Sfim~ers ~ Mayor Forrest L~ Wallace~ Vice Mayor '~_~. ~ Y Jar~ , C unci!~,mn y nd, ~cilman -2- March 23, 1970 City of Boynton Beach mn Boyaton Beach, Florida Re: $800,000 City of Boyaton Beach Water and Sewer Revenue Bends Series 1969 Dear Mayor Summers, Mrs. Jackson and other Members of the City Council. WorI4ng wi~ Mr. Gene Moore III., your Attorney and Mrs. Padgett, your City Clerk,'we have arrived at a delivery date of April i, 1970 for the above bonds and have plmmed a closing at the Atlantic National Bank of West Palm Beach. The bonds are being printed and should be del2wered to Mrs. Padgett by the end of the week. I plan to arrive in Boynton Beach before noon on the f~st of April md drive to flue closhg in the early a~ernoon at the bank in West Palm Beach. Mayor Summers, Mrs. Padgett and Mr. Moore need to be present at flae closing also, $90,000 o£ the bond proceeds must be set aside in a Reserve Accotmt and, pursuant to our purchase agreement, we were to designate the Reserve Account bank. In an effort to develop the best possible investment of the Reserve Account, for the benefit of the City we have been investigating just what the maximum investment on a Certificate of Deposit could be in today'~ market. Based on this investigation, we believe that we could obtain a CergLficate of Deposit for the City fully collateral- ized in the manner provided by law which Certificate ef Deposit would mature on April 1, 1981 or eleven years from the date of its purchase. We believe that such a Cerri~cate of Deposit can be obtained at an interest rate payable to the City of 7%. We feel that a Certificate at this rate for eleven years i.s the most efficient investment £or the Reserve Fraud, pax-~icalarily w-hen you consider that such ~ Cer~cate is ~,l!y collater~t!~ed and the bank which issues it must pay it on demand at 100 cent? On the dollar without reference to any market fluctuatioms. RECEIVED CENTRAL FILE CITY OF BO¥~_'TON BEbCH City of Boynton Beach March 23, 1970 Page two In order to obtain a 7% Certificate o£ Deposit, we would, however, have to have the $90,000 of the Reserve Fund augmented by $10,'000, because banks c. mmot give a rare as high as 7% except for deposits of $100, 000 or more. Therefore, to attempt tO accomplish this investment at the. 7%level, $10,000 of the con, traction fund moneys or water and sewer surplus revellues already, on ha/Id would have to be put with the $90,000 of th~ bond proceeds. I would like to point ont that at 7~, the l{eserve Ftmd x~0uld "ear~ back" the $ t0, 000 itl about eighteen months. If the Mayor or the Ac~ag City Manager*will advise tha$ we may pr6ceed ~h setting up the investment of the Reserve Fund and an additicaat $10,000 on this basis, I shall endeavor to have tile transactions ready to execut~ on April t~ 1970 at ~he closing.
