The Bond History

The Carson Valley Swim Center was built with a 20-year $2.5 million bond. The bonds were sold in November 1986 and will be paid off in November 2006.

The original bonds had an average coupon rate of 6.361%. In January 1994 the District refunded the bonds to take advantage of the low interest rates available at that time.

The refunded bonds have an average coupon rate of 4.266%. This will result in a savings to the District taxpayers of $142,676 compared to the repayment cost of the original bonds.

The current bonds are callable November 2003. Figure 1 shows the principal balance of the bonds from November 1, 1996 to November 1, 2006.
