CITY COUNCIL AGENDA COMMUNICATION
AGENDA DATE: February 26, 2013
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City's
Bond Counsel, the City's Financial Advisor,
and City Staff to Proceed with Arrangements
for the Sale of General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2013.
STAFF RESOURCE: Kevin Hammeke, Chief Financial Officer
ACTION PROPOSED: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City's
Bond Counsel, the City's Financial Advisor,
and City Staff to Proceed with Arrangements
for the Sale of General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2013.
Attached is a resolution prepared by the City's bond counsel, Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., that
authorizes the City staff, financial advisor, and bond counsel to proceed with all necessary
arrangements related to the sale of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2013. The bonds are for
the purpose of providing funds for construction, acquisition and improvements for projects that
were authorized in the 2007 bond election. The dollar amount for the 2013 bond issue is
currently estimated at $5,065,000.
The City will apply to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corporation
(S&P) for ratings on the bond issue. Bond insurance will probably not be pursued since the
City's underlying bond rating is AAA from S&P and Aal from Moody's. Bond insurance
would most likely not be financial feasible.
The General Obligation bonds would be priced on May 13th and the bond sale information and
authorization to issue the bonds will be presented to the City Council at the May 14th City
Council meeting.
BUDGETARYIMPACT
Depending upon the final interest rates, the debt payment associated with the issuance of
$5,065,000 in bonds is expected to be an increase in the annual debt service amount of
approximately $341,000. The debt issuance will be structured to mature in 20 years. The debt
payments will begin in fiscal year 2014.
Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing City staff, the City's financial advisor, and
the City's bond counsel to proceed with the arrangements for the sale of General Obligation
Bonds, Series 2013.
MOTION
1 make a motion to adopt Resolution No. authorizing City staff, the City's
financial advisor, and the City's bond counsel to proceed with tire arrangements for the sale
of General Obligation Bonds, Series 1013.
