Municipal/Council borrowing - how does it work ?

How does a Council obtain funding from banks for projects - such as, say construction related. For example, assuming that they could go to the City, how would they go about approaching a City Financial firm ?

Regards.

Head of Local Authority Funding Acme Bank PLC

Dear Sir

I am the Treasurer of Spendthrift Borough Council.

We want to build a car park but have no money.

The council authorised the borrowing under minute 234/04 dated dd/mm/yyyy.

Our statutory papers of Incorporation are attached in which our authority to borrow is described.

We have the necessary permissions from Central Government to borrow the money - a copy of which is attached. We need £10m to be repaid over 50 years.

Our Audited Financial Statements are attached.

Interest at half per cent over 6 month LIBOR would be nice or could you quote for 50 years fixed?

Yours faithfully

A Treasurer

So once the letter hits the bank, to where would it go internally ?
