APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: 1 ~,'1~1.'t ~~ I~ ~ Y~ ,~~CC .;~~ Assistant Ci Attorney ADOPTED AND EFFECTIVE: January 25, 2011 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/25/2011 -Ordinance No. 19517-01-2011 DATE: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 REFERENCE NO.: **G-17176 LOG NAME: 1311 ARBITRAGE REBATE SUBJECT: Authorize Payment of Arbitrage Rebate in an Amount Not to Exceed $75,000.00 for Water and Sewer System Subordinate Lien Revenue Bonds, Series 2005A and 20056 and Adopt Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize payment to the United States Treasury for arbitrage rebate in an amount not to exceed $75,000.00; and 2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the State Revolving Debt Service Fund in an amount not to exceed $75,000.00 and decreasing the unaudited, unreserved, undesignated fund balance by the same amount. DISCUSSION: This payment relates to the arbitrage rebate liability currently estimated to be $69,484.14 on the City's $11,500,000.00 Water and Sewer System Subordinate Lien Revenue Bonds, Series 2005A and $64,520,000.00 Water and Sewer System Subordinate Lien Revenue Bonds, Series 20056. Per Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulation, investment gains generated from public debt issuance with earnings above the bond yield must be remitted to the IRS as a rebate payment. The City's investment portfolio enjoyed yields in the 3.5 to 4 percent range for a number of years before tailing off in late 2008 while the bond yield for these two issues is 2.95 percent, thus payment to the IRS is required. The rebate payment for these bonds is due no later than February 14, 2011. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the State Revolving Debt Service Fund.
