S~QNSIDERATION OF APPROPRIATION OF MONEY FOR SOIL REMEDIATION AT MAINTENANC
YARD, PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT NO. 8968: The Public Works Director summarized the

CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION OF THE ISSUANCE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF A BOND
SI SUE} ENTITLED "TAXABLE COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE BONDS, SERIES 1992" AND
EXECUTI9~ OF DOCUMENTS THEREWITH: The Finance Director presented the staff
report dated June 2, 1992, which indicated that due to the current interest
rate environment, it is beneficial for the City to issue a taxable refunding
bond issue to refund the 1991 issue by establishing, with the bond proceeds of
the Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO), an AAA escrowed trust fund
dedicated to paying all debt service on the 1991 bonds until their maturity.
The efficiencies of this process will enable the City to realize $400,000 to
$500,000 net of all costs of the transaction. The amount represented a profit
derived from the difference between the sale price of the existing bond
reserves and mortgage loans and the cost to the City of buying an AAA escrow
of Federal Securities in amounts sufficient to pay all debt service on the
1991 bonds plus the present value of excess residual to be earned with respect
to the 1991 Bond issue.
Mr. Jeff Kinsell, Whipple, Kinsell & Co., Inc., explained the transaction
process and the amount of money to be expected. When the loans are sold the
bonds are defeased; however, nothing would change for the homeowners. He
advised that the old bonds were tax exempt and the new bonds will be taxable.
The bonds will be marketed with an assumed average life of three years.
Responding to Councilmember Kerry, Mr. Kinsell answered that there are no
risks to the City on this issue.
Councilmember Age stated she would abstain on this item because her employer,
Bank of America, is the escrow agent.
It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by Councilmember Nicholson
to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows, authorizing the
issuance, sale and delivery of the Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Bonds
and the execution of documents in connection therewith.
RESOLUTION NO. 4078
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED $6,500,000

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 8, 1992
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: For Matters Not on the Agenda.
The City Manager made the City Council aware that the State is now considering
eliminating the vehicle license fees which have historically always been a
direct revenue source for cities. If they shift it, it would cost the City of
Cypress over $1 million in revenue next year. They are also considering
reversing AB 8, and shifting those revenues away from cities, which could
amount to almost $400,000 in lost revenues. If there is a loss of almost $2
million in City revenues, it will impact the Police and Public Works
Departments. The Mayor will write a letter to address these issues. The
State must curb its own inefficiencies, not through the cities.
Councilmember Kerry advised that it is the State that has been running
inefficiently and have been trying to cut all of the services that affect the
people.
Councilmember Age suggested that perhaps a delegation of Mayors be sent to
Sacramento on the cities' behalf.
Councilmember Kerry suggested that this be a subject of discussion at the
Orange County League of Cities meeting.
Councilmember Bowman advised that there will be a Resolution before the League
of Cities requesting that President Bush seal the borders from illegal entry
into the United States.
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS: For Matters Not on the Agenda. None were presented.
ADJOURNMENT: Mayor Partin adjourned the meeting at 9:25 p.m. to Monday, June
