Bonds $142,000 $213,000 $705,000 - $3,000,000 It is important that financing be secured on a timely basis so that funds are available for payment of the first construction contract voucher requests which are estimated for July 15, 1993. To accomplish this it is necessary for the City Council to approve a public bond sale. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph, (612) 447,4230 I Fax (612) 447-4245 AJ~ EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLDYER BACKGROUND: The Council directed the Citr's engineering department to prepare a feasib1lity report on November 2, 1992 pursuant to Resolution 92-36. On February 16, 1993 the Council adopted Resolution 93-05 accepting the feasibility report and called for public hearings to be conducted on 3/15/93 and 4/5/93 (continued to 5/17/93) . Upon the conclusion of these hearings all the above referenced projects were approved as the Council adopted Resolutions 93-13, 93-16 and 93-29 ordering these improvements. DISCUSSION: Bids will be undertaken over the course of the next several weeks as plans and specifications are finalized. Assuming the bids received are within the projection of the engineer'S estimates and the Council awards bids, authorization for a bond sale in an anticipated amount of $3,000,000 would be necessary to finance the construction and other related costs. To facilitate the availability of drawdown funds with planned construction activities, the financing process will involve establishing the bond sale for Monday, June 21, 1993 with publication in the Northwestern Financial Review on June 5th and in the Prior Lake American during the week of June 7th. This will allow for the bond proceeds to be delivered the first week of July. On a number of occasion~ in the past the city has insured its bond 1ssuance through MBIA (Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corp.) in an effort to obtain a AAA bond rating. This strategy works well in a market whereby interest rates range above the 8% level. Under such conditions, there is enough play in the market whereby a significant interest savings can be achieved. However, in today's climate of depressed interest rates, the cost of the premium pass through by the underwriter does not justify the expense. The rate difference would probably be less than 20 basis points. Therefore, the city will NOT be purchasing the insurance because Staff feels that our present "A" bond rating will result in a very comparable and favorable interest rate. The structure of the bond issue itself is based upon the following components: Est. gross construction costs (less City contribution) Engineering (18%) Capitalized interest (5 mos.) Discount (2%) Fiscal fee Bond ratin9 Legal opinlon Bond re~istration Bond prlnting & publishing Contingency/rounding BOND TOTAL $ 2,750,000 <380,000> 470,000 65,625 60,000 17,500 4,500 4,000 3,500 1,000 3,875 $ 3,000,000 Approximately 34% of the bonds will be recovered thru paYment of special assessments. If bid today, a net effective interest rate of 5.25% would probably be a close estimate. Past practice of rounding to the nearest 1/2% above the initial 1% float would result in a project assessment rate of 6.50% for the Lime, Center and Forest Oaks improvements. The Business Office Park land would be assessed at a rate of 5.50% or 1 percent less because there is no prepayment or delinquency risk as the City has guaranteed these assessments. The bond issue will be structured 15 years in length with greater weighted average during the first ten years for all projects supported by an ad valorem tax levy plus a five year tail to account for the last five years of assessment distribution on the Business Office Park. The following is a schedule of tax levies and assessment terms and their corresponding amounts required to amortize the bonded debt: 1. 10 year ad valorem levy 2. 10 year assessment term 3. 15 year assessment term Cash Flow Total $1,992,000.00 217,000.00 791,000.00 $3,000,000.00 Enclosed is a copy of the resolution which establishes the amount and date of bond sale plus a financial services contract with Juran & Moody, Inc. is also incorporated within the document. steve Mattson will be present at the meeting to discuss the resolution and answer any questions the Council may have with respect to the bond issuance process. The special levies associated with the 1993 construction improvements are expected to generate the following approximate average annual property tax increases: TAX IMPACT MARKET VALUE HOMESTEAD $85,000 $100,000 $125,000 $150,000 AVERAGE ANNUAL TAX INCREASE $37.00 $48.50 $67.50 $86.50 ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDATION: ACTION REQUIRED: The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve Resolution 93-28 establishing bond amount and date of public sale as submitted. 2. Amend resolution to a different amount and/or date as agreed upon by the Council. time 3. Delay financing to a future determined by the city Council. 4. Table action for further consideration. as staff would recommend that Resolution 93-28 be approved for the full amount as indicated with final project funding contingent upon the successful awarding of project bids.
