AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Consider and take action with respect to a resolution authorizing the execution of professional services agreements pertaining to the financing of certain capital improvements by The Shawnee Municipal Authority (the “Authority”), including the construction of water park improvements and municipal communications improvements and equipment; authorizing the authority’s financial advisor to distribute bid packages to prospective financial institutions in connection with the referenced financing; and containing other provisions relating thereto.
Mr. Chris Gander of BOSC, and Mr. Nate Ellis of the Public Law Finance Group, both came before the Commission to explain the financing options regarding Shawnee Municipal Pool. It was noted that it was previously thought that the construction of the radio tower on the north side of Shawnee would be included in this financing package, however, it appears that a better tower option will be a lease with Motorola. This item will appear on a future agenda. Regarding the pool financing, Mr. Gander and Mr. Ellis both noted that volatility of the market as the present time. The current interest rate today is 2.4%, however, the rate may be subject to change. It was determined by the Commissioners present that loan terms would be for seven years. The passing of the proposed resolution will allow the bond counsel to go forward with trying to secure financing.
