This rate is equivalent to the interest rate on County utility revenue <br />bonds. This prevents the County from lending at lower rates than our own borrowing costs. After early payoff of Series 2005 Water & Sewer Revenue bonds in <br />2015, the maximum interest rate on utility bonds is 5.00%, therefore, on December 15, 2015, staff has recommended decreasing the minimum interest rate to 5.0% <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 economic <br />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 published on <br />Bloomberg, with a minimum rate of 5.75% adopted on February 5, 2002. <br />C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Tech nologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@F80C3848\@BCL@F80C3848.xls 74 <br />
