MEMORANDUM
April 11, 2022
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Sharen Jackson, Chief Financial Officer
Subject: Resolution No. 22-012, Authorizing a Notice of Intent to issue
Certificates of Obligation
Action
Requested: Approval of Resolution No. 22-012 as initial step to issue
certificates of obligation for capital improvement projects.
Background
Information: Approval of this resolution is the first step in issuing certificates of
obligation. Once this Resolution is approved, the City may issue
less than that amount, but cannot exceed it. The approval of the
resolution does the following:
• Establishes the maximum amount ($9,600,000) of the
certificates the city can issue;
• Authorizes the publication of a notice in the newspaper of
the City's intent to issue certificates of obligation
The certificates are issued and approved by the adoption of an
ordinance; approval is scheduled for June 7th. The city would
receive funding early July. The proceeds from the bonds will be
used for roadway improvements and stormwater erosion projects
in accordance with the capital improvement plan approved
on September 21, 2021. All other projects included in the
approved FY 2022 Capital Budget will be funded with cash.
Financial
Considerations: The debt will be repaid through the City's ad valorem tax rate and
the stormwater projects will be repaid through the City's
stormwater fund.
Strategic Link: C1 Achieve the highest standards of safety and security; F2 Invest
to provide and maintain high quality public assets.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: The Resolution is the first step in issuing certificates of obligation.
Citizen input is not a requirement of the Resolution; however, the
Public Hearing is scheduled for June 7, 2022, with the Ordinance.
Honorable Mayor and City Council

Legal Review: The law firm Fulbright and Jaworski serves as the City's bond
counsel, and as such has prepared the Resolution.
Alternatives: In the absence of issuing the certificates, capital projects would be
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Budgets and the timing of
projects would be prioritized based on the amount of revenue
projected by fiscal year.
