Measure W Citizens’ Oversight Committee
Thursday, April 21, 2022
On Sunday, April 17, 2022, staff received five questions from the public.
A) Are there enough members to form an oversight cmte ? Who are they, what are their
names?
https://www.ssf.net/government/boards-commissions - Information can be found under
Membership
B) How often are the Measure W Oversight meetings going to be held?
https://www.ssf.net/government/boards-commissions - Information can be found under
Meetings & Locations, currently held via teleconference only
C) Who will conduct the meetings?
The committee is staffed by the Finance Department and generally conducted by the
Finance Director
D) Will the cmte report on the revenues/expenditures of the .5ct tax for the period of 2020
to present ?
Yes
E) Please describe /explain the types of bonds purchased and backed by the sales
tax. The amount of bonds left to purchase ? What is the maturity date of bonds and the
total amount owed? What is the full name of the Authority formed by the City Council in
order to purchase bonds? Explain how the City is using new infrastructure (police bldg
dispatch) built to further purchase bonds for other capital projects the City is planning.
In December 2019, the City of South San Francisco and the Parking Authority of the City
of South San Francisco entered into a Joint Powers Agreement to form the City of South
San Francisco Public Facilities Financing Authority (the “Authority”). The Authority will
assist in financing public capital improvements undertaken by either member. The City
Council will serve as Board of Directors of the Authority.
The Authority issued two lease revenue bonds totaling $130,315,000 to finance the
police station, community civic campus, streets and other capital projects. Currently,
there are $129,380,000 of bonds outstanding. The final maturity of the bonds is June 1,
2046. The Authority is considering a third bond financing later this year for the aquatic
center, multi-purpose sports field and other capital improvements at Orange Memorial
Park.
The City pledges various capital assets as collateral to bondholders during the
construction period of new projects. After a project is completed, the underlying asset
will be used as security for the lease revenue bonds.
