BACKGROUND
The City's co-financial advisors, Hilltop Securities, Inc. and Estrada Hinojosa & Co., recommend the issuance of Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2024B in an amount not to exceed $218,000,000 to finance park and recreation improvements, drainage improvements, and street improvements. Federal tax regulations allow for the reimbursement of capital expenditures from bond or short-term debt proceeds. These regulations can be used to begin implementation prior to issuance of bonds or commercial paper with the approval of this resolution.
Additionally, State law requires City Council approval of a Notice of Intention to Issue Certificates of Obligation under and pursuant to the provisions of Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.049, as amended.
Passage of this resolution will authorize the publication of the Notice of Intention to Issue Certificates of Obligation and allow for expenditures in advance of the proposed Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2024B, scheduled for pricing in April 2024.
