SUMMARY:It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Figuring Out Priorities in a Municipal Budget and Getting a Tax Anticipation Note To Carry You Through
DESCRIPTION:Municipalities often confront challenges balancing the goals of their community with the timing of tax revenue. While funds are necessary almost immediately\, it can take months for taxes to be paid into the municipality to meet the budgetary demands.  For many communities a tax anticipation note or TAN is the obvious route to fiscal sanity during those unstable times. Executing on a TAN in time to meet payroll and other obligations of a community can often be tricky and a race to closing.  \n\n\n\nJoin Obermayer Rebmann attorneys\, PFM financial advisors and underwriters from PNC for an hourlong presentation on how a TAN works\, how one goes about pricing and obtaining it\, and how it gets documented and closed in time to meet your budgetary needs.  Each of these presenters has been a trusted advisor to numerous municipalities- enabling their leaders to efficiently fulfill important obligations to residents even in the face of uneven economic times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas S.
