Ayes: Five. Absent: Greenwood, Clark. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Larry Burger, Vice President of Speer Financial, Inc., reported that three bids were received on the $11,640,000.00 Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series, 2004A. These refunding bonds do not extend the life of the bonds. Mr. Burger recommended that the bonds be awarded to RBC Dain Rauscher, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois at a true interest rate of 3.4251 percent. The net present value savings was $395,154.07 or 6.831 percent of the principal amount of the refunded bonds. Mr. Burger stated that the bidders look at the Official Statement of the bonds, which includes the sewer rates, operating expenses and audit information. The bonds are FSA insured, which makes these AAA insured bonds. The revenue generated from the sewer fees guarantee these bonds so there is risk to the bidders. Mr. Burger reported that five bids were received on the $9,595,000.00 Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Taxable Series 2004B. Mr. Burger recommended that the bonds be awarded to Legg Mason Wood Walker, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois at a true interest rate of 5.0068 percent. The net present value savings was $710,685.64 or 7.407 percent of the principal amount of the refunded bonds. Mr. Burger reviewed the debt service schedule. There is $21,235,000.00 in outstanding bonds, and the city will realize $1,107,000.00 net savings. The city is required to set aside a reserve fund, usually at 10 percent of the bond principal amount. The reserve fund must be kept at that level during the life of the bonds. By combining all the bonds, the city's reserve fund will now need $1 million less. Basically, the city can reduce its reserve fund by another $1 million, which can be used for other projects. Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, reported that the city started with about $36 million in bonds with the oldest issued in 1991. The city has about $21 million left to pay. The sewer revenue bonds were issued between 1991 and 1998 to help pay for the $67 million sewer facility renovation project, which was funded by a 55 percent federal grant. Some of the 1996 and 1997 bonds were issued at 7 percent. Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Five. Absent: Greenwood, Clark. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2004-435. • 7 July 8, 2004 BOND SALE 120120 - Schmitt/Kincaid • • Page 3 that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on Notice of Sale on consideration of the proposition of issuance of not to exceed $9,595,000.00 Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Taxable Series 2004B, as published in the Waterloo Courier on June 29, 2004, be received and placed on file.
