Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

I respectfully request an appropriation of $40,000.00 from Unreserved Fund Balance ("Free Cash") to the Debt Service, Interest on Notes-BAN account (592500) to fully fund the BAN Interest Budget Account for FY16.

The City had a very successful BAN sale in June which resulted in a higher than expected bond premium payment from the bond purchaser. At the end of the BAN term, premium must be paid back as BAN Interest, and we estimated $40,000 too little during the FY2016 Budget Hearings.

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
