2. Background
In 2006, Pasadena Public Financing Authority issued $47.3 million variable rate bonds to refund its 1991, 1996 COPs and provide additional funds to complete capital improvements to the stadium and other facilities.
In April 2011, the outstanding balance of the bonds were directly purchased by MUFG Union bank.
In January 2013, the bonds were refunded and restructured to generate additional $30 million (taxable and tax-exempt) to complete the Rose Bowl renovations and privately placed the bonds (total of $ million) with MUFG Union Bank for a term of five years expiring on 1/2/2018.

3. Background Impact of the new tax law on pricing the bonds
Only two banks provided pricing with non-identical terms
MUFG agreed to hold the bonds past the mandatory tender date of 1/2/2018 at the negotiated price subject to City Council’s approval on 1/22/18.
The recommendation is to remarket the bonds and place them with MUFG at the new price for a term of 1 year expiring on 1/2/2019

4. Pricing of the bonds The remarketed bonds
Tax-Exempt portion ,840,000
Taxable portion ,525,000
Total remarketed bonds $52,365,000
Tax-Exempt bonds will have a rate equal to 67% of the one month LIBOR (London Interchange Bank Offered Rate) plus 80 basis points
This equates to an interest rate of 1.83% and 0.08% higher than the prior rate formula

5. Pricing of the bonds
The taxable bonds will have a rate of 2.70% compared to the prior 1.90% rate.

6. Cost of the proposed financing
The weighted average cost of this proposed financing in today’s interest rate market will be 2.04%.
Including the interest rate swap related to the variable rate portion of the bonds, the weighted average cost to the Rose Bowl will be 2.63%.

7. Recommendation
Find that the proposed action is not a project subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in Section of CEQA and section of the State CEQA Guidelines and, as such, no environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required for the project; and

8. Recommendation
