SUBJECT: Proceedings for Public Hearing on the Issuance of Not to Exceed
$14,767,000 Stormwater Utility Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State
Revolving Loan Program)
DATE: June 6, 2013
Budget Director Jennifer Larson is recommending City Council approval of the
suggested proceedings for the public hearing on the issuance of Stormwater Utility
Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Program) prepared by Bond
Counsel and to present a resolution for City Council to adopt entitled "Resolution
Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional Action for the Authorization of a Loan and
Disbursement Agreement."
The master plan for the Bee Branch Restoration Project was completed in 2004. This
plan, which was designed after much input from the citizens of Dubuque, is the
community's strategic plan to remove over 1,150 residential and non - residential
properties from future flooding while creating a beautiful linear park amenity.
In May 2012, the City submitted a $1,237,400 application for an Economic Development
Administration Disaster grant for a portion of day - lighting Bee Branch Creek and its
associated flood plain portion of green infrastructure. The City requested EDA funding
for the creek restoration portion of the project, which is the highest priority and is the
essential piece to move the entire project forward by demonstrating resiliency and
protecting 1,150 homes and businesses from future disastrous flooding.
The estimated cost to construct the creek, construct the associated flood plain, relocate
utilities (sanitary sewer and water main) and relocate streets that intersect the new
creek is $10,226,150. The $1,237,400 requested for the construction of the restored
creek through EDA's Disaster Relief program represents 12% of the project cost. The
City is committed to funding the remaining $8,988,750 using Stormwater Utility Revenue
Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Fund Program).
In September 2012, the City was informed by the U.S. Economic Development
Administration that the application for the Bee Branch Disaster Resiliency Project was
selected through EDA's competitive application review process for further consideration
for funding in the amount of $1,227,138. In order to have the EDA further consider the
application for funding, the City had to provide additional information. The additional
information required includes information about the local match, including what type of
debt will be issued, the process and timeline for issuing the debt and a timeline showing
when the City Council will be able to meet to pass a resolution for issuing the debt and
when the public hearings will be held.
Staff is recommending holding the public hearing on the issuance of the SRF debt on
June 17, 2013 and adopting the resolution to satisfy the EDA requirement of the local
match being fully committed and readily available and the resolution for the issuance of
the debt approved. Although the City Council set the public hearing for June 17, 2013
on the proposition of selling not to exceed $14,767,000 in Stormwater Utility Revenue
Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Fund Program), the City will not actually
issue the debt until February 2014 when the construction of the project will be bid.
The proceedings have been prepared on the basis that no objections or petitions calling
for an election on the bond proposal will be filed with the City Clerk. If there are
objections, we will need to summarize them. The Mayor will then declare the hearing on
the issuance of said bonds closed. Immediately following, and assuming no petitions
have been filed, a resolution is to be introduced and adopted entitled "Resolution
Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional Action for the Authorization of a Loan and
Disbursement Agreement."
In the event the Council decides to abandon the proposal to issue said bonds, then the
form of resolution included in said proceeding should not be adopted. In this event, a
motion needs to be adopted to the effect that such bond proposal is abandoned.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the suggested proceedings for the public
hearing on the issuance of Stormwater Utility Revenue Capital Loan Notes (State
Revolving Loan Fund Program) prepared by Bond Counsel and to present a resolution
for City Council to adopt entitled "Resolution Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional
Action for the Authorization of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement." The proceeds of
which will be used for essential corporate purposes of the City. A letter from attorney Bill
Noth detailing information on the bond hearing is enclosed.
DISCUSSION
In May 2012, the City submitted a $1,237,400 application for an Economic Development
Administration Disaster grant for a portion of day - lighting Bee Branch Creek and its
associated flood plain portion of green infrastructure. The City requested EDA funding
for the creek restoration portion of the project, which is the highest priority and is the
essential piece to move the entire project forward by demonstrating resiliency and
protecting the area from future disastrous flooding.
The estimated cost to construct the creek, construct the associated flood plain, relocate
utilities (sanitary sewer and water main) and relocate streets that intersect the new
creek is $10,226,150. The $1,237,400 requested for the construction of the restored
creek through EDA's Disaster Relief program represents 12% of the project cost. The
City is committed to funding the remaining $8,988,750 using Stormwater Utility Revenue
Capital Loan Notes (State Revolving Loan Fund Program).
In September 2012, the City was informed by the U.S. Economic Development
Administration that the application for the Bee Branch Disaster Resiliency Project was
selected through EDA's competitive application review process for further consideration

RE: Not to exceed $14,767,000 Stormwater Utility Revenue Capital Loan
Notes
(Iowa Water Pollution Control Works Financing Program)
Dear Ms. Larson:
With this letter I am enclosing suggested Council proceedings for the date of the
public hearing on the proposal to issue the above Notes. 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. We would suggest that, in
this event, a motion merely be adopted to the effect that such proposal is abandoned.
An extra copy of the proceedings is enclosed to be completed as the original and
certified back to our office.
