Members of the Bowie City Council were updated on the pending financing for the Nelson Street project and the new ambulance, and let bids for a new sewer line funded through a state grant.
Kevin Learner of Government Capital Securities met with the council Monday night bringing what he said was “good news.” Capital Credit is handling the sale of $2,750,000 in certificates of obligation for the ambulance and Nelson Street repairs. Due to the Columbus Day holiday the sale had to be delayed, but it should be completed by the Oct. 23 council meeting.
Learner explained during the process of getting the COs rated and insured, they hired Standard & Poor’s to do the analysis that included nearly one hour of questions with Finance Director Pamela Woods, City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris, plus Learner who noted Woods was very prepared.
The City of Bowie received an A+ rating, which is outstanding.
