7.5 The Council will consider a resolution declaring the official intent of the City of
Crystal to reimburse certain Phase 16 Street Project expenditures from the
proceeds of bonds to be issued by the city.
Bonds will be sold in the summer of 2017 to finance special assessments for
the Phase 16 street reconstruction project. IRS regulations require that the city
expend all of the bond proceeds for project costs within 6 months of the date
of sale of the bonds. If a resolution is passed stating that some of the bond
proceeds will be used to reimburse the city for projects costs incurred prior to
the date of the bond sale, then those costs can count toward the requirement
to expend the bond proceeds within 6 months of the date of the sale of
the bonds. Recommend approval.
7.6 The Council will consider a resolution approving the agreement with Shingle
Creek Watershed Management Commission for the Becker Park Storm Water
Project.
At the September 20, 2016 Council meeting the Council approved a contract
with Wenck for the design of the Becker Park Storm Water Infiltration project
and authorized work to start on Phase 1. The funding for the Phase 1 work will
come from the grant that the Shingle Creek Watershed received from the
Minnesota Bureau of Water and Soil Resources. The proposed agreement is
what is needed for the City to have access to the grant funding for the design
process. Recommend approval.
