I01. Res. 5929 - BOI Loan - Woodland Park Playground EquipmentCity of Kalispell KTeleALISPELL post Office Box 1997 -Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 phone (406) 758-7701 Fax - (406) 758-7758 REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager FROM: Rick Wills, Finance Director SUBJECT: Resolution No. 5929 — Authorizing Loan with the Montana Board of Investments for Annual Purchases of Budgeted Equipment MEETING DATE: August 19, 2019 — Regular Council Meeting BACKGROUND: During those times when the borrowing rates have been advantageous to the City, it has utilized the Montana Board of Investments (BOI) Intercap Loan Program to assist it in making purchases of needed equipment. This helps the City in managing the consistency of its cash flows. The use of this program was anticipated and calculated into the fiscal year 2019 budget presented and approved by the Council. The maximum amount of the loan is $100,000 and is for a term of up to five years. The initial rate is 3.37% and may be adjusted annually by the BOI based upon the market. The City may elect, at any time, to prepay the loan upon giving 30 days' notice. The interest obligation on the loan begins upon making a draw and only to the extent of the draws that are made. As of this date, the Parks Department has completed the purchase of equipment needed for replacement of the Woodland Park Playground, for $97,772. It is the intent to make a draw on the loan for this amount, thereby assisting the Parks Fund with its cash flows. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 5929, a resolution authorizing participation in the Board of Investments of the State of Montana Annual Adjustable Rate Tender Option Municipal Finance Consolidation Act Bonds (Intercap Revolving Program), approving the form and terms of the loan agreement and authorizing the execution and delivery of documents related thereto. FISCAL IMPACT: The debt service on the loan proceeds is currently 3.37% and may be adjusted annually. The City may elect to prepay the loan at any time if it becomes apparent that the advantage of the cash flow control is outweighed by the cost of loan. The initial annual debt service will be approximately $23,000.
