Project Funding
Greg Crowe, Ehlers, reviewed the funding for the facility project and introduced the option of moving ahead with funding for Phase II. Selling additional bonds would extend the debt, but would ensure completion of the entire project. The goal would be to keep the tax impact consistent. This would mean calling for the sale of bonds in December, with the actual sale taking place in January or February.
If the district decides to wait, construction inflation and interest rates will mean higher cost, or not being able to complete the entire project.
The Board should also consider the possibility of pursuing a voter approved bond in 2024.
Adjournment
Motion by B. Anderson, seconded by Lund, to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 p.m. MC
