APPROVE STREET RECONSTRUCTION PLAN AND CONFIRM INTENT TO ISSUE <br />BONDS – RESOLUTION NO. 5713 <br /> <br />White opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. <br /> <br />Moorse stated this matter concerns the City’s five year street reconstruction plan and the financing of <br />those projects. In 2006, staff inventoried the City’s streets, determined what repairs/improvements were <br />necessary and the costs associated with those improvements, which were then compiled into the City’s <br />street reconstruction plan. The street improvements have been prioritized. Any upgrades or repairs to <br />the City’s utility system have also have been identified so those repairs may be done in conjunction with <br />the street repairs. <br /> <br />Moorse stated in order for the City to fund the various improvements, it is necessary for the City to sell <br />bonds. The increased levy for the debt service on the bonds will result in a $12.53 per year property tax <br />increase on a home valued at $724,000 and a $18.07 per year property tax increase on a home valued at <br />$1,000,000. <br /> <br />____________________________________________________________________________ <br />PAGE 1 of 7 <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 01/28/07 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 01/14/08 [Page 1 of 7]
