Unique Characteristics of Project: Restructuring allowed for leased asset substitution and modification to the annual debt service to allow for projected future bond financing for additional capital improvements to City facilities. The project required working with Department of Health and the Office of Public Finance to develop financing strategy that met asset allocation and budgetary constraints.
Executive Summary: The City and County of San Francisco accepted a recommendation to consider and implement a refinancing of two outstanding 2009 obligations generating over $46 million in savings through FY 2035. The refinancing related to the City and County’s Laguna Honda Hospital improvements and the street capital projects funded through a 2009A ($163,335,000) and 2009B ($37,885,000) certificates of participation. The refinancing provided a level savings structure to benefit the hospital budget planning.
