He told the Council the most inexpensive way to currently finance City facilities was the use of gener- al obligation bonds, which were naa at around 6.9 percent. Though a lease purchase system of financing city facilities was gaining in popularity and the bond cost would be only about one half percent higher than general obligation bonds. No referendlun before the voters would be necessary in a lease pt;irhase of a City facility. He went on to state that the money spent on the lease cysts must fit within the City's levy limits, while a general obligation bond's payments and interest can be paid from a special levy. Mr. Pinscher closed his discussion by stating that a lease purchase agreement to build a new City Hail could speed up construction and completion of such a structure because the City .could pick the contractor they .want to build the project without going through a system of competitive bidding. Significant discussion follaaed and involved the feasibility of transferring the o~mership of the land of the proposed. new City Hall to a private concern during a lease period, the time involved to put together a lease purchase package and the actual total costs of a new City Hall in c~nparison to our current facilities. 88.86 Nation was made by Harvey, seconded by Nelson to authorize staff to work with Bob Pinscher, Financial and Tuschie N~ont- gomery, Architects to obtain a more cxmrplete floor plan, architectural rendering and financial estimates of a proposed new City Hall for Council Review.
