Board of Public Works - May 20, 2026
The board approved refinancing the 2016 and 2020 stormwater bonds into a $24 million Series 2026 issue. The move locks in lower market rates and frees up about 70 cents of the $6.80 monthly stormwater fee — roughly $500,000 a year — instead of it going to debt payments. Citywide interest savings are estimated between $8 and $12 million.
