SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: Throughout 2014, various projects have been brought to City Council and have been approved to move forward. The updated 2014 CIP listing was reviewed in detail by the Finance Committee. This Financing Plan represents the financing needs based on those approved projects. City Council Meeting [Consent Agenda Item 13] June 3, 2014 -- page 2 -- STAFF REPORT: Tammy Omdal, Senior Vice President with Northland Securities will present the report and respond to inquiries. BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT): Strengths Provides funding for infrastructure projects at a low rate. Water projects allow for the completion of the water “loop” in 2015 resulting in better water pressure and quality for all residents. Weaknesses Large increases to debt service payments in the enterprise funds. Cash flow assumptions reviewed by the Finance Committee and represent best case scenarios and assume all developers follow through on timing as presented to Planners and Engineers. Opportunities Ability to complete the water “loop” in 2015 and provide water and sewer to new development areas of the City. Threats If developments are delayed or do not materialize, the enterprise fund may not be able to independently fund the debt service payments on the infrastructure bonding. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2014-39 authorizing the issuance and sale of $6,235,000 in General Obligation Bonds, Series 2014A. “Move to approve Resolution 2014-39 authorizing the issuance and sale of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2014A in the amount of $6,235,000” ATTACHMENT(S): 1.
