TITLE: Review of Annual Financial Statement
ABSTRACT:
The Bylaws of the Newport Beach Public Facilities Corporation call for an annual meeting of the
Board of Directors. The Bylaws also specify that the Chief Financial Officer shall maintain
adequate financial records concerning the receipts and disbursements of the Corporation and the
Board of Directors are entitled to inspect the associated financial records upon request. The
attached financial statements represent the financial position and financial activities of the
corporation for the year ended June 30, 2018.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action
will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and
b) Receive and file the financial report.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There are no funding requirements associated with this action.
DISCUSSION:
The Newport Beach Public Facilities Corporation ("Corporation") was created on
March 9, 1992, by the City of Newport Beach ("City") under the authority of California law. The
purpose of the Corporation is to assist the City in the financing of public improvements, including
a public library and most recently the new Civic Center project. This type of non-profit corporation
is required by the Federal IRS code in order to issue a public financing instrument called a
Certificate of Participation ("COP"). A COP is a typical California public financing instrument for
public facilities or equipment. It is a type of lease purchase that requires a third party, the
Corporation, for the lease transaction. The Corporation assigns all of the rights, obligations and
financial transactions to others, such as the Trustee for the COP.

The Corporation is governed by a Board of Directors that is comprised of the seven City Council
Members of the City. Normally, the Mayor serves as Chairperson of the Board, with the Mayor
Pro -Tem serving as Vice -Chairperson. The City Manager serves the Corporation as President,
the City Clerk serves as Secretary, and the City Treasurer serves as Chief Financial Officer.
In 1992, the City issued $7.5 million of COPs to finance the construction of the Central Library
and subsequent refinanced this obligation in 1998. In 2010, the City issued approximately $126.7
million of new COPs. Of this financing, $122.8 million was used for the Civic Center project and
$3.9 million was used to refinance the remaining balance of the Central Library COPs. The
Corporation's financial data and transactions are included in the debt service fund in the City's
financial statements. The City's debt service fund is used solely to account for the activities of
the Corporation and contains no other City debt financing activities. Even though the Corporation
is a separate legal entity, it is considered a component unit of the City and is included in the audit
of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
The main sources of revenues of the Corporation are lease payments from the City and Federal
Build America Bond (BAB) Interest Subsidy payments; both of which are pledged for the sole use
of paying interest and principal on the COPs. The Corporation has assigned its rights to receive
and collect these payments to a trustee who makes the semi-annual debt service payments to
the bond holders. Therefore, the lease and BAB subsidy payments are received directly by the
Trustee. The debt is an obligation of the City, not the Corporation. The City owns the financed
properties.
During the year, the trustee received lease payments from the City totaling $8.2 million and
Federal Build America Bond (BAB) Interest Subsidy of $2.4 million. Together with investment
earnings, there were sufficient resources necessary to satisfy the annual debt service requirement
of $10.6 million. The table below illustrates the remaining debt service payment and principal
balance on the COPs:

The outstanding principal of the obligation was $107.4 million as of June 30, 2018. The remaining
interest of $100.9 million does not yet reflect the remaining BAB subsidy of $32.1 million so the
remaining interest net of the BAB subsidy totals $67.9 million.
