John and Bob,
Per the e-mail below and my discussion with John Danos, the City is planning to take action at the 8/24 meeting to set
9/14 (both regular council meetings) as the date of public hearing to issue GO bonds in an amount not to exceed $31.2M
to fund an aquatic center per the attached urban renewal plan. We expect the URA and urban renewal plan to be
approved by council at the 8/24 meeting prior to setting the date of hearing for the bonds.
Please prepare the council proceedings, and send to the regular distribution of City Clerk, Legal, and myself.
I will be out of the office on Thursday and Friday of this week, but will be checking e-mail.
Thanks,
Duane

Subject: Public Hearing for GO Bonds for Reinvestment District URA
Bob and John,
Our City Manager has notified the City Clerk that he is contemplating setting a public hearing for a GO bond issue to
fund an aquatic center as part of the Reinvestment District URA. Attached is the information that has gone to council so
far.
The public hearing for the URA and consideration of adoption will go to council on 8/24.
Are we able to set the hearing date for the GO bond issue at the same meeting? We would be setting the hearing date
for the next meeting on 9/14.

What information in addition to the amount of the bond issue to be included in the hearing will you need to prepare the
documents?
Thanks,
Duane
