Harold McInroe reviewed the revised bond sale schedule. RNL briefed the Council that we were proposing to move our bond sale from a January-to-January schedule to a summer-to-summer bond schedule. This will also allow us to move up some projects. The reason for the new schedule is that under the constraints of the Peveto Bill we are not allowed to budget for expected bond sales. The bonds must have already been sold and delivered before we can include their repayment costs in the calculated tax rate. Our new projected debt service requirement will be 18.45¢. This is lower than the projected amount ..
