Subject: Agenda 10-7—#'s 35,36,37
The Council Agenda for this Wednesday, October 7, 1998 includes three items which
are City Treasury related. I apologize. I cannot be at the Council meeting, as I
expected, on that day. I will be attending a family funeral on Wednesday.
I will be in the office until 4:30 today. If you have questions, please contact me at
266-8839. I will be out of the o�ce on Tuesday and Wednesday, back in on Thursday,
10-8. If, during my absence, you wish further information, please contact Todd Hurley
in Treasury at 266-8837.
The following information is relevant to items #35, 36, and 37.
#35: 98-897 is the resolution authorizing a$3,000,000 lease loan from Norwest Bank
for the City Hall Annex remodeling financing. There will be a changed page to the
resolution which authorizes the City Treasury to bring the $3,000,000 in-house to invest
within the City's portfolio. This will provide a higher interest rate return for the funds,
rather than having Norwest Bank hold and invest the money. (The lease for the
RiverCentre also allowed me to invest the money). I did bid this lease and Norwest won
the bid. Also, the Council has previously approved the budget for the $3,000,000; this
lease provides the financing.
#36: 98-898 is the resolution accepting a State of Minnesota loan (PFA) for Water
Utility financing in the amount of $16,500,000. The rate is 3.4% The Water Board
knows of this financing and will be approving the Council's actions on October 13, 1998.
There will be some changed pages (filling in the blanks) and a Certificate of the Water
Utility General Manager filed with the Council today, Monday, October 5, 1998. These
are houskeeping additions. Closing the financing and accepting the funds from the
state will occur after City Council and Water Board approval.
#37 98-899 is the resolution approving 1998 State Law for Capital Improvement
Bonding (CIB) authority. For the law to be effective, there must be local approval. The
previous law ended with 1998 bonding limits. This law provides for future financing
ratios. All limits on general obligation CIB debt must fall within criteria set by the State
Legislature. As you know, after approval by the City's Capital Improvement Committee,
CIB bonding is always approved by the City Council on an annual basis.
Thank you. ........ Shiriey...........

Date: 10/5/98 1:17pm
Subject: Agenda 10-7—#'s 35,36,37
The Council Agenda for this Wednesday, October 7, 1998 includes three items which
are City Treasury related. I apologize. I cannot be at the Council meeting, as I
expected, on that day. I will be attending a family funeral on Wednesday.
I will be in the office until 4:30 today. If you have questions, please contact me at
266-8839. I will be out of the o�ce on Tuesday and Wednesday, back in on Thursday,
10-8. If, during my absence, you wish further information, please contact Todd Hurley
in Treasury at 266-8837.
The following information is relevant to items #35, 36, and 37.
#35: 98-897 is the resolution authorizing a$3,000,000 lease loan from Norwest Bank
for the City Hall Annex remodeling financing. There will be a changed page to the
resolution which authorizes the City Treasury to bring the $3,000,000 in-house to invest
within the City's portfolio. This will provide a higher interest rate return for the funds,
rather than having Norwest Bank hold and invest the money. (The lease for the
RiverCentre also allowed me to invest the money). I did bid this lease and Norwest won
the bid. Also, the Council has previously approved the budget for the $3,000,000; this
lease provides the financing.
#36: 98-898 is the resolution accepting a State of Minnesota loan (PFA) for Water
Utility financing in the amount of $16,500,000. The rate is 3.4% The Water Board
knows of this financing and will be approving the Council's actions on October 13, 1998.
There will be some changed pages (filling in the blanks) and a Certificate of the Water
Utility General Manager filed with the Council today, Monday, October 5, 1998. These
are houskeeping additions. Closing the financing and accepting the funds from the
state will occur after City Council and Water Board approval.
#37 98-899 is the resolution approving 1998 State Law for Capital Improvement
Bonding (CIB) authority. For the law to be effective, there must be local approval. The
previous law ended with 1998 bonding limits. This law provides for future financing
ratios. All limits on general obligation CIB debt must fall within criteria set by the State
Legislature. As you know, after approval by the City's Capital Improvement Committee,
CIB bonding is always approved by the City Council on an annual basis.
Thank you. ........ Shiriey...........

unit shall, as soon as the unit has approved a special law, file
with the secretary of state a certificate stating the essential
facts necessary to valid approval, including a copy of the
resolution of approval or, iP submitted to the voters, the
number of votes cast for and against approval at the election.
The form of the certificate shall be prescribed by the attorney
general and copies shall be furnished by the secretary o£
