Background and Discussion:

On August 19, 2025, the County repaid a portion of Commercial Paper Notes, Series D-2 with PIB Refunding Bonds, Series 2025A which caused a final maturity installment computation on the notes. A preliminary computation generated a positive rebate liability which is attributable to higher interest earned from unspent Series D-2 proceeds than what County is allowed to earn.  The county’s arbitrage consultant is in the process of finalizing the arbitrage report and is putting up all the necessary paperwork for what is needed to be sent to the IRS. The IRS code requires that positive arbitrage be rebated to the Federal Government within a 60-day window, which must be paid by October 20, 2025.
