Maggie Burger, Speer Financial, explained the reason for requesting a special election on September
13, 2022 is for a $20,000,000 general obligation capital loan note referendum. This referendum would
require 60 percent, or what is called a super majority, to pass. The funds would be for the city to
construct the backbone of the broadband project. The city will own the asset of the backbone, which
will bring down the cost of what needs to be borrowed on the revenue side of things.
Steve Nadel, Ahlers & Cooney, stated that the ballot proposition is drafted slightly broader than just
the backbone for the purpose of leveraging with a lender.
Mayor Hart shared that for the last 15-20 years, the city has done a lot of talking about needing to
create its own ability to provide service to its citizens. Now is the time to step up and make it a reality.
He thanked all of the city staff, council, Maggie Burger and Steve Nadel for all of the hours put in to
get us to this point.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, commented that he is not seeing any specific wording, just a general
statement. He questioned if there is a draft that can be read that has the specifics.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned why this broadband was not brought before the public
first to see if the citizens even wanted it. He questioned why this couldn't be on the November ballot
instead of a special election.
Mayor Hart commented that the citizens voted years ago for the city to have a municipal telecom.
Steve Nadel explained that a September election date is being used rather than the November election
date is because this special election can only go in September in even numbered years. He added that
the asset would be owned by the city and there is no third party middleman being proposed.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, commented that he has a very strong concern about adding
more fees. Once they are added to, they never go back down. Three years ago, citizens filed for a re -
audit on city finances. As of today, the state auditor has not completed the audit and is not doing his
job. He called last week to see where the audit is and there was no answer.
Mayor Hart explained that the city does not have accountability on whether the state auditor responds
to citizens requests.

Steve Nadel added that any utilities that utilize the fiber backbone system for their purposes, they
would pay for that usage. If such utility were to issue any revenue bonds each one would have to hold
a hearing for public comment.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2022-440.
107573 - Boesen/Chiles
that "Resolution declaring an official intent under Treasury Regulation 1.150-2 to issue debt to
reimburse the City for certain original expenditures paid in connection with specified projects", be
adopted. Roll call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2022-441.
