Included in those projects were: <br /> <br />Police Headquarters and Emergency Operations <br /> <br />$7,700,000 <br /> <br />While preliminary work has begun on these projects, it is not desirable for us to issue debt at this <br />time. However, because we are moving forward with land acquisition and further design, we <br />recommend the City Council approve a resolution that allows the City to reimburse itself from <br />future bond proceeds for expenditures that are made prior to the issuance of the debt. This is a <br />position that we have taken on several other projects in the past as recommended by bond <br />counsel and required by federal law. <br /> <br />The attached resolutions give us the option to reimburse ourselves from future bond proceeds for <br />certain costs associated with the above-mentioned projects. <br /> <br />Action ReQuired bv Council: Approve resolutions declaring intention to reimburse certain <br />expenditures with borrowing proceeds. <br /> <br />Aooroved for City Council Al!enda <br /> <br />4/J.1-or <br /> <br /> <br />Date <br />
