PRIOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
City saves millions by refinancing debt Combined $17m in bond interest savings
Goodyear, Ariz. (March 30, 2016) – The Goodyear City Council unanimously approved refinancing three bond categories at its Monday meeting. The move is estimated to save the city nearly $17 million in interest payments over the life of the existing general obligation, revenue, and public improvement corporation (PIC) bonds.
“The target is to get these bonds paid off within our existing means of financing,” said Larry Lange, the city’s finance director.
The largest savings comes from refinancing PIC Series 2007 and 2008 bonds issued to build the Goodyear Ballpark and its training facilities. The city expects to save nearly $12 million over the life of these bonds, which mature in 2032.
“This City Council established several years ago by policy…to set aside adequate funds to pay the debt service on the ballpark debt,” Lange said.
Refinancing the city’s general obligation bonds issued in 2007 and 2008 – primarily used for water and wastewater projects – is expected to save Goodyear $3.7 million over the life of the bonds, which mature in 2037.
The third category of bonds, used to repay the Water Infrastructure Financing Authority of Arizona, will save the city approximately $300,000.
These figures are in present values and could be even more over the life the bonds.
