Information
The accompanying parameters ordinance is presented for the Board's consideration. This ordinance permits the
issuance of general obligation bonds up to $8,000,000. The proceeds will fund infrastructure projects in the Village's
Prospect/Main TIF district, including the construction of the Maple Street Parking Deck, a new Elevator at Emerson
Street Parking Deck and streetscape improvements within the TIF.
While these bonds will be issued as a general obligation of the Village and supported by a direct annual tax upon all
taxable property, the entire amount of the annual levy for principal and interest will be abated using funds
from the TIF Increment. As a result, there will be no impact on the property tax levy from the issuance of these
bonds.
Pending approval, the ordinance will permit the Mayor, Village Manager, and Finance Director to execute an order for
the sale of these bonds. Sections 3 and 12 of the parameters ordinance provides information on interest rates,
principal and interest payment schedules and tax levy schedule by which the bonds can be issued. The bonds will be
sold via competitive bid. Due to the size of the issue and the possibility of a future bond issue, these bonds will not be
eligible for bank qualified status. A summary of results will be presented to the Village Board when the sale is
finalized. Distribution of the final approving legal opinion from bond counsel and final repayment schedule will also be
made available at that time.
