TYPE OF PROJECT: N/A
DEPARTMENT REQUESTING ACTION: Secretary-Treasurer
REQUESTED ACTION:
Why is this action necessary? This ordinance appropriates $56,000 from the Improvement Fund to repay the pass-
through state subsidized financing for the Ozark Tablerock sub district.
What does action accomplish? This ordinance is needed because the District, for reasons of administrative
simplicity and cost, desires to repay a loan from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources that was used to
finance a series of properties transition from failing septic tanks to MSD sewers.

FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: $56,000 Improvement Fund Budget Year: N/A Amount: $ 55,381.83
Fund Name: Improvement Fund
Additional Comments: In December, 2003 the District borrowed $374,680 from the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources at a low 70% subsidized interest rate and passed the proceeds of this loan to the homeowners of the Ozark
Tablerock sub-district to help relieve the cost burden on these residences for migrating from septic tanks to MSD sewers.
MSD is charged a 2% interest rate on this loan. This pass-through loan has been paid down over the years and has now
reached a point that the cost for administering a pass through loan program has become prohibitive. Therefore, MSD seeks
to repay the subsidized loan from the Improvement Fund and reimburse the Improvement Fund with the annual repayment
from the homeowners. There are four years of tax bills remaining on the tax bills.
