The Series 1999 Bonds will be the first series of bonds issued by the County pledging the County's stormwater revenues. The improvements to the stormwater system are consistent with the Mayor's proposed bond program with respect to upgrading the stormwater system throughout the County.
The Ordinance provides for the submission of subsequent series resolution(s) to the Board for each series of bonds to be issued. Each series resolution will provide a more detailed description of the capital improvements to be financed and the terms, maturities, interest rates, and other details for the series of bonds to be issued.
