NEW BUSINESS
Continue 2018 Budget Discussions
Mr. Paul Thompson of Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Co. was present. He reviewed the City's
options to finance the following 2018 projects: Police Department Facility, DPW Facility,
Moorland Road, Hillendale Road, Bay Lane and Fire Department Equipment. He outlined the
advantage of using a Note Anticipation Note (NAN) versus General Obligation Bonds or
General Obligation Notes. This note carries all the same characteristics of a note except that it
can be issued without the requirement of a tax levy. It is issued in anticipation of another note
or bond being issued to refund it. Using a NAN allows flexibility. Mr. Thompson will put a
projection together to be presented to the Common Council in the future. Mayor Chiaverotti
thanked Mr. Thompson for his attendance.
