Bond Interest
Recognizing that there would be a gap between the time where bond payments became due and the time that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began making the Pass-Through Reimbursements, $3,239,848 of the bond issue was used to decrease the annual Series 2008 Bond Payments from Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2012. This reduced the impact on the debt service tax rate over three years.

Bond Issuance Costs
Total Cost: $315,153

All of the proceeds from the 2008 General Obligation Bonds have been spent.

Pass-Through Toll Program: Early Redemption

The Pass-Through Toll Program is an agreement between the City and the TxDOT. With this agreement, the City sold the 2008 General Obligation Bonds to fund the expansion of three state-owned roadways within the city limits and oversaw the construction. Upon completion of the projects, responsibility for maintenance of the roadways was returned to the state and TxDOT began to reimburse the City annually.

TxDOT began making annual payments to the City in Fiscal Year 2013. This repayment is structured with a minimum annual payment and an additional accelerated portion (the amount above the guaranteed minimum annual payment) based on traffic counts. The minimum annual payment is $2,009,570. The City Council has deemed any amount above the minimum payment be held as committed fund balance and, if possible, used for early redemption in order to reduce future interest payments. As of October 2017, the City has redeemed an additional $9,184,493 resulting in $5,884,388 in interest savings.
