The Board of Water Commissioners will hear this matter at their regularly scheduled meeting of Tuesday February 4, 1986 at 9:30 a.m. for recommendation to the Mayor and Common Council.

This action simply refers the matter to Ways and Means so that it may be reviewed by Council in an orderly and timely matter with adequate time before the Refunding deadline. 75-0264 C I T Y 0 F SAN B ERN A R DIN 0 INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM 8602-601 TO: Herbert B. Wessel, General Manager FROM: Bernard C. Finance Kersey, Director, Administration & SUBJECT: SEWER REVENUE REFUNDING BOND ISSUE - $2,600,000 DATE: February 3, 1986 (6609) COPIES: ------------------------------------------------------------- In March, 1984, Sewer Revenue Refunding Notes were issued for two (2) years in the amount of $2,600,000. The notes mature March 15, 1986. A meeting was called on Friday afternoon, January 31, 1986 with Craig Graves, City Treasurer, Jeff Kinsel, Miller & Schroeder, Tim Sabo, bond counsel, and myself to discuss the issuance of the refunding bonds neces- sary to payoff the outstanding note. Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series I, II, and III, were refunded in March, 1983. Due to the financial condition of the Sewer Fund and high interest rates in the bond market, refunding revenue notes were issued in lieu of refunding revenue bonds. The initial revenue notes, in the amount of $2,600,000, were issued for a one (1) year term, maturing March, 31, 1984. In March, 1984, new refunding revenue notes were issued to refund the initial notes. Again, there was heavy activity in the bond market, artificially raising interest rates and there was additional consideration to melding the outstanding balance on the notes with another issue, to provide matching funds for the Solids Handling Improvements at the plant. Since the issuance of the second set of refunding revenue notes, the bond market and the interest rates are very favorable to issue the long-term refunding revenue bonds to refund the $2,600,000 of outstanding notes. There is no requirement to raise any additional revenue at this time through the sale of long-term bonds, since the sale of Sewer Capacity Rights in September, 1984 raised sufficient revenues for the near term capital improvement projects at Wastewater, excluding tertiary treatment. Attached for your information is a schedule for the issuance of the refunding bonds. It is recommended that the Board approve the issuance of $2,600,000 refunding revenue bonds, that the term be for a INTEROFFICE HEI10RANDUM: SEWER REVENUE REFUNDING February 3, 1986 Page 2 8602-601 BOND ISSUE - $2,600,000 period of fifteen years, and that all costs of issuance of said bonds be paid from the Sewer Fund Operating Account. Further, it is recommended that the Secretary be authorized to prepare necessary information to submit to the Mayor and Common Council to authorize and approve Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds in the amount of $2,600,000. .
