123542 - Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, reported the city is issuing bonds
this year for a large variety of projects, and Iowa State Law has very specific
provisions about the procedures the council must follow in order to approve
selling those bonds. One type of bond that can be sold is called for an
Essential Corporate Purpose, and .those are for activities and projects that the
State Legislature has determined are essential to conduct city operations, for
things such as streets, police and fire, those kinds of activities. For
citizens to object to those, their options are a little more limited. For all
the other hearings that are considered a General Corporate Purpose, including
the Urban Renewal Projects, the requirements that must be observed in order for
the city to sell those bonds are little more strict. Citizens would have had an
opportunity, had those chosen to file a petition, to require the city to have a
public referendum and vote on those bonds. That action would have had to be
filed by today. Ms. Weidner noted the types of projects in the other hearings
are things such as improvements to general city facilities and improvements in
the Urban Renewal Districts.

Interchange, Contract No. 667, be received, placed on file and approved and
Mayor authorized to execute same.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, reported it was discovered during the construction
of the ramps for the Highway 20/Ansborough Interchange that there was a pretty
extensive drain tile system that ran through that interchange area. There is a
15" pipe that runs through the area, and a lot of other smaller drain tiles that
connect onto that. Mr. Thorson stated there weren't any• records on it, which
isn't unusual for drain tile. The change order is for wherever this tile passes
underneath the ramps, where we will be adding a lot of additional earth fill
over the top to change it from a plastic pipe to concrete pipe so it won't
crush. Then we have to make all the connections back into the small tiles that
go into the large one. There is an area along one of the ramps where they ran
into a sand seam, there is a lot of water seeping out of the sand seam, and we
have to try to dry that up with some drain tile. Mr. Thorson stated there
weren't any records of this. The Iowa Department of Transportation looked
pretty extensively and so did the city, but no one had any records of it, so
there was no way the city or consultant could know it was there until they
actually hit it.

Councilperson Gunderson asked if the state and city will jointly pay for this
change order. Mr. Thorson responded it is the city's obligation because we
believe based on the bid we received that we will max out the federal funds
without this change order. However, if some of the items that were in the
original bid turn out to be less than what was estimated, some of the federal
dollars could help pay for the change order, but we won't know that until the
end of the job. Mr. Thorson stated at this point it appears it would be at the
city's expense, and the city has bonded enough to cover this change order.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Four. Abstain: Cole because she is an employee of VGM.
Absent: Greenwood, Getty. Motion carried.
