SUBJECT: Proceedings to Amend the 2010B Stormwater Revenue Capital Loan Notes
(State Revolving Fund Loan) for a Rate Reset (Refinancing) — North Catfish

DATE: July 9, 2020
Director of Finance and Budget Jennifer Larson recommends City Council approval of an
amendment to the City Stormwater Revenue State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan agreement
entered into as of January 13, 2010.
The original loan was for $800,000 and was used for the North Catfish Creek Stormwater
Project, which included phase I, phase II and III of the reconstruction of the North Fork
Catfish Creek stormwater system. The outstanding loan amount is currently $463,000 at
3% interest. This rate reset will reduce the interest rate to 1.75% for the remaining
$463,000 and will generate interest savings of $33,350.00.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Loan and Disbursement Agreement originally dated as of January 13, 2010 ("Agreement") by
and between the Council and the Iowa Finance Authority ("Purchaser"), and approved a
resolution ("Supplemental Resolution") amending the resolution approved by the Council on
December 21, 2009 ("Original Bond Resolution"), which Original Bond Resolution authorized
the issuance and delivery of a $800,000 (along with a forgivable note in the amount of $198,000)

and there has been no change in the use of the Project since the Original Note was issued.
5. The construction of the Project has been completed, and all of the proceeds of the
Original Note were expended on the costs of the Project, in the amounts and as described

Section, said amount retains the prior designation.
