Summary:
As approved by the City Council on July 21, 2026, bids will be received on October 20, 2026 from prospective buyers of the Stormwater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2026. Accordingly, the best bid rates will be provided at the City Council meeting.
In addition to the best bid approval required above, the city’s bond counsel, Gilmore & Bell, has prepared Ordinance No. 26-49 authorizing the issuance of the bonds. They have also prepared Resolutions No. 26-1087 prescribing the form and details of and authorizing the delivery of the Stormwater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2026.
Draft copies of the above-mentioned ordinance and resolution are attached. The final version of these documents will be presented at the City Council meeting once the bids have been received and the best bid has been determined.
The City has applied for a rating for Standard and Poor’s Corporation. Revenue bonds are rated separately from general obligation bonds because the source of repayment for the bonds comes from Stormwater operations rather than the full faith and credit of the City. Standard and Poor’s affirmed the City’s AA rating.
