Van Milligen, City Manager 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.

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.
