BACKGROUND The City issued $4,500,000 of revenue bonds in 1995 to finance Water Fund -401 capital improvements. The outstanding balance of these bonds is $1,370,000 (face value) with the next mandatory bond redemption occurring February 1, 2012 and the last mandatory bond redemption occurring February 1, 2015. An optional redemption clause allows the City to redeem, or pay -off, these bonds at 100% of face value on February 1, 2007 and thereafter. Interest payments that would be made over this three year period (February 1, 2012 to February 1, 2015) should the bonds not be redeemed before the next interest payment date total $188,813 and represent a 4.6% per annum interest rate ($188,813 interest $1,370,000 balance 3 year period). If the bonds were redeemed on November 1, 2011, the total pay -off would approximate $1,392,690 comprised of the bond principal of $1,370,000 and the estimated accrued interest of $22,690. Under this scenario, the interest cost savings to the City would be $166,123 (total interest payments of $188,813 due February 1, 2012 to February 1, 2015 less accrued interest from August 1, 2011 through November 1, 2011 of $22,690). The Water Fund -401 had $4 million in cash and investments as of July 31, 2011. DISCUSSION The City will benefit financially by early redemption of these bonds. If the $1,370,000 were invested in a 3 -year Treasury note at today's interest rate of .35 $4,795 would be generated in annual investment earnings or $14,385 for the 3 -year period. The net benefit to the City of using these funds to pay -off the bonds would be over $150,000 represented by the bond interest cost savings of $166,123 less the investment earnings opportunity cost of $14,385. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the Early Redemption of Revenue Bonds -1995 and consider this item at the September 26, 2011 Committee of the Whole meeting and the subsequent October 3, 2011 Regular Meeting. The issue will also be presented as an information only item at the September 20, 2011 Finance and Safety Committee meeting. Attachments: Revenue Bond 1995 amortization schedule.
