transaction. After negotiating and restructuring, we were able to lower that down to a 2.08% which means more savings to
the Village. This will a better savings to the voters – originally was $1.50 increase, now will be a $1.47 increase. The overall
savings is going to be an excess of $800,000.00 for the Village due to the lower interest rate. As financial adviser, Mr. Archuleta
advised the Council to take the offer from RW Baird. Ms. Creagan went through the bond ordinance with the Council. These

necessary to construct and equipment a data center campus and related facilities within the Village limits for use by Greater
KUDU LLC. Payment on the bonds will be paid by the company to the Village. Mr. Martin introduced Ms. Jill Sweeny, Bond
Attorney. Ms. Sweeny is with the Sherman and Howard Law Firm and special Counsel to the Village in relation to the Great
KUDU LLC industrial revenue bond matter. The ordinance that is before you authorizes the sale of industrial revenue bonds
for the benefit of Greater KUDU. It calls for up to six series of bonds in the principal amount of $5,000,000,000.00 each for a
total term of thirty (30) years. The purpose of the bonds is to construct and equip a data center campus and related facilities
within the Village limits. Issuance of the bonds is conditioned on the disclosure of the identity of the parent company. The
bonds will be purchased by an affiliate of that company. The Village is not providing financing or lending its credit in any way.
The Village is agreeing to forgo certain future tax revenues – for example, the property taxes are very low (in the range of
$10.00/yr.). The first phase of this project will bring several highly paid positions as well as construction jobs to the site as
well as other related businesses to provide support for the data center. Ms. Sweeny read a letter of support that the Village
received from John Barela who is the Cabinet Secretary to the New Mexico Economic Development Department. Mayor Griego
asked Council if they had any questions – Councilman Romero asked if she, Ms. Sweeny, knew what the economic impact
would be regarding the tax abatement for this company. What Ms. Sweeny could say, is that it would bring 30-50 permanent
high paying jobs along with 200-300 construction job that would be ongoing for a five to seven year period for all six phases to
be completed. Mayor Griego asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to speak for or against the project -
there were none. Mr. David Buckles from Rodey Law Firm approached the podium – he was present representing Greater
KUDU LLC. Regarding the physical impact, while the project does abate gross receipts taxes on personal property, it does not
abate gross receipts taxes on construction services. Councilman Romero asked about the time line, how long it would take to
make a decision. Mr. Buckles replied they award as quickly as possible. Mayor Griego asked to close the public hearing and
Council would go back in to open meeting.
