moving on to item number seven resolution authorizing issuance awarding sale prescribing the form and details and providing them for the payment of 10 million dollars in general obligation bonds series 2023A and I believe we have Miss Green from Northland Securities welcome [7:02] Ms. Green (Northland Securities): thank you mayor council good evening we have the results of your 2023A series of bonds today I'm happy to report that we had a good showing this morning so eight bids were received overall it just is a reminder the 2023A series of bonds will be used to finance the 2023 Street reconstruction projects and then also finance a variety of the park improvements as well [7:26] we do have a couple of different structures here so with the street reconstruction portion that will be financed over 10 years with the park improvements being financed over 20. the bonds are considered a general obligation and the city will pledge a Debt Service Levy to the repayment of the bonds we did seek a rating for this issuance and the rating came back affirmed at AAA so congratulations to the city on maintaining that AAA status the rating report probably looks a little bit different than what you've seen in the past that's due to the fact that Moody's implemented some methodology change this past year but that being said they continued to comment of course on the city's strong level of reserves financial management financial position and then the wealth and income levels here in Lakeville so again congratulations on maintaining that [8:12] rating competitive sale here today so we took bids at 10 A.M. this morning again eight bids came in the low bid is from Robert W. Baird out of Milwaukee and the city likely has some familiarity with that name as we've seen them show up as a little bit before um they did bid with a Syndicate so I think when I counted I got about 25 or 26 other Underwriters bidding alongside them so a nice showing this morning that bid alongside Baird in addition to those seven other bids that were received you do have a final maturity here of February 1 of 2044 and then an optional call beginning February 1 of 2031. the par amount of the bonds has been reduced to nine million two hundred and twenty thousand that's down from that 10 [8:58] million figure that was noted in the agenda so that's why you're seeing that revised resolution come out today once the final numbers are compiled we do add that in that premium um and that is where you're seeing that adjustment to the par amount and Council again has heard us talk about premium in the past you've received premium on the last several Bond issues that you've done and that simply means that investors are willing to provide you with cash up front in exchange for a higher interest rate on the bonds so we've gone from that 10 million dollar figure down to nine million two hundred and twenty thousand the bonds are scheduled to close on July on the 20th and that will allow the city to continue moving forward with those projects with the street reconstruction also with the park improvements [9:44] I am happy to stand for any questions that you may have but I will conclude my comments there [9:51] Mayor Luke Hellier: all right Council questions comments okay very good glad to see the numbers shake out the way they did so um if not I will take a motion on resolution [9:58] Councilmember John Bermel: I move to a resolution authorizing issuance awarding sale prescribing the form and details and providing for the payment of nine million two hundred and twenty thousand dollars of General obligation bonds series 2023A [10:20] Mayor Luke Hellier: is there a second [10:21] Councilmember Joshua Lee: second [10:22] Mayor Luke Hellier: okay any further discussion on the motion being done roll call please [10:27] Ann Orlofsky: [Roll Call Vote] [10:29] City Council: aye [10:30] Mayor Luke Hellier: very good thank you very much okay moving on to items eight and nine any unfinished or new business for the council okay any announcements all right and um let's see so announcements regular meeting for July 3rd has been canceled the next work session is June 26th and that as a reminder is at the Water Treatment Facility on 185th and Ipava and our next regular meeting here in City Hall is July 17th at 6:30 p.m. and [11:16] with that I will take a motion to adjourn [11:17] Councilmember Dan Wolter: so move [11:18] Mayor Luke Hellier: okay all is in favor say aye [11:19] City Council: aye [11:20] Mayor Luke Hellier: opposed we're adjourned
