Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the issuance of general obligation refunding bonds for the purpose of providing long-term financing of short-term interim borrowing. (Comptroller)
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the long-term financing of debt issued on a short-term interim basis. The original debt is included in the original corporate purpose bond and note authorizations. Due to timing constraints, the debt has been, or will be, sold to the Public Debt Amortization Fund until the City's next long-term financing, anticipated to be this fall. This resolution does not increase the amount of debt authorized to be issued.
