INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Rhonda Berry
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
DATE: August 14, 2009
SUBJECT: Revised SCORE Interlocal Agreement
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
A revision to the SCORE Interlocal Agreement is recommended as a result of
differences in bond ratings among the original "Owner Cities" participating in SCORE.
The existing Interlocal Agreement will be amended to create a new "Host Jurisdiction"
category, and remove the City of Des Moines from the debt obligation.
The SCORE cities (Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton, SeaTac and
Tukwila) signed an Interlocal Agreement in January that established the structure of
SCORE and allocated the debt service to each of the owner cities.
Part of the process of issuing the bonds includes each of the cities having presentations
with the rating agencies. Following the presentations, the rating agencies announce
rating scores for each city that will in turn create a composite rating score for SCORE.
The final rating will determine the interest rate at which SCORE will be able to borrow
money.
The City of Des Moines has traditionally used Moody's for their credit rating. Moody's
recently downgraded Des Moines' bond rating which gives the other SCORE agencies
grounds for concern.
Des Moines recently had a rating presentation with Standard and Poor's (S P).
Standard and Poor's will not indicate the actual rating prior to review, however based
upon the recent downgrade from Moody's, it is unlikely that it will be favorable.
As a multi jurisdictional agency, SCORE's overall credit rating will be derived from the
ratings of its owner agencies. Moody's has indicated that they will use a blended rate,
reviewing the credit of all of the owner agencies. However, S P has indicated that
they will base SCORE's rating upon the weakest credit amongst all of the owner
agencies, which we now believe will be Des Moines.
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Early indications are that the negative rating from S P will add between 75 and 125
basis points to the interest rate for SCORE. An increase in this range would add
between $500,000 and $850,000 annually to the debt service obligation. The effect on
Tukwila alone, over the life of the bond issue, would be in excess of approximately
$400,000.
The SCORE Administrative Board, Finance Directors, and SCORE's financial advisors
and underwriters have met to review potential options. The available options include
and the benefits of each are listed below:
Option 1 Request a rating from Fitch's rating company. As this option was explored
further, it was learned that they use the same rating methods as S P and the rating
from the lowest agency would be applied to SCORE.
Option 2 was reviewed at length. SCORE's financial advisor believes that creating a
bond reserve fund would help lessen the negative impact of a single owner cities' rating.
However, creating the bond reserve fund would require the cities to either issue
additional bonds to finance the reserve (approximately $6 million) or the cities would
have to allocate a portion of their existing reserves to the bond fund. Issuing additional
bonds will increase the annual debt service by approximately $400,000 for the
additional $6 million in bonds issued. The annual increase in debt service would
amount to a $12 million increase over the life of the bonds.
Option 3, implementing a "step -up" provision would require re- writing the ILA and would
mean that each of the cities would be obligating themselves to paying 100% of the debt
service should other cities default. The total bond amount exceeds the available bond
capacity for many of the cities. The cities that could assume that full liability felt
uncomfortable being responsible for the entire amount.
Additionally, there was mixed information about whether a step -up provision would
provide enough benefit to offset the risks or negative credit rating of one of the
agencies.
Option 4 would be to take no action. This would mean that the existing ILA would stand
which would result in significant increase in costs as identified above.
Option 5 requires the redrafting of the ILA and the creation of a new member category
known as "Host Jurisdiction." The Host Jurisdiction would be Des Moines. They would
be entitled to the same rights as the original owner agencies; however they would be
removed from the debt obligation that they have now.
The cities of Auburn, Federal Way and Renton would each increase their share of the
debt burden by two, one, and two percent respectfully. There would be a separate
agreement under which Des Moines would be tied to the cities of Auburn, Federal Way
and Renton for their obligation of the debt service.
Amending the existing ILA is not something that is considered lightly. However, it is the
option that provides the most certainty for the credit ratings and it doesn't require the
C:ltemp\XPg rpwisellnfoMemoSCORE ILARevision.doc
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
cities incurring additional debt to create a reserve. Amendment of the ILA is the
preferred option by the SCORE Administrative Board.
The attached ILA is titled "Amendment and Restatement" of the SCORE ILA. The
purpose of the restatement is to prevent the cities from having to recreate SCORE or
the SCORE Public Development Authority (PDA).
Unfortunately, the deadline to complete the amendment is very soon. In order to meet
the rating schedule, a revised ILA needs to be in place by September 14th. The bonds
are currently scheduled to be sold on October 14th and any revisions must be in effect
by that date. Three of the cities, Renton, Federal Way and Des Moines, also have a
referendum and initiative process which requires a 30 -day window before any ordinance
would be effective.
It should be noted that the revised ILA does not change Tukwila's rights or obligations
under the original Interlocal in any way. Tukwila will still be liable for the same share of
O &M and debt service expenses, as well as be credited with the same share of rental
(non- member) bed usage revenue.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to authorize the Mayor to sign the attached Interlocal
Agreement.
This item is scheduled to be discussed at the August 18, 2009 Finance and Safety
Committee meeting, the August 24, 2009 Committee of the Whole meeting and
subsequent September 8, 2009 Regular Meeting.
