St. Lucie County Water and Sewer District - Taxable Utility System Refunding Revenue Bond, Series 2020 (Not to Exceed $16,500,000.00) County Attorney Dan McIntyre along with Jay Clover, Managing Director of PFM Financial Advisors LLC, presented this item. In 2013, the County Water and Sewer District issued (2013 Bonds) to refund all of the North Hutchinson Island Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997, the Holiday Pines Water and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, and the North Island Water and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 2002. Due to historically low interest rates, the County's Financial Advisor, PFM Financial Advisors LLC (PFM), indicated that the County could achieve substantial savings by advance refunding the callable portion of the 2013 bonds. Based on PFM's review and discussions with the County staff and Bond Counsel, it was determined that JP Morgan provided the best combination of interest rate and terms most favorable to the District. PFM estimated that the refunding of the 2013 Bonds will save the District approximately $1 million dollars of net present value debt service cost or 7% of the Refunded Bonds par amount. As indicated in the PFM March 2, 2020 Recommendation Memorandum, based on the attractive taxable bonds interest rate and acceptable terms and conditions provided in their proposal, PFM recommends selecting JP Morgan as the loan provider for the 2020 Bond. The proposed resolution, if approved, will authorize the issuance of a Taxable Utility System Revenue Bond, Series 2020 an amount not to exceed $16,500,000.00. The security for the Bond is District utility revenues. The County's ad valorem revenues are not pledged for repayment of the Bond. Staff recommended that the Board approve the resolution authorizing the issuance of Taxable Utility System Refunding Revenue Bond, Series 2020 and authorization for the Chair to sign the documents 101Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 17, 2020 9:00 AM as approved by the County Attorney. Staff also recommended that the Board approve the recommendation of the County's Financial Advisor to award the proposal to finance the refunding bonds to JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Managing Director of PFM also asked the Board for direction on whether they wanted to look at securing a reduced rate for sales tax bonds also. The Board supported that effort. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation. The motion was seconded it and it passed unanimously.
