David Deeds, 922 Mulberry Street, questioned the purpose of the Rath TIF CIP request, the
$300,000 demolition and housing incentive, how much of that loan was spent last year, and how
much is being spent this year as incentive as opposed to demolition.
Noel Anderson explained the Rath bonding is being used to expand and aid in acquisitions in the
area and for demolition to help existing businesses in the area. A portion has also been used as
matching funds for the Waterloo Housing Improvement program, matching funds with the state, for
new housing development.
David Deeds questioned the term of the bonds used for demolition and the interest rate on those
bonds.
Michelle Weidner responded the demolition bonds will most likely be fifteen -year bonds and does
not have information on the interest rate at this time.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4t' Street questioned the total amount being borrowed with these proceedings.
Michelle Weidner explained that $18.1 million is being borrowed in new money, $2.8 is being used
for refunding bonds, paying off prior bonds and that the hearing authority is not always the same as
the actual issues.
John Sherbon, 1750 Robin Road, questioned the total cost of bonds over fifteen years, how it will
impact the tax levy and why citizens are not afforded more information regarding the impact.
Michelle Weidner explained the competitive bond sale process. She further explained the City will
pay around $3 million in interest on its GEO debt this year, on all outstanding debt, not including
these bonds. She also explained the City has held its debt service tax levy rate at the same level for
the past four years, about $7.8million and the other revenues sources used to pay on the various
bonds.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, questioned how much is the sewer revenue and how much goes to
debt service.
Michelle Weidner explained the annual budget for sewer revenue is approximately $12 million
dollars and can provide the amount going to debt service if Mr. Obadal would contact her office.
Mr. Jacobs questioned if the city could get a projected rate of interest on the bonds.
Michelle Weidner explained that one year ago the bonds were sold at 1.71% and that the fed has
raised rates since then. The rate on the $8.1 issue will most likely be higher but it will be paid by the
developer so will not have a direct impact on the taxpayers. She estimated the interest rate will be in
the ballpark of 2.5% but will know more in the following weeks.
146392 - Morrissey/Powers
that the hearing be closed and oral and written comments be received and placed on file. Voice
vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
146393 - Morrissey/Amos
that "Resolution to institute proceedings to take additional action of issuance of said bonds", be
adopted. Roll -call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
Mr. Lind questioned if this action has already been taken for the development agreement with
Marriot.
Michelle Weidner explained action was taken on that by the Council and approved at a public
hearing on September 8, 2015.
Mr. Lind commented that a few weeks ago discussion occurred regarding the lack of input by
council on the CIP and questioned if council is still able to reallocate funds within the bond issue.
May 8, 2017
Page 7
Mayor Hart commented he is working on a different process for the CIP so there is more
engagement with the Council.
Michelle Weidner explained that the general purposes of the bonds are being approved tonight and
that funds within the same hearing can be moved around within each issuance.
