PUBLIC HEARING 7.1 The Mayor will open a public hearing to receive comment and consider approval of a cooperative agreement with the City of Independence and the issuance of bonds by the City of Independence for Beacon Academy to locate at 3420 Nevada Avenue North. As you know Beacon Academy is a public charter school and the Council recently approved a conditional use permit and site plan for their relocation to 3420 Nevada Avenue North. To finance this acquisition and make needed improvements, Beacon Academy is requesting the city of Independence to issue tax-exempt revenue bonds and loan the proceeds to Friends of Beacon, an entity related to Beacon Academy. The City of Independence can’t issue revenue bonds for a facility in Crystal without the approval of the Crystal City Council. The City of Crystal has no financial obligation or risk; the Crystal City Council will hold a public hearing on this matter at its June 7 meeting. Recommend approval of execution of a cooperative agreement with the city of Independence for the issuance of bonds related to Beacon Academy’s relocation to 3420 Nevada Avenue North. 8. REGULAR AGENDA 8.1 The Council will consider approval of disbursements over $25,000 submitted by the Finance Director to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the Finance Director. Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000. 8.2 The Council will consider the 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presented by BerganKDV, Ltd. A representative of BerganKDV will present the 2015 Financial Report and answer any questions from the Council.

Street reconstruction projects are funded in part by special assessments against benefited properties. These assessments will be collected over a period of 15 years and bonds are needed to pay for the project until the assessments are collected. If the bond sale is authorized, the Council will consider award of the bonds at its July 19th meeting. Recommend approval of the resolution authorizing sale of the bonds. 8.4 The Council will consider a resolution providing for the Prepayment and Redemption of the City’s outstanding General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2005A and 2006A. Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda June 7, 2016 These two bonds have reached the date at which the City has the option of redeeming the remaining outstanding bonds prior to their scheduled maturity dates. There is sufficient cash in the debt service funds for the bonds to pay for redemption of the remaining outstanding bonds. Recommend approval of the resolution authorizing redemption of the remaining bonds. 8.5 The Council will consider a resolution to order preparation of the feasibility report for the Phase 16 Street Reconstruction Project. The final phase of street reconstruction, Phase 16 (Skyway Neighborhood) was discussed at a recent work session. Recommend approval of the resolution ordering preparation of the feasibility report for Phase 16. 8.6 The Council will consider first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Section 640.13 pertaining to long grass.
