915 2017 TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES DEBT SERVICE FUND
The 2017-18 Proposed Budget for the 2017 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN) Debt Service Fund relates to current year funding as follows:
2016-17 Adopted Budget 2017-18 Proposed Budget % Change Debt Service – Pension Fund $ 624,207,013 $ 650,069,679 4.1% Debt Service – Retirement Fund 466,265,648 457,403,872 (1.9)% Debt Service – Cash Flow (Interest Only) 5,156,084 6,067,107 17.7% Total Debt Service $ 1,095,628,745 $ 1,113,540,658 1.6%
The 2017 TRAN Debt Service Fund is a special purpose fund established to pay debt service on notes issued to fund both the City’s annual contribution to the Fire and Police Pension Fund (Pension Fund) and the Los Angeles City Employees’ Retirement System Fund (Retirement Fund) as well as to alleviate the short-term cash flow deficits occurring early in the fiscal year when certain taxes and revenues have not yet been received.
Part of the 2017-18 appropriation to the TRAN Debt Service Fund includes the payment of the entire debt service on notes issued in relation to the Pension and Retirement Funds. Issuance of these notes will permit the City to make the entire annual contribution to the Retirement Fund and the Pension Fund in July 2017. This early payment will allow both the Pension and Retirement Funds to earn additional interest that will be used to discount the required City contribution without reducing the Funds’ annual receipts.
As explained in the section for the Pension Fund, the appropriation of $650.1 million in the Debt Service Fund is the estimated cost of repaying the entire principal and borrowing costs on the notes issued for the pension contribution for 2017-18.
As explained in the section for the Retirement Fund, the appropriation of $457.4 million in the Debt Service Fund is the estimated cost of repaying the entire principal and borrowing costs on the notes issued for the retirement contribution for 2017-18. The special fund portion of the retirement contribution ($102.2 million) will be paid by the proprietary departments (Airports and Harbor) and the pension systems (Los Angeles City Employees’ Retirement System and Los Angeles Fire and Police Pensions). The contribution also reflects the true up adjustment for the prior fiscal year resulting from the reconciliation of budgeted covered payroll with actual covered payroll.
The Controller’s Office has requested $400 million in temporary cash flow borrowing. The issuance of these notes will permit the City to provide effective cash flow management for the City’s General Fund, the cost of which is less than borrowing internally from special funds. The principal portion of the TRAN for cash flow purposes has not been appropriated in the Budget, since this principal is treated as temporary borrowing rather than as an expenditure. The cash flow appropriation of $6.1 million is only for the interest portion of the debt service on the notes.
The principal and interest on the TRAN will be paid from the City’s General Fund revenues set aside during the fiscal year. Issuance of the TRAN for pension, retirement and cash flow are combined to achieve efficiencies and will not contribute to the overall indebtedness of the City. The total savings from the pension and retirement prepayment is approximately $37.3 million. After incorporating costs of issuance, the total net savings to the General Fund of issuing the TRAN is approximately $21.4 million.
