The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District has transferred advances in the amount of $898,292.39 during this reporting period.  Advance payments are provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.5 (a) Payment of Operation and Maintenance.

 

As provided in the Water Purchase Agreement, the obligation of the District to make Water Payments is a special obligation of the District, payable solely from net operating revenues of the project, monies in the Revenue Fund, and other funds described in the Trust Agreement. In no event, will Water Payments be payable out of any funds or properties of the District other than such sources. 

 

Interest on Certificates

 

The interest rate on the Series 1992 Certificates was set initially at 2.30 percent per annum until December 16, 1992. On that date and weekly thereafter, so long as the certificates are in the variable mode, the rate of interest is determined by the Remarketing Agent, Stone & Youngberg.  Interest rates for this reporting period have fluctuated between 0.95% and 1.90%.

 

On June 7, 2000, the Reclamation Management Committee noted that the Capital Interest Fund, used for payment of monthly interest on the outstanding certificates would soon be exhausted.  The Committee discussed the use of water sales revenue to make future interest payments. On July 3, 2000, the Reclamation Technical Advisory Committee affirmed the use of water sales revenue for bond interest payments when excess funds are available.  No interest payments were made from the Revenue Account maintained by the MPWMD during this reporting period.  All interest payments were made by the Pebble Beach Company due to the lack of sufficient funds in the Revenue Account.  The Pebble Beach Company also made the first principal payment in the amount of $400,000 in July 2002.
