                                          BASIS FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET


            The 2020-21 Proposed Budget for the Capital Finance Administration (CFA) Fund relates to current year funding
            as follows:




                                                                        Amount                % Change

                     2019-20 Adopted Budget                       $         255,251,449

                     2020-21 Proposed Budget                      $         240,004,935

                     Change from 2019-20 Budget                   $         (15,246,514)           (6.0%)




            The CFA  Fund is  a special  purpose fund established to consolidate long-term  City  debt  financing program
            expenditures,  excluding general  obligation bonds  and  revenue bonds.  These financing programs  mostly  use  a
            lease or "lease purchase" paid from General Fund appropriations and the sale of public securities (either lease
            revenue bonds, notes, or certificates of participation) to acquire various facilities and capital equipment items for
            use by City departments.

            The CFA  Fund  is  administered by  the City  Administrative Officer. Budgeted within the  CFA Fund are the  lease
            payments  required by  each financing's  lease  and  trust  indenture,  as  well  as  any  trustee fees  or  other
            administrative expenses required under the terms of the financing.  All unencumbered balances remaining at the
            end of the fiscal year revert to the Reserve Fund.  All items within this budget are a requirement of the respective
            leases and trust indentures. The financings were primarily issued through the Municipal Improvement Corporation
            of Los Angeles (MICLA).

            BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

            The Proposed Budget reflects the following line items:
               1. The final lease payment for the MICLA Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2009-C (Capital Equipment) paid in
                   2019-20 (line item no. 2).

               2. The final lease payment for the MICLA Lease Revenue  Bonds, Series 2009-D (Recovery Zone Econ.
                   Dev. Bonds) (line item no. 3) paid in 2019-20 as a result of their refunding by the MICLA Lease Revenue
                   Bonds, Series 2019-B (Real Property).
               3. A  one-time,  $5  million  budget  reduction  to  Refunding  of  Commercial  Paper  (line  item  no.  35)  by
                   structuring the MICLA 2020 Bonds, which are expected to be issued in August 2020, to have a single
                   debt service payment in fiscal year 2020-21 and amortizing the second debt service payment over the life
                   of the bonds.

               4. A one-time, $5.5 million budget reduction to MICLA 2016-B (Refunding) (line items no. 19 through 22) by
                   applying unexpended bond proceeds from the MICLA 2016-B Bonds to the November 2020 debt service
                   payment.
