Background Information:
| We received positive information in that the City does not owe any arbitrage rebate or penalty to the Internal Revenue Service for these issues. The tax-exempt status of the issues is maintained, therefore protecting the City from potential liability from any bondholders. Internal Revenue Service regulations require that the City make periodic determinations that no arbitrage rebate or penalty is owed to the Internal Revenue Service when tax-exempt bonds are issued. This testing is required at each 5-year interval that bond proceeds are unspent and also once the proceeds are completely spent. |
