approximately 3.0% and the total cost of the bond will be
$1,736,000 including interest. The average annual payment will be
approximately $115,700 with the beginning years at a higher
amount. The vehicle was approved in the FY 20 CERF
schedule/budget. The interest rate and total cost are conservative
estimates. This vehicle is included in the city most current bond
sales plan.
