MPWMD transferred advances in the amount of $772,347 from the Water Sales Revenue Account to the Carmel Area Wastewater District during this reporting period. Advance payments are provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.5 (a) of the Operation and Maintenance Agreement.
As provided in the Water Purchase
Agreement, the obligation of the District to make disbursements 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 disbursements be payable out of any funds or properties
of the District other than such sources.
Principal and 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 Remarketing Agent, Stone & Youngberg, determines the rate of interest. Interest rates for this reporting period have fluctuated between 1.98% and 3.55%.
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 interest payments when excess funds are available. Since there was not sufficient money in the water sales revenue account, the Pebble Beach Company made all interest payments during this reporting period.
