§ 100483 Vta Bond Anticipation Notes

This rule lets the VTA borrow money before its bonds are sold, using short‑term notes that must be paid back within five years.

Key Takeaways

  • •The VTA can borrow money with bond anticipation notes before the bonds are actually sold.
  • •Each note (and any renewals) can only last up to five years from when the first note was delivered.
  • •The notes must be paid back with money set aside for that purpose or with the money from the next bond sale.
  • •The total amount of notes can’t be more than the total bonds the VTA is allowed to issue, minus any bonds already sold and minus any other notes still out.
  • •Notes are sold the same way as the bonds and can have the same rules and limits as the bonds.

Example

The VTA needs cash to start a new train line but hasn't sold the bonds that will fund it yet.

The VTA can issue a short‑term note to get the cash now, promise to pay it back when the bonds are finally sold, and must pay it back no later than five years after the first note was issued.

§ 100483 Vta Bond Anticipation Notes

The VTA may borrow money in anticipation of the sale of bonds that have been authorized to be issued, but have not been sold and delivered, and may issue negotiable bond anticipation notes therefor and may renew the same from time to time, but the maximum maturity of those notes, including the renewals thereof, shall not exceed five years from the date of delivery of the original notes. The notes may be paid from any moneys of the VTA available therefor and not otherwise pledged. If not previously otherwise paid, the notes shall be paid from the proceeds of the next sale of the bonds of the VTA in anticipation of which they were issued. The notes shall not be issued in any amount in excess of the aggregate amount of bonds that the VTA has been authorized to issue, less the amount of any bonds of that authorized issue previously sold, and also less the amount of other bond anticipation notes therefor issued and then outstanding. The notes shall be issued and sold in the same manner as the bonds. The notes and the resolution or resolutions authorizing them may contain any provisions, conditions, or limitations that a resolution of the VTA authorizing the issuance of bonds may contain. (Amended by Stats. 2016, Ch. 381, Sec. 102. (AB 2196) Effective January 1, 2017.)
