Status of Street Bond Fund and Interim Financing Issues
Presented the status of tho street bond fund and proposed bond
schedule designed to meet "Cash on Hand" state legislative
requirements. He identified:
Where existing funds are.
The amount of funds needed to meet expenses and legal
requirements.
Where fund transfers should occur.
Stute: Asked whether the City incurred greater cost by selling bonds
prior to entering into a contract agreement? Would it be
beneficial to the City if Jim Wilson proposed to the state
legislature that the law be amended? (Ivory: There is much
speculation concerning that question. It is more important
to focus on the merit of the project. Yes, it would be a
worthwhile effort to propoue that the law be amended.)
2) Proposed Bond Sale
Bailiff and London: Presented a recommended schedule for the sale of bonds,
and City debt service requirements. It was stated that in order
to meet State "Cash on Hand" requirements it will be necessary
to generate $61 million dollars through bond sales. A bond sale
is proposed for the year 1985.

development of streets for the project. He also identified

cost, and the assessments to be reimbursed to the City.
Ivory: Indicated that:
The street improvements/developments are needs irrespective of the

The City is not ready to make funding recommendations for this
project.
Alternatives can be devised to accommodate developers
(i.e. a phase in plan for proposed changes.)
