Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement between the City of Round Rock and the Round Rock Transportation and Economic Development Corporation (RRTEDC) to Pay Debt Service on the 2025 Combination Tax and Limited Revenue Certificates of Obligation issued by the City of Round Rock.

 

Body

This agreement between the City and the RRTEDC (Type B) agrees to pay the debt on $20 million of CO debt to be approved by the City on April 24, 2025.  The debt will fund projects already approved by the RRTEDC and included on the TCIP.  Consistent with the April 2024 agreement, staff recommends shifting the debt payments to RRTEDC and fully leverage the capacity of RRTEDC in order to fund more road projects and mitigate the property tax rate burden on its citizens.

The City’s AAA-rated COs are a less expensive financing method than the RRTEDC’s AA+-rated sales tax revenue bonds.  Therefore, that method is recommended to accomplish the transaction.

Type B will have reviewed and voted on this item prior to the Council meeting.

 

Staff recommends approval.
