Adopt a resolution terminating the Countywide Public Financing Authority (Authority) agreement and
dissolving the Authority upon concurrence of all its members.
DISCUSSION
In February 1996, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved for the implementation and
operation of the Orange County 800 MHz Communication System. On June 19, 1996, a Joint
Powers Agreement was established among the cities of Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, Garden
Grove, Orange, Seal Beach, Stanton, Tustin and Santa Ana in order to proportionately share the
financing of the Orange County wide 800 MHz Communications System. The 800 MHz
Communications system was to replace `the then UHF radio system which was obsolete. The
system was not encrypted, would not allow for multiple agency communication, and was limited
in frequencies.
In 1996 Revenue bonds in the approximate amount of $28 million were issued in order to finance
the various capital improvements within the boundaries of each of the participating cities.
Improvements and the bonds have been fully paid and the authority has no remaining assets,
liabilities or outstanding obligations. As such, the Countywide Public Financing is considered
inactive. The California State Controllers' Office is now requesting that any inactive Authority be
dissolved.
Bond Counsel, Quint & Thimmig, has indicated that if each city terminates the agreement and
authorizes dissolution of the Countywide Public Financing Authority, that this will suffice the
dissolution requirement required by the State Controllers' Office.
