Summary

Staff recommended adoption of Resolution 2024-14 to authorize a competitive sale of roughly $16,000,000 in general obligation bonds (sale projected 02/24/2025, projected interest ~3.5%) to meet short-term financing needs; council voted in favor.

The City manager summarized Resolution 2024-14 as an authorization for a competitive public sale of approximately $16,000,000 in general obligation bonds to meet short-term financing needs and preserve flexibility for eventual permanent financing.

"This is a resolution authorizing the public sale of approximately $16,000,000 in general obligations," the City manager said, adding that staff projects the sale in late February 2025 with an estimated interest rate of about 3.5 percent and that the resolution would allow designated city officials to take the actions necessary to complete the sale and subsequent closing in March 2025.

Staff recommended adoption; the Clerk recorded roll-call approval with council members voting in favor as recorded in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: Staff will proceed with steps to engage underwriters and execute the competitive sale consistent with the resolution language and the timeline noted in the meeting.
