WATER/SEWER RATES Reel 86-C-48, Side 1 Vitosh stated Council received the May 1986 water and sewer system report which included reports on proposed rate increases and financing for wastewater treat- ment facility project. PROPOSED WATER RATE INCREASE. Vitosh explained the water rate increases are proposed over a tFree year basis and would be sufficient to cover operating costs, debt service costs for the east side water storage tank and the water plant computer system. Council reviewed the bar chart comparison for the water user rates with 16 other communities in Iowa. Brinton stated rates have been kept low because staffing levels and payroll costs have been kept to a minimum. Ambrisco stated the public should be informed about the benefits to Iowa City from running such an efficient system. PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASES. Vitosh reviewed the proposed sewer rate in- creases and said rates wi be raised to a level to provide sufficent revenue to cover the annual debt service amount on the bonds the City will be issuing for the proposed wastewater treatment project. Vitosh explained the debt service program for the wastewater treatment project will be a level annual debt service amount so that debt service costs will be spread out equally over the next 25 years. Council reviewed the reports average household cost chart (page 9). In response to Baker, Vitosh said a total water/sewer/refuse bill at the end of the three year period (based upon 2000 cubic foot consumption for a two month period) will be $61.89. McDonald asked if Iowa City would still be eligible for future federal grants if the proposed project is 100% locally funded. Ken Haynie, bond counsel, said the proposed financing for the wastewater treatment project does disqualify the City from receiving federal grant monies. Haynie explained the Clean Water Act does require that communities are obligated to meet federal requirements by July 1, 1988; the EPA and State Department of Air, Water and Waste Management are in the process of requiring each plant operator to submit a plan for clean water compliance; and many communities are in the same situation as Iowa City. Baker inquired about the impact on the bond market from communities having to finance major wastewater treatment facility projects. Haynie said the bond market will be affected and there are only a limited amount of facilities in _A' Informal Council Discussion May 27, 1986 Page 2 the state of Iowa that produce materials used in wastewater treatment plant construction. Haynie stated the bond market is favorable at this time to sell the proposed 25 year bonds. FINANCING FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY PROJECT. Vitosh recommended sell - OT sewer revenue ons to finance the project and ing a singTe issue to sell the bonds competitively. In response to Baker, Vitosh said the alternative to sell a combination of GO bonds and revenue bonds was studied. Vitosh explained it would be disadvantageous to sell the GO bonds because there would only be a $300,000 savings over 25 years, a substantial amount of the City's debt capac- ity would be used, and the City's bond rating could be affected. Vitosh said the City would not fund the project entirely with GO bonds because of their 20 year maturity date and the City's entire debt capacity would be used. Wayne Burggraaff said Moody's rating committee considers how quickly debt is paid, the amount of outstanding debt, and the local economy - all of which are good in Iowa City. In response to Baker, Burggraaff said there is approximately one quarter percent difference in interest rates from Triple "A" versus Double "A" rated bonds. Burggraaff explained the City hopes to obtain a Single "A" bond rating for the new issuance by demonstrating that the rate increases over the next three years will increase the level of revenue to meet debt service re- quired on the bond issuance. There will be a coverage covenant, and enough proceeds will be provided to establish debt service and improvements reserves. In response to Courtney, Vitosh said she will provide him with information on the current interest rates and time remaining on the City's outstanding bonds. In response to Baker, Vitosh said a competitive sale is the better sale method becuse writ- ersathatmt allows the are most interested. to SeCourt eyll the ocontendednds on ethateadate to the r negotiated sale would be better. Vitosh said a public hearing on the proposed water and sewer rate increases and first reading on the rate ordinance is scheduled on June 3, the second and third readings on the rate ordinance is June 17, and a presentation to Moody's June 26. McDonald recommended holding the first and second rate ordinance readings on June 3 with the final reading on June 17. Baker asked when the Council will discuss impact fees. Timmins said the legal department will present information in late June or mid-July. Haynie stated that under state law impact charges are not sewer revenues and, therefore, impact fees would not be available for the financing of the wastewater treat- ment facility project. Baker asked the legal department to research the case law and other communities' ordinances as it relates to impact fees. COUNCIL TIME Reel 86-050, Side 1 I. Strait stated the Ad Hoc Transportation Committee final report should be in Friday's Council packet. 2.

Karr noted that there may not be enough Councilmembers available for quorum at the June 29 meeting and requested Councilmembers to contact her regard- ing summer vacation schedules. CITIZEN INPUT Reel 86-050, Side 2 Kathy Johnson stated there are junk cars located on South Highway 218 (Russell's Salvage Yard); the proposed entrance to East/West Oriental Foods and apartments on Gilbert Street will be dangerous because it is located on a hill and curve; and the railroad crossing located at Gilbert and Benton Street is not level with the street. Timmins stated the Planning Department has taken aerial photos of the area to determine the exact location of junk cars and property owners will be approached. Courtney and Baker explained there will be two accesses, one on Gilbert Street and one from behind the property, to the East/West Oriental Foods and apartments. Helling said staff will check on the railroad crossing located on Gilbert and Benton Street. Meeting adjourned at 7:55 PM.

The overlay zone would require the submission of a site development plan for any construction, expansion, or reconstruction which is located, in whole or in part, within the overlay zone, except for single-family dwellings and du- plexes. (2) Existing ordinances and statutes relating to nuisances should be strengthened to permit the City to take action to eliminate visually blighting conditions along entranceways.

Vitosh said the $38,950,000 of sewer revenue bonds will be issued. Burggraaff explained the bond issue will extent through year 2012, the debt service will be a level debt service and the utility rate increases will provide adequate amount of revenues to make the debt service payment and meet the coverage requirement. Burggraaff said the bond sale is scheduled to occur July 22 and he will make a special presentation with Ambrisco, Helling and Vitosh to _Z-- ? r =lea a Moody's Investors Service in New York. Burggraaff emphasized that the secu- rity of the bond issue is the revenue from the utilities system and not the general obligation of the City. Vitosh said the presale analysis on the GO bond issue establishes the issue amount at $6,350,000. Vitosh explained the public hearing is only for $2,625,000 because the swimming pool issue is not included in the public hearing. The swimming pool issue has already been presented to the citizens of Iowa City through the election process. Burggraaff stated the GO bond issue will provide proceeds for: Swimming pool, $3,725,000, structured for 16 years through year 2002, level debt service.

Capital improvements project, $1.5 million, ten principal payments over an 11 -year period, level principal payments. Burggraaff said the $6,350,000 GO bond issue sale is scheduled for July 1. In response to Ambrisco, Vitosh said no funds from this GO bond issue will be used for the Heinz Road pavement extension. Vitosh explained that $200,000 from last October's $900,000 GO bond issue will be used on the east side water storage tank project and the other $700,000 will be used on the Benton Street bridge widening project. Vitosh said $1.1 million will be used from this GO bond issue to finish the east side water storage tank project. Ambrisco asked when the City will receive money from the bond issue. Vitosh said the City will receive the total amount of money from the bond issue 3-4 weeks after the actual sale date and the money will be invested until it is spent on the projects.
