Approval of this resolution requires a simple majority vote of the City Council. BACKGROUND The General Obligation Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2004B were originally issued in the amount of $7.9 million for the first phase of the water treatment plant. In 2011, the city refunded $3.5 million in principal payments due in 2019 -2025 with a much better interest rate, resulting in the city saving $200,000 over the life of the bonds. On August 1, 2014, payments for the remaining four years are callable and the principal totals $1,575,000. Staff considered refinancing the final four years of payments, which would result in a $30,000- $40,000 savings for the city. The current interest rate on the upcoming bond payments is 4.0% - 4.2 %. Instead, staff is recommending paying off the entire balance, which will result in a $130,000 savings for the city. After the city council authorizes the call of the bonds, a written 30 -day notice is given to bond holders and payment will be made in full in early September. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the call of the outstanding General Obligation Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2004B. ATTACHMENTS 1.
