BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT, RESOLUTION and
ORDINANCES FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the issuance and
sale of Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA)
Lease Revenue Bonds (Bonds), lease and leaseback of real
property between the City and MICLA; and, creation of a special fund
to record accounting transactions.
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. ADOPT the accompanying Authorizing RESOLUTION, attached
to the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated January 8,
2026, attached to the Council file, which authorizes the
issuance and sale in a principal amount up to $255 million of
MICLA Bonds, Series 2026-A (Capital Equipment and Real
Property), to be sold on a negotiated basis; and, authorizes the
execution and delivery of related bond documents in connection
with the issuance and sale of the Bonds.
2. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
January 9, 2026, approving the lease and leaseback of certain
real properties by and between the City and MICLA in
connection with the issuance of Bonds by MICLA, to be issued
to retire certain maturities of commercial paper notes issued by
MICLA.
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated
January 9, 2026, adding Section 5.162.57 to Article 2.5,
Chapter 9, Division 5 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code to
create a special fund related to the Bonds to be issued by
MICLA, in one or more series, preliminarily named the
Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles Lease
Revenue Bonds, Series 2026-A (Capital Equipment and Real
Property), with such additional series and subseries
designations as determined by the City, to record certain
accounting transactions related to the Bonds.
4. INSTRUCT 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 2026-A
(Capital Equipment & Real Property)”.
5. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections and
adjustments as necessary to those transactions included in said
CAO 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 $255 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
within the Capital Finance Administration Fund (Fund No. 100/53).
The resulting semi-annual lease payments will be due on April 15 and
October 15 in sufficient amounts to pay semi-annual debt service
payments for the Bonds. There is no additional General Fund impact
as the first lease payment will occur in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of
the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount up to $255 million, along
with the associated lease payments, will not cause the City’s debt
service obligations to exceed six percent of General Fund revenues
for non-voter-approved debt, as required by the City’s Financial
Policies. After the issuance of the Bonds, the projected non-voter
approved debt ratio is estimated to be 2.40 percent in FY 2025-26
and 2.73 percent in FY 2026-27, as detailed in Attachment B of said
CAO report.
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 average annual debt

approximately $318.8 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 non-voter approved debt ratio is
estimated to be 2.40 percent in FY 2025-26 and 2.73 percent in FY
2026-27, as detailed in Attachment B of said CAO report. |

COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR AND MEMBER, ENERGY
AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE, relative to terminating the
Removing Barriers to Recycling (RBR) Program component of the
RecycLA solid resources franchise hauling contracts.
SUBMITS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION the following
recommendations of the City Administrative Officer (CAO):
1. FIND that the City cannot continue funding the RBR Program.
2. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) to:
a. Terminate the RBR Program provision of the RecycLA
personal services contracts for exclusive franchise
commercial and multi-family solid resources collecting and
hauling for all 11 zones Citywide, encompassing the
following agreements:
i. Arakelian Enterprises, Inc. dba Athens Services (C-
128879)
ii. Consolidated Disposal Service, LLC dba Republic
Services (C-128880)
iii. Universal Waste Systems, Inc. (UWS) (C-128881)
iv. USA Waste of California, Inc. dba Waste
Management (C-128878)
v. CalMet Services, Inc. (CalMet) (C-128875)
vi. NASA Services, Inc. (NASA) (C-128876)
vii. Ware Disposal, Inc. (Ware) (C-128877)
b. Provide written notice of termination to the RecycLA
service providers with termination of the RBR to occur on
January 31, 2027, upon the anticipated expiration date of
the current contracts listed above, with notice to occur at
least one calendar year prior to the effective termination
date.
c. Complete all audits of the RBR Program, address any
discrepancies including any reimbursements owed to the
City, issue liquidated damages as appropriate, and pursue
the resolution of outstanding liquidated damages owed by
current RecycLA service providers through the RBR
payment reconciliation process and other means, as
necessary, prior to the termination of the contracts on
January 31, 2027.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO)
reports that adoption of the above recommendations would activate a
required one-year notice period for RecycLA service providers to
terminate the RBR Program by January 31, 2027 and could mitigate
costs to the Citywide Recycling Trust Fund (CRTF) by up to $2.49
million per month should new waste collection contracts not be in
place by February 1, 2027, which may then result in an equal amount
of savings to the General Fund in reduced subsidies and
appropriations required to support CRTF obligations in 2026-27.
Adoption of the above recommendation to instruct the BOS to seek
any owed reimbursements and resolve outstanding liquidated
damages due to the City prior to the expiration of the current RecycLA
contracts may result in additional revenue to the CRTF and further
reduce its reliance on the General Fund, impacts of which are
unknown at this time.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the above
recommendations pursue compliance with the City's Financial
Policies in that, to the extent possible, current operations will be
funded by current revenues, and that special funds are to reimburse
the General Fund for all direct expenditures and related costs
provided to support their programs. |
