CR 10-096 Authorize Call of a Serial Bond for TIF District 2-1• September 7, 2010ClLy of 11OJklil Council Report 2010-096 AUTHORIZE CALL OF A SERIAL BOND FOR TIF DISTRICT 2-1 Proposed Action Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Adopt Resolution No. 2010-051 authorizing the redemption of callable General Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2005A, in Tax Increment District 2-1. Adoption of this motion will result in the bonds being called on February 1, 2011. This is a partial maturity but will fully retire the TIF 2-1 portion of the bonds. Overview The City of Hopkins issued G.O. Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2005A in 2005. The one remaining serial bond issued for TIF District 2-1 is callable. The cost of calling the final bond is $205,000. Tax Increment District 2-1 has the capacity to call this bond in 2011. The savings of interest on this bond is $7,175. This TIF District has been decertified, all developer obligations paid and this is the final obligation of this TIF District. Primary Issues to Consider • Since TIF District was decertified in 2010 there will be no tax increment collections in 2011. Adequate funds are available to pay both the 2011 and 2012 maturities. After the bonds are fully matured the TIF 2-1 fund will have approximately $76,000 remaining. These funds will be distributed pursuant to the 2010 TIF Legislation. Staff Recommendation Finance recommends adopting the resolution redeeming the callable bond described therein.
