Bond Sale for Water ProjectsMEMORANDUM
October 17, 2002
TO:The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT:Issuance of General Obligation Bonds and Advertisement of General
Obligation Bonds for Sale
The City Council will hold two public hearings. The first public hearing is to consider the
sale of General Obligation Bonds in the amount not to exceed $3,300,000 to support the
new water tower and water main along the Northwest Arterial.
The second public hearing is to consider the sale of General Obligation Bonds in an
amount not to exceed $650,000 for the purpose of refunding the remaining portion of
$3,100,000 in General Obligation Bonds previously issued for Water Plant, Water
Pollution Control Plant, Street Construction and Storm Sewer Projects, which will save
the City $8,500 because of more favorable interest rates.
Assuming both of these issuances are approved, Finance Director Ken TeKippe is
recommending advertisement for sale of $3,110,000 in General Obligation Bonds. The
reason it is not $3,300,000 plus $650,000, for a total of $3,950,000, is because the bids
on the water project on the Northwest Arterial came in more favorable than originally
expected, and only $2,500,000 of the $3,300,000 is needed. Also only $610,000 of the
$650,00 is needed. The combination of $2,500,000 and $610,000 equals $3,110,000.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval of the sale of General Obligation Bonds in the amount not to exceed
$3,950,000 and the advertisement for sale of $3,110,000 in General Obligation Bonds.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM:Kenneth J. TeKippe, Finance Director
SUBJECT:Proceedings for Public Hearings on the Issuance of
General Obligation Bonds
DATE:October 14, 2002
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the suggested proceedings for the public
hearings on the issuance of General Obligation Bonds for the Water Projects and to
refund the General Obligation Bonds Series 1994, dated May 1, 1994.
Separate hearings should be held on each proposal. In each case, the proceedings
have been prepared on the basis that no objections will be flied 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 to be closed. Immediately following the first
hearing, a resolution is to be introduced and adopted entitled "Resolution Instituting
Proceedings to Take Additional Action for the Issuance of Not to Exceed $3,300,000
General Obligation Bonds". Following the second hearing, a resolution entitled
"Resolution Instituting Proceedings to Take Additional Action for the Issuance of Not to
Exceed $650,000 General Obligation Bonds" should be introduced and adopted.
In the event the Council decides to abandon either proposal to issue said Bonds, then
the form of resolution included in said proceedings should not be adopted. In this event,
a motion needs to be adopted to the effect that such Bond proposal is abandoned.
Section 384.25 of the Code of Iowa provides that any resident or property owner of the
City may appeal the decision to take additional action to issue the Bonds, to the District
Court of a county in which any part of the City is located, within 15 days after such
additional action is taken, but that the additional action is final and conclusive unless the
court finds that the Council exceeded its authority.
Bond Counsel William Noth has also prepared suggested proceedings to direct the
advertisement of Bonds for sale, in the principal amount of $3,110,000 and to approve
the form of Notice of Bond Sale (attached). Under the schedule proposed, these
proceedings should be considered following the public hearings and adoption of the
resolutions taking additional action, with the sale date set for November 4, 2002.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for installation of a 16-inch water main from Highway 20 north along the east side of the Northwest Arterial to John F. Kennedy Road, and then west
on John F. Kennedy Road to the new water tower located at the soccer complex.
JUSTIFICATION
This project will dramatically increase fire flows and carrying capacity to the fourth pressure zone and industrial parks west of Radford Road. This project will serve as a
main transmission tine from the proposed elevated storage tank at the Soccer Complex. This project will be funded with a $1,500,000 General Obligation Bond issue paid
~vith water revenues. Debt service will require a 2% rate increase in Fiscal Year 2003, 2004 and 2006.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project will improve flows into the fourth pressure zone and supply water to areas being developed west of town and will eliminate the need to do major improvements
to the Asbury pump station. This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Infrastructure Element: Goals 1.1, 1.2, 11.1, 11.7, and 11.9; and the Land Use and Urban
Design Element: Goals 2.2 and 3.1.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project has created a fourth pressure zone in the Water Distribution System. This improvement has successfully provided adequate water pressure to areas of the
City located in higher elevations. In Fiscal Year 2003 the project provides for a new one million gallon hydropillar water tower located on John F. Kennedy Road next to the
soccer complex.
JUSTIFICATION
The number of water users is increasing due to rapfd expansion of the city on the west side. The new hydropillar water tank will provide the necessary storage for reserve
water capacity as well as extra capacity for fire protection. This project will be funded with a General Obligation bond issue of $1,400,000 in Fiscal Year 2003. The annual
debt service on this issue will be financed with current water revenues plus a two percent rate increase in Fiscal Year 2003, 2004 and 2006. The rate increases will each
generate an additional $70,000 in water fees to be used for debt service.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Infrastructure Element: Goals 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.
