The Town of Marilla has successfully refinanced
Water District 2 & 4, saving $347,000 (15%) in
budgetary savings. Initially the saving was projected
at $238,000 (10%). This was accomplished in part
by timing, a little luck and demonstrating sound
management. The Town was expected to get a good
financial rating by Standard and Poors; according to
our financial advisors. The expectation was an "A"
rating. The Town received a "AA" rating.
According to Jeff Smith of Municipal Solutions
(Financial Advisors), the reasons for the higher
rating was the management of the Town and "it
came across as loud and clear to the Raters that
(Gingerich) really knew what was happening in all
of his accounts". As of March 24th the Town no
longer has any short term debt., paid one year early.
Water District 3 is scheduled to be paid off in 5 more
years. Water District 5 I am still looking at better
financing options. My job is to continue to manage
the Town in an ethically and financially responsible
manner. Expecting nothing less from all Town
Officials. This translates into real savings and
credibility of the Town. I continue to work with
County Officials and fellow Town Supervisors on
various projects to help streamline services.Thank
you for your continued support.
