Mr. Marshall Linn from Urban Futures gave the report.
In response to Agency Member Evans, Mr. Nowak stated that
the proposed refunding would allow the Agency to get $2
million that could be spent on projects, including 20
percent that would be spent on affordable housing, without
increasing the annual debt service.
In response to Agency Member Evans, Mr. Linn stated that
the advantage is that the Agency would get the money now,
at a lower interest rate, and that the money could be spent
on projects that may result in higher tax increment values.
In response to Agency Member Harper, Mr. Linn stated that
an advantage is paying for 18 years at discounted dollars,
and that there was the potential for private investment
spin -off.
In response to Agency Member Rodgers, Mr. Linn stated that
all Redevelopment Agencies have debt, but that the goal was
to raise $2 million for Agency projects and take advantage
of the lower interest rate at this time.
Agency Member Harper stated that he wanted to see what the
$2 million was intended to be used for.
Mr. Kueny stated that staff could come up with a list of
potential projects, show the discounted cost of the extra
funds, and show the savings if only the current bonds were
refinanced. He suggested continuing the item for two weeks.
