REFUNDING OF BONDS

County Administrator Ray Bockman sent a memo dated August 1, 2002 to the committee providing a brief explanation of the recommended referendum. (A copy of which is placed on file in the Finance Office along with a copy of these minutes.) Mr. Morreale asked when the original bonds would have been retired. Mr. Hanson said that they were issued in the fall of 1995 and were set to retire in December of 2004. Only the last two years of the bonds are callable. Mr. Pritchard inquired as to the possibility of extending the time-frame for paying back the new bonds. Mr. Hanson replied that since this is a "current refunding" the time period can not be extended. The net savings to the County by going ahead with this transaction would be about $12,000.

 

Ms. Tobias moved, seconded by Mr. Wilson to sell bonds in par amount of approximately $840,000.00 to currently refund its outstanding 1995 Series A and Series B "Alternate" General Obligation Bonds. Motion carried unanimously by a voice vote.
