SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Issuance of Not to Exceed $50,000 Water Revenue
Capital Loan Notes Planning and Design Loan (State Revolving Loan
Fund Program) Lead Water Main Replacement Project
DATE: June 29, 2026
Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Larson is recommending City Council approval of the
suggested proceedings for a public hearing on the issuance of not to exceed $50,000
Water Revenue Capital Loan Notes Planning and Design Loan (State Revolving Loan
Fund Program) Lead Water Main Replacement Project. This project provides funding for
the removal and replacement of the Water Department's existing public lead water
mains: May Place, Union Street, Austin Street, Washington Street, and Roland Street.
This project will eliminate the department's public lead line water mains that were
installed in the early 1920's. This project will also include replacement of lead service
lines affected by the main replacements.
Approved P&D loans are 0% interest for up to three years to cover the costs of
engineering to prepare facility plans and project plans & specifications. The loans are
then typically rolled into a SRF construction loan or repaid by another source of
permanent financing.
The proceedings have been prepared to show as a first step the receipt of any oral or
written objections from any resident or property owner to the proposed action of the
Council to authorize the form of Loan and Disbursement Agreement and issue the Notes
to the Iowa Finance Authority. A summary of objections received or made, if any, should
be attached to the proceedings. After all objections have been received and considered
if the Council decides to enter into the Agreement and issue the Notes, a form of
resolution follows that should be introduced and adopted, entitled "Resolution Instituting
Proceedings to Take Additional Action."
In the event the Council decides to abandon the proposal, then the form of resolution
included in said proceedings should not be adopted. In this event, a motion merely be
adopted to the effect that such proposal is abandoned.

I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Public Hearing for the Issuance of Not to Exceed $50,000 Water Revenue
Capital Loan Notes Planning and Design Loan (State Revolving Loan
Fund Program) Lead Water Main Replacement Project
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests the City Council conduct a public hearing for the Issuance
of Not to Exceed $50,000 Water Revenue Capital Loan Notes Planning and Design
Loan (State Revolving Loan Fund Program) Lead Water Main Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND
This project provides funding for the removal and replacement of the Water
Department's existing public lead water mains: May Place, Union Street, Austin Street,
Washington Street, and Roland Street. This project will eliminate the department's
public lead line water mains that were installed in the early 1920's. This project will
also include replacement of lead service lines affected by the main replacements.
DISCUSSION
The Lead Water Main Replacement Project (CIP No. 4281000024) includes a current
FY26 total expense budget of $418,032.00 for the design and construction of portions of
the total project, with funding through the Drinking Water SRF program. The Water
Department has requested additional funds in FY27 to be able to complete construction
at all the replacement project sites.
Approved P&D loans are 0% interest for up to three years to cover the costs of
engineering to prepare facility plans and project plans & specifications. The loans are
then typically rolled into a SRF construction loan or repaid by another source of
permanent financing.
The proceedings have been prepared to show as a first step the receipt of any oral or
written objections from any resident or property owner to the proposed action of the
Council to authorize the form of Loan and Disbursement Agreement and issue the Notes
to the Iowa Finance Authority. A summary of objections received or made, if any, should
be attached to the proceedings. After all objections have been received and considered
if the Council decides to enter into the Agreement and issue the Notes, a form of
Page 810 of 853
resolution follows that should be introduced and adopted, entitled "Resolution Instituting
Proceedings to Take Additional Action."
In the event the Council decides to abandon the proposal, then the form of resolution
included in said proceedings should not be adopted. In this event, a motion merely be
adopted to the effect that such proposal is abandoned.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully request the City Council conduct a public hearing for the Issuance of Not
to Exceed $50,000 Water Revenue Capital Loan Notes Planning and Design Loan

Section 5. The Loan Proceeds are hereby appropriated to the payment of the Project

At its sole discretion, the City Council may appropriate to the payment of the Project Note
proceeds to be received from state or federal grants and/or income or revenues from sources to be
received and expended for the Project during the period of Project construction.
The Project Note is a limited obligation of the City payable solely and only from the Loan
Proceeds and shall not constitute a general obligation of the City, nor shall it be payable in any
manner by taxation, and under no circumstances shall the City be in any manner liable by reason
of the failure of the Loan Proceeds to be sufficient for the payment in whole or in part of the Project

other in the application of the Loan Proceeds regardless of the time or times of the issuance of such
Project Note or Parity Obligations, it being the intention of the City that there shall be no priority
among the Project Note or Parity Obligations, regardless of the fact that they may have been
actually issued and delivered at different times.
Section 8. The provisions of this resolution shall constitute a contract between the City

Parity Obligations and the interest thereon shall have been paid in full.

Section 4. The Project Note shall be executed as herein provided as soon after the
adoption of this resolution as may be possible and thereupon shall be delivered to the Registrar for
registration and delivery to the Lender, upon receipt of the Project Note proceeds.
Section 5. The Loan Proceeds are hereby appropriated to the payment of the Project
Note and may also be appropriated to the payment of other obligations issued to pay costs of the
Project, but only to the extent that full provision has been made for the payment of principal of the
Project Note.
At its sole discretion, the City Council may appropriate to the payment of the Project Note
proceeds to be received from state or federal grants and/or income or revenues from sources to be
received and expended for the Project during the period of Project construction.
The Project Note is a limited obligation of the City payable solely and only from the Loan
Proceeds and shall not constitute a general obligation of the City, nor shall it be payable in any
manner by taxation, and under no circumstances shall the City be in any manner liable by reason
of the failure of the Loan Proceeds to be sufficient for the payment in whole or in part of the Project
Note.
Section 6. Upon a breach or default of a term of the Project Note or any Parity
Obligations and this resolution, a proceeding may be brought in law or in equity by suit, action or
mandamus to enforce and compel performance of the duties required under the terms of this
resolution and Section 76.13 of the Code of Iowa.
Section 7. The City reserves the right to issue additional obligations (the "Parity
Obligations") payable from the Loan Proceeds, and ranking on a parity with, the Project Note. The
Project Note or any Parity Obligations shall not be entitled to priority or preference one over the
other in the application of the Loan Proceeds regardless of the time or times of the issuance of such
Project Note or Parity Obligations, it being the intention of the City that there shall be no priority
among the Project Note or Parity Obligations, regardless of the fact that they may have been
actually issued and delivered at different times.
Section 8. The provisions of this resolution shall constitute a contract between the City
and the owners of the Project Note and Parity Obligations as may from time to time be outstanding,
and after the issuance of the Project Note, no change, variation or alteration of any kind of the
provisions of this resolution shall be made without prior consent of the Lender which will
adversely affect the owners of the Project Note or Parity Obligations until the Project Note and
Parity Obligations and the interest thereon shall have been paid in full.
Section 9. If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this resolution shall be held
invalid, the invalidity of such section, paragraph, clause or provision shall not affect any of the
remaining provisions of this resolution.
Section 10. All resolutions and orders or parts thereof in conflict with the provisions of
this resolution are, to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed.
