1993 TC II Parking Structure Refunding Certificates of Participation, 1993 Certificate of
Participation TC II - Parking Structure Phase II, and the 1998 capital lease with CaLease
Public Funding Corporation. Based on current market rates, the refinancing of these

of approximately $462,000 will be realized by various funding sources, such as the

Senior Assistant City Attorney Googins spoke regarding the fact that the refinancing would have
the effect of terminating the operating lease for the Chula Vista Center parking garage; therefore,
the garage would no longer be required to be free or open to the public. Staff believed that it
would remain free and open to the public anyway under normal operations.
