Fee 3.7 Lot 1 and 2, Block 1, Jones Simple Acres]Addition Radio&TV Commission $450,000.00 _ �C st Estimated Closing $13,000.00 $463,000.00 This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water and Sewer Fund.Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program(CP)will be used to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued.To the extent resources other than the Water and Sewer portfolio are used to provide interim financing,the Water and Sewer Fund will be charged interest that is equivalent to the overall rate of return being earned by the City portfolio(currently approximately 2.3 percent annually).Should the City's portfolio not support the liquidity needed to provide an interim short-term financing source,another funding source will be required,which could mean issuance of securities under the CP Program or earlier issuance of Water and Sewer revenue bonds than is currently planned.Once debt associated with this project is sold,bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached Reimbursement Resolution. The City Council approved the Water Department's Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Five Year Capital Improvement Plan on September 17,2019.The City Council approved plan includes this specific project,with funding identified through the CP program to be reimbursed with future revenue bonds.In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Management Policy Statement,Staff anticipates presenting revenue-supported debt issuances to City Council for consideration within approximately three years. If that does not occur,the costs will no longer be reimbursable by issuing tax- exempt debt and the funding source will have to be made whole through budgetary methods.Adoption of this resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability to reimburse the City from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
