Roll Call: Present: Halsey, Hupp, Littrel, Franklin, and Channon. Also present: Attorney Angela Reier, Tim Oswald from Piper Jaffray, Troy Harrington, Ashley Steele, George Seaberg, Sue Seaberg, Vi Stickler, Teri Stickler, Mary Hanson, Mark Brenny, and Patty Franklin. Moved by Halsey to approve the agenda, seconded by Channon. Roll call vote: all ayes, motion carried. Mayor Grindle opened the Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. on February 22, 2011 on the matter of the Authorization of a Loan Agreement and the issuance of not to exceed $2,500,000.00 General Obligation Capital Loan Notes. This is in order to provide funds to pay costs of the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation and renovation of street, water, sewer, storm sewer including acquisition of right of way, and the equipping of fire department. City Clerk Paula McIntosh stated that no written objections had been filed by any city resident or property owner. Mayor Grindle asked for comments from the audience. Dale Hupp asked what percentage would be for road improvements. Mr. Oswald from Piper Jaffray answered that 1.7 of the asking would be for roads. Two million will be the entire asking for the bond. Some of the roads that are projected for the project are Fieldcrest Road, Circle Drive, Manor Drive, Windsor Drive, Elmhurst Lane, and Valley Drive. The time for completion is within the next three years. The other 300K would be for the Fire Department replacement or repair of trucks or the Storm Water Project. Attorney Reier stated that it would affect the current tax rate by $3.60 per $1,000.00 of assessed values. Interest rates at around a 2% rate. This is a ten year repayment schedule. Mr. Seaberg asked if this included the Storm Sewer project and if Scott Community College (SCC) was going to do cost sharing in that project. The answer was yes and we only had a verbal commitment from SCC at this time. Mr. Seaberg asked if this was the first bond issue that Riverdale had participated in. Mary Hanson said no that in the past there was a bond for roads and a bond for sanitary sewer. Mark Brenny asked how much his taxes would go up. He is a homeowner in Riverdale and has a business in Riverdale. The reason he lives and owns a business here is because of the low taxes. Attorney Reier explained the Machinery and Equipment Tax (M&E) that Riverdale used to receive, but is no longer is a part of the tax base for the city. That was a substantial loss to Riverdale’s revenues. Attorney Reier went on to explain that Riverdale has one of the lowest tax rates in the State of Iowa. Mr. Brenny asked what the needs of the Fire Department were. Attorney Reier explained the life cycle of some of the trucks. A rescue truck and command vehicle are all that need to be replaced at this time and other trucks that just need replacement parts. Mr. Brenny asked why we can’t save money and pay for things. Attorney Reier stated that is the preferred method by Riverdale, however the State doesn’t seem to want cities to accumulate money and save for large projects. Mayor Grindle called for any oral objections to the proposal and none were made. Franklin moved to close the Public Hearing at 7:34 p.m. seconded by Littrel. Roll call vote: all ayes, motion carried.

The City then has to match those funds. Kristin Crawford from MSA presented a contract in the amount of $10,000.00 to complete a Comprehensive Plan for the City that is compliant with the Iowa Smart Growth Planning Legislation in order to lead the revitalization of the community and its residents.

Jim Beran asked for some clarification on the revenue detail for 2012. Mr. Beran had questions about the revenues and expenses for the 2011/2012 budget and wanted to know what the council was going to do with the 150,000.00 in CD’s in the general fund. Mr. Beran suggested we use that to offset the bond. Pat Mohr had some questions and concerns about the upcoming budget. Mr. Mohr asked about the .675 levy and wanted to know exactly what was being raised, what were we changing. Franklin explained that we have added a debt service levy. The tax rate of 2.70102 is the same as last year, but the debt service levy is what we have changed. Mr. Mohr asked why we have not spent some of the reserves on road repairs. Littrel stated that we have been doing road repairs, such as Belmont Road and Fenno. Mr. Mohr stated that somewhere we just have to slow down the spending. Hupp stated that we had a very informative budget meeting and hardly anyone showed up. A letter was sent to every resident informing them of this meeting. It was very disheartening when only five people attended. Mr. Mohr stated that you just have to slow down on the spending. Hupp said you should have been at the last budget meeting we cut the budget down as far as we could. Richard Wells asked if the tax levy is 2.70102 and the Capital Service Levy was .675 was the total going to be 7.00244, and was that all? The answer was yes. Mr. Wells wanted to know how soon we were going to borrow and how soon we were going to spend. Hupp explained how we would start the process and would most likely begin the road projects in April 2012. That will all be worked out in the next few weeks. Mr. Mohr asked if we knew how we were going to spend the two million. The answer was, for roads and Fire Truck repairs. Mr. Beran asked why this was not put to a vote to the citizens.

Franklin stated that due to the lower population count the money that would be received by the Road Use Taxes and the Local Option Sales Tax was going to be substantially lower. The council had made cuts to the expenses and brought the tax rate back to 2.70102 with the total being 7.00244. Channon made a motion to adjourn at 8:07 p.m. Seconded by Franklin.

She had spoken with Paul Loete from MSA and Mr. Loete thought the best approach would be to get all the plans made this year. Get the information ready by fall and then get bids. Mr. Loete said we could hurry and have something ready for late summer and have some road work done this fall, but he felt we would get better bids if we waited and the contractors would be bidding for jobs next year. Franklin asked if we couldn’t get something going this spring. Hupp stated that MSA thought we should get our Budget passed and that we would not get good bids for fall jobs. MSA will have a proposal ready at the next meeting. Mr. Beran asked if the roads would be asphalt or concrete. The jobs will be bid both ways and then the decision will be made.
