A LITTLE ABOUT US: The San Mateo County Mosquito Abatement District (SMCMAD) is an independent, property tax-funded district within San Mateo County. SMCMAD originally founded to provide mosquito surveillance and control to county residents, expanded over the years to provide yellow jacket nest removal, insect identification, and vector-borne disease surveys to participating county residents. SMCMAD is also the designated Africanized-honeybee swarn1 removal agency, pending their arrival. SMCMAD is also dedicated to educate the community with presentations to schools and agencies, as well as providing students with opportunities to gain real scientific work experience and skills. We strive to provide quality, personalized vector abatement services. We are continually testing safer, more efficient methods for vector control to better service our community.

BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION: On August 17, 2005, staff provided a preliminary estimate on the approximate sizing of a 2005-06 bond sale, and sought feedback on the potential projects to fund with those bonds. Since that tinle, staff has continued to work with our Redevelopment Fiscal Consultant (Seifel Consulting), Bond Financial Advisor (Public Financial Management), Bond Counsel (Jones Hall), and the City Attorney's Office. With final tax increment numbers now available from San Mateo County for 2005-06, an updated bond sizing capacity has been prepared for the RedevelopInent Agency. Updated projections are that the Agency can afford to sell up to approxiInately $60 Inillion in bonds as soon as February 2006, and a total of up to $105 million through 2016-2017. As interest rates change between now and the bond sale in February, the $60 Inillion could change slightly, while the longer term bond sales are more subject to change. Staff's recommended priorities for the bond sale, based on Board feedback at the August meeting, are attached. Council and Board review and approval of these priorities is requested tonight. While the first year's bond sale priorities are most critical for approval tonight, changes to future years' priorities could iInpact the recommended program for this year, so the entire program needs to be considered. Redevelopment Agencies are required to enter into debt to fund projects that foster redevelopment. The key variable in determining bond sizing is the amount of available tax increment that can be spent on a new bond's debt service, after factoring in current bond debt service obligations, mandated pass through payments, and other Agency budget commitments. Staff Report To: Honorable City Council and Redevelopment Agency Board Re: Recommended 2005-06 RedevelopInent Bond Sale Priorities Date: November 16,2005 Page: 2 of 2 Key to the bond-sizing estimate is the policy decision regarding how much the City continues to depend on the Agency to fund various City services, and for how long. The Board may recall that as part of the budget balancing efforts over the past 2 budget years, a total of $2.1 million in City services and/or debt obligations previously funded in the General Fund were shifted to the Agency. As part of the budget shift proposals, staff recoInn1ended that those shifts be considered as short to n1edium term shifts only, and not pennanent obligations of the Agency. The bond sizing estimates upon which the nUInbers in staff's recOlnmendation are based assume that those shifts will continue as they are for the next five years, building in growth of about 5% a year through 2010- 11 to cover projected salary and benefit growth in the services being funded. Beginning in 2010-11, the bond sizing nun1bers assume the Board and the Council will scale back the Agency funding of City services by $1.0 million a year, and that other, longer tenn budget solutions will be implemented. Note that changes to these types of assumptions five years out impact future bond sales only, not the $60 Inillion bond sale. The 2005-06 bond sale has been sized based on the available tax increment in this year's budget. Next Steps: With Council/Board concurrence on priorities for the 2005-06 bond sale, staff will work with our outside consultants on completing the required fiscal reports, preparing necessary rating agency presentations, and finalizing bond doclunents needed for Council and Board approval. Staff anticipates bringing bond dOCUInents back to Council as early as the second meeting in January 2006. Bonds could then be sold as early as February 2006. FISCAL IMPACT: A total of up to $60 lnillion in Redevelopment Bonds will be ready to sell in FebIuary 2006.

Bond sizing projections assume those costs borne by RDA will grow by about 5% a year. However, this recommendation assumes RDA funding of City services is reduced by $1.0 million beginning in 2010-11. Without that reduction, total bond capacity would be $90 million.
