Motion carried. September 17, 1990 Page 2 Hearings - continued 96382 - HOLD HEARING --This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral objections. Kathy Oberle, 710 Forest Avenue, objected to the proposed issuance of General Obligation Bonds. She stated that in her conversations with Federal Department of Transportation officials, this project is a low priority to receive federal funds, particularly with the oil shortage connected with Iran's invasion of Kuwait. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, reported that this money will finance a zero percent loan from the Iowa Department of Transportation to construct West Fifth and Sixth Streets. The 1990 bond sale was reduced by $750,000 in anticipation of this loan agreement. Each of the subsequent three-year bond issuances will be reduced by $1,000,000, $1,000,000, and $250,000 respectively. The City will save approximately $200,000 per year in interest and $300,000 in inflation if this project is not delayed. The loan agreement states that the Iowa Department of Transportation can call the loan due after six months' notice between July 1, 1992 and July 1, 1994. Mayor McKinley explained that the monies allocated for Waterloo's portion of the Interstate Substitution money are secure and have been appropriated and probably will be untouched by any budget cuts that are currently being contemplated by the federal government. Should there be an overall savings on the entire Substitution Program, these funds will be used to repay the loan, thus passing along savings to our taxpayers for this project. Moved by Brown, seconded by Wright that the hearing be closed and "Resolution instituting proceedings to take additional action for the issuance of $3,000,000 General Obligation Bonds", be adopted.
