Meeting Date: 06/27/2017 By: Diana Lund, Finance Information Title: Adopt Resolution # 17-06-158 Providing for the Sale of $895,000 General Obligation Road Reconstruction Bonds, Series 2017A Purpose/Background: Purpose: To provide funding for road reconstruction projects via the issuance of Street Reconstruction Bonds. Background: Over the past several years, much discussion has taken place over the financing of road improvements. These needed improvements: Sealcoats, Overlays and Reconstructions are based on the 60-year Long -Term Street Maintenance Program that the engineering depai linent had compiled on all of the city's streets based on a PASER rating (the lower the PASER rating, the worse the road). Based on the Long -Term Street Maintenance Program, it was estimated that the cost to address the highest priority projects averaged $2.2M over the first five years and increased after that. Of the estimated $2.2M, $500,000 would be funded from the General Fund and the remainder from the issuance of debt. The payment of said debt would be paid from an annual tax levy and assessment to benefiting parties. The year 2015 was the first year that the City issued road reconstruction debt to fund the first road reconstruction project (Garnet and 168th Avenue) as outlined in the Long -Term Street Maintenance Program. and the 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Plan (5-Year Road Plan that was adopted in 2015 and that outlined the respective projects and costs for years 2015-2019). The City issued a total of $1,205,000 GO Street Reconstruction bonds in 2015 for Garnet/168th Avenue reconstruction and overlay projects. The second road reconstruction project to be undertaken per the Street Maintenance Program and the 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Plan was Andrie Street and 164th Lane. The City issued a total of $1,650,000 GO Street Reconstruction bonds in 2016 to fund these improvements. The third year of road reconstruction projects to be undertaken per the Street Maintenance Program and the 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Plan is Alpine Drive and Sunwood Drive. Again, the proposed funding is to come from the issuance of Street Reconstruction Bonds. The total bonding amount required for both projects (hard & soft costs) is estimated at
