SUBJECT: Proceedings to Set Public Hearing on the Issuance of Not to Exceed

2014B
DATE: October 15, 2014
Budget Director Jennifer Larson recommends that a public hearing be set for November
3, 2014, on the proposition of selling not to exceed $575,000 in Tax -Exempt General
Obligation Bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to pay costs of projects in the City
budget previously approved by the City Council including Bunker Hill Golf Course
Irrigation; Replacement of Three Replacement HVAC Units in City Hall; Transit Bus
Stop Improvements; Fire Station #2 Improvements; Skate Park Design; and Ham House
Tuck -Pointing Design.
Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects,
repayments of the debt will be from Local Option Sales Tax.
The borrowing is subject to the "reverse referendum" procedures, under which petitions
may be filed prior to the hearing asking that the bond proposal be submitted to an
election. To qualify, a petition must be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten
percent of the number who voted at the last regular municipal election (but not less than
ten persons).
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.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend the setting of a public hearing on
the proposal to issue General Obligation Bonds, the proceeds of which will be used for
general corporate purposes of the City for projects in the City budget previously
approved by the City Council. A letter from attorney Mark Cory detailing information on
the bond hearing is enclosed.
DISCUSSION
Of the bond amount:
• $120,000 is intended to provide funds to pay costs of Bunker Hill Golf Course
Irrigation with repayment from Local Option Sales Tax.
• $200,000 is intended to provide funds for Replacement of 3 HVAC Units in City
Hall with repayment from the Local Option Sales Tax.
• $30,000 is intended to provide funds for Transit Bus Stop Improvements with
repayment from Local Option Sales Tax.
• $125,000 is intended to provide funds for Fire Station #2 Improvements with
repayment from Local Option Sales Tax.
• $50,000 is intended to provide funds for Skate Park Design with repayment from
Local Option Sales Tax.
• $22,000 is intended to provide funds for Ham House Tuck -pointing Design with
repayment from Local Option Sales Tax.
• $10,000 is intended to provide funds for bond issuance costs and
• $18,000 to be a contingency for fluctuations in the bond market for interest rates,
bond issuance costs and change in project costs.
Although the City is selling General Obligation Bonds to support the projects,
repayments of the debt will be Local Option Sales Tax.
The borrowing is subject to the "reverse referendum" procedures, under which petitions
may be filed prior to the hearing asking that the bond proposal be submitted to an
election. To qualify, a petition must be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten
percent of the number who voted at the last regular municipal election (but not less than
ten persons).
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.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully recommend the adoption of the enclosed resolution fixing the date of
November 3, 2014 for a public hearing on the proposition of selling not to exceed
$575,000 Tax -Exempt General Obligation Capital Loan Notes, Series 2014B and
providing publication of notice.

RE: Dubuque, Iowa — General Obligation Capital Loan Notes, Series 2014
(ECP/GCP/UR)
Dear Jenny:
Direct Dial;
515.246.0378
We have now prepared and are enclosing suggested proceedings to be acted upon by the
City Council in fixing the date of a meeting on the proposition to issue the above mentioned
notes and are ordering publication of a notice of hearing consistent with the provisions of the
Iowa Code. (See publication requirement.) A separate set of procedure is enclosed for each type
of purpose. We understand that the hearings will be held on November 3, 2014.
As to the non -urban renewal essential corporate purpose portion of the note issue, notice of
this meeting must be published at least once in a legal newspaper, printed wholly in the English
language, published at least once weekly, and having general circulation in the City. The date of
publication is to be not less than four clear days nor more than twenty days before the date of
said public meeting on the issuance of said notes. In computing time, the date of publication
should be excluded. If the last day falls on Sunday, the whole of the following Monday should
be excluded. (See ICS 4.1(4).)
At the time of said hearing the Council shall receive oral or written objections from any
resident or property owner of the City, to the proposed action to issue said notes. After all
objections have been received and considered, the Council is required, at that meeting or at any
adjournment thereof, to take additional action for the issuance of said notes or to abandon the
proposal to issue said notes.
As to the urban renewal purpose portion of this issue, notice of this meeting must be
published at least once in a legal newspaper, printed wholly in the English language, published at
least once weekly, and having general circulation in the City. The date of publication is to be not
less than ten clear days nor more than twenty days before the date of public meeting on the
WISHARD & BAILY - 1888; GUERNSEY & BAILY- 1893; BAILY & STIPP - 1901; STIPP, PERRY, BANNISTER & STARZINGER - 1914; BANNISTER, CARPENTER,

issuance of the notes. In computing time, the date of publication should be excluded. If the last
day falls on Sunday, the whole of the following Monday should be excluded.
At any time before the date of the hearing, a petition may be filed with the Clerk
requesting that the issuance of the notes be submitted to an election. To qualify, a petition must
be signed by eligible electors equal to at least ten percent of the number who voted at the last
regular municipal election (but not less than ten persons).
The Council is required by statute to adopt the resolution instituting proceedings to issue
the notes at the hearing -- or an adjournment thereof. If necessary to adjourn, the minutes are
written to accommodate that action.
As to the two general corporate purpose portions of the note issue, notice of each meeting
must be published at least once in a local newspaper, printed wholly in the English language,
published at least once weekly, and having general circulation in the City. The date of
publication is to be not less than ten clear days nor more than twenty days before the date of
public meeting on the issuance of the notes. In computing time, the date of publication should be
excluded. If the last day falls on Sunday, the whole of the following Monday should be
excluded. (See Code Section 4.1 [34]).
If one or more valid petitions are filed, we should be notified immediately since future
proceedings will have to be prepared to cover the action taken by the Council in either declaring
the proposal to issue the notes to have been abandoned or the directions of the Council to the
County Commissioner to call a special election upon the question of issuing the notes.
An extra copy of the above procedure for each set is enclosed to be filled in as the original
and certified back to this office. We are also enclosing an extra copy of each Notice of Hearing
to be delivered to the newspaper for publication purposes. Copies of the Publisher's Affidavits
covering publication of the Notices will need to be forwarded to us.
If you have any questions pertaining to the procedure enclosed or the above mentioned
instructions, please don't hesitate to contact our office.
Very trill yours
