Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, reported the city began planning for
these bond issues last September, October with developing the Capital
Improvements Plan. There have been a lot of extensive meetings with all the
department heads as each of them developed the projects that they want to or
need to work on in the next five-year period. All existing projects and bonds
available were evaluated to make sure that we still needed all that money for
the projects that they originally were designated for, and some of that has been
shifted around as timing issues have arisen. Ms. Weidner explained that Moody's
came to Waterloo a couple of weeks ago and looked at the city's financial
condition, and they just announced today that they have reaffirmed our Al bond
rating. The city moved up to that rating in 2005, and that is the highest
rating we have had in a number of years in the city. We are still working to
move up to the next category, but we have a little ways to go yet to keep
improving. Tonight, we are taking official action that authorizes council to
issue the bonds. This is formal legal action that notifies all our citizens
that the city is going to sell bonds for the specific projects listed. The
bonds will be sold Wednesday, June 6, 2007, and we will accept electronic
bidding. so we do see those bids come in over the Internet.

Hearings continued
Ms. Weidner commented that it will take until June 29 or June 30 2007 to close
on the bond issue before we actually have that cash in the bank. Ms. Weidner
reported that the two refunding issues are anticipated to save our taxpayers
more than $600,000.00 in interest payments so that is why we are going though
that process. The interest rates are very favorable right now to refinance the
1998, 1999 and 2000 issues. The city will continue to repay them at the same
rate that they were originally issued at so we are not stretching out our debt.
We are just getting savings for our taxpayers.
Larry Burger, Vice President of Speer Financial, explained that council is
holding several public hearings as it is required by Iowa Code to hold hearings
on the separate issues, and that is the only reason that we have all of these
issues as separate. Bill Noth, of the Ahler's Law firm, and the Iowa Code
require the council to hold these separate hearings. Ms. Burger commented that
the two refunding issues will, hopefully, save the city over $600,000.00. Mr.
Burger stated the market is down somewhere under 4 percent right now so we are
looking for a very successful sale. This is the public hearing process, and on
June 6, 2007 we will meet and sell the bonds.

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Getty asked if these items have been put out for bid.
Brad Hagen, Airport Director, responded the original $300,000.00 contract was
bid and this amount was really part of the original contract. Ms. Hagen
commented we have $300,000.00 in a grant and he proposed a $300,000.00 contract,
but when you add a small local match that is the reason for the increase. Mr.
Hagen stated the intent all along was to have that money in the original
contract.
Mayor Hurley commented that he thinks Mr. Hagen is saying we did our part a

match.
