HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 18, 2007 City Manager CommentsContinued July 18,2007
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Krueger stated the trustee has requested the
note be extended after the original five-year period expired. City Manager King stated the
interest rate is competitive, cash flow is sufficient, and the arbitrage ability is good.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce requested the note be paid as quickly as possible or spread
out equally over the course of several years.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Krueger stated, from a cash flow standpoint
and the fact that the cost is negated by the arbitrage, staff is fine with the recommended
extension.
