5.3. SR 12-22-2003MEMORANDUM Item # '5.3.* TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Lori Johnson, Finance Director DATE: December 22, 2003 SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Calling for Redemption of Outstanding General Obligation Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1994B, Dated June I, 1994 and General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1994D, Dated July I, 1994 The attached resolution calls for the prepayment of sewer revenue and library tax increment bonds. Whenever possible, bonds are either re£manced or called (prepaid) to save interest costs or to restructure debt to better fit cash flows or upcoming bonding needs. These issues are being called because there is sufficient cash in their respective funds allowing for a savings in interest expense. There is currently $660,000 outstanding on the 1994B Sewer Revenue bonds that have a scheduled maturity of February 1, 2009. The interest rates on this issue range from 5.4 to 5.8 percent. There is adequate cash available in the sewer fund to prepay this issue and still leave enough for any emergency repairs or capital outlay items that may be needed. The upcoming improvements including the digester cover and head works will most likely be bonded but at a lower interest rate than this existing debt. The interest savings by calling the 1994B bond is $99,880, excluding interest earnings on the cash that would be used to make these payments through maturity in 2009. The series 1994D Tax Increment bonds funded a portion of the library expansion. There is currently $105,000 remaining on this issue that has a f'mal maturity of February 1, 2007. Because landfill surcharge revenues have come in much higher than anticipated and additional tax increment funds were available, there is enough cash in the library fund to prepay this issue. There will still be funds available in the hbrary fund if an opportunity to purchase additional land for future expansion presents itself. The interest savings by calling this issue is $9,552.50, excluding any interest that would have been earned on the cash until maturity in 2007. Action Requested City Council is asked to consider the attached resolution calling for the redemption of outstanding General Obligation Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1994B, dated June 1, 1994 and General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1994D, dated July 1, 1994.
