Council Action: 4/9/2025
Description

Resolution instituting proceedings to take additional action for the issuance of not to exceed $930,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2025 (GCP-3).
Background/Discussion

Issuance of not to exceed $930,000 General Obligation Bonds, in order to provide funds to pay the costs of:

 a) The improvement and equipping city facilities, including the law enforcement training and utility facilities;

 b) The acquisition, construction, reconstruction, enlargement, improvement, and equipping of swimming pools and recreation grounds, including Pirates Cove; and

 c) Planning for development of public improvements, including streets, flood plain, traffic control, public art,

for general corporate purposes, and that notice of the proposal to issue the Bonds and the right to petition for an election had been published as provided by Section 384.26 of the Code of Iowa.

Recommendation

This is Step 3 of the General Obligation Bonding process, which is to conduct public hearings to approve the bond purposes by project outlined in the FY26-FY30 CIP. It is in the best interest of the City to continue to move forward in the process of proposing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds to satisfy the funding requirements for capital improvement projects for FY26.
