Overview: The Business Management Department is working on the issuance of $12.5 million of General Obligation (GO) bonds to fund various public improvements.  The sale of GO bonds scheduled for April 3, 2018 will be the second issuance from the 2015 GO Bond Referendum authority.  Council adoption of the attached resolution will, among other things, authorize the bond sale and approve the official offering statement.         

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council adopt the resolution authorizing the issuance of $12.5 million of 2015 GO referendum bonds.

 

Key Issues:

                     The Local Government Commission (LGC) staff will conduct the sale, receive and evaluate bids and award the bonds based on the best bid received. 

                     The draft Official Statement is available in the Town Clerk’s Office for review by Council members or other interested parties.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: The bonds will be issued for a 20-year term for the following purposes and amounts:

                     Streets & Sidewalks                                          $5.5 million

                     Parks Facilities                                              4.3 million

                     Stormwater Improvements                       2.7 million

Total                                                                       $12.5 million                     

Annual debt service for the Streets & Sidewalks and Parks Facilities bonds will be paid from the Town’s Debt Management Fund.  The Stormwater Improvements bonds will be repaid from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund.  The estimated average annual debt service for the proposed bonds is as follows

                     Debt Management Fund                     $675,000

                     Stormwater Fund                                               186,000
