Explanation
During the FY18 budget process the City Commission approved a $13.5 million bond issuance. Due to changes in strategy and budget constraints, this issuance did not take place. As part of the FY20 budget process, the City Commission tentatively approved an $8.5 million bond issue to fund Fire Ladder Truck, Fire Station Land Evaluation & Acquisition, City Hall Roof Replacement, Body Worn Cameras, Radio Replacement, LED Streetlights, ADA Compliance projects and GFR Equipment Replacement. The attached Reimbursement Resolution provides a mechanism for the City to be reimbursed from bond proceeds for project costs that are incurred on or after the date of this Resolution and before the issuance of the Bonds while remaining in compliance with Treasury regulations.
