the Golden Valley Road Assessment District was
GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD
formed in cooperation with five developers with the
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT -
purposes of constructing Golden Valley Road from
STATUS REPORT ON
I14 to Sierra Highway. The City has established a
SURETIES - STATUS REPORT
district ,and has been ready to proceed with the
ON BOND SALES
sale of bonds since June 1992 under the terms of
the funding and acquisitions agreement approved by
this Council on April 2, 1992. The City in
adopting Amcal's funding and acquisition agreement
allowed them to begin construction of their homes.
That agreement further provided that in the event
that the other developers were not able to proceed
with the district the City would consider a
smaller, single issue bond sale. Since the record
of performance of the other four developers in the
unique aspects of the proposed financial
arrangements have become matters of concern staff
recommends that the City issue bonds for this
portion of Golden Valley for Amcal. This amount
would be approximately $880,000.00 plus associated
costs.
