Ms. Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, explained that annually the City issues 429 General
Obligation assessment bonds to complete the planned road reconstruction project. Under the 429
process the City must assess a minimum of 20% of the project costs to benefitting property
owners. For the 2010 road reconstruction improvements to Silver Lane, the City is unable to
meet the minimum assessment threshold and therefore will need to finance the project through
the Street Reconstruction Bond process. Ms. Kvilvang provided information on the Street
Reconstruction Bond process and advised that the City is required to hold a public hearing on its
intent to issue these bonds and the 5 -Year Street Reconstruction Plan. Ms. Kvilvang reviewed
the proposed resolution with the City Council.
