Board hears PFM on borrowing parameters, votes on borrowing resolution and hears budget amendment dissent

Nov 4, 2024

PFM Financial Advisors detailed parameters for two promissory-note resolutions setting not-to-exceed interest costs at 6%; the board approved one requiring a simple majority and later approved a three-quarters initial-resolution for $15.5 million. Supervisor Rossi opposed parts of the budget, warning reserves and operational planning were inadequate.

The full story

Kristen Hansen of PFM Financial Advisors briefed the board on two borrowing resolutions. Resolution 2024-64 (parameters for sale of up to $17,110,000 in general obligation promissory notes) would finance the first phase of a marina project and part of the 911 communications project; Hansen said the parameters include a not-to-exceed true interest cost of 6 percent, a competitive-sale approach, and a debt-service schedule that front-loads principal for assets with shorter useful lives such as 911 equipment.
