The Committee also approved the financing parameters for the issuance of the City's Capital Improvement Special Revenue Bond, Series 2015A, to refinance the April 1, 2015 designated maturities of the City's Medium Term Note Program.  The Series 2015A bond was approved by the City Council at its meeting on March 23, 2015.
