DATE: October 12, 2009
Finance Director Ken TeKippe recommends City Council approval of the suggested
proceedings to complete action on the issuance of $2,935,000 General Obligation
Various City Projects Bonds, Series 2009A (Taxable Build America Bonds). The project
involves providing funds to pay costs of the acquisition of sewer pipeline inspection
equipment; the inspection and certification of the flood control levee system; the
construction and installation of storm water management facilities, including the Bee
Branch Creek Restoration Project, and the reconstruction of storm sewers; the
acquisition and replacement of street lights; the acquisition and installation of fiber optic
conduit in connection with street improvements and water main extensions; the repair
and improvement of the Dubuque Regional Airport, including hanger heater and
terminal boiler replacements, runway and hanger painting, hanger repairs and
replacements and parking area paving; the acquisition and replacement of Fire
Department ladder and pumper trucks and ambulances; and water utility improvements
including the construction and installation of water main extensions, ADA
improvements, back-up power supply and water consumption studies and engineering.
Although we are selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects, repayment of
the debt will be from fees, taxes and a debt service levy.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
