Mrs. Klein commented that she would hate to see these department requests parsed out to a political atmosphere and that the staff knows what their department needs. Mr. Jacobs commented that he does not support voting a dollar amount without a project tied to the dollar amount. He further questioned the dollar amount of the bond management fee. Michelle Weidner explained the bond management fee. Mrs. Juon questioned if all of the G.O. Bonds are funding the projects previously approved through CIP. Noel Anderson explained that the CIP document has not been finalized but these numbers are set to match up with recommendations in the CIP per use category. Mrs. Juon questioned if the CIP process comes first. Noel Anderson explained that typically they are done at the same time, or slightly following the bond. Mr. Morrissey commented that citizens are concerned about projects that have a constant delay and expressed frustration that council does not get to set priority for projects. Mayor Hart questioned the council input process for setting the CIP. Noel Anderson commented that meetings with council members occurred to review the CIP and a work session was held on the CIP as well. Mayor Hart questioned if any recommendations were made by council. Noel Anderson stated that there were a few comments received from council and some changes were made. Mrs. Juon requested confirmation that these bond numbers reflect everything in the CIP, which council has already seen, but that the department heads are going to prioritize the funding of it. Noel Anderson confirmed. May 6, 2019 Page 12 Mr. Morrissey commented that he is waiting to have the meeting to discuss and vote on the projects included in the CIP. Mrs. Juon commented that the council members sat down with staff to review the CIP. Mr. Morrissey commented that he remembers having a meeting where they would, at a future, meeting, vote on the CIP. Mrs. Klein commented that she was in a meeting with Mr. Morrissey to review and make edits to the CIP. Mr. Morrissey commented that they only got through two pages of the CIP at the meeting he attended. He stated that at that meeting they discussed submitting amendments and the council would vote on amendments to the CIP. Mr. Jacobs commented that at this time it would be good to make amendments to the list. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2019-319. 146214 - Amos/Schmitt that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on General Obligation Bonds - GCP 4 - The issuance of not to exceed $700,000 General Obligation Bonds for general corporate purposes, as published in the Waterloo Courier on April 22, 2019, be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral comments. John Sherbon, 1715 Robin Road, questioned what the true cost of financing is for the bonds including the fees. Michelle Weidner provided a guestimate of the cost of financing based on the anticipated market valuation that day. David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned how many of the bonds have been paid off and stated that he agrees with Mr. Morrissey in that the CIP process needs to be handled differently. Mayor Hart thanked Mr. Dryer for asking the question and that it was discovered during the budget proceedings that something was missed. He then asked Michelle Weidner to comment on the city's overall debt. Michelle Weidner explained the amount of bonds that have been paid off as of June 2018 and noted that the debt service levy did decline for the FY20 that was just passed, so less tax money is being taken to pay this debt. She also commented on the difficulties in comparing personal debt to debt carried by the city. She further commented that the city is well below the constitutional debt limit that the state allows and believes the city is being fiscally conscious. 146215 - Amos/Schmitt that the hearing be closed and oral comments be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Seven.

Roll -call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. Mr. Morrissey commented that the city has not approved the CIP projects and questioned if there should be an understanding that there is no approved project list, period. Michelle Weidner explained that council has approved categories but this does not mean that council cannot consider making changes. May 6, 2019 Page 13 Mr. Morrissey requested clarification that he could still submit resolutions as agenda items to amend the current CIP projects. Michelle Weidner explained that Mr. Morrissey could submit a request to do so, but depending what the amendment is changing, it could require additional publications and council actions and could not be done through a simple resolution. Mr. Morrissey gave Virden Creek as an example and questioned if monies could be taken from one project and put them on the Virden Creek project and mentioned other projects which have been earmarked in the past, but never completed. Michelle Weidner explained that she would need to discuss such a proposed resolution with the bond attorney's for clarification on what would be required to effect such a change, and suggested discussing any proposed amendments with the affected department heads prior to making a resolution. Mr. Feuss questioned how many of these projects have prior councils approved and how many projects are brand new. Michelle Weidner stated that approximately 200 projects in the CIP are approved by prior councils.
