Bond refunding discussionTrustee Bob Trojan, chair of the Finance Committee, reported on the committee’s recentmeeting. Vital Signs were reviewed and are under budget.

The 2009 Build America Bonds can be refunded; PMA put a long-term plan in place a fewyears ago to restructure the College’s existing debt service.The refunding will be a negotiated sale, not by competitive bid. This is the preferred methodbased on bond rating downgrades due to the state of Illinois financial difficulties.The plan is to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) September 29 to select an underwriter tofacilitate sale of the bonds.It’s anticipated that the board will approve the recommended undenvriter and adopt theparameters resolution.The sale will be finalized November 3.The Debt Service Comparison by Fiscal Year shows how the debt payments will be smoothedout, with reduced payments over five years, but an increase for 2023-2027.The estimated debt service savings is approximately 693,000.Mr. Black further explained that refunding bonds is like refinancing a mortgage, a chance to receiveproceeds at a lower interest rate and save money. Even though the bond rating has declined, the Collegecan still get a lower bond rate.2.
