3. 
Update on Board Vacancies – Ms. Lang offered that the Board recently lost two 
members, who have moved outside of the City.  Residency within the city limits is a 
requirement to serve on the IDA.  Ms. Lang is reviewing applications, and the Mayor will 
made a final recommendation to fill the appointments, which will go before Council for 
approval.   
4. 
Update on $600M Intel Bond Issue – Ms. Lang reported that all bond-related 
authorization paperwork was completed by the IDA in February, 2022 in preparation for 
Intel to issue the bond when the market was ready.   
 
Ms. Lily Berman-Landolt, bond attorney for Intel, stated that on September 8, 2022, the 
Authority closed its 4th new money bond issue in support of Intel’s investment in 
Chandler, with prior issuances being in 2005, 2007 and 2019.  The original target was 
March of 2022; however, certain Intel market factors delayed the issuance. Ms. Berman-
Landolt further noted that the bonds were issued on a draw-down basis, which is 
advantageous to Intel for various tax purposes. The bond issue date was September 8, 
2022, for Federal tax purposes and for Volume Cap purposes.  This draw down structure 
allows Intel to issue amounts for costs which have actually been incurred and provides 
an additional 3-years for them to be able to make draws on the $600,000,000 for the 
various Fabs at Ocotillo.  
 
In this issuance, the first sub-series of this draw down was made in the amount of 
$131,175,000 of par of bonds.  These mature in 20-years at variable interest rates, in 
different interest rate modes by the company, within parameters set by the Authority. 
Individually, the bonds are bearing tax-exempt interest at a five-year term rate of 5%, 
and at the end of the five years, the bonds will be re-marketed in a new interest rate 
mode until the bonds mature or are redeemed. All of the $600,000,000 that is authorized 
is Intel’s obligation to repay, and not the IDA’s.   
 
The issuance of tax-exempt bonds by the Authority is one of the few ways under Federal 
law that allows Chandler to provide a non-capped financing without incurring financial 
liability.  She reiterated Ms. Lang’s comment that the deal was done quickly, and 
approvals were ready to go when the market was favorable and met the SEC 
requirements that allow for a very small active window for selling bonds.  Ms. Berman-
Landolt offered her appreciation for the quick amount and speed of the work by the 
Authority, City Council, City Staff and other parties for this to come to fruition.   
 
Ms. Smith reported that with the new Intel bonds, the total annual administrative 
revenue from all outstanding bond fees for the IDA will be an estimated $140,000.
