EDGERTON, KS—The City of Edgerton,
Kansas last week awarded its Series 2010 Temporary Renewal Notes at a true
interest cost of 0.72%, an historically low interest rate for the City. The
notes are one-year tax-exempt securities issued in support of the Sunflower
Ridge development project.
“This is an outstanding result that will
benefit both City taxpayers and the property owners included in the Sunflower
Ridge development,” said City Administrator, David Dillner. “We were excited
that our notes priced so competitively in the market, especially compared with
similar recent offerings by other Kansas communities.” The low interest rate is
considered a near equivalent to an AA+/A- bond rating.
Earlier this year the City
annexed more than 400 acres, including a peak-power generating facility owned
by Kansas City Power and Light, Inc. The annexation will result in an increase
of the City’s assessed valuation from $9.2 million to $24.5 million.
The notes were purchased by UMB
Bank, n.a. of Kansas City by competitive bid. Gilmore & Bell, P.C. of
Wichita, Kansas, serves as bond counsel. Columbia Capital Management, LLC of
Overland Park, Kansas, serves as financial advisor to the City.
The Sunflower Ridge development
project is a preliminary platted development that will feature approximately
500 single-family homes, 27.28 acres of multi-family homes, and 12 acres of
commercial/retail space. The development is located northwest of the Sunflower
Road interchange off of 207th Street in Edgerton, Kansas. The real
estate owner is currently Agnes Gates Realty.
