“Our business is at 1024 Main Street.  We’re sorry that we couldn’t make it to the Board of Public Works meeting last week on time, but my husband did get here at 7:00 and the item was already covered. 

 

We ask that you reconsider the recommendation of the Board of Public Works concerning the parking on the south side of Main Street between 10th and 11th Street.  If people are parking in front of the neighbors’ driveway, they should call police rather than harm the businesses who have employees and clientele.  We don’t feel it was our business people who are blocking the driveway.  If this was the problem, they should have come to us and we would have corrected the problem. 

 

In 1995 the City Council approved our location, and the number of parking spaces that were required for the space we utilize in the building.  Parking on the north side of Main Street would seem to be more hazardous for the elderly and others who would prefer to park on the street and for those turning left into our driveway and waiting for oncoming traffic.  If there is someone parked on the north side, there would not be a passing lane to go around, and they could get rear ended. 

 

We use three parking spaces in the front of our office building.  Never has anyone from our office ever parked in the neighbors’ driveway.  Some people prefer to park on the street so they don’t get their vehicles banged up from people opening their doors.  During the winter, due to snowfalls, we lose up to possibly 3 parking stalls from the snow plows just like all other parking lots.  We asked our renters’ employees not to park in the parking lot on the busy days of the week to allow our clients to have parking spots in the parking lot. 

 

Today we drove down Main Street and found 15 cars parked on Main Street from 2nd to 12th Street.  Cars were parked in front of other businesses, as you would expect.  We turned onto Main Street from 10th Street and found no vehicle obstruction even though three cars were parked there.  The only obstruction was the snow plow between the driveways for The Wharf and the driveway. 

 

If your problem is Sunday, and it sounds like that is the case, the neighbors should have talked to the church leaders and they could have informed the parishioners of the problem.  Also, the church members could use our parking lot on Sunday to eliminate the problem.”

 

Mayor Bialecki called three times for anyone wishing to address the council.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPROVAL AND/OR POSSIBLE ACTION FROM THE FOLLOWING COMMITTEES/COMMISSIONS/BOARDS:

 

Item 6 – FINANCE COMMITTEE:

 

A.    Resolution 16-2008 – Resolution authorizing the Sale of $3,280,000 General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds.

 

Motion by Ald. Olson, second by Ald. Muth, upon recommendation of the Finance and Personnel Committee, to approve Resolution 16-2008 – Resolution authorizing the sale of $3,280,000 General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds.

 

Fred Buehler introduced Brad Viegut from Robert W. Baird & Company to present the sale of the General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds.

 

Brad reported, “I’ve handed out a packet just before the meeting started that has a summary of the sale bid results as well as the underwriting of the note anticipation note, and that encompasses the overall capital improvement program financing plan for the city for 2008, and I can walk through that.

 

The first page after the cover is a summary of the resolutions and there are 2 resolutions you’ll be considering on this borrowing this evening.  The first is a General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bond – that’s the longer term financing for city related projects.  That’s in the amount of $3,280,000.  That’s going to mature between October 1, 2009, through October 1, 2027, and the first interest will be budgeted for next April, April 1, 2009 interest.  Moody’s affirmed the city’s AA-3 Credit Rating, and this issue was qualified for bond insurance by FSA.  You may have heard there is some concern in the market about insurance agencies – recently many were downgraded.  There’s really 2 primary agencies left that are in the business of insuring municipal bonds with the AAA Rating, and they’ve been more and more selective, as you can imagine – they have a much greater volume of work and they just don’t have the staff really to evaluate the credits of all the municipalities that are seeking bond insurance.  So it is nice to see that the city was qualified for the insurance at a reasonable fee.  And the winning bidder on this was Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, with the interest rate of 3.8895%.  The note anticipation note is the $220,000 piece of the overall financing for the city. 

 

That piece, again, as a reminder, is for projects that were not eligible for bonding – bonding meaning that there are more than 10 years of repayment.  So what we’ve done is we carved out the first 2 years of repayment of the shorter term obligation, funded those projects not eligible for bonding in an effort to keep the overall bond size attractive to the greatest number of investors – the greater the bond size, the greater the interest from underwriters.  So, that’s why there’s such a difference between the issue size on those two pieces. 

 

The note anticipation note is going to mature in 2010 and 2011, and the first interest for that will also be April 1, 2009, and Moody’s also assigned the AA-3 rating for that note anticipation note.  Now with the note anticipation note there weren’t public bids taken – this issue was underwritten directly by Baird where Baird went out to investors and secured the best interest rates that we could find, the best market rates available.  The recommendation for that method of selling this issue is because of its small size – at $220,000, you probably wouldn’t see much interest from any underwriters to come in and submit a bid in a competitive basis, so we felt that the city would get the most attractive overall financing package by going with a public sale on the bond issue, which is your past practice for your General Obligations, the negotiated method on the note anticipation note. 

 

I put together on the next page a summary of the bids that were received for the bond issue and you can see there were 5 bids that came in with Stifel Nicolaus being the lowest bid in terms of the interest cost – and I just want to point out how close these bids are together.  The second place bid submitted by Baird is 3.89% compared to 3.88% for the interest rate submitted by Stifel Nicolaus.  And even the last bid, the highest bid at 3.99% is just 11 basis points, or .11% higher than the winning bidder – so a very condensed set of bids that came in.  I’m confident – what this tells me that this is a good indication that this is where the market interest rates are, when you have 5 bids this close together, you can feel confident that you’re getting market rates on that competitive sale. 

 

And then I’ve updated on the following page the overall long-term financing plan of the city and this gives the detailed repayment schedules.  But what I really want to point out here is as we carved apart the $220,000 piece from that larger bond issue, which was initially set at $3.5 million, part of the reason we did that again was to minimize the overall costs – minimize issuance costs and total repayment cost.  When we had first started budgeting for this financing plan back in November, as you started developing your capital improvement program budget, the estimate for the interest repayment was $1,819,000, compared to how the rates came in with this final set of bids after we carved these 2 issues out, interest repayment is $1,632,000, so $187,000 less than what was initially anticipated when we had one combined issue, and that includes the impact of the issuance cost as well. 

 

So overall a very successful financing program that’s come together – it’s meeting the expectations that were laid out from a budgeting perspective and the presentation made back to the Finance committee and finally I did attach on the last two pages Moody’s updated report of the city’s credit.  AA-3 credit, again, is a very high credit quality rating.  Some of the factors they site on assigning that rating is the historically strong financial operations of the city which is expected to remain solid, your rapid rate of tax base growth here in the city, an average debt burden is sited in the first paragraph.  Towards the end of the report they talk about your debt burden being slightly above average.  I’m going to continue to work with Moody’s and investigate exactly what they’re getting at there.  My hunch is they’re including some of the CDA debt that was done for a separate project outside the city’s normal capital borrowing, but I will report back to Mr. Buehler for more information on that.

 

Overall though, a very good bond sale; I’m very satisfied with these results, and I think it reflects the quality of the city’s credit rating and its access to the market.”

 

Mayor Bialecki thanked Brad along with Fred and others at City Hall for their efforts this past year and said, “This will assist us in going in the right direction and maintaining that bond rating.”
