HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.h Item No. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CLOSING DEBT SERVICE FUND Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve resolution authorizing closing of debt service fund 3312. Overview Minnesota State Statute 475.61, subd. (4a) provides that any surplus remaining in a debt service fund when the obligations and interest thereon are paid may be appropriated to any other general purpose by the municipality. Debt Service Fund 3312 was established in 2007 in conjunction with the issuance of General Obligation Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2007B. These bonds were issued to refund future maturities of the 1995A, 1996B and 1996C bonds. The final debt service payment has been made and the debt service fund can now be closed. There are residual balances in cash, interest receivable, special assessments (current, green acres and other), etc. Primary Issues to Consider • Funding Sources (See attached) Supporting Information Financial Impact: $ Budgeted: Y☐ N☒ Source: Related Documents: (CIP, ERP, etc.): Envision Lakeville Community Values: Good Value for Public Services Report Completed by: Jerilyn Erickson, Finance Director January 2, 2018 317,000 Debt Service Fund N/A Staff is recommending that the balances are transferred as follows with an effective date of 12/31/2017:  Cash – transfer an amount to Debt Service Fund 3313 (General Obligation Improvements Bonds, Series 2007F) sufficient to fund the 2018 (final) debt service payment and other fees. Transfer the remaining balance to the Construction Improvement Fund for purposes of funding some of the preliminary project costs that occur prior to the issuance of debt for those projects. Estimated cash balance is $98,000.  Other Accounts – transfer residual balances to the Construction Improvement Fund as noted above. The timing for collection of the assessments is uncertain due to their deferred status (green acres, etc.). Many of the assessments will expire in the coming years. Cash balances were taken into consideration when evaluating the tax levy needs for the debt service funds.
