He provided further comment <br />on the City’s financial standing within the community. He stated that historically, the City has not <br />used bonding, but anticipated that this may change when TCAAP begins to develop. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant closed the Truth-In-Taxation hearing at 7:57 p.m. <br /> <br />C. Resolution 2015-050 Adopting and Confirming Quarterly Special Assessments <br />for Delinquent Utilities <br /> <br />Acting City Administrator Iverson stated that delinquent utility amounts are certified to Ramsey <br />County quarterly.
