Lakeport Redevelopment Successor AgencyCity of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District

STAFF REPORTRE: Letter in Support of Protecting Municipal Bonds MEETING DATE: 03/19/2013

SUBMITTED BY: Daniel Buffalo, Finance Director



The City Council is being asked to adopt a Resolution of the City of Lakeport authorizing the City Manager

to execute a letter of support for the protection of municipal bonds.

BACKGROUND:

The United States Congress is considering action to diminish or eliminate the tax exempt status ofmunicipal bond interest. Any plans to do so could have a negative effect on state and local governmentsand increase their costs to issue debt for capital projects, such as infrastructure improvements or expansion,compliance with regulatory requirements, or efforts to promote community safety and well being. Thisexemption has been in place since the federal income tax was enacted by Congress in 1913.

Several state and national organizations representing the interests of local government, including theNational League of Cities (NLC), the League of California Cities (LCC), and the Government FinanceOfficers Association (GFOA) have called on the federal government not to eliminate or otherwise limit thisexemption and are encouraging their memberships to contact their respective Congress Members inopposition to this notion and in support of protecting municipal bonds.

DISCUSSION:

Municipal bonds are a low-cost and efficient way for local government agencies to finance critical capitalprojects. Lakeport, as well as the County of Lake and City of Clearlake, have utilized tax-exempt financingsfor critical capital projects. The City has used such financing to construct its sewer treatment facility andimprovement thereto, the surface water treatment plant, road and other infrastructure projects, and,hopefully within the next year, a revitalization project to downtown Main Street. Furthermore, future needslikely will be financed through municipal bond issues due to the lack of available resources for such largecapital projects.

A joint report issued by the NLC, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the National Association of Countieshighlights over the past ten years that state and local governments have financed over $1.65 trillion ininfrastructure improvements using tax-exempt bonds. According to the NLC, local governments save anaverage of 25-30 percent on interest costs with tax-exempt municipal bonds compared to taxable bonds.Investors are willing to accept lower interest rates on these debt issues due to the tax benefit. If thisexemption in eliminated or diminished, local agencies will pay more to meet the needs of their communities.

Tax-exempt bonds provide a critical resource in the tool box of decision-makers at the local level, wherecitizens and elected officials can best determine where needs are greatest and where investments will

generate the maximum benefits to the community. The support letter, attached here for consideration, isbased on a letter previously sent to Congress by the LCC.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve the attached resolution and letter of support as recommended by staff.

2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:None $State and local governments would pay more to raise capital for future projects. In

Lakeport, it could affect any future debt-related projects for the water and sewer enterprises, as well as anyroad or other infrastructure endeavors.

SUGGESTED MOTIONS:

Move to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign and submit a letter and resolution toU.S. Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and Congressional Representative Mike Thompson insupport of protecting municipal bonds and in opposition to any elimination or diminishment to their tax-exempt status.

WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport, California opposes efforts by Congress and theAdministration to eliminate or limit the use of tax-exempt bonds by state and local governments orto change the ability of investors to claim the exemption;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Lakeport andthe Board of Directors of the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD) herebyauthorize the City Manager to execute a letter of support to be sent to our CongressionalRepresentatives, Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Representative MikeThompson, as well as a certified copy of the Resolution in the protection of tax-exempt financing ascritical tool in ensuring the safety and well-being of our local community.

Legislative Issue Brief

Protect Municipal Bonds

NLC calls on the federal government not to limit in any way the income tax exemption for municipal

bonds.

As the Administration and Congress look for revenue to reduce the deficit and fund programs, the federalincome tax exemption provided to interest paid on state and municipal bonds (debt) is under threat. Inaddition to increasing taxes, revenue can be raised by expanding what is subject to being taxed(broadening the base); in this case, interest paid on bonds issued by local governments currently not taxedwould be included as income.

This exemption has been in place since the federal income tax was instituted in 1913. It is the primaryfinancing mechanism for state and local infrastructure projects, with three-quarters of the infrastructureprojects in the U.S. built by state and local governments, and with over $2.9 Trillion in outstanding tax-exempt bonds, issued by 30,000 separate government units. Local governments save an average of 25percent to 30 percent on interest costs with tax-exempt municipal bonds as compared to taxable bonds.This is true because investors are willing to accept lower interest on tax-exempt bonds in conjunction withthe tax benefit. If the federal income tax exemption is eliminated or limited, states and localities will paymore to finance projects, leading to less infrastructure investment, fewer jobs, and greater burdens oncitizens who will have to pay higher taxes and fees.

The need for infrastructure investmentand the jobs that come with itis acute. Much of this need mustbe met by states, counties, and cities. Tax-exempt municipal bonds are the primary tools for doing so.

Tax Exempt Bonds Facts and Figures

With the current tax exemption, cities can issue bonds with interest payments 2 percentage pointslower than on taxable bonds.

The tax exemption has been in place since the first federal income tax was implemented in 1913and has financed trillions of dollars of public investment.

Tax-exempt bond issuance has remained stable compared to GDP over the past 10 years,averaging around 14.8 percent, and has actually declined since the 1980s. Compared to other

sector, municipal debt issuance has been the most stable and fiscally responsible.

Local government financing needs for infrastructure are increasing, not decreasing. For instance,the American Society of Civil Engineers reports that $2.2. trillion is required over the next five

years to meet physical infrastructure needs.

Over $2.9 trillion in outstanding tax-exempt bonds have been issued by 30,000 separategovernmental units.


65/72

Request for Congress and the Administration

Tax-exempt bonds are how local governments finance infrastructure projectsthey have beenaround for more than 100 years and they provide essential funding for localities.

Three-quarters of all public infrastructure projects in the U.S. are built by states and localities paidfor with tax exempt bonds.

If the tax exemption is eliminated or reduced, hometowns will pay more to finance projects,leading to fewer projects and jobs, or will have to raise taxes.
