P»blic Works Building Financing
Public Works Director Osmundson presented financing options for the Public Works Addition which
is currently under construction. This had been pulled from the December 15, 1998 City Council
agenda for further discussion. The financing package proposed would borrow money from the
Sanitary Sewer Core Fund (Fund No. 606) to save $10,000 to $15,000 in bonding issuance costs.
The Core Fund would be paid back at an interest rate of 5%. Staff worked with Springsted, Inc., the
City's Financial Advisors, and Briggs &Morgan, the City's Bonding Counsel on this issue. �
There was considerable discussion on the purposed use of the Core Fund, how it was funded, and
future costs to the Fund. Councilmember Edwards asked staff if the Building Addition could be
stopped. Public Works Director Osmundson explained that the City has made payments of
approximately $80,000 to date and would be responsible for all materials ordered and expected
profits of the Contractor which could total approximately$500,000. More discussion ensued. It was
decided that the project should move forward and the financing should be put on the next regular
City Council agenda.
