Finance Director Shelly Rueckert reviewed it's common practice for local governments use tax
exempt bond financing to provide funds for major project such as Street and Utility
Reconstruction (annually), Park Improvements, Trails and Sidewalks (as needed), Building
Improvements or Replacement (as needed), and Major Equipment Purchases Fire Trucks (once a
decade). Annual street improvements are the main driver of the debt levy. Engineering and
Financial planning begins approximately one year in advance of the construction Start Date. The
sources and uses for street improvement and debt service funds were reviewed. A future Street
Improvements Map was provided for Council review. Ms. Rueckert reviewed the Debt Levy
Planning Program. Ms. Rueckert stated there will be no street improvements in 2023.
The City Council is requested to approve the proposed 2023 Debt Levy of $2,487,181. This is
the fourth year in a row at that amount.

years. Over 80% of our roads have been reconstructed. The City has been fortunate.
Mayor Stille closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m.
