This rate is equivalent to the interest rate on County <br /> utility revenue bonds. This prevents the County from lending at lower rates than our own borrowing costs. <br /> (2) Due to highly fluctuating interest rates, the County adjusted interest rates every six months, rather than every twelve months for calendar year 2001. <br /> (3) On December 18, 2007, the BCC approved setting this at the minimum rate of 5.75% as opposed to the prime rate of 7.25% in light of current <br /> economic conditions. <br /> Note: The County sets a standard interest rate on all financing at the beginning of each calendar year. This rate is equivalent to the prime rate as <br /> published on Bloomberg, with a minimum rate of 5.75% adopted on February 5, 2002. <br /> W <br /> 00 fAbudget\jason\misc\interest rate history.As 12/5/2013 <br />
