2A) Resolution No. 14 -107, Providing for the Issuance and Sale of Approximately
$2,645,000 General Obligation Improvement and Utility Revenue Bonds, Series
2014A — Finance Director Al Rolek and Terri Heaton, Springsted, Inc. reported. Ms.
Heaton reviewed Springsted's recommendations related to the issuance of these bonds
that would fund four projects. The interest rates vary within the issuance because
repayment sources vary, for example some repayment is tied to special assessments.
Regarding interest rates, Ms. Heaton said that under two percent is low and forecasts of
the market indicate this is a good buy at this time. Council Member Rafferty asked about
the well house project and wondered where that facility will be located; Community
Development Director Grochala said the south side of Birch Street.

department. He will also be giving his regular update on the Public Safety Department.
