Supp►emental Report
June 16, 2010 Agenda
Items #20 & 21
Acceptance of offer to purchase water revenue notes
The CiTy Council will take action today on revenue notes to finance three projecu:
• Dale St Reservoir - $6,000,000
• Replacement of lead service lines -�3,500,000
• Water meter replacement - $20,35Q000
• TIC of 1.97%
• Draw schedule reduces borrowing cosu
• Favorable construction climate
. Rate stabilization - Debt cosu already
included in rates
• Loans provided through MN Public Facilities
Authoriri (PFA)
True Interest Cost (TIC) ot 1.97% lowers borrowing costs. An interest rate of 199% has been locked in for [hese loans. The
interest cost over the life of the bonds is now expected to be $t,632,337 lower than the preliminary estimate.
Com}arison ofBorrowing Costs
Interest Rate Borrowin¢ Cwt
Preliminary 220%TIC $7,738,903
Final 1.97%TIC $6,t06,566
Costs I,owered $1,632,337
Loan structure provides flexibility. The borzowing consists of two 20 year loans. Multiple loans provide the necessary
flexibiliry foc the work that will be uudertaken. Loan A($5,96Q000) will be used for the reservoir project with Loan B
($23,107,000) 5nancing the water meter and lead service replacements.
Draw schedule helps redoce borrowing wsts. I�texest begins to be charged only when the SPRWS actually makes a
"draw" on the loans to pay the construction conVactors. This draw feature helps to lower the borrowing costs. The draw
schedule assumes that the full proceeds are not used by the SPRWS until Mazch of 2013.
About the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority. The Public Facilities Authoriry brings together the tech�ical and
financial resoarces of six state agencies, all working in u�ison to help Minnesota communities build the critical
infrastructure they need to remain vital and healthy.
The authoriTy makes low-interest loans and grants available to finance infrastructure that might otherwise be unaffordable
to communities if they had to bonow money for the projects at market rates.
Since its inception in 1987, the PFA has financed more than $3.2 billion in pnblic infrastructure projects in communities
throughout Minnesota.
