CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 15-02, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A GROUND LEASE, LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND RELATED DOCUMENTS Finance Director Rolek reviewed his written report. The EDA has previously approved the issuance of Lease Revenue Bonds for financing a new fire station facility. The EDA resolution authorizes execution of a ground lease for the fire station property and a related lease-purchase agreement. He noted that the term of the lease will continue through retirement of the bond financing. He introduced Attorney Julie Eddington, of Kennedy and Graven, bond counsel on the matter. EDA President Roeser acknowledged that the action before the EDA is a mechanism related to bond financing for the new fire station. He noted the good credit rating of the city. Finance Director Rolek explained that there will be a separate bond call for the bonds issued through the EDA. This action is about getting a lease in place to allow the improvements through the EDA. The EDA members discussed the yearly cost of the bonds and the financing and construction schedule overall for the fire station project. EDA member Reinert moved to approve EDA Resolution No. 15-02. EDA Member Rafferty seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote.
