SERIES 1999 Boyd London, First Southwest Company, presented the tabulation of sealed bids received that date for the sale of $1,000,000 Euless Development Corporation Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 1999. He stated the rates ranged from 5.8076% to 6.0633%, and that the large range was due to the fluctuation in the stock market the past few days. He said that while these rates might seem high, based on an 18 year history, 5.8076% is a very good rate. He stated that Moody's credit rating was A2, which is a very good rating for sales tax revenue bonds because of the uncertainty of sales tax revenues.
