Stormwater Utility Revenue Capital Loan Notes $14.7M HearingMasterpiece on the Mississippi TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager Dubuque kital All- America City II 111! 2012 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. Michael C.

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.
