[Arrival of Loren Matthes] Mr. Donaldson: The bonds which were issued in 1998 can not be redeemed or prepaid to the bond holders until December 2007. We are doing an advance refunding which means we issue the bonds today at the lower interest rates and put that money in an escrow that will then mature in a little over a year in the amount that will payoff those old bonds. The economics are such that we show a savings. The debt service on the new bonds is less than the debt service on the old bonds and it will be the exact same terms. There won't be any extension of maturities. The final interest rate will be negotiated in the marketplace. Ms. Matthes distributed a savings analysis report. The estimated savings is close to $300,000 based on November 1st rates. It depends on where the mm'ket is when these are actually placed. Costs incurred for the "refinancing" are paid out of the bonds. Mr. Donaldson gave some further clarification about the redevelopment district and the payment plan explaining about TIF and COIT.
