Assistant City Manager Stan Drake said the interest rate was set earlier this month at 4.856 percent.
The bonds are part of the $18 million bond proposal approved by voters Nov. 4 to fund five road improvement projects.
The first project will begin this spring. It will widen SW 19 from four to six lanes and add sidewalks along 19th from W Interstate 35 Service Road to Telephone Road. City Manager Steve Eddy said the bond will increase property taxes by $6 a month for homes or businesses valued at $100,000.
The remaining projects will be completed in phases through 2011. They are:
--NE 12 from N Eastern to N Bryant avenues
--NW 5 from Markwell Avenue to Telephone Road
--NW 12 from Janeway Avenue to W I-35 Service Road
--Broadway from N 5 to N 18.
