IIj 1) Authorize Staff to terminate current agreement with Pacific Trust 2) Authorize Staff to contract with the Bank of California to perform Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent functions for the COP issue. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: In September 1987 , the City paid Pacific Trust Company $4,046. 30 for annual fees associated with servicing the 1985 COP issue. Under the proposal from the Bank of California, the City would have paid $3,141.50 (including the one time $500 start up fee) , which would produce a savings to the City of approximately $905. 10. DESCRIPTION Recently, the City Council approved the use of the Bank of California to function as the Registrar, Transfer Agent , Paying Agent and Trustee for the 1988 Certificate of Participation issue on the Civic Center project. Staff anticipated that Pacific Trust Company would continue to function as the Transfer Agent, etc. , for the 1985 issue. Within the last week, the Underwriters for the 1988 issue identified some advantages to the Bank of California in their managing both the 1985 and the 1988 issues. The Bank subsequently submitted a proposal to Staff to perform the function of Paying Agent , Transfer Agent and REgistrar for the 1985 Certificate of Participation issue. A comparison of the Bank of California' s proposal to the existing fee agreement with Pacific Trust will result in an approximate savings to the City each year of $1,400. To simplify the process of managing the outstanding 1985 COP' s through the escrow account, and to provide a savings to the City over the life of the 1985 Certificates of Participation, Staff recommends that the -Council authorize Staff to terminate the Pacific Trust Company agreement and to contract with the Bank of California for the services of Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. • COPIES TO: ITEM NO FEE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT; made and entered into this day of 1987, between the hereinafter called "ISSUER" and THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA N.
