Resolution

Approve Resolution 2286, a Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Improvement Warrants and Exchanging them for $1,315,000.  Refunding Improvement Bonds of 2021.

Mike Manstrom of Colliers stated the interest rates are low right now and it’s a good time to for some significant savings.  We came in with a 1.19% interest rate for the next ten years, you’re currently at 3%, that’s a $95,000 future value savings.  That was probably directly relating to the A1 rating which was reaffirmed by Moody’s.  That’s a very good rating for a community of this size.  Ohnstad-Twichell prepared the resolution today authorizing the sale as $1,315,000, we are paying off $1,275,000.  The balance of $40,000 is cost of issuance, bond counsel feels and printing the registration of bonds.

Commissioner Gulmon moved to approve, seconded by Commissioner Bishop.  Motion carried.
