RE: Paying Agent Services
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: When the City issues bonds, it hires a “paying agent”
bank to do the recordkeeping and process principal/interest payments to bondholders over
the life of the issue. This has become a niche market and only a couple of banks currently
offer this service in the Midwest. We recently looked into consolidating our bond issues at a
single bank and, in the process, were offered an extraordinary deal by Bank of New York.
BONY is willing to perform paying agent services for an annual fee of $100/issue ($75/issue if
paid in advance). We had been considering consolidating at US Bank in conjunction with
Muskegon County for a fee of $300/issue. In further discussions with US Bank, it was clear
that they were not prepared to match BONY’s proposal.

• Lock in excellent rate for future bond issues
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to enter into the attached agreement
with BONY, terminate current paying agent services with US Bank, consolidate all current
and future paying agent services with BONY and advance pay for these services.
