            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).
