EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
EMMA Annual Bond Disclosure Reports:
The City is required each year to post and make public on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Boards (MSRB) Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website data related to each of the City’s outstanding Bond Series. Currently the City has three outstanding bond series. Those are the 2017 Refunded Water Bonds, 2017 Refunded Wastewater Bonds and the 2018 Successor Agency Tax Allocation Bonds. The data requirements include financial statements, bond information such as debt service schedules and fund balances, operating information, and reporting of any significant events.
The EMMA website was established to increase the transparency of the municipal securities market by providing free public access to municipal securities disclosures and data. EMMA provides investors, state and local governments, and other market participants with key information and tools to put that information into context. Staff is pleased to announce that they have completed the Annual Bond Disclosure Reports and posted all required material and data on the EMMA website before the deadline.
