A review and adjustment of projects has resulted in a lowering of the issuance amount to $6,555,000. The reduction in the issue amount was due to a reduction in the capital improvement amount for State Street widening from $1,500,000 to $750,000. Two special assessment projects were added, but the debt service for these projects will be paid from special assessment payments, not from the debt service levy. The debt issue to be authorized is $719,000 less than the amount budgeted and levied; the excess levy will be used to reduce future debt service levies. Projects to be funded by this issue include the following: Westbend Drive Storm Sewer $ 110,000 Residential Low Point Drainage 100,000 Arterial Street Rehab (Lincoln Way) 520,000 6 th Street Recon/Streetscape 2,580,000 CyRide Route Recon (Bloomington) 700,000 State Street Widening 750,000 Beedle Drive 36,000 Debt Svc Abated by Spec Assessment SE2 nd and Kingsbury and East Ave. 271,462 Debt Svc Abated by Spec Assessment Issuance Cost 62,538 Sub -Total $ 5,130,000 Ada Hayden Heritage Park 1,425,000 Referendum bond, not included in public hearing Total $ 6,555,000 The City Council has already taken action on the issuance of bonds for Ada Hayden Heritage Park after the certification of the bond referendum.
