Consent Agenda
Council considered the consent agenda items "a" through "i" as follows:
a. Proposed Ordinance No. 9510124 -4, amends the 199495 Fiscal
Year General Fund Debt Service Budget. This ordinance amends the
1994 -95 General Fund Debt Service Budget for revenues and
expenses related to debt for MUD No. 3, including refunding existing
debt. At the time of annexation, the City did not know what amount
of the revenues collected from MUD No. 3 would be utilized to refund
the outstanding bonds. Those revenues have been determined.
Total revenues for MUD No. 3 are $1,568,243, including $408,062 in
current taxes, interest income and a $1,160,181 one time payment
from the Municipal Utility District. The one time payment was to be
used to reduce the amount to be financed and /or help fund the debt
service. Of that $1,160,181, $950,000 was used to reduce the
amount financed. The remaining balance of $199,506 will be used for
future debt service payment.
We recommend approval.
