Finance Director Julie Stahl presented to Council about our positive bond sale earlier in
the day. She also informed Council that Moody's confirmed our Aaa bond rating.
Jessica Green, Managing Director at Northland Securities, also presented to the Council
regarding the bond sale. She gave an overview of the sale and announced that we received
thirteen bids and that Piper Sandler from Minneapolis is the apparent low bidder.
Council was curious as to why we received as many bids as we did. Green noted that the
size of the bonds was attractive and drew national attention. The number of bids reflected
that the City is very strong, which was further shown by Moody's rating.
