Harrigan stated that this means that the net cost is $2,703,818 which is over $100,000 less than the estimate.

Harrigan stated that Ehlers & Assoc. went through the rating process with Moody’s Investor Service.

Wagner, Dickmann, and Lee explained/reviewed the Village’s finances with Moody’s.  It was determined that the Village would maintain their A2 rating.  Moody’s did not see the STH 33 project expenses as having a huge negative effect on the Village’s stability, thus not impacting the Village’s rating.

Harrigan stated that the Village has an above average, but manageable debt.  The objectives have been positively met.

Harrigan stated that by approving the resolutions, the Village agrees to award the sale of the bonds, levy the necessary property tax, meet Federal requirements, and regulations regarding the issue of BAB’s.

Dickmann noted that the original interest spike in 2013 is not there due to these numbers.

Hamann asked Harrigan to comment on the bids and where they originated from.

Harrigan stated that it is not unusual to receive bids from other states and he was please with six (6) bids, as they usually only receive 3 or 4.

Sauer asked about the potential recalibration of the rating system and how it would affect future borrowings.  Sauer stated that it was his understanding that the recalibration would give the Village a rating of AA3.  He stated it looks better but wonders whether or not it actually is.

Harrigan stated that the recalibrations are occurring April 19^th.  Ehlers does not view it as an improvement in credit quality but puts us more in line with corporate ratings.

Harrigan stated that he interviewed investors and they said they would not change business due to recalibration.

Harrigan felt it may have a positive affect further into the future.

Harrigan stated that although it shows the Village moving to an AA3 rating (a 2-step increase) it would more likely move to an A1 rating.

VILLAGE PRESIDENT

SERVICE RECOGNITION – POLICE RESERVE

Dickmann read and presented a plaque to Linda Hillebrand and thanked her for 22 years of service to the Village as a Police Reserve.

Chief Meloy thanked Hillebrand and said she did a great job organizing events and making sure things were covered and the reserves were taken care of.

Linda Hillebrand accepted her plaque and asked all of the Reserves to stand.  Hillebrand went on to say that the Reserves work many events throughout the year and get very little recognition.  She stated that the Village shouldn’t wait until someone quits, as she did after 22 years of service, to recognize them.  Hillebrand repeated several times that she and the rest of the Reserves are never recognized for the work they do.  She asked that the Village take a few minutes at the Village Recognition dinner and thank the Reserves.  According to Linda, they are the only ones every year who do not get any recognition.
