Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Proceedings to Set Public Hearing on the Issuance of Not to Exceed $13,035,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2019ABCD DATE: March 25, 2019 Director of Finance and Budget Jennifer Larson recommends that a public hearing be set for May 6, 2019, on the proposition of selling not to exceed $13,035,000 in General Obligation Bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to pay costs for Midtown Bus Transfer Relocation, Multicultural Family Center Addition Remodel, Five Flags Arena Chair Platform Section 3 Replacement and 18 Stage Deck Replacements, Fire Structural Repairs at Stations 5 and 6, Fire Quick Response Pumper, Grand River Center Energy Efficiency Improvements, Skate Park Improvements, and refund previously issued general obligation bonds that are callable to provide a savings in interest cost of an estimated $180,000. The estimated interest savings on the bond refundings are not robust and the taxable refunding of Series 2019C may be eliminated. The bond market will be monitored, and an informed decision will be made before releasing the public offering documents and announcing the sale. Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects, repayments of the debt will be local option sales tax and Greater powntown TIF. The refunding debt is repaid by local option sales tax, gaming revenue, stormwater user fees, sanitary sewer user fees, water user fees, parking user fees, Airport Passenger Facility Charges, Dubuque Industrial Center tax increment revenue, and Greater Downtown tax increment revenue. The borrowing is subject to the "reverse referendum" procedures, under which petitions may be filed prior to the hearing asking that the bond proposal be submitted to an election. To qualify, a petition must be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten percent of the number who voted at the last regular municipal election (but not less than ten persons). I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. f t r��i�f�� ��h Michael C.

DISCUSSION Of the bond amount: • $212,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of Midtown Bus Transfer Relocation/Improvements with repayment from local option sales tax. • $1,564,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of the Multicultural Family Center Addition Remodel with repayment from Greater powntown TI F. • $58,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of Five Flags Arena Chair PlatForm Section 3 Replacement and 18 Stage Deck Replacements with repayment from local option sales tax. • $215,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of Fire Structural Repairs at Stations 5 & 6 with repayment from local option sales tax. • $225,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of the purchase of a Fire Quick Response Pumper with repayment from local option sales tax. • $183,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of Grand River Center Energy Efficiency Improvements with repayment from local option sales tax. • $600,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of Skate Park Improvements with repayment from local option sales tax. • $9,510,000 is intended to provide funds to refund previously issued bond series that are now callable to realize estimated interest savings of $180,245. The refunding includes General Obligation Bond Series 2012D $4,370,000 and 2012C $5,140,000. The estimated interest savings on the bond refundings are not robust and the taxable refunding of Series 2019C may be eliminated. The bond market will be monitored, and an informed decision will be made before releasing the public offering documents and announcing the sale. . $38,593 is intended to provide funds to pay capitalized interest. . $234,572 is intended to provide funds for bond issuance costs and . $194,835 to be a contingency for fluctuations in the bond market for interest rates, bond issuance costs and change in project costs. Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects, repayments of the debt will be local option sales tax and Greater powntown TIF. The refunding debt is repaid by local option sales tax, gaming revenue, stormwater user fees, sanitary sewer user fees, water user fees, parking user fees, Airport Passenger Facility Charges, Dubuque Industrial Centertax increment revenue, and Greater Downtown tax increment revenue. The borrowing is subject to the "reverse referendum" procedures, under which petitions may be filed prior to the hearing asking that the bond proposal be submitted to an election. To qualify, a petition must be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten percent of the number who voted at the last regular municipal election (but not less than ten persons).
