AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Consider and take action with respect to a resolution agreeing to file application with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (the “OWRB”) for financial assistance through the state loan program, with the loan proceeds being for the purpose of refinancing certain indebtedness; approving professional services agreements; and containing other provisions related thereto. Mr. John Waldo of BOSC, Inc. introduced the item by giving some background information regarding the existing bonds. The last time this bond was refinanced was in 2003 and there is approximately $13,500,000 remaining on the debt. Previously, the bonds were paid through the Pottawatomie County Development Authority but it was Mr. Waldo’s recommendation that the City refinance directly with the Oklahoma Water Resource Board. Also addressing this issue was Nate Ellis of Public Finance Law Group who discussed the debt service on the new note and presented several refinancing options for the Commission to consider at a later time. It was noted that at the present time all that was required of the Commission was to approve a resolution that allowed the filing of an application with the Oklahoma Water Resource Board. Resolution No. SMA-13-1 was introduced. A RESOLUTION AGREEING TO FILE APPLICATION WITH THE OKLAHOMA WATER RESOURCES BOARD (THE “OWRB”) FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE STATE LOAN PROGRAM, WITH THE LOAN PROCEEDS BEING FOR THE PURPOSE OF REFINANCING CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS; APPROVING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS; AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO.
