John McClelland asked that Bill No. 2006-131 be tabled. They had approached
3 underwriting companies; two did not respond and they are waiting on a
response from the third, which should arrive in a few days. Alderman Super
asked what the bond issuance would cost and McClelland responded that the
best idea they could get would be a range. He said underwriter fees may vary
depending on the city's bond rating; the majority of the cost to the city is
determined by the interest rate. The underwriter fees and attorney fees make up
about 1.5% of the amount of issuance; the rest of the cost is interest.
Mayor Rose asked about having a bond counsel. McClelland said, "I am the
bond counsel." He said Armstrong Teesdale had operated in that capacity
several times. Alderman Super asked about the amount of foes IDA would
charge. McClelland said that there is anon-refundable application deposit of
$2,500 and there is a separate attorney fee. IDA's fee is in the range of $100,000
but that could be negotiable. Aldenman Super responded that "it would be nice
to know what we are committing." McClelland said he estimates it costing about
$750,000 for the initial cost of issuance. There may be interest reserve
requirements but it earns while it is held in escrow and eventually would be
returned to the City.
Alderman Darata made a motion to table Bill No. 2006-131 and Alderman
Bruns seconded.
The vote was:
Yes: Aldermen Jones, Super, Hurt, Darata, Beard, and Bnms.
