Re: Bond Refinancing

Message:

The City's Capital Facilities Refunding Bond, Series 2003, is now callable. Margo and I have been

working together gathering quotes for a possible refinance of this bond. We received quotes

from Fifth Third Securities, Crews & Associates, Inc., and Ross Sinclaire & associates, LLC. Ross

Sinclaire has the chosen quote.

The bonds currently have five years to maturity, the outstanding principal on the bonds is

$1,245,000, the interest on the remaining coupons range from 3.6% to 4.0% and the total of the

interest to be paid is $124,930.00. The refinance rate on the coupons will be 1.5% and will save

the City $78,303.00 in interest payments. We will have $25,000.00 in issue costs, therebyrealizing a net savings of $53,303.00. The average annual debt service savings will be $10,660

and we will not extend the life of the debt, the bonds will still be retired in five years.

The necessity for this legislation to be presented and passed as an emergency is of course due

to the ever changing market rates. A rate increase of 0.10% would decrease our savings

approximately $4,000 to $5,000. We have received a preliminary schedule of events for the

issue of the bonds, and it is attached for your reference.

As always, ifyou have questions or concerns, please contact either Margo or myself.
