WHEREAS, pursuant to notice published as required by law, the City Council has held a
public meeting and hearing upon the proposal to institute proceedings for the issuance of not to
exceed $18,500,000 General Obligation Bonds, for the essential corporate purposes, in order to
provide funds to pay the costs of opening, widening, extending, grading, and draining of the
right-of-way of streets, highways, avenues, alleys and public grounds, and market places, and the
removal and replacement of dead or diseased trees thereon; the construction, reconstruction, and
repairing of any street improvements, bridges, grade crossing separations and approaches; the
acquisition, installation, and repair of sidewalks, culverts, retaining walls, storm sewers, sanitary
sewers, water service lines, street lighting, and traffic control devices and signage; settlement,
adjustment, renewing, or extension of any part or all of the legal indebtedness of a city, whether
evidenced by bonds, warrants, or judgments, or the funding or refunding of the same, whether or
not such indebtedness was created for a purpose for which general obligation bonds might have
been issued in the original instance, including refunding General Obligation Urban Renewal
Bonds, Series 2014, and has considered the extent of objections received from residents or
property owners as to the proposed issuance of Bonds; and following action is now considered to
be in the best interests of the City and residents thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WAUKEE, STATE OF IOWA:
Section 1.That this Council does hereby institute proceedings and take additional action
for the authorization and issuance in the manner required by law of not to exceed $18,500,000
General Obligation Bonds, for the foregoing essential corporate purposes.
Section 2.This Resolution shall serve as a declaration of official intent under Treasury
Regulation 1.150-2 and shall be maintained on file as a public record of such intent. It is
reasonably expected that the general fund moneys may be advanced from time to time for capital
expenditures which are to be paid from the proceeds of the above Bonds. The amounts so
advanced shall be reimbursed from the proceeds of the Bonds not later than eighteen months
after the initial payment of the capital expenditures or eighteen months after the property is
placed in service. Such advancements shall not exceed the amount authorized in this Resolution
unless the same are for preliminary expenditures or unless another declaration of intention is
adopted.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 18th day of April, 2022.
