3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying Lease/Leaseback
ORDINANCE, dated September 14, 2023, attached to the Council
file, providing for the issuance of lease revenue bonds by the

notes issued by MICLA, by approving the lease and leaseback of
certain real properties by and between the City of Los Angeles and

4. REQUEST the Controller to create an account in the Capital
Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53) that will be used to
pay for future lease payments entitled “MICLA 2023A (Capital
Equipment and Real Property)”.
5. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make
technical corrections and adjustments as necessary to those
transactions included in this report to implement the Mayor and
Council intentions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the Bonds
in an aggregate principal amount up to $210 million will be payable from
lease payments to be made by the City to MICLA pursuant to the Lease
Agreement, which is an obligation of the General Fund, subject to annual
appropriations in the Adopted Budget. The resulting semiannual lease
payments will be due on April 15 and October 15 in sufficient amounts to
pay semiannual debt service payments for the Bonds. The lease
payments will be paid from funds in the Capital Finance Administration
Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The first lease payment will be due on April 15,
2024. There is no additional General Fund impact as sufficient funding is
provided in the 202324 Adopted Budget to pay the first lease payment.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the
Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $210 million and the
payment of the supporting lease payments will not cause the City’s debt
service payments to exceed six percent of General Fund revenues for
nonvoter approved debt as established in the City’s Financial Policies.
After the issuance of the Bonds, the projected nonvoter approved debt
ratio is estimated to be 2.68 percent (Attachment B), attached to the CAO
report dated September 15, 2023, attached to the Council file.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Bonds will be payable
from lease payments to be made by the City pursuant to the Lease
Agreement, which is a General Fund obligation. These lease payments to
MICLA will be annually budgeted in the Capital Finance Administration
Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The Bonds will be sized and sold such that the
lease payments will be in sufficient amounts to pay debt service on the
Bonds as and when due. Based on current market rates, the average
annual debt service for the Bonds is estimated to be $13.9 million over 20
years, through May 1, 2043. The total debt service, including total principal

Recommendation for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF
THE MAYOR:
APPROVE the recommendations contained in the City Administrative
Officer (CAO) report dated August 14, 2023, attached to the Council file.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that transfers, appropriations,
and expenditure authority totaling $26.75 million are recommended in its
report. Of this amount, $11.91 million is for transfers, appropriations, and
expenditure authority for the Bureau of Street Services, $5.87 million for
the Department of General Services, $3.75 million is for transfer,
appropriation and expenditure authority for Los Angeles Police
Department and $5.22 million for other City funds. All transfers and
appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues.
There is no immediate General Fund impact for operations and
maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations (CAO report
dated August 14, 2023, Attachment No. 4).
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions
recommended in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of Municipal
Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) debt is a General Fund
obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of Municipal
Facilities Capital Improvement Projects approved in the 202324 and
202122 Adopted Budgets would cause the City to borrow $131,406,967
at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 20 years. The issuance of
MICLA for the reauthorization of Municipal Facilities/Los Angeles
Convention Center (LACC) Capital Improvements Projects with expired
authority beyond the City’s ThreeYear Spending Policy would cause the
City to borrow $26,035,717 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate
over 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the 202324 Municipal
Facilities and LACC Capital Improvement Projects is $263,493,966,
including interest of approximately $106,051,282.
During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is
$13,174,698 over 20 years. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization
of capital equipment acquisitions for various City departments approved
in the 202324 and 202223 Adopted Budget would cause the City to
borrow $97,572,391 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 10
years. The total estimated debt service for the capital equipment
acquisitions is $129,447,114, including interest of approximately
$31,874,723. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual
debt service is $12,944,711 over 10 years.
Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market
conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO cannot fully predict what
interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City’s Debt
Management Policy, the City has established debt ceiling to guide in
evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for nonvoted
direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The
202324 Adopted Budget non voterapproved debt ratio is 2.54 percent.

Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 9781133. For Telecommunication Relay
Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.
Telecommunication Relay Services
Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in
technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing,
and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced
telecommunications methods, both for peertopeer and thirdparty telecommunications relay service (TRS)
communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech
disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers generally telephone companies are compensated
for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.
What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the
equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIYBased TRS; SpeechtoSpeech Relay Service; Shared NonEnglish
Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service.
Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunicationsrelayservicetrs.
Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is
the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a
person who is deaf, hardofhearing, or has a speech disability.

Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an item not
listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a twothirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the posting of an
Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may be called "special"
by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on the Council agenda
have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public has requested to speak
on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.
The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example, all
items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed agenda. The
Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or more of these items. If
anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this section will be voted on by
Council with one roll call vote.
PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda items for
which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the Multiple Agenda
Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak for up to one minute
per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative total of 20 minutes is a
reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular meeting.
The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be limited to
one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The Council shall not
discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.
If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the SergeantAtArms with
35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized by the
Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the original
motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question
have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited to a maximum
of three (3) minutes.
A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this motion
will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council (8
members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the agenda will
require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes to be adopted.
Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on first consideration. If
an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The votes required for
approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8)
affirmative votes upon second consideration.

motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question

When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must vote for
or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any member of
Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or where an
intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the prevailing side of
the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the next regular
meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the agenda number, Council file
number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require an affirmative
vote of eight (8) members of the Council.
When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the matter, or
has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular meeting for the
purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.
The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other designated
officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the Council action. A
motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires the City Clerk to forward
the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.

5. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make
technical corrections and adjustments as necessary to those
transactions included in this report to implement the Mayor and
Council intentions.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the Bonds
in an aggregate principal amount up to $210 million will be payable from
lease payments to be made by the City to MICLA pursuant to the Lease
Agreement, which is an obligation of the General Fund, subject to annual
appropriations in the Adopted Budget. The resulting semiannual lease
payments will be due on April 15 and October 15 in sufficient amounts to
pay semiannual debt service payments for the Bonds. The lease
payments will be paid from funds in the Capital Finance Administration
Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The first lease payment will be due on April 15,
2024. There is no additional General Fund impact as sufficient funding is
provided in the 202324 Adopted Budget to pay the first lease payment.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of the
Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $210 million and the
payment of the supporting lease payments will not cause the City’s debt
service payments to exceed six percent of General Fund revenues for
nonvoter approved debt as established in the City’s Financial Policies.
After the issuance of the Bonds, the projected nonvoter approved debt
ratio is estimated to be 2.68 percent (Attachment B), attached to the CAO
report dated September 15, 2023, attached to the Council file.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Bonds will be payable
from lease payments to be made by the City pursuant to the Lease
Agreement, which is a General Fund obligation. These lease payments to
MICLA will be annually budgeted in the Capital Finance Administration
Fund (Fund No. 100/53). The Bonds will be sized and sold such that the
lease payments will be in sufficient amounts to pay debt service on the
Bonds as and when due. Based on current market rates, the average
annual debt service for the Bonds is estimated to be $13.9 million over 20
years, through May 1, 2043. The total debt service, including total principal
and interest, over the life of the Bonds is estimated to be approximately
$277 million. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on
market conditions at the time of issuance. After the issuance of the Bonds,
the projected nonvoter approved debt ratio is estimated to be 2.68
percent (Attachment B).

THE MAYOR:
APPROVE the recommendations contained in the City Administrative
Officer (CAO) report dated August 14, 2023, attached to the Council file.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that transfers, appropriations,
and expenditure authority totaling $26.75 million are recommended in its
report. Of this amount, $11.91 million is for transfers, appropriations, and
expenditure authority for the Bureau of Street Services, $5.87 million for
the Department of General Services, $3.75 million is for transfer,
appropriation and expenditure authority for Los Angeles Police
Department and $5.22 million for other City funds. All transfers and
appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues.
There is no immediate General Fund impact for operations and
maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations (CAO report
dated August 14, 2023, Attachment No. 4).
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions
recommended in the report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of Municipal
Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) debt is a General Fund
obligation. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization of Municipal
Facilities Capital Improvement Projects approved in the 202324 and
202122 Adopted Budgets would cause the City to borrow $131,406,967
at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 20 years. The issuance of
MICLA for the reauthorization of Municipal Facilities/Los Angeles
Convention Center (LACC) Capital Improvements Projects with expired
authority beyond the City’s ThreeYear Spending Policy would cause the
City to borrow $26,035,717 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate
over 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the 202324 Municipal
Facilities and LACC Capital Improvement Projects is $263,493,966,
including interest of approximately $106,051,282.
During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is
$13,174,698 over 20 years. The issuance of MICLA for the reauthorization
of capital equipment acquisitions for various City departments approved
in the 202324 and 202223 Adopted Budget would cause the City to
borrow $97,572,391 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over 10
years. The total estimated debt service for the capital equipment
acquisitions is $129,447,114, including interest of approximately
$31,874,723. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual
debt service is $12,944,711 over 10 years.
Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market
conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO cannot fully predict what
interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the City’s Debt
Management Policy, the City has established debt ceiling to guide in
evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for nonvoted
direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The
202324 Adopted Budget non voterapproved debt ratio is 2.54 percent.
The issuance of debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed
the six percent non voter approved debt limit.
