Editor\u2019s note: Transcript provided by CoverGov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trophy Club Town Council members unanimously approved issuance of $8.15 million in bonds for city projects at a Nov. 10 special meeting<\/a>, saving $191,175 due to an error recognized after the Town Council voted<\/a> for the same bonds in June.<\/p>\n

The June 23 vote led to a bond sale planned for August, but a typographical error was identified in one of the required postings<\/a> for that sale and necessitated repeating a portion of the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The delay, however, resulted in a better interest rate, dropping to 3.4878% on Nov. 10, down from 3.6227% on Aug. 25 \u2014 saving $191,175 for Trophy Club residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bond proceeds will pay for<\/a> street and sidewalk improvements that include Forest Hill Drive, Paint Rock Court and Palmetto Court for a $2.9 million total; Oakmont Drive sidewalk improvements along Parkview Drive and Durango Drive for a $250,000 total; Skyline Drive and Creekside Drive; and remodel of the streets and parks maintenance shop ($500,000).<\/p>\n

The Nov. 10 meeting was designated as a special meeting because the town council\u2019s regularly scheduled 6 p.m. meeting \u2014 and the Nov. 11 holiday \u2014 could alter the interest rate for the bond sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause tomorrow is a holiday with Veterans Day (bond underwriters are) not open and are unable to process it, so we\u2019d have to wait all the way until Wednesday,\u201d Brandon Wright, the town manager, said.<\/p>\n
