bonds for its aquatic complex and the North Main Street widening project at 1.916 percent for a 20-year
term.Municipal Administrator John Fawcett told city council March 4 the bonds were purchased by 5/3
Bank. "Our bond consultant has told us he has never seen a rate that low," Fawcett
said.Standard and Poor continues to rate the city at A+, Fawcett said.In 2012 the city refinanced $6.095
million in 2004 bonds, dropping the interest rate from 4 percent to $2.4 percent. Fawcett said that move
will save the city $890,000 in interest costs.The refinance bonds cover a variety of projects from the
community center to utility projects.City Finance Director Brian Bushong said keeping the bond amounts
under $10 million allows banks to bid on the bonds and generally provides lower rates.WeatherTonight –
