What is the Statewide Communities Infrastructure Program? • Statewide Communities Infrastructure Program (SCIP) is a pooled tax exempt bond financing program which can finance impact fees and public improvements for private developments • The bonds are issued by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) which is a JPA sponsored by the League of California Cities (LCC) and California State Association of Counties (CSAC) to promote bond programs of public benefit to its members • Any City/County/Special District can participate in SCIP • SCIP has issued $350 MM in bonds since its inception in 2003 • SCIP has expanded to include stand alone CFD financings
Who Uses SCIP? • SCIP currently has 70 local agency members which consist primarily of cities and special districts • SCIP provides local agencies a means of offering competitive financing to all developers as a turn key solution which minimizes local agency staff time • Developers use SCIP for a variety of reasons: • Can be part of the capital mix of debt, equity, public financing • Provides off balance sheet/land secured non recourse debt • Can provide competitive advantages with respect to land acquisition costs • SCIP can finance projects which range in size from $250,000 up to $20,000,000 or higher • SCIP provides diversity to investors and economies of scale to its participants which ultimately translates to competitive interest rates and lower costs
