Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager

Petaluma Public Financing Authority Status Report and Audited Financials for
Fiscal Year 2015 -16.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Governing Board of the Petaluma Public Financing Authority Accept
the Status Report and Audited Financials for Fiscal Year 2015 -16.
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. This report is contained in the
City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report because PPFA is a blended component unit of
the City, for financial reporting purposes, and does not issue its own financial statements. All
activity is accounted for in the Airport Fund.
