REVISED DEBT
SERVICE POLICY
A. Request Village Board approval to accept revised Debt Service Policy that sets
parameters for issuing and managing debt and provides guidance to the Village Board
for future debt services. Finance Director Dave Erb presented the updated Debt Service
Policy and responded to questions from the Village Board.
Mr. Erb presented the recommended change to the Debt Service Policy which would add a
new section to formalize current practice specific to current and advance refunding of debt.
1) The Village will consider the refunding of current debt obligations (existing debt is
redeemed and replaced by new debt) when conditions are economically favorable to do so.
2) The Village will consider the advance refunding of debt obligations (new debt is issued
to replace or redeem old debt before the maturity or call date of the old debt) when
conditions are economically favorable to do so.
The recommended new debt service policy serves to further support the Village's existing
financial controls.
