Elmbrook again delays bond issue, Jan 8 2009
The Elmbrook School District is again postponing $31 million worth of
borrowing for construction projects, citing an unfavorable bond market.
The
district had delayed in October borrowing the second half of its $62.2
million high school renovation project, authorized by voters in a
referendum last year. The district had planned to proceed on Tuesday to
invite bids for a 20-year loan, Elmbrook Assistant Superintendent
Robert Borch said.
But that doesn't appear like it will happen.
"We're
concerned that we will have insufficient bidders and that those bidders
... will be at rates that will be unacceptable to what we have
budgeted," Borch said.
The district can afford to wait a little
longer, given that it has only spent about a tenth of $31 million
borrowed earlier after referendum authorization, he said. The next time
the district could try to take its bonds to market is Feb. 10, he said.
