BACKGROUND The Petaluma Public Financing Authority (PPFA) was established in May 1996 as a Joint Powers Authority between the City and Former Redevelopment Agency. The purpose of the PPFA is to provide for financing Public Capital Improvements. DISCUSSION In March of 2016, the PPFA entered into a lease obligation with the City in the amount of $4,531,000. The proceeds of the lease obligation were used to retire the 2003 Certificates originally issued by the Petaluma Public Financing Corporation and the 2005 California Department of Transportation Airport Loans. The lease obligation is payable by the City each November from 2016 to 2025 and is included in the City's Annual Financial Report. Additional information was disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
