Adoption ofthis motion will result in the bonds being called on August 1, 1999. Overview The City of Hopkins issued Taxable General Obligation Redevelopment Refunding bonds in 1992. Two of the serial bonds issued are now callable. The cost of calling the bonds is $310,000. Tax Increment District 1-1 has the capacity to call these bonds this year and continue operating in a positive cash environment. The savings of interest on these bonds is $18,562. The lost earning potential of using the funds to call the bonds is approximately $12,375. This is a net savings of approximately $6,187. Primary Issues to Consider The financing of the serial bonds, issued in 1992 from TIF 1-1, was done with the intention of calling bonds 0 if enough tax increment revenues are generated in the appropriate amount of time. The district has the working capital available to call the bonds and to maintain a healthy balance for projects and future debt service payments. The bonds that are callable have an interest rate of7.5% and mature on February 1,2000 and August 1,2000. By calling the bonds early we are saving the difference between what finance can earn on the principal amount of the bonds and what the interest charge is on the bonds. Currently, investments are earning about 5% interest. As stated previously, the approximate savings' is $6,187. Staff Recommendatnon Finance recommends adopting the resolution calling the bonds described therein. Supportin$!
