9A. Consider Approval to Award Sale of GO Bond 2019 A
Tammy Omdal, from Northland Securities, addressed the City Council.
There were 7 interested bids received for this Award Sale of GO Bond 2019 A.
Prior Lake has affirmed an AA+ Standard and Poor’s Rating. The City’s Financial Management
rating was raised to Very Strong, which is the highest rating a City can get and Omdal com-
mended staff for its long-term finical planning.
Overall for the term of the bonds it is about $110,000 less in interest expense then what the City
was planning on paying for these bonds. The rating affirmed the strength of financial management
of the City of Prior Lake and it would be her recommendation to approve the Sale of the GO Bond
2019A.
Briggs: Asked if there was a community that was comparable to Prior Lake that he could share
with the tax payers of Prior Lake.
Omdal: In Minnesota Standard and Poor’s has approximately 32 cities with an AA+ rating, out of
the 830 cities in Minnesota that they rate.
Braid: Thanked Director Erickson, and staff for a great report and a job well done.
