The Agency has the potential to receive upwards of $8.5 million dollars of additional monies if all of the refinancings are accomplished as presented to the Commission during the workshop. The three bond issues for which the EDA expects to receive funds are as follows: 1. Forward Current! Advance Refunding of the 1995 Series A Tax Allocation Bonds. 2. Proposed Bond Financing for the Mount Vernon Redevelopment Project. 3. Refinancing ofthe 1995 Series B Tax Allocation Bonds into an Insured Series A Portion and an Uninsured Series B Portion. It is the intent of staff to present the bond financing documents related to the first two of the proposed financings for the Community Development Commission and Council meeting of November 19, 2001. In connection with the preparation of the bond documents, the disclosures to be made in the Official Statements and the negotiations with the bond insurer, it is necessary to develop a list of potential projects to be funded from each ofthe proposed bond issues. CURRENT ISSUE The following summary presents the priority list of projects as recommended by Agency staff for each of the first two anticipated bond financings. In some instances the number of proj ects and their cost exceed the amount of potential bond proceeds, but it is desirable to include in the bond documentation an overly inclusive list in the event that one or more of the projects are delayed or are unable to be implemented. Staff will present another list of proposal to be funded from the new bond proceeds to be realized from the meeting of the 1999 Series B Tax Allocation Bonds at a later date. Forward Current/Advance Refunding of the 1995 Series A Tax Allocation Bonds 1. Five Level Parking Garage - Phase II of seismic retrofit - 2. HUB Project - Supplemental funding for acquisition cost overruns - 3. Downtown parking structure on F Street 4th to 5th - 4.
