PUBLIC HEARINGS

8.a. Accept Bids and Award Sale—G.O. Improvement Bonds, Series 2012A
Finance Director May summarized the staff report and gave the results of the bid opening
earlier in the day saying there were two submitted bids and the low bid came from UMB
Bank for 0.8956%. Terri Heaton from Springsted was present and stated she has never seen
a bid come in below 1%. She stated that the Aa2 rating is high and investors look for that.
She commended Mr. May for his work on this matter.
Kearney—why did 3 institutions not bid that showed up. Springsted—numer of
investments they can place in any certain area and they placed their bids elsewhere or forgot.
DeBettignies only 40.50 difference, haven't seen anything that close before. Rare but can
happen which is why we look at the different items,price,interest and net interest.
Droste—seeing angst with municipal bonds not seen in the past because ofbankruptcy rates
or is it pretty constant. Ms. Heiten stated helps to differentiate between govt bonds and
those that are single revenue supported. General obligation bonds are supported by the tax
base so they always get paid if there is a tax base.
Mayor Droste also commended Mr. May and his staff for a job well done.
