Councilmember Woestehoff asked for confirmation that this is an arrangement that costs the City <br /> and tax payers nothing and the City is privy to a half percent fee to cover all administrative costs <br /> so the City generates a small amount of revenue directly. <br /> Finance Director Lund replied that is correct. The conduit debt is a pass through that the City is <br /> not liable for any of the payments and they will pay a half percent fee. In addition, if the City <br /> desires to issue debt anytime in the future for this year until December 31, 2022 if$10 million or <br /> under is issued,they will stay bank qualified. PACT will be required to pay the difference in being <br /> considered nonbank qualified. She stated that has been written into the agreements. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked how long the duration of the payment difference that would be <br /> required to be made, it is just within this year for any loans that are done this year or subsequent <br /> years. <br /> Finance Director Lund replied it has to be respective to this year. She explained if the City where <br /> to issue debt of$10 million or under in 2022 they would be required to pay the difference of the <br /> lifespan of the bond. She gave the example of a 20-year bond was taken out, whatever the interest <br /> is that charges the City to get a higher amount based off the 20-year issuance, PACT would have <br /> to front the difference of the cost. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated any debt the City takes on this year for the term of that debt. <br /> Finance Director Lund replied yes as long as it is under$10 million to be considered bank qualified <br /> and not incur a higher interest rate. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> There was none. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Specht, seconded by Councilmember Heineman, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion carried.
