BUSINESS FRON MANAGER
Refunding G.O. Bonds -Bond Purchase Agreement
In April 1985 the City issued General Obligation Bonds to
construct the swimming pool. The original term of the bond was
15 years and the City reserved the right to redeem the bonds
after one half of the term. The interest rate for the
outstanding bonds is 9.09%. The City now has the opportunity
October 1, 1992 to call all outstanding bonds. Since the current
market interest rates are so much lower, the City has the
opportunity to issue a new series of bonds at a lower interest
rate and use the proceeds of the new bond to pay the holders of
the 1985 bonds. The net savings to the public under this
refunding will be in excess of $65,000. The City has asked DAD
to prepare a formal Bond Purchase Agreement for the refunding in
the principal amount not to exceed $385,000 with an average
interest rate not to exceed 6%.
Williams recommended that council authorize the execution of the
Bond Purchase Agreement.
Collins moved the city manager be authorized to prepare the
execution of the Bond Purchase Agreement for the refunding in
the principal amount not to exceed $385,000 with an average
interest rate not to exceed 6%. The motion was seconded.
The motion carried with a vote.
