SUBMITTED BY: Finance BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council issued the 2007A General Obligation Improvement th Bonds for Jade Road, 8 Avenue, and East Side Improvements. Council approved the 2014 debt management study presented by Monte Eastvold, Northland Securities bond advisor. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 2007A street improvement project bonds were issued with a contingency that was not used. Part of the Jade Road project was completed for ARCON’s development including the Kennedy Community School. ARCON was assessed their portion of the public improvements. The assessments have been paid off, a portion with late fees. With the unused contingency, assessment fees and other early assessment payoffs, the bond fund has a large enough fund balance to call the bond early on December 1, 2014. The early call opportunity will result in interest savings of $18,151. After paying off the bond, the residual bond funds (fund 341) of approximately $214,000 will be placed in the debt service reserve fund (fund 390) and can be used for any purpose. The Council approved using $50,000 of this money to relieve WAC/SAC fees for new owner-occupied single family homes in 2014.
