Additional Comments:

The debt service on the bonds is anticipated to be paid with revenues from the Southern Nevada Water Authority rates and charges.

 

BACKGROUND: 

For “new money” bonds the Board adopts a finding and the Debt Management Commission (the “DMC”) approves a finding that the pledged revenues are sufficient to pay debt service on the bonds and that no increase in the rate of an ad valorem tax is necessary for the payment of the bonds during the term thereof.  Such a finding makes the bonds exempt from abatement in the event the County ever had to levy a tax to pay the bonds. 

For the refunding of bonds exempt from abatement, it is not clear that the refunding bonds would also be exempt from abatement unless the Board makes the finding and the DMC approves the finding pursuant to NRS 361.4727(3)(b)(1) and (2).

The savings will meet the criteria for refundings as set forth in the County’s Debt Management Policy.
