Prepaid Gas
Supply Agt
With SCPPA
|
Mr. Liu, Chief
Financial Officer, Burbank Water and Power, requested Council approval to
enter into a 30-year prepaid natural gas supply agreement with the
Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA). He stated that
natural gas is an integral element of the City�s long-term electric
generating resource portfolio. He explained that the agreement will
reduce natural gas cost by $32 to $45 million over the next 30 years by
issuing a bond through SCPPA and using the bond proceeds to prepay for
natural gas. He elaborated on the benefits and risks of the agreement and
illustrated the transaction with the aid of flowcharts.
Mr. Liu informed
the Council that at the time the report was written, staff anticipated a
75-cent discount but based on recent events in the financial markets, the
discount may not be achieved. As such, he requested approval to enter
into the contract with a plan of issuing the bonds in three weeks and if
the discount cannot be achieved at that time, the bond issuance will be
postponed until the market corrects itself. He added that in the event
the market is not favorable, staff will return to the Council with a new
proposal.
