bonds to be retired by Iowa Public Service Company and would not be paid

62841 - (Continued)
from taxes, there would be a payment in lieu of taxes on this equipment
so there would be a tax revenue from this Iowa Public Service facility;
by using the City's name with this financing, the bonds would be tax ex-
empt, therefore the Iowa Public Service Company would be getting a cheap-
er rate of interest, which would benefit the Iowa Public Service users.
Mayor Turner reported we have not used this type of financing in the past
but with the passage of the law requiring industries to control pollution,
we may have future bond issues for other industries within the City.
Carleton Beh said the City could hire a trustee who could be designated
to handle the financing and pay for the improvements when they are made
and collect and disburse the money for the repayment of the bonds and in-
terest when due, and this trustee would have to make financial reports
yearly to the City of Waterloo to be received and placed on file,
Moved by Miller, seconded by Mabrey that the communication from the
Carleton D. Beh Co,, in behalf of the Iowa Public Service Company, trans-
mitting a brochure, etc. coovering recent amendments to the Industrial
Revenue Bond Act relating to pollution control equipment, a Memorandum
of Agreement between the City of Waterloo, Iowa, and the Iowa Public
Service Company to evidence the intention of the City to issue pollution
control revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $2,0009000 to finance
pollution control facilities to be operated, maintained and leased by the
said Company, and the request from the Iowa Public Service Company for
adoption of a "Resolution of intention to issue pollution control revenue
bonds and authorizing the execution of a memorandum of agreement by and
between Iowa Public Service Company and the City of Waterloo, Iowa", be
