The bond is to be matured on February 1, 2014 with a balloon payment of $6,311,999 in principal. On January 8, 2014, under Ordinance Number 2014-01-313, Council approved a six months extension delaying the balloon payment to August 1, 2014. At the May 14, 2014 Council meeting, Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and enter in to a contract for the sale of the property. A contract has been signed with a target date of closing prior to August 1, 2014.

Currently, the bond is at a fixed rate of 4.8%. The variable rate also provides the City flexibility to pay off the loan without penalty at the end of each month. The bond counsel cost proposed by the bank is $750.00 for this extension which will be paid from the City’s General Fund. Proposed Action: That Council approves the ordinance on its second reading.
