The remainder will be levied against the overall property taxes within the City. If bid today, a net effective interest rate of 5V4% would probably be a close estimate. The minimum interest rate of 8%, as per the City Assessment Policy, is to be charged on the Northwood Road assessments. The bond issue is to be dated 6/1/96 and will will be structured 10 years in length. The following is a schedule of tax levies/assessment terms and their corresponding amounts necessary to amortize the bond debt: 10 year assessment stream ... 10 year property tax levy ... Total... $358,000.00 $577.000.00 $935,000.00 TAX IMPACT: The special levies associated with the 1996 construction improvements are expected to generate the following estimated 1997 property tax increases on homesteaded residential property: Market Value: $85.000 $100.000 $120.000 $150.000 $175.000 Tax Increase: $8.62 $11.26 $14.78 $20.06 $24.46 These levies would represent a projected 2lh increase in property taxes for next year based upon a conservative 2% tax capacity valuation growth. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Approve Resolution 96-46 Authorizing Public Sale of $935,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds of 1996. 2. Delay financing to a future time as determined by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend the City Council to approve Resolution 96-46 Authorizing Public Sale of $935,000 General Obligation Bonds of 1996.
