Background and Discussion:
Commercial Paper Notes, Series D, a general obligation of the County secured by ad valorem taxes to provide interim financing of various short-term and long-term capital assets. A rate was set in the 2025 tax rate calculation for the repayment of outstanding notes, of which the County I&S tax rate for 2025 was reduced, as expected, to pay $18,000,000 of debt service from the proceeds from the sale of a building.

Financial Management Section of the Office of Management and Budget requests your approval to repay a portion of the outstanding notes from ad valorem tax collections and proceeds from the sale of a building, subject to replenishing the General Fund when the sale occurs.

Expected Impact:
Reduces short-term debt and restores Series D borrowing capacity to provide interim financing of CIP projects.
