The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of Resolution 2020-22 which will authorize
the advanced refunding of the City’s 2010 Library Expansion Bonds.
The 2010 Library Expansion Bonds totaled $2,000,000 and were issued for to expand the Kenai

callable in October of this year.
Resolution 2020-22 will authorize the issuance of new tax-exempt bonds from which the

resulting in lower debt service over the remaining ten years of the debt. Total savings are
estimated at $84,802.69 with a present value of $75,620.08. Future debt service will be reduced
by an average of $8,480 per year.

Recommended amendment to previously adopted legislation, Resolution
2020-22 .
The purpose of this memo is to recommend amendment to previously adopted legislation,
Resolution 2020-22 which was adopted at the May 6, 2020 Council meeting. Reso lution 2020-
22 authorized the issuance of new tax-exempt bonds from which the proceeds will used to retire
the City's outstanding library expansion bonds. The new bonds will be at a lower interest rate
resulting in lower debt service over the remaining ten years of the debt.
In discussions with the City's Bond Counsel and the issuance's Financ ial Advisor a slight
amendment to the original resolution is needed to maximize the City 's savings in this refinancing .
The original resolution indicated the newly issued bonds would not commence maturing until the
year 2021 . If the year is modified to the year 2020 the City should reali ze an additional $1 ,500
in savings over the remaining 10-year life of the bonds . This amendment must be completed by
June 23rd at the latest as the bonds are scheduled to be issued on July 7th with a July 101h closing
date requiring this action by laydown .
I have reviewed the payment schedule with what was budgeted in FY2021 and sufficient funds
are budgeted to accommodate this change . $141 ,518 was budgeted in the General Fund to
service the outstanding bonds and the new debt service for FY2021 is projected to be $135,958 .
Your support for the following amendment is respectfully requested .
The following motion is suggested :
Move to amend pr eviously adopted legislation, Resolution 2020-22, by amending t he year
2021 in the second paragraph of Sect ion 4 to 2020.
