The Series 2015A-2, B-2 and C-2 interest rate swap was an e ective hedge under the Dollar-O set Method in scal year 2017-2018
with an inception to-date variance of 82.28%, so the swap is recorded at fair value on the Statement of Net Position as a deferred
in ow and a noncurrent liability. No investment gains or losses are recorded for mark-to-market changes for this e ective hedge.
Variable Rate Water and Sewer System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2015A-3, Series 2015B-3 and Series 2015C-3 The City
entered into a forward starting oating-to- xed interest rate swap agreement (the “swap agreement”) with Citigroup, Inc. on
January 18, 2006, to become e ective on April 19, 2007, with the issuance of $40,000,000 Water and Sewer System Revenue bonds.
In August 2015, the City issued variable rate water and sewer system revenue refunding bonds. The net proceeds were used to
refund the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2007B. At the same time, the interest rate swap agreement was amended and
restated. The 2015 interest rate swap transaction was structured to establish a swap oating rate equal in all material respects to
the oating rate for the Series 2015 Bonds. The underlying variable index for each of the Series 2015 Bonds and 2015 Swaps is 69%
of one-month LIBOR. Therefore, when taken together, the oating rate on the Series 2015 Bonds, the oating rate on the 2015
Swaps and the xed rates on the 2015 Swaps will produce a “synthetic” xed rate. The synthetic xed rate for the Series 2015 A-3,
2015 B-3 and 2015 C-3 is 3.706%.
Under the swap agreement e ective August 19, 2015, semi-annually on each June 1 and December 1 the City pays Citigroup, Inc.
interest at the xed rate of 3.706% on the notional amount of the Series 2015A-3, B-3, and C-3 Bonds. On or after August 19, 2015,
Citigroup, Inc. pays the City an alternative oating rate of 69% of the USD-LIBOR-BBA.
As of June 30, 2018, the agreement had a negative fair value of $5,333,451. The fair value was developed by Citigroup, Inc. using the
zero coupon method. This method calculates the future net settlement payments required by the agreement assuming that the
current forward rates implied by the yield curve correctly anticipate future spot interest rates. These payments are then discounted
using the spot rates implied by the current yield curve for hypothetical zero-coupon bonds due on the date of each future net
settlement on the swap. The City may terminate the swap with 30 days written notice to Citigroup, Inc. Should the City exercise its
option to cancel the swap, the City shall have su cient funds to pay any Settlement amount. The fair value of this interest rate swap
is categorized as a Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. (Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices
available in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be
determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.)
