Van Milligen, City Manager Dubuque All-Aoerin City wvxsiw r w- i i 2007*2012.2013 2017*2019 SUBJECT: Maturity Extensions of Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (Interim Financing) State Revolving Fund Planning and Design Loans DATE: February 25, 2025 Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Larson is recommending City Council approval of the suggested proceedings to enable the City to extend the maturity date of the Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (Interim Financing) State Revolving Fund Planning and Design Loans. $290,000 State Revolving Fund Planning and Design Loans were issued. The proceeds will be used to fund the planning and design of the High Strength Waste Receiving & Storage Project. The High Strength Waste Receiving & Storage Project provides receiving and storage facilities for the handling and anaerobic digestion of hauled, high - strength organic wastes. The project improves anaerobic digestion process control by reducing the variability in volatile solids loading to the digesters. The project will allow for a more consistent balance of acid to alkalinity in the digesters and will allow for the maximum production of biogas. The Iowa Finance Authority has agreed to extend the maturity date of the planning and design loans from September 24, 2024, to September 24, 2026. The planning and design loans will continue to bear an interest rate of 0% until the date of their maturity. The City has the right to prepay principal of the planning and design loans in whole or in part at any time prior to the maturity date. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. Michael C.
