Department of Natural Resources. Resolution 5246 approves the terms of the financing for
$14,4701000.
Kenyon moved Resolution 5246, a resolution relating to $14,470,000 Sewerage System Revenue
Bond (DNRC Revolving Loan Program), Series 2007; authorizing the issuance and fixing the
terms and conditions thereof. The motion was seconded.
Patrick gave a staff report and Robertson answered questions.
Hafferman remarked that if the pace of construction drops in areas that are already annexed, we may
have trouble making the loan repayments unless we start watching our annexations with a "leary"
eye, especially with enlargement of existing systems. He said we should be making the highest
payment possible for the next few years with the impact fees collected and he would like to see the
loan repayment of Exhibit C revised to show equal annual payments over the 20-year period.
Robertson responded if the repayment schedule is changed, the City would have to implement a rate
increase because the amount we borrowed was based on what we could afford.
The motion carried unanimously upon roll call vote with Kluesner and Saverud absent.
