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 and improve various facilities and capital
equipment items for use by City departments.
The City Administrative Officer administers the CFA. 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).
