2012 General Obligation (GO) Bond


Final Official Statement
Dated July 24, 2012
$1,995,000

GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS OF 2012

Miscellaneous Projects
On July 2, 2012, the Beech Grove City Council approved the issuance and sale of a General Obligation (GO) Bond in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000. Bond proceeds will be used for upgrades in municipal buildings, equipment and to address compliance issues with the Federal ADA Compliance Act and the funds should be available to the City in early August. 

Municipal Bonds are an important financial tool for local governments, providing needed funds for major capital projects or, as in this case, a number of smaller expenditures. GO Bonds are obligations payable out of ad valorem taxes levied and collected on all of the taxable property in the political subdivision issuing the bonds. Revenue Bonds are payable from the revenues of a particular project, such as a sewage works revenue bond.

With the retirement of two GO Bonds that mature in 2012 and 2013, the City is in a good position to issue this new bond to raise the "up front" money to pay for much needed repairs, replacements and infrastructure improvements. Tax dollars used to make payments on the retired bonds will be available to pay for this new bond.

Presented to the Board of Works and Public Safety:
Indiana Code 5-22-10-4 provides that the city may, under "emergency conditions," forego the usual and customary bidding process and may make a "special purchase"  when there exists "a threat to public health, welfare, or safety."
