Industrial Development Corporation 2016 Annual Report Presentation documents: IDC agenda memorandum. Presenter(s): Elizabeth Morrison, Director, Corporate Finance, and Scott Bertram, Supervisor, Corporate Financial Analysis. Ms. Morrison and Mr. Bertram presented the 2016 Annual Report, noting the following relevant information: The IDC was established in 1982 under Chapter 39.84 RCW for the purpose of facilitating industrial expansion through tax-exempt financing in King County. The Port's IDC is not the lender, but acts as a conduit. Debt issued through the IDC is the sole responsibility of the company issuing the debt and is nonrecourse to the Port and the IDC. Bond proceeds go directly to the borrowing company and debt service is paid to a trustee. The IDC was very active between 1982 and 1986, and has declined since the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. There are currently two projects for which companies maintain outstanding debt. Crowley Marine Services has $8,700,000 in debt, which matures in 2021, and Delta Air Lines has $66,025,000 in debt, which matures in 2030. As tax rates increase, tax-exempt financing through the IDC becomes more attractive. As they decrease, such financing becomes less attractive. Commissioners asked about applicability of IDC financing to establishment of educational facilities, such as vocational skills centers, and to workforce housing. 4.
