Council approves notice of intent for CO issuance and reimbursement resolution as preparatory steps
Summary
Council approved a notice of intent to issue certificates of obligation and a resolution to reimburse certain expenditures from future debt proceeds; staff said those steps are preparatory, not a final debt issuance.
Council considered two procedural items tied to a planned debt issuance: a notice of intent to issue certificates of obligation (CO) and a resolution expressing the town's intent to reimburse certain expenditures from proceeds of a future debt issuance. Staff told the council the notice is a procedural step that authorizes the town to publish required legal notices and does not commit the town to issue the debt.
Finance staff explained the timeline: newspaper notices scheduled for April 11 and 18, a statutory waiting period of about 45 days, and a potential June 26 closing if council proceeds. Staff estimated the planned program of projects at roughly $22.8 million across water, storage tanks, Public Works building and other capital needs. Council approved the notice and the reimbursement resolution by voice vote; staff will return with ordinance language if the town chooses to proceed to issuance.
Outcome: notice of intent and reimbursement resolution approved; no final debt issuance occurred at the meeting.
