Funding for the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Grit Facility&South Influent Pump Station Project is depicted below: Existing Additional Fund � Project Total* _ , Appropriations Appropriations _ _ Water&Sewer Bondi $11870,965.00 $0.00 $1,870,965.00 2017A-Fund 560114+_ WS Capital Project $1,035,755.00 $0.00 $1,035,755.00 +2019-Fund 56016 _ _ J Water&Sewer Bond l$27 552,151.00 $0.00$27,552,151.00 2020A-Fund_56017 v _ W&S Commercial i $0.00 �$759,217.00 $759,217.00 Paper--Fund 56019 t Project Total J$30,458,871.00 $759,217.00 $31,218,088.00� *Numbers rounded for presentation purposes. This project will have no impact on the Water Department's annual operating budget when completed. This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water& Sewer Fund.Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program(CP)will be used to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued.To the extent resources other than the Water and Sewer portfolio are used to provide interim financing,the Water&Sewer Fund will be charged interest that is equivalent to the overall rate of return being earned by the City portfolio(currently approximately 2.3 percent annually).Should the City's portfolio not support the liquidity needed to provide an interim short-term financing source,another funding source will be required,which could mean issuance of securities under the CP Program or earlier issuance of Water and Sewer revenue bonds than is currently planned.Once debt associated with this project is sold,bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached reimbursement resolution. The City Council approved the Water Department's Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan on September 17,2019.This City Council approved plan includes this specific project,with funding identified through the CP program to be reimbursed with future revenue bonds.In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Management Policy Statements,staff anticipates presenting revenue-supported debt issued within approximately three years to provide reimbursement for these expenses. If that does not occur,the costs will no longer be reimbursable by issuing tax-exempt debt and the funding source will have to be made whole through other budgetary methods.Adoption of this resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds,but preserves the ability to reimburse the City from tax-exempt bond proceeds. M/WBE OFFICE-CDM Smith, Inc., is in compliance with the City's BIDE Ordinance by committing to 11 percent SBE participation on the Amendment No.5.The City's goal on this Amendment No.5 is six percent. This project serves the entire City and is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5. FISCAL INFORMATION I CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance,funds will be available in the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the VCWRF Grit Fac&S Influent PS project to support the execution of the amendment to the engineering contract.Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
