HONORING OUT-GOING COUNCIL MEMBER JOSE ZAPATA
Mayor Blankenship stated that he did not have words to
express how grateful and thankful they are for Jose’s years of service. This
Council would miss his leadership, wisdom, and his commitment to the people of
this community. Jose has had a legacy of wise decisions, which can be seen
throughout this community. Jose has indeed made an impact on the
community, and Kearney is a better place to live because
of his unselfishness. He extended the invitation to Jose and his family
that the doors to Kearney are always open to them and if
their path should lead them back here, they would be more than welcome.
On behalf of this Council, the previous Councils that Jose
has served with, the administration, and a grateful community, Mayor
Blankenship expressed thanks and best wishes to him for everything in the
future. He presented Jose with a plaque.
Council Member Kearney stated that they would miss him and
wished Jose all the best of luck.
Council Member Buschkoetter stated that Jose’s “Kearney family” would really miss him. He
believed that there was no better reason for him to leave than the one he
chose. He said that Kearney’s loss
is Grand Islands gain. Jose really paved the way well, especially for
southeast Kearney. He further stated that every time
he drives through that area and looks at all the work that has been done, he
thinks of Jose.
Council Member Hadley stated that he would also miss Jose
because he is the one who has been teaching him the ropes. He believed that all
the work Jose has done during his time on the Council was very worthwhile.
He stated that the Council is not run by a district system, but over the years
Jose has represented his part of Kearney very well. This representation has been very much appreciated by all
the people in Kearney.
City Manager Allen Johnson stated that Jose’s leaving is a
very significant event for him because Jose is the last of the original five,
who were the Council members when he was hired. He reflected over the
past eight years that he has been here and stated the one word he would use to
characterize Jose’s service, is wisdom. He believed that in Jose’s
soft-spoken way, he has always been able to characterize the situation or the
event and put it in perspective. He appreciated Jose’s wise counsel over
the years.
Council Member Jose stated that he has reflected on the
lessons that he learned that have helped him while growing up in Kearney. He expressed appreciation to all
the teachers that he had over the years in Kearney who gave him the tools to learn. He shared his memories of George’s Market
and the good will they had that was the secret ingredient to their success and
how important that is. He talked about a caring neighbor that went to his
parents when they saw him doing something wrong as a child. He has seen
police officers take young people “under their wing” and make sure those
special kids don’t get into trouble. He named those people who were
responsible for getting neighborhood associations started and how the community
has benefited because of what they have done. He was thankful for friends
in this faith-based community, who taught him how to pray. The spiritual
part of his life means a great deal to him. He mentioned McKenzie, Marlatt,
Methe, and Ballou who invited him to be part of the American dream and build
houses for God’s people in need and continues to give the community hope.
He stated that the City staff is wonderful people. The
leadership of the Council is excellent, and they really put their hearts into
the work they do. He feels a little broken hearted about leaving, but
that shows that he puts his heart into his work. He commended people like
Jackie and Dr. Rosenlof and Carol and Ron Cope who have helped the community
with resources.
He commented that his family had signs in the audience, and
he recalled that in 1992 he was on a tight budget and they all pitched in and
painted signs for his campaign. It was that year that he won his first
election. He acknowledged his mother and father who taught him family values.
Jose shared that his dad had recently told him that he believed that Jose has
really helped this community develop and they have really helped him to grow as
well. He also commended all the families that have raised strong
families, which together have made us a community of extraordinary citizens.
He quoted, “It takes a village to raise a child”. He thanked the
community of Kearney for raising him and so many others
like him to be successful and happy people.

VI.
REGULAR AGENDA
The next four items were discussed together.
REDEEMING $1,795,000 GENERAL
OBLIGATION VARIOUS PURPOSE BONDS, SERIES 1999
Council member Don Kearney vacated his chair and abstained
from discussion and voting on this matter. He is president of one of the
banks involved.
The City of Kearney
currently has General Obligation Various Purpose Bonds, Series 1999, and
Highway Allocation Fund Pledge Bonds, Series 1999, outstanding. The
General Obligation Various Purpose Bonds, Series 1999, were issued with an
interest coupon rate ranging from 4.20% to 5.30% and mature on December 1, 2009, and the Highway Allocation Fund
Pledge Bonds, Series 1999, were issued with an interest coupon rate ranging
from 4.20% to 5.30% and mature on December 1, 2009. These bonds were issued for
the purpose of financing various Paving Districts and the 30th Avenue overpass.
After monitoring the municipal bond market over the past
several months, it appears that the City of Kearney could save considerable interest costs by refinancing the General
Obligation Various Purpose Bonds, Series 1999, and Highway Allocation Fund
Pledge Bonds, Series 1999. It is estimated that the General Obligation
Refunding Bonds, Series 2003, and the Highway Allocation Fund Pledge Refunding
Bonds, Series 2003, will have an interest rate ranging from 1.00% to 2.65% and
will mature on December
1, 2009. Actual
interest rates will not be known until June 24, 2003.
Richard Pedersen, an attorney with the Baird, Holm Law Firm
of Omaha, has prepared the resolution calling the General Obligation Various
Purpose Bonds, Series 1999, and the Highway Allocation Fund Pledge Bonds,
Series 1999, and the ordinance issuing the General Obligation Refunding Bonds,
Series 2003, and the Highway Allocation Fund Pledge Refunding Bonds, Series
2003.
The City of Kearney has an
opportunity to save approximately $124,000.00 over the next seven years by
refinancing the General Obligation Various Purpose Bonds, Series 1999, and the
Highway Allocation Fund Pledge Bonds, Series 1999.
Mayor Blankenship opened for discussion to consider
Resolution No. 2003-90 calling for redemption on December 1, 2004 $1,795,000 of General Obligation Various Purpose Bonds,
Series 1999.
Jim Fox from Ameritas presented this matter to the Council.
There are two issues outstanding which are not callable. This means that the
City cannot call them away from the bondholders until December 1, 2004. Considering bond rates are at a
45-year low, there is one opportunity to do what is called an advanced
refunding and take advantage of current interest rates. His recommendation to
the staff is that if the City can save this kind of money over a short period
of time, it shouldn’t wait to see what happens to interest rates in December of
next year.
The information that he presented was incorporated into the
necessary call resolutions and ordinances for consideration. The first is a Highway
Allocation Bond issue, which is a small amount. The other issue is larger and
so the two have been combined. The average interest rate on the outstanding
debt is 5.12 percent and callable in December 2004. The respective interest
rate ranges from 4.65 to 5.30 percent.
The structure of the bond issue that is being considered is
$5,575,000. The final maturity will not change and the average interest rate is
5.0585. The interest rates were in from .95 to 2.55 percent. The total savings
is just under $25,000. The present value of those savings in today’s dollars is
$24,700 and the present value savings as a percent of the bonds that are being
refunding is 4.00 percent. The escrow will be invested in United States
Government Securities. They have subscribed for those at the Federal Reserve
Bank.
The next issue is the larger issue. This amount is $2.4
million and the interest rates runs 4.65 to 5.30 percent (average 5.12
percent). The length and amortization of the loan was not changed. The
average rate is 4.05 percent and the savings is $105,000 and that is a present
value savings of $98,000. The sources and uses is how the money is going to be
allocated. The costs of the escrow is the underwriting discount which is the
cost of issuance by Ameritas, which is the legal and the escrow agent.
He believes that the City is taking advantage of a good
opportunity. It is a shorter issue and the longer the wait the less
opportunities there are. They continue to monitor the outstanding issues. Over
the past 12 months, they have done some current refunding, as well as advanced
refunding. He was pleased to be able to save this type of money. He
stated that the City is in very good shape financially.
Moved by Clouse seconded by Hadley to approve Resolution No.
2003-90 calling for redemption on December 1, 2004 $1,795,000 of General Obligation
Various Purpose Bonds, Series 1999. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye:

REPORTS
STORM DAMAGE
City Manager Allen Johnson commented on the storm damage
that had occurred over the past several nights. The volunteer
firefighters and the police were called out as a result. The communications
tower on the back of City Hall sustained a great deal of damage. There was also
damage to trees in the Parks and throughout the City. He stated that
fortunately there was no loss of life or major injury.
Council Member Clouse reminded the citizens to be very
careful around downed power lines and safety issues that come with trees being
down by the storm. He also thanked all those in public service and those
who do the clean up, whether it is public works, parks, utilities, etc. Many
times these things go unnoticed, and they deserve to be thanked for their long
hours.
Kearney volunteer fire department
The City Manager took the opportunity to emphasize that 21
weeks of training goes into getting the Firefighter I certification. That is
basic training for any firefighter in the State. The difference for Kearney is that they are all volunteers for
our Fire Department, which is an incredible contribution to our community.
