Additional notes are planned to be issued for cash flow purposes, as needed. The notes would be converted to permanent bond financing in 2016.
BUDGET IMPACT:
This amendment will increase the Water Resources Bond Fund - Series 2014 Budget by $671,056. This funding will be made available from a portion of the bond anticipation notes issued in 2014 and a portion of the bond anticipation notes to be issued in the first quarter of 2016.
