates on these debt issues due to the tax benefit. If this exemption in eliminated or diminished, local agencies will pay more to meet the needs of their communities. Tax-exempt bonds provide a critical resource in the tool box of decision-makers at the local level, where citizens and elected officials can best determine where needs are greatest and where investments will

generate the maximum benefits to the community. The support letter, attached here for consideration, is based on a letter previously sent to Congress by the LCC. OPTIONS: 1. Approve the attached resolution and letter of support as recommended by staff. 2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff. FISCAL IMPACT: None $State and local governments would pay more to raise capital for future projects. In Lakeport, it could affect any future debt-related projects for the water and sewer enterprises, as well as any road or other infrastructure endeavors. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: Move to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign and submit a letter and resolution to U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and Congressional Representative Mike Thompson in support of protecting municipal bonds and in opposition to any elimination or diminishment to their taxexempt status.

RESOLUTION NO. ______ (2013)


A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT AND THE CITY OF LAKEPORT MUNICIPAL SEWER DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROTECTION OF MUNICIPAL BONDS
WHEREAS, a fundamental principle of tax-exempt financing is the ability of local governments to determine the services needed in their respective communities and to raise capital to provide the required infrastructure free from federal tax on bonds used. The exclusion of interest on state and local obligations from federal gross income is an important financing tool in a time where building and rebuilding infrastructure is required to meet federal and state mandates, community growth, and is critical to our nations state and local economies; and WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport, California opposes efforts by Congress and the Administration to eliminate or limit the use of tax-exempt bonds by state and local governments or to change the ability of investors to claim the exemption; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Lakeport and the Board of Directors of the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD) hereby authorize the City Manager to execute a letter of support to be sent to our Congressional Representatives, Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Representative Mike Thompson, as well as a certified copy of the Resolution in the protection of tax-exempt financing as critical tool in ensuring the safety and well-being of our local community. The foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted at a regular joint meeting of the City Council and CLMSD Board of Directors on the 19th day of March, 2013, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAINING: ABSENT: ____________________________________ TOM ENGSTROM, Mayor ATTEST: ________________________________ JANEL M.

Legislative Issue Brief Protect Municipal Bonds


NLC calls on the federal government not to limit in any way the income tax exemption for municipal bonds.

As the Administration and Congress look for revenue to reduce the deficit and fund programs, the federal income tax exemption provided to interest paid on state and municipal bonds (debt) is under threat. In addition to increasing taxes, revenue can be raised by expanding what is subject to being taxed (broadening the base); in this case, interest paid on bonds issued by local governments currently not taxed would be included as income. This exemption has been in place since the federal income tax was instituted in 1913. It is the primary financing mechanism for state and local infrastructure projects, with three-quarters of the infrastructure projects in the U.S. built by state and local governments, and with over $2.9 Trillion in outstanding taxexempt bonds, issued by 30,000 separate government units. Local governments save an average of 25 percent to 30 percent on interest costs with tax-exempt municipal bonds as compared to taxable bonds. This is true because investors are willing to accept lower interest on tax-exempt bonds in conjunction with the tax benefit. If the federal income tax exemption is eliminated or limited, states and localities will pay more to finance projects, leading to less infrastructure investment, fewer jobs, and greater burdens on citizens who will have to pay higher taxes and fees. The need for infrastructure investmentand the jobs that come with itis acute. Much of this need must be met by states, counties, and cities. Tax-exempt municipal bonds are the primary tools for doing so.

Tax Exempt Bonds Facts and Figures


With the current tax exemption, cities can issue bonds with interest payments 2 percentage points lower than on taxable bonds. The tax exemption has been in place since the first federal income tax was implemented in 1913 and has financed trillions of dollars of public investment. Tax-exempt bond issuance has remained stable compared to GDP over the past 10 years, averaging around 14.8 percent, and has actually declined since the 1980s. Compared to other sector, municipal debt issuance has been the most stable and fiscally responsible. Local government financing needs for infrastructure are increasing, not decreasing. For instance, the American Society of Civil Engineers reports that $2.2. trillion is required over the next five years to meet physical infrastructure needs. Over $2.9 trillion in outstanding tax-exempt bonds have been issued by 30,000 separate governmental units.

Request for Congress and the Administration


Tax-exempt bonds are how local governments finance infrastructure projectsthey have been around for more than 100 years and they provide essential funding for localities. Three-quarters of all public infrastructure projects in the U.S. are built by states and localities paid for with tax exempt bonds. If the tax exemption is eliminated or reduced, hometowns will pay more to finance projects, leading to fewer projects and jobs, or will have to raise taxes.

STAFF REPORT
RE: CPI Increase for Residential Solid Waste Service SUBMITTED BY: Mark Brannigan, Public Works Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item MEETING DATE: 03/19/2013

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/AGENCY/BOARD: The City Council is being asked to adjust the monthly service rate for solid waste (garbage, green waste, and recycle) service for Lakeport residences. BACKGROUND: On January 1, 2004, the Lakeport City Council entered into a contract with Lakeport Disposal, Inc. for the collection, transportation, and disposal of garbage, refuse, rubbish, and recycling materials in the City of Lakeport. The contract indicates that on January 1 of each year, Lakeport Disposal will receive a rate adjustment equal to 75 percent of the percentage change from the previous year in the US Department of Labor Bureau of Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose California area (see attached). DISCUSSION: Lakeport Disposal has provided services to the City of Lakeport residences throughout the year and are requesting the contractually agreed upon annual inflationary rate increase (CPI). The contract requires that "the CPI adjustment shall be equal to the amount derived by multiplying the previous rate times Seventy Five (75%) percent of the percentage increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, All Items Index, for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, Ca Metropolitan Area, during the prior twelve month period." The formula used for this equation is: Rate x (75% x CPI) and equates to a 2.78% increase this calendar year. Residential services are volume based where the resident can choose between 20, 32, or 95 gallon totters. The cost per totter is listed in the proposed resolution attached to this staff report. OPTIONS: Adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the CPI increase of 2.78% or provide further direction to staff regarding the proposed Resolution FISCAL IMPACT: None $ Account Number: Comments: Per Resolution 2152 (2003) The City receives a 10% franchise fee and 3% fee for billing.
