Minutes of a reconvened regular public meeting of the Township Board of Campton Township, Kane County, Illinois, held at the Community Center 5N082 LaFox Rd., St. Charles, Illinois, in said Township at 7:30 p.m., on the 16th. day of August 2001.

The following Trustees were absent: None.

Open Space Resolution: The Supervisor announced that the next item for consideration on the agenda was the issuance of the Townships general obligation open space bonds and that the Township Board would consider the adoption of a resolution authorizing the sale of the bonds, the execution of a bond order in connection with the bonds, and the levy of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds.

Whereupon Dave Phillips presented and Bill Morris explained a resolution which was before the Township Board in words and figures as follows: The rating of the Township is A+ by Standard and Poors due to Neal and Julia’s work. We have the bond resolution prepared by Chapman and Cutler. The interest rate is below 5% (4.7%-4.9%). The low interest is from Neal’s good work negotiating. We will save 30K to 40K a year in interest. We got the interest so low only big investors were interested. The rating was half a notch higher then we anticipated. We are $6.00 to $10.00 per household cheaper then if we had done this a year ago. The numbers we gave the public will be slightly higher then what they actually end up paying.
