Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects, repayments of the debt will be local option sales tax 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 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.
