Mark Cook referenced the financial reports <br />for Board review and commented that paying off this bond would save <br />the Public Facilities Fund around two hundred and fifty-nine thousand <br />dollars ($259,000) in interest payments. Discussion was held. Staff <br />was directed to follow up with COG and get a recommendation for Board <br />consideration before any action will be taken. <br />2020-07-27 MINUTES <br />
