Body
BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT:
Overall, accrued interest on the Certificates of Participation (COPs) through the Second Quarter was $157,702 which was slightly less than the prior fiscal year and consistent with the amortization schedules. The accrued interest does not equal the interest payment due to the timing of the semi-annual cash payment of the interest expense.

The proceeds from the issuance of the $11.66 million were used to refund and retire the 2009A COPS. In connection with this transaction, the District incurred a non-cash deferred loss on refunding that is reported as a deferred outflow of resources in the amount of $583,000 which will be recognized as a component of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. Principal payments on these 2019 Refunding COPS began August 2022, and the fiscal year to date interest accruals were $157,702.
ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES:
