UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Review Tess Corners Fire Department Rescue Agreement
This item was deferred from the March 6, 2002 meeting to allow the Mayor to meet with
Mr. Verburgt to review proposed revisions to the agreement. The fire department had
requested that the term of the agreement be changed to one year. Following the
meeting with the Mayor, a copy of the agreement with the proposed changes and Letter
of Understanding were e-mailed to Mr. Verburgt. The Mayor reported that he did not
receive any response back. Ald. Salentine moved to recommend changes and Letter of
Understanding as presented. Ald. Slocomb seconded; motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
Review Resolution to Authorize the Selling of Sewer Revenue Bonds, $2,250,000
Dawn Gunderson was present to respond to any questions regarding the proposed
borrowing for the McShane Inline Storage Facility. A capitalization schedule was
provided along with the resolution that was on the Council’s agenda for that evening.
The project costs are estimated at $4,000,000. The recommendation of the City’s
financial consultants is that $2,000,000 in cash reserve funds from the utility be used
and the remaining $2,000,000 be borrowed for the project. Ms. Gunderson stated
when you borrow revenue bonds for any utility, you are required to set aside 10% in
reserve funds and that is why the total borrowing is $2,250,000. Ald. Slocomb moved
to recommend approval. Ald. Sanders seconded; motion carried.
VOUCHER APPROVAL
Ald. Slocomb moved to recommend approval of payment of General Vouchers in the
amount of $712,622.60, Tax Checks in the amount of $18.61 and Utility Vouchers in
