Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Sacramento Tourism Infrastructure District was formed last October for the primary purpose of levying a new business-based assessment that will be used to secure the payment of bonds issued to finance the ballroom component of the Sacramento Convention Center ("Project").
To meet some of the Project's financing needs, the City anticipates issuing Sacramento Tourism Infrastructure District Bonds ("STID Bonds") in late summer or early fall 2019. Before the STID Bonds are issued, the City expects to pay certain Project costs so that the Project can stay on schedule. Later, after the STID Bonds have been issued, the City will reimburse itself from the proceeds for those costs.
The proposed resolution declaring the City's "official intent" to reimburse itself from the bond proceeds is required by section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations ("Section 1.150-2") if interest on the bonds is to be exempt from federal taxation.
Policy Considerations: The resolution is adopted solely to comply with Section 1.150-2. It does not bind the City to make any expenditure, incur any indebtedness, or proceed with the Project.
