Resolution #98-09, Providing for the Sale of $3,100,000 General Obligation <br />Tax Increment Bonds, Series "1998A" <br /> <br />Mr. Terry Post, City Accountant, reviewed that the Council had taken action October 27, 1997 to <br />adopt Resolution #97-14 to call for the sale of these bonds but, due to uncertainty with acquiring <br />some of the property, the bond sale was called off. Those issues are now resolved so the bond <br />issuance is again before the Council for consideration. He called attention to the changes in the <br />sale amount and explained the increase relates to additional information staff has with regard to <br />the 14th Street improvement and site improvement costs. Mr. Post advised that the bond <br />environment has improved somewhat since last fall. He noted that, at this time, the City has not <br />reached a final executed development agreement with the developer. Mr. Post noted the action <br />being considered is in anticipation affinal closing of the development agreement. <br /> <br />Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, noted the action taken last week for Welsh to be <br />responsible for any additional costs. He reported a Welsh representative did ask about what this <br />meant, but did not give any indication or make comment that the closing was to be delayed. As <br />far as staff knows, the closing is still scheduled for Thursday, January 29, 1998. Relative to the <br />process on the requested action tonight, Mr. Fritsinger recommended the Council proceed. <br /> <br />. <br />
