AGENDA STATEMENT ,7 item No.
For Meeting Of 2/17/98
ITEM TITLE: Ordinance authorizing the issuance of .
Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds 1
SUBMITTED BY: John Hanson, Director of Finance and Budget, 575 -6070
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: i Jensen, Accountant, 576 -6639
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
At the February 3rd regular City Council meeting, Council directed staff to return as soon
as possible with an ordinance authorizing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds
sufficient to provide $1.4 million to fund a portion of the $2,000,000 Street Program
included in the 1998 budget. It is necessary to issue Councilmanic Limited Tax General
Obligation Bonds in an amount up to approximately $1,430,000. The $30,000 is staff's best
estimate of total issuance costs, plus a small contingency. The ordinance now before you
• authorizes the Director of Finance and Budget to prepare a Preliminary Official Statement
and issue and sell bonds. The Bonds would be dated March 1, 1998, and mature on June 1,
2008 (10- years, 3 months). If market conditions remain where they are now we can
estimate annual debt service to be no more than $178,000 in 1999 through 2008. In 1998
debt service could be as little as $75,000 which is below the 1998 Budget estimate. Attached
at the back of the ordinance is an estimated debt service schedule. Annual debt service is

coming from two sources; first, the Street Division has committed $122,000 annually for
the next ten years. The difference will come from unobligated 1 /4% real estate excise tax in
the Public Works Trust Construction Fund. If market conditions deteriorate before we can
sell the bonds, the ordinance leaves the City the options of either delaying the sale if better
conditions are . expected, or extending the term of the issue slightly with a callable portion
to keep annual debt service low.
The remainder of the funding for the project is as follows:
$ 200,000 in interfund contributions
$ 400,000 in anticipated grant funding
$1,400,000 LTGO Bonds
$2,000,000 Total
Upon passage of this ordinance, the Finance Department, along with Bond Council and
the City's underwriters, will begin preparation of a Preliminary Official Statement,
hopefully market the bonds on or around March 16th, 1998, and return to City Council on
March 17th with a purchase offer resolution for the bonds. Settlement and delivery of
funds would occur in early April.
