CITY COUNCIL GOAL

 

BACKGROUND

On April 3, 2018 the City of San Marcos issued a Notice of Intent to sell approximately $47,065,000 in tax certificates of obligation.  This sale funds the FY 2018 capital improvement plan that was approved by council during the FY 2018 budget process along with projects approved in prior capital improvement plans that were not funded during the prior year’s debt issuance.  After review of the project list and available funding sources, the amount of debt to be issues was reduced to an amount not to exceed $33,750,000. A list of projects to be funded by the debt issued is attached.

 

These bonds are to be sold in a negotiated sale with pricing scheduled for May 24, 2018.  This ordinance delegates the final approval of the sale within the parameters set forth in the ordinance including maximum term, interest rate and issuance amount to the Pricing Officer.  The Pricing Officer is the City Manager, or in his absence, the Mayor, acting as the designated Pricing Officer of the City to execute each Pricing Certificate.
