Thomas, and yor Bridges, Danny Carolyn Adkins Spindle, Freddy Inman,. OTHERS PRESENT: Lloyd Henderson, Mary Jo Stover, Dan Almon, Ken Smith, Debbie McGuire, Joyce Parrent, and Teddy Inman. 1. The minutes of the April 18, 1983 meeting were approved as printed. 2. Thomas made the motion to approve disbursements in the amount of $30,430.47. Spindle gave the second. Voted unan. 3. Mr. Dan Almon and Mr. Ken Smith with Rauscher Pierce, Rfnes., discussed the options for selling the City's municipal electric bonds. Mr. Almon suggested that Council might consider something other than the historical bond issue. He stated that the bond covenant says you must meet a test of 1.5 times the principle and interest covered on all issues in terms of net revenues. The City had difficulty in meeting this test on the last issue and the audit for the last twelve month period will not meet the test. The City might want to consider a non -voted issue or issue a junior lien bond. On the junior lien bonds you get the same or better rate. On parity bonds the City would have to pledge a revenue bond tax. The City could also have a refund on all revenue bonds. Sell the new refunded issue to include the new bond package. The advantage is the City could dispose of the old bond order and start with a new order. Mayor Cole asked Mr. Almon if this would increase the interest rates on the bonds. He replied it would on some but would lower on the most recent issue. Mayor Cole explained to Mr. Almon that an individual has stated he was interested in buying the entire issue. Almon stated he was certainly in favor of exploring this option. Mr. Almon further explained to Council that the City's bonds did not have to go out for bids. He stated the City could negotiate with his firm or the individual. He recommended to Council they go with an all or nothing sale. -- Council requested Mr. Almon to start the advertising proceedings in order to be on target if individual declined the purchase. 4. Consideration was given to the Wednesday Study Club Hostess Program Agreement. Mayor Cole stated he didn't think the City should enter into an agreement with anyone. He stated he would like to request that Council pass over this item. He called for a motion to approve or disapprove this item. No motion was made. Item passed over.
