Oral Report of the Public Hearing and Budget Review Committee meeting held April 25, 2016

Alderman Dowd

Last night, Treasurer Fredette was here. In 2006, the city sold an advanced refunding bond with payments in
the July of every single year. The city is allowed to advance the refunding of these bonds which were originally
bonds sold in 2006 at a mixture of old school bonds that were originally started in 1999 to 2002. The city is
allowed to call advanced refunding of these bonds 90 days prior to the 10" anniversary of the bond, which falls
on July 15, 2016. That was why the expediency of trying to move this forward, so Treasurer Fredette could act
on this. The bond sold in 2006 had rates of approximately 4%. The current refunding bond will have rates in
the 1.5% to 2.0% range over the remaining life of the bond, which is six years. The interest rate savings will be
approximately $1.5 million over the next 6 fiscal years. Thank you.

There being no objection, President McCarthy declared the oral report of the April 25, 2016 Budget Review
Committee public hearing and regular meeting accepted and placed on file.

Municipal Aid $ 1,828,365
State Adequacy Aid 2,168,978
State Catastrophic Aid for Special Education 737,294

WHEREAS previously by Resolution 19-174 the Board of Aldermen directed $4.5 million of the
unassigned general fund balance be applied to reduce the Calendar year 2019 tax rate;

And WHEREAS it now appears fiscally prudent and will result in lower taxes for $6,234,637 to
be applied to reduce the tax rate, this $6,234,637 consisting of the total $4,734,637 in
unanticipated funds referred to above and $1,500,000 of unassigned fund balance;

NOW THEREFORE it is resolved that R-19-174 is rescinded and pursuant to NRO §5-135, B,
$1,500,000 of the unassigned fund balance be applied to reduce the calendar year 2019 (fiscal
year 2020) Tax Rate. With this action the unassigned fund balance remains at or above the five
percent (5%) minimum recommended by the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration and
the ten percent (10%) minimum of NRO §5-136, A.
