10. A Resolution by the City of Plainview, Texas, Authorizing Refunding of Canadian
River Municipal Water Authority Subordinate Lien Contract Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series 2014 (Conjunctive Use Groundwater Supply Project) (Resolution R23-593)
Presenter: Jeffrey Snyder, City Manager
In June 2022, the City approved a Resolution authorizing the refunding on certain
outstanding bonds and with the volatile rate environment, CRMWA financial advisors
postponed that refunding in 2022.
Now that market conditions have settled from the period of sharp interest rate increases
that started roughly in October, CRMWA most likely will have an opportunity to conduct
a refunding for savings in the coming months. Each member city will need to update its
authorizing resolution to reflect a 2023 refunding that would allow this transaction to
happen up through July 2023, if market conditions allow.
