INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AGENDA Item No. 3 Date of Meeting 3/5/2009 DATE: February 18, 2009 TO: Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Diane Campbell, Senior Corporate Financial Analyst SUBJECT: Industrial Development Corporation Annual Report for 2008 Attached are the financial statements of the Industrial Development Corporation of the Port of Seattle (IDC). The IDC had assets totaling $ $325,872 at year-end 2008. Total income of $ 14,153 came primarily from investment income on the IDC account balance, as well as from the customer fee paid by companies with outstanding IDC debt. The IDC incurred administrative expense of $658 and economic development expense of $10,000 in August 2008 for its contribution to the Port's Economic and Trade Fellowship program. STATUS OF IDC BONDS At the end of 2008, there were three companies with outstanding IDC debt totaling $81,000,000. The IDC collects a customer fee from these companies based on their annual debt service payments. This fee is collected each year, except for Northwest Airlines, which made a lump sum payment at the time their bonds were issued. The table shows the companies, their outstanding balance and final maturity date of their debt as of December 31, 2008. Company Outstanding Debt (12/31/08) Maturity Date Sysco (refunding CCC Realty) $ 8,000,000 2025 Northwest Airlines 64,300,000 2030 Crowley Marine Services 8,700,000 2021 TOTAL $ 81,000,000 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer February 18, 2009 Page 2 of 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION The customer fee for 2008 is $824, and is lower than the customer fee for 2007 of $1,250. Since most IDC debt is variable rate, the customer fee amount fluctuates with interest rates. Interest rates declined during 2008 and are anticipated to remain at a low level for 2009. Accordingly, the customer fee for 2009 is projected to be lower than the 2008 amount. The customer fee is for debt service paid on the Sysco and Crowley bonds. The IDC will be receiving on-going customer fees from these two companies; Northwest Airlines made a one-time lump sum fee payment in 2001 when the bonds were issued. IDC assets are invested in the Port's investment pool. The IDC's allocated interest income from the pool in 2008 was $13,328; and due to the projected lower interest rate environment the investment income for 2009 is projected to be lower than the 2008 amount. The administrative expense increased to $658 in 2008. There were no other expenses in 2008. Other expense of $2,279 in 2007 is attributable to the Washington State Auditor for the audit process that happens approximately every three years. Scholarship expense was $10,000 in 2008 as requested and approved by the Board. The scholarship expense anticipated in 2009 is the economic development expense, which is the contribution to the Port's 9th annual Economic and Trade Fellowship of an estimated $5,000. (The amount may be increased at the IDC Board's discretion.) Similar to last year, staff is planning to request the approval for the expenditure in the summer. The IDC'scharter permits its funds to be transferred only to the Port. Under an amendment to RCW 39.84.130, funds of the IDC that are not otherwise encumbered for the payment of revenue bonds and are not anticipated to be necessary for administrative expenses of the IDC may be transferred to the Port to be used for growth management, planning or other economic development purposes. In order to transfer funds, the Board of Directors of the IDC needs to adopt a resolution authorizing the transfer. Any transfer of funds would reduce the assets of the IDC and the interest earnings on these assets. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the IDC maintains a minimum fund balance of $50,000 to ensure adequate investment earnings to fund annual operating expenses. Should the IDC board wish to continue the Fellowship program, staff recommends that an additional fund balance of $200,000 be maintained in order to generate sufficient investment earnings to fund the Fellowship. However, the Board may elect to use any IDC funds in excess of operating expenses needs for any allowable purpose.
