He shared a PowerPoint with the City Council and explained that the sale of these bonds would lower the interest rate that Brooklyn Center has currently, increasing its financial standing. Mr. Reinhardt explained how 05/11/15 -5- the current debt is structured and how the re-structuring at lower interest rates will provide more stability. He went on to explain the debt repayment plan that Brooklyn Center is using to pay back these bonds and how using levies and special assessments are a crucial part of that plan. Mr. Doug Green, Spingsted Incorporated, presented the process that has occurred thus far with collecting bids, developing the special assessments, looking at how the current debt is structured and drafting the new bond agreement once the sale has taken place. He explained that Brooklyn Center currently has a AA bond rating and that will increase the number of potential bids. He continued stating that once the bids are collected for the bonds, it will be brought before the City Council for its approval before formally accepting the bid. Councilmember Ryan compared the sale of these bonds to homeowners who have multiple loans on a home and refinance to one loan with a lower interest rate. Mr. Green confirmed that is exactly how to look at this bond sale situation and added that combining these two bonds together in turn makes them more valued by the investor. Mayor Willson thanked Mr. Reinhardt and Mr. Green in their efforts regarding this sale and praised both for assuring the last 15 years of financial stability for Brooklyn Center.
