If this ordinance is adopted tonight, there would be a public question in the form of a Referendum at the general election to be held on November 8, 1988 regarding the issuance of General Obligation Bonds in the amount of $2,325,000.00. A representative from R.V. Norene & Associates • is at our meeting to answer any questions. D. Gullicksen questioned how much would the Village save with G.O. Bonds in comparison to Revenue Bonds? Administrator Pusinelli stated: 1) G.O. Bonds have a better rate of interest; 2) less money would have to be borrowed by the Village for the expansion of our Sewer Plant; 3) it would mean a savings of borrowing approximately $2.3 million instead of borrowing $2.7 million; 4) there would be an annual savings of $53,080.00 a year. Therefore, the less expensive way for the Village to borrow money is General Obligation Bonds as opposed to Revenue Bonds. J. Dement stated it is our obligation to get this information out to the public before November so they are well informed. i• PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUGUST 1, 1988 PAGE TWO K.
