PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

Because of the current market conditions, a negotiated bond sale is advised for Special Improvement District (SID)1388. The City's financial advisor, Springsted recently completed a bond sale in Missoula MT for $800,000 for sidewalk bonds.  Springsted talked with potential bidders before the sale and was told that because of the size of the issue and the lack of an A bond rating that the companies would not bid.  DA Davidson was the sole bidder on the bond sale.

The bond issue for SID 1388 is $300,000, and will not be rated.  Because of these factors, a public sale will probably not be feasible.

Upon approval on the resolution, the negotiations can proceed for the sale of the bonds.

The Council may:
  • Approve the resolution; or
  • Not approve resolution.
