In April 2018 the City authorized the issuance of and sale of Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series 2018 to refund the 2014 issue. The refund is estimated to reduce the interest rate from
5.52% to 4.20% and is estimated to save the City approximately $2,476,583. This action will not
extend the term of the bonds, which will be fully retired in 2034.
