Body

Legislative History

None.

Purpose & Explanation

The purpose of this ordinance is to allow for the issuance of notes to pay for the purchase of the Windstream property. Because it is anticipated the property will be used for private development, the City needs to issue taxable bond anticipation notes. Due to a change in the law, the City is no longer required to obtain approval of the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) to obtain approval of the purchase.  These notes will ultimately be rolled into a long-term bond issue as part of the Downtown Phase II Project.
