bonds were frist sold they sold at 6% interest rate. He stated that
in their contract they will establish an interest rate ot 5.9902 %, which
would amount to $6,654,762.52 total outstanding interest and principle
on the $4 million bond issue. He stated that they had three options
to offer the Borough; Options A and B were the same proposal basis at
5.60 interest. Option C would be anything the Borough would li
to have as far as a maturity shceudle at a 5 1/2 inte est rate. Opts -,n A
is based on a 5.6 annual interest rate and that maturity schedule
affords the Borough an annual savings each year. Mr. Matz went n
to explain the option in detail for the assembly for their understan:I^g

be taking the last three years ot savings. Exanple B woula be a , .t. ;s
during the whole term. Example C would collect savings up to one
call date. Mr. Wood asked what would the Borough be looking 'or n
these proposal if they were to pick between each company. Mr £
stated that the most important things would be the net savings and Ere
interest rate. Mr. Edmonds recommended Example C, so the tlor,,,
could change their payments at the call date if they wanted to
Mr. Wooa after hearing a presentation from both companies and their
partners, he would like to call Anchorage to find out more about tne,r
background, etc.
Since the interest rate is changing daily, it was noted that if we a
not accept the proposals toaay, they would possibly have to be r
worked if not accepted and the interest rates would be different
Mr. Nelson would move that we accept the ofter from EF Hutton ar d
Marshall & Meyer, and we will negotiate from there. Seconded : ,
Mrs. Wallin. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
Mr. Powell stated that he needs to look a little harder on what op! .
he would prefer.
The assembly chose to have the savings paid to them up to the call
date and they can change from there if need be.

wanted it.
