Item 7
Mayor Dahl introduced Finance Director Dennis Feller who stated that
Springsted had been asked to evaluate the City's outstanding debt to
determine if it would be cost effective to refinance several bond issues.
Refinancing the old debt at a lower interest rate would result in significant
savings in interest over the life of the bonds.
Dave MacGillivray, Chairman of Springsted, was present and detailed the
bids that were opened today for the bond sales and identified the
benefits of each sale in net value of savings for the City. The current low
. bond market, as well as the re-confirmation by Moody's of Lakeville's Aa2
bond rating, produced advantageous bids and interest rates. The net
value of the proposed refinancing is approximately $388,000.
Staff and Springsted are recommending Council consider three resolutions
authorizing refinancing of several existing bond issues.
07.5 Motion was made and seconded to approve the following:
Resolution No. 07-13 authorizing issuance, awarding sale, prescribing the
form and details and providing for the payment of $2,265,000 General
Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2007A;
Resolution No. 07-14 authorizing issuance, awarding sale, prescribing the
