Review Regular Agenda of April 27, 2015 <br />37 <br />38 Item 2A) Consider Resolution No. 15-44 Awarding the Sale of General Obligation <br />39 Bonds, Series 2015A - The City's financial consultant, Terri Heaton of Springsted, Inc. <br />40 distributed information on the sale of the bonds that occurred earlier in the day. She <br />41 stressed that the results were very favorable for the City. The bond issue amount <br />42 dropped (with the work of staff and the approval of the council) and the bond interest rate <br />43 bids were low. The low bid came in at 2.08 percent, under the estimate, and that will <br />44 result in savings to the taxpayers in repayment. <br />45 <br />
