Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects, repayments of the debt will be local option sales tax, Sanitary Sewer Fund, Dubuque Industrial Center TIF and Greater Downtown TIF. Additionally, as to the General Corporate Purpose and Urban Renewal portions of the issuance, at any time before the date of the hearing, a petition may be filed with the City Clerk requesting that the issuance of the bonds 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). If a valid petition is filed, Bond Counsel should be notified as soon as possible since the hearing proceedings will have to be revised to cover the action taken by the Council in either abandoning the proposal to issue the Bonds or directing the County Commissioner to call a special election upon the question of issuing the Bonds. Section 384.25 of the Code of Iowa, provides that any resident or property owner of the City may appeal the decision to take additional action to issue the Bonds, to the District Court of a county in which any part of the city is located, within 15 days after such additional action is taken, but that the additional action is final and conclusive unless the court finds that the City Council exceeded its authority. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. � k 41V;A� Michael C.

Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects, repayment of the debt will be local option sales tax, Sanitary Sewer Fund, Dubuque Industrial Center TIF and Greater Downtown TIF. Additionally, as to the General Corporate Purpose and Urban Renewal portions of the issuance, at any time before the date of the hearing, a petition may be filed with the City Clerk requesting that the issuance of the bonds 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). If a valid petition is filed, Bond Counsel should be notified as soon as possible since the hearing proceedings will have to be revised to cover the action taken by the Council in either abandoning the proposal to issue the Bonds or directing the County Commissioner to call a special election upon the question of issuing the Bonds. Section 384.25 of the Code of Iowa, provides that any resident or property owner of the City may appeal the decision to take additional action to issue the Bonds, to the District Court of a county in which any part of the city is located, within 15 days after such additional action is taken, but that the additional action is final and conclusive unless the court finds that the City Council exceeded its authority.

The proceedings are for the meeting on Monday, April 4, 2022. They fix the date of the hearings for Monday, April 18, 2022. These proceedings also direct publication of the notices of public hearing prior to the April 18th meeting. Notice of this meeting must be published at least once in a legal newspaper, printed wholly in the English language, published at least once weekly, and having general circulation in the City. As to the Essential Corporate Purpose portion of the issuance, the date of publication is not less than four clear days nor more than twenty days before the date of the public meeting on the issuance of the bonds. As to the General Corporate Purpose and Urban Renewal portions of the issuance, the date of publication is to be not less than ten clear days no more than twenty days before the date of the public meeting on the issuance of bonds. In computing time, the date of publication should be excluded. If the last day falls on Sunday, the whole of the following Monday should be excluded. We recommend you publish all notices at the same time for convenience and consistency. They should be published between March 29th and April 5, 2022. Additionally, as to the General Corporate Purpose and Urban Renewal portions of the issuance, at any time before the date of the hearing, a petition may be filed with the Clerk requesting that the issuance of the bonds be submitted to an election.

Appeal to District Court. Section 384.25 of the Code of Iowa, provides that any resident or property owner of the City may appeal the decision to take additional action to issue the Bonds, to the District Court of a county in which any part of the city is located, within 15 days after such additional action is taken, but that the additional action is final and conclusive unless the court finds that the Council exceeded its authority. Please send executed copies of each of the proceedings filled out as originals to our office, together with the publisher's affidavit of the publication of notices of hearings. We would also appreciate electronic scans of the completed documents. We will send proceedings for the date of hearings in advance of the April 18a' meeting.
