FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the State Treasurer's Office, Attorney General's Office and the State Auditor's Office assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



Officials of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume that bonds are sold on an as needed basis. Bond sales lag authorization by approximately 3 years.



37(e) money is approved for $10 million to be spent as follows:

$3 Million for the 40% State Construction Grant Program

$2.5 Million for the Rural Water and Sewer grants

$4.5 Million for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (20% match required to receive Federal Funds)



37(g) money is approved for $10 Million to be spent as follows:

$5 Million for Rural Water grants and loans

$5 Million for Rural Sewer grants and loans









ASSUMPTION (continued)



37(h) money is approved for $20 Million to be spent as follows:

$10 Million for storm water grants

$10 Million for storm water loans



Officials from the Office of Administration assume 1) Issue date will depend on the use of available bond proceeds for bonds authorized but not yet issued.; 2) 25 year maturity; 3) 7% interest rate; 4) Level debt service; 5) Analyzed cost is based on sale in FY06 of $15 million for section 37(g). Sections 37(e) and 37(h) will not use new authorization in FY04 through FY06.
