FUNDING SOURCE: Future issue of certificates of obligation for the purposes of improvements to Lake Parks; capitalized interest; acquisition of land and improvements; and issuance costs. BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of July 5, 2005 the City Council authorized publication of a notice of intention to sell $2,070,000 of combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation for the purposes of construction of Lake Parks improvements and payment of capitalized interest related thereto. Due to the need to rebid the Lake Parks projects, the certificates of obligation sale was rescheduled for October 18, 2005. At the City Council meeting of September 6, 2005 the City Council authorized the purchase of certain property and improvements located at 608 and 624 Dooley Street in Grapevine near the Cotton Belt Railroad for $310,000 purchase price. The amount of that purchase has been added to the principle amount of the certificates of obligation to be issued in October. The new total is $2,380,000. The appropriate amount of Lake Parks revenue will be used to pay the Lake Parks portion of the debt. Hotel/motel tax revenues will be used to pay the Dooley Street property portion of the debt. Since the principle amount has changed, Bond Counsel has advised that a new notice of intention is required. A resolution authorizing the new amount is placed on this agenda. September 13, 2005 (11:10AM) Funding from the sale of the certificates of obligation will be used as follows: Lake Parks Improvements Construction $1,638,472 Engineering and Design 207,028 Capitalized Interest 184,500 Property Purchase 310,000 Issuance Cost 40.000 $2,380,000 The sale is scheduled for October 18, 2005.
