Next we'll move on to public forum. There is no one this evening. Thank you. Then we'll go on to Mayor's announcements. Just want to review the COVID-19 numbers for Monday the 17th. Compared to last week, we're up to 887 positive cases. That's up 83 from last week, which is a slight decrease from the percentage or the number that we've had the previous two weeks. We have 105 active cases and that's down 40 active cases from 145 last week. We have 774 cases that have recovered and that's up 123 from last week. We had three people in the hospital last week and now we have seven so that's an increase of four. We're still standing with eight people that have passed away due to the COVID virus and we have 24,733 negative tests and that's up 2,172 from last week and the percentage of positive tests to the total test is standing at 3.4% and that's remain the same from last week. The COVID-19 is a terrible virus that continued we continue to learn more about every day. However we do know some of the best practices including masks and face cloth coverings, physical distance and keeping our social circles small. These are all key to slowing the spread of the virus. We also know that working together is a key to our lives returning to normal. A new ordinance is going to be introduced on Tuesday August 18th tomorrow at the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors meeting regarding the coronavirus pandemic. This ordinance provides for enforcement of public health orders and legislators oversight. At this meeting the ordinance will then be referred to a committee for a recommendation and return to the county board for a final vote on September 15th. The goal of the proposed ordinance is to be prepared to be used if we see a significant spike in the COVID-19 insurgents in our hospitals and if they are on the brink of being swamped with cases and then the county public health officer does have significant authority and state law and statues and as proposed the disordnance will soften the existing authority as it proposes checks and balances with legislated oversight by the county board. There are currently no local public health orders in place. If we do see a surge of COVID-19 in our community and need to take stronger action to protect the health and the vitality of our community we will have a stronger collaborative approach established in in place. The purpose of this ordinance is to be prepared if the situation gets significantly worse and if the greater countywide action needs to be taken. The ordinance also includes an enforcement component that is easier to administer and less punitive and again only if needed. This week you will see new billboards and a bus rap ads to ask everyone to do their part to stop the spread of the coronavirus in Sheboygan County. Please wear a mask and maintain social distance. These are challenging and unprecedented times and will take all of us working together to keep our community safe and our businesses open. Next we'll go on to the consent agenda.

So this is the item that was discussed in the Finance and Personnel Committee meeting that was unable to be adjourned because of some challenges. So this is the 8.7 acre parcel in the current Sheboygan Business Center, the old park that Torgonal is buying. So we got an offer to purchase and it's we have to sign it off signed by tomorrow as the date. So that's the reason for the suspension of the rules.

Awarding the sale of $4,610,000 in general obligation refunding bonds series 2020 C. All the person Donahue. I move to adopt the report of the committee and award sale of 4.610 in general obligation refunding bonds. Is there a second? Second that. Thank you for the motion. Do you have an amended amount on that, Mary Lynn? Well, we have a motion on the floor. Do you have an amended amount? It's the floor is open for an amendment. I do have an amended amount, but that is the resolution that came to the committee. Whatever city attorney Cameron thinks the motion's correct form is I'm fine with that. I would be comfortable with the motion being to approve awarding the sale of the 4.635 million. That's the amount actually actually moving forward and that's what came out of me. Perfect. Thank you and I would I would just not amend but correct my motion accordingly. Second. Thank you. Thank you for that amendment. Is there any discussion on the amendment? Seeing none all those in favor. It's not an amendment. It's a correction to the form of the motion. I got the number wrong so I'm just correcting the motion so I don't think we need to do the amendment and then well whatever you want to do is fine. Thomas is he would you prefer an amendment on this or a correction? I'm comfortable with it being just a motion to approve again since that's what came out of committee. So all the person don't he's clarified the the intent of promotion was to approve that that resolution. Okay then we'll be discussing the main motion. Is there any further discussion on the main motion as corrected? I'll go ahead all the person Carol are you online? Oh great. Why don't you give us a little bit of a wrap up on the documents that you presented to finance earlier today. We are following up on a report from July where we talked about refinancing existing 2007 bonds strictly for interest savings since those bonds are currently outstanding over 4% interest rate. So we prepared to enter the bond market and we went through the Moody's bond rating process and I'm happy to report Moody's did reaffirm the city's AA2 bond rating. So I have I did attach the credit report that came out of that committee meeting and the sale took place this morning where we received four bids from underwriters and the dollar amount we started with was 4,610,000 and that was determined the final dollar amount was determined by how much premium the winning bidder submitted. So they submitted a little less than what we anticipated. So that's what raised the issue size to 4,635,000. The winning bidder was the firm called BOK Financial Security and the true interest rate was 0.64%. The original rate we were anticipating back in July was 0.97, but that's how much the market again has continued to decline in terms of interest rate. The final result is the city is saving $701,733. So that was projected at about 647,000. So the difference in those rates is what's obviously producing a greater savings. And also that is a net savings because the winning bidder is required to pay all expenses associated with the financing and that is included in that interest rate of the 0.64%. The issue itself is repaid from 2021 through 2026, which was the original term of the 2007 bond. So the resolution that the council is acting on tonight contains those terms and details and the council action will approve not only those borrowing terms, but the final interest rates. It will also award the bond to the firm of BOK Financial Security and it also has a notice of call that is calling in those 2007 bonds and stopping that interest rate over 4% as of October 1. The city will receive all the money on September 15th and it will stay in debt service and this is for debt service only. There's no new money or capital projects included in this borrowing and the 2007 bonds will be paid off on October 1 of this year. So my report does contain annual debt service savings, but the option that we chose was to have 225,000 of savings that will occur both in 2021 and 2022. And then we will have about 52,000 savings from 2023 to 2026. And that's how we get to the $701,000. And the rest of my report is basically including the credit reports for Moody's, which is a very favorable report since we presented the 2019 audit, which does show the city adding to fund balance, which is always considered a good thing. And also the 2020 equalized values were released, which shows the city enjoying a very healthy 13% increase in its value. So those two new updates were presented to Moody's and were received very favorably by the reading committee. So the credit report is included as well as then the final resolution that the council is acting on. So any questions? Thank you very much. Are there any questions for Carol? Mayor, this is Alderman Boren. Yes. Go ahead. I just I just wanted to thank Carol for her work on this along with our finance director Marty. And for the people watching, this is refinancing our police department debt from back in 2007. And this is the $701,733 is a tremendous savings for us. So that's great. I hope there's some future ones that are coming up that we can back up the truck for also. Thanks. Thank you very much. Any other comments? Okay, with that then I'd ask the clerk to call the roll.
