On April 30, 1987, the Redevelopment Agency and Homart Development Co. entered
into a Disposition and Development Agreement whereby Homart agreed to develop
and redeye op the u a ista hopping Center. Total cost of the project is
estimated to be ~42,150,G00. Of this amount, $35,000,000 is to be invested by
Homart and $7,150,000 by the City/Agency.
Page 2, Item 7
• Meeting Date~7$7
City staff has been working closely with our bond counsel (Chick Adams of
Jones Hall Hill & White), Agency counsel (Marcia Scully of McDonough, Holland
& Allen), the underwriter (Peter Ross of Dean Witter Reynolds), and the
developer (Tom Gourguechon of Homart) in order to structure the Certificates
of Participation financing to provide the City's share in the amount of
$7,150,000.
In addition, staff has structured the Certificates to provide financing for
refunding the 1982 Parking Facility Certificates ($3,135,000), court
improvements to the South Bay Regional Center ($1,300,000), and General Fund
Capital Improvement Projects ($1,300,000).
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolutions approving the various
agreements and legal documents and directing the sale of Certificates of
Participation.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
As mentioned above, the proposed Certificate financing is made up of several
elements. Because there are leases involved for two different sites (Shopping
Center and the Parking Facility in Town Centre I), the financing is being
divided into two separate series of Certificates of Participation: the 1987
• Series A Certificates and the 1987 Series B Certificates. They will be
marketed under one Official Statement.
I. 1987 Series A Certificates
A. Project Description. The purpose of the 1987 Series A issue is to
fund a 7, 50,000 public parking project (the "Project") in the
Redevelopment Agency's Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area.
The Project consists only of land, not improvements.
The Project Area, which totals approximately 65 acres, consists of
an existing retail shopping center. However, Homart Development
Co., a major shopping center developer ("Homart"), has agreed to
redevelop the Project Area into a regional shopping mall pursuant
to the terms of a Disposition and Development Agreement, dated
April 30, 1987. That Disposition and Development Agreement
requires Homart to acquire most of the parcels in the Project Area,
to construct a mall with 140,000 square feet of gross leasable
space, to link 2 of the 3 major retailers in the Shopping Center
(Sears and Broadway; Penney's is the third) and to construct
certain public improvements. Homart is on a "fast-track"
construction schedule and expects to complete the development of
the Shopping Center by January 1989 or earlier. Completion is
guaranteed by a completion bond.
• The overall cost to redevelop the Project Area is estimated to
exceed $42,000,000. Homart already has expended $12,000,000 for
land acquisition on April 30, 1987, is under contract to expend $7
~.-~ .
Page 3, Item 7
• Meeting Date 8/18/87
million for additional land and leasehold acquisition, has
contracted for the off-sites and by mid-August expects to have
entered into contracts for construction and on-site improvements.
The redevelopment of the Project Area by Nomart represents a key
piece in the City and Redevelopment Agency's overall plan of
revitalization in Chula Vista. It also is a means to preserve the
City's retail competitiveness with recently opened shopping centers
in nearby National City (Plaza Bonita) and downtown San Diego
(Horton Plaza) and a means of boosting sales tax revenue from the
existing shopping center.
The Disposition and Development Agreement requires the Agency to
contribute $7,150,000 to the shopping center redevelopment and to
close the section of 5th Avenue in the City which bisects the
Center. The Agency already has approved the vacation and closure
of 5th Avenue. With the issuance of approximately $9,670,000 of
Certificates of Participation, 1987 Series A, the Agency will have
satisfied its other requirement under the Disposition and
Development Agreement.
B. The Lease Structure. The proceeds of the 1987 Series A
Certificates will be used to acquire a leasehold interest in a
7-acre Lease Parcel to be used for public parking in the Shopping
• Center. Homart, which owns the parking site, will lease the Lease
Parcel to the Agency pursuant to a Site Lease. The Agency will
sublease the Lease Parcel to the City pursuant to the 1987 Series A
Lease Agreement. The City will then sub-sublease the Lease Parcel
to omart pursuant to an Operating Agreement. This structure is
diagrammed as follows:

During the term of the 1987 Series A Lease Agreement, the City will
use and occupy the Lease Parcel solely for the purpose of providing
free parking for the public and for the purpose of sub-subleasing
the Lease Parcel to Homart pursuant to the Operating Agreement.
C. Security Features
1. Annual Appropriations. The 1987 Series A Certificates are
secure y annua appropriations from the City's General
Fund. The annual lease payments of approximately X965,000
ased on current market rates) represent approximately 3% of
the City's 1987/88 General Fund.
2. Revenues from the Project Area. The 1987 Series A COPS will
result in the generation of revenues which are estimated to
more than replenish the City's General Fund. These revenues
are in the form of (i) real property tax increment, which is
paid to the City pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement with
the Agency and (ii) sales tax revenues which flow directly
into the City's General Fund. The accompanying cash flows
reflect these projected revenues. The tax increment revenues
were projected by Community Systems Associates, Inc. as
redevelopment consultant; the sales tax revenues, which
• represent incremental revenues over the current level of sales
tax generated from the existing center, were projected
initially by Homart and confirmed by the Agency's consultant,
Gruen + Gruen.
3. Sales Tax Guaranty. Homart is furnishing a Sales Tax Guaranty
through 1996 which will require them to make a payment to the
City if the sum of the annual increment sales tax, increment
property tax, and cumulative tax surpluses is less than the
City's Lease Payment obligation. The amount that Homart is
required to pay in the event a payment is necessary under the
Sales Tax Guaranty, is the lesser of the shortfall or an
amount equal to 90% of the sales tax increment as estimated
for that year.
4. Capitalized Interest. The 1987 Series A COPs includes two
years of capitalized interest payments. Such funding is not
legally required because COP proceeds will be expended soon
after closing and the land theoretically will be immediately
available for leasing. Nonetheless, the two years of funded
interest will permit Homart sufficient time to redevelop the
Project Area and thus allow the generation of real property
and sales tax increment revenues. It also allows the City to
cumulate a "cushion" of revenues which effectively can be used
to offset any revenue "deficits" in future years.
•
Page 5, Item 7
Meeting Date 8/18/87
• 5. Reserve Fund. The 1987 Series A COPs will include a reserve
fund in an amount equal to 10% of the COP amount.
II. 1987 Series B Certificates
A. Project Description. The 1987 Series B Certificates are being
issue to re un the outstanding City of Chula Vista 1982
Certificates of Participation (Parking Facility) in the approximate
amount of $3,135,000, to provide $1,300,000 for court improvements
to South Bay Regional Center and to provide $1,300,000 for General
Fund Capital Improvement Projects.
The Parking Facility and site were leased by the City to Imperial
P1unicipal Services Group in relation to the 1982 Certificates of
Participation. In order to accomplish the proposed refunding, it
will be necessary for Imperial to execute an Assignment Agreement
which will assign all of its interests and rights to the Parking
Facility and site to the Redevelopment Agency. Proceeds of the
1987 Series B Certi fi Cates wi 11 then be deposited i n escrow i n an
amount sufficient, together with interest earnings thereon, to
fully pay the 1982 Certificates in 1992, the first redemption
date. It is estimated that the refunding will result in total debt
service savings in the amount of over $1,000,000 during the life of
the Certificates.
• Proceeds in the amount of $1,300,000 from the sale of the 1987
Series B Certificates will be used to satisfy the Agency's capital
improvements obligation to the County. The County agreed to permit
the Agency to retain tax increment revenues generated from the
Project Area in exchange for the Agency's assistance in financing
construction of court improvements to the South Bay Regional Center.
Finally, proceeds also in the amount of $1,300,000 will be used to
assist in financing General Fund capital improvement projects. The
Public Safety Communications center has a total budget of
$1,110,700 ($488,700 in 1987/88 and $622,000 in 1988/89) and the
Police Crime Laboratory has a budget of $355,750 in 1987/88. The
major portion of the financing for these projects may be included
in the Certificates, thus spreading the financing over several
years rather than reducing the General Fund reserves by $1.3
million in one year.

B. Lease Structure. The lease structure for the 1987 Series B
certificates essentially parallels the conventional COP structure.
The only modification is an assignment agreement by Imperial
Municipal Services Group to the Agency. Imperial, now effectively
defunct, was the lessor under the 1982 issue and the Agency will be
assuming its obligations as lessor under the 1987 Series B issue.

C. Security
1. General Fund. The 1987 Series B issue will be secured by
annua appropriations that the City will covenant to make from
its General Fund. The annual lease payments, approximately
$920, represent approximately 2.5°~ of the City's 1987-88
General Fund. However, the amounts attributable to the
refunding portion alone are fully reimbursed through tax
increment revenues generated out of the Agency's Town Centre I
Redevelopment Project and the amounts attributable to the $1.3
million County contribution are projected to be reimbursable
through excess property tax and sales tax increment revenues
from the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project.
2. Capitalized Interest. The 1987 Series B issue includes one
year o un ed interest.
3. Debt Service Reserve Fund. The 1987 Series B issue will
include a debt service reserve fund in an amount equal to 10%
of the COP size.

III. Rating
Presentations have been made by City staff and Homart to the rating
agencies of Moody's and Standard & Poor's in New York on August 4,
1987. As of this date we have not received a rating but anticipate
having one prior to the Council meeting.
IV. Underwriter
The Certificates of Participation will be sold by the City/Agency to
Dean Witter Reynolds (the "Underwriter") pursuant to a Purchase
Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Certificates of Participation in an estimated total amount
of $16,725,000 are to be issued in Series A and Series B:
Series A Series B
Project Expenses $7,150,000 $5,735,000
Capitalized Interest 1,230,000 398,000
Reserve Fund 967,000 706,000
Costs of Issuance & Discount 323,000 216,000
_$9,670,000 _$7,055,0_00
• The Series A Certificates will be issued for a 25-year term (2012) and the
Series B Certificates issued fora 15-year term (2002).
Sources of Revenue for Debt Service Payments
Series A Certificates - It is anticipated that the incremental property tax
and sales tax revenues generated from the Project will offset the debt service
requirement for Series A (Shopping Center parking) and also contribute toward
debt service on Series B.
Series B Certificates - Currently the City receives tax increment payments
each year from the Redevelopment Agency Town Centre I Project in an amount
sufficient to pay the debt service on the 1982 Parking Facility Certificates.
This practice will continue following the refunding with the issuance of the
1987 Series B Certificates. Since the Parking Facility refunding makes up 55%
of the Series B issue, 55~ of the debt service on the Series B Certificates
will continue to be funded by payments from the Town Centre I Project.
The source of debt service payment for the principal portion included in the
Series B issue for financing court improvements ($1,300,000) is anticipated to
come from increment sales tax and property tax revenues in excess of the
amount required for debt service payments on the Series A Certificates. This
is as was contemplated when the Agency entered into agreement with the County
whereby the Agency will receive tax increment revenue from the Project Area.
•
•
Page 8, Item ~
Meeting Date /~1
There is also the possibility that excess increment sales and property tax
revenues could fund the debt service for the remaining portion of the Series B
issue ($1,300,000 for General Fund Capital Improvement Projects). If not, the
funding would come from General Fund revenues. Financing the $1,300,000 in
the Series B Certificates will result in an annual debt service of
approximately $185,000 as opposed to reducing the General Fund reserves by
$1.3 million during 1987-88.

RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolutions approving the various
agreements and legal documents and directing the sale of Certificates of
Participation.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
As mentioned above, the proposed Certificate financing is made up of several
elements. Because there are leases involved for two different sites (Shopping
Center and the Parking Facility in Town Centre I), the financing is being
divided into two separate series of Certificates of Participation: the 1987
• Series A Certificates and the 1987 Series B Certificates. They will be
marketed under one Official Statement.
I. 1987 Series A Certificates
A. Project Description. The purpose of the 1987 Series A i ssue i s to
fund a 50,000 public parking project (the "Project") in the
Redevelopment Agency's Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area.
The Project consists only of land, not improvements.
The Project Area, which totals approximately 65 acres, consists of
an existing retail shopping center. However, Homart Development
Co., a major shopping center developer ("Homart"), has agreed to

million for additional land and leasehold acqu~s~tion, has
contracted for the off-sites and by mid-August expects to have

The redevelopment of the Project Area by Homart represents a key
piece in the City and Redevelopment Agency's overall plan of

City's retail competitiveness with recently opened shopping centers
in nearby National City (Plaza Bonita} and downtown San Diego
(Horton Plaza) and a means of boosting sales tax revenue from the
existing shopping center.
The Disposition and Development Agreement requires the Agency to
contribute $7,150,000 to the shopping center redevelopment and to
close the section of 5th Avenue in the City which bisects the
Center. The Agency already has approved the vacation and closure
of 5th Avenue. With the issuance of approximately $9,670,000 of
Certificates of Participation, 1987 Series A, the Agency will have
satisfied its other requirement under the Disposition and
Development Agreement.
B. The Lease Structure. The proceeds of the 1987 Series A
Certificates will be used to acquire a leasehold interest in a
7-acre Lease Parcel to be used for public parking in the Shopping
• Center. Homart, which owns the parking site, will lease the Lease
Parcel to the Agency pursuant to a Site Lease. The Agency will
sublease the Lease Parcel to the City pursuant to the 1987 Series A

free parking for the public and for the purpose of sub-subleasing
the Lease Parcel to Homart pursuant to the Operatiny Agreement.
C. Security Features
1. Annual Appropriations. The 1987 Series A Certificates are
secure y annua appropriations from the City's General
Fund. The annual lease payments of approximately $965,000
ased on current market rates) represent approximately 3% of
the City's 1987/88 General Fund.
2. Revenues from the Project Area. The 1987 Series A COPS will
result in the generation of revenues which are estimated to
more than replenish the City's General Fund. These revenues
are in the form of (i) real property tax increment, which is

3. Sales Tax Guaranty. Homart is furnishing a Sales Tax Guaranty
through 1996 which will require them to make a payment to the
City if the sum of the annual increment sales tax, increment
property tax, and cumulative tax surpluses is less than the
City's Lease Payment obligation. The amount that Homart is

5. Reserve Fund. The 1987 Series A COPS will include a reserve
fund in an amount equal to 10~ of the COP amount.
II. 1987 Series B Certificates
A. Project Description. The 1987 Series B Certificates are being
issue to re un the outstanding City of Chula Vista 1982
Certificates of Participation (Parking Facility) in the approximate
amount of $3,135,000, to provide $1,300,000 for court improvements
to South Bay Regional Center and to provide $1,300,000 for General
Fund Capital Improvement Projects.
The Parking Facility and site were leased by the City to Imperial
Plunicipal Services Group in relation to the 1982 Certificates of
Participation. In order to accomplish the proposed refunding, it
will be necessary for Imperial to execute an Assignment Agreement
which will assign all of its interests and rights to the Parking
Facility and site to the Redevelopment Agency. Proceeds of the
1987 Series B Certi fi Cates wi 11 then be deposited i n escrow i n an
amount sufficient, together with interest earnings thereon, to
fully pay the 1982 Certificates in 1592, the first redemption
date. It is estimated that the refunding will result in total debt
service savings in the amount of over $1,000,000 during the life of
the Certificates.
• Proceeds in the amount of $1,300,000 from the sale of the 1987
Series B Certificates will be used to satisfy the Agency's capital
improvements obligation to the County. The County agreed to permit
the Agency to retain tax increment revenues generated from the
Project Area i n exchange for the Agency' s assistance i n financing
construction of court improvements to the South Bay Regional Center.
Finally, proceeds also in the amount of $1,300,000 will be used to
assist in financing General Fund capital improvement projects. The
Public Safety Communications center has a total budget of
$1,110,700 ($488,700 in 1987/88 and $622,000 in 1988/89) and the
Police Crime Laboratory has a budget of $355,750 in 1987/88. The
major portion of the financing for these projects may be i ncl uded
in the Certificates, thus spreading the financing over several
years rather than reducing the General Fund reserves by $1.3
million in one year.

annua appropriations that the City will covenant to make from
its General Fund. The annual lease payments, approximately
$920, represent approximately 2.5°6 of the City's 1987-88
General Fund. However, the amounts attributable to the
refunding portion alone are fully reimbursed through tax
increment revenues generated out of the Agency's Town Centre I
Redevelopment Project and the amounts attributable to the $1.3
million County contribution are projected to be reimbursable
through excess property tax and sales tax increment revenues
from the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project.
2. Capitalized Interest. The 1987 Series B issue includes one
year o un ed interest.
3. Debt Service Reserve Fund. The 1987 Series B issue will
include a debt service reserve fund in an amount equal to 10%
of the COP size.

FISCAL IMPACT: Certificates of Participation in an estimated total amount
of $16,725,000 are to be issued in Series A and Series B:
Series A Series B
Project Expenses $7,150,000 $5,735,000
Capitalized Interest 1,230,000 398,000
Reserve Fund 967,000 706,000
Costs of Issuance & Discount 323,000 216,000
$9,670,000 $7,055,000
The Series A Certificates will be issued for a 25-year term (2012) and the
Series B Certificates issued fora 15-year term (2002).
Sources of Revenue for Debt Service Payments
Series A Certificates - It is anticipated that the incremental property tax
and sales tax revenues generated from the Project will offset the debt service
requirement for Series A (Shopping Center parking) and also contribute toward
debt service on Series B.
Series B Certificates - Currently the City receives tax increment payments
each year from the Redevelopment Agency Town Centre I Project in an amount
sufficient to pay the debt service on the 1982 Parking Facility Certificates.
This practice will continue following the refunding with the issuance of the
1987 Series B Certificates. Since the Parking Facility refunding makes up 55%
of the Series B issue, 55% of the debt service on the Series B Certificates
will continue to be funded by payments from the Town Centre I Project.
The source of debt service payment for the principal portion included in the
Series B issue for financing court improvements ($1,300,000) is anticipated to
come from increment sales tax and property tax revenues in excess of the
amount required for debt service payments on the Series A Certificates. This
is as was contemplated when the Agency entered into agreement with the County
whereby the Agency will receive tax increment revenue from the Project Area.

There is also the possibility that excess increment sales and property tax
revenues could fund the debt service for the remaining portion of the Series B
issue ($1,300,000 for General Fund Capital Improvement Projects). If not, the
funding would come from General Fund revenues. Financing the $1,300,000 in
the Series B Certificates will result in an annual debt service of
approximately $185,000 as opposed to reducing the General Fund reserves by
$1.3 million during 1987-88.
