COMMENTS:  This ordinance permits the City of Plano to sell General Obligation (G.O.) Refunding Bonds to refund $32,225,000 in outstanding tax supported debt at a lower interest rate, saving the City of Plano an estimated $1,511,544 in the future on a net present value basis.   The City will repay these bonds over a 15 year term - the same as the refunded outstanding debt - through the interest & sinking portion of Plano's property tax rate.  The exact amount of interest and principal to be paid will be determined by a negotiated bid process.

SUMMARY OF ITEM


Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to (i) refund a portion of the City's outstanding debt to lower the overall debt service requirements of the City, and (ii) pay for professional services of attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
