MINUTES OF WORKSHOP: OCTOBER 4, 2022 Mayor Muska called the workshop to order at 5:30 pm. Pustejovsky, Steve Vanek, and Mayor Tommy Muska.  Present council members: Natalie Kelinske, Cody Harris, David Pratka, Joe Paul Jason from Specialized Public Finance was present and went over two scenarios for potential certificates of obligation to help construction of our new wastewater treatment facility. The city received an updated cost estimate for the new facility, revising the original estimate of $10.5 million to $18 million, an 71% increase. The first scenario, the proposed certificates are paid solely from water and sewer revenues. The estimated required monthly increase per connection for water and sewer customers is $43.50. The second scenario splits repayment of the certificates between tax and water sewer revenues. By funding approximately 30%-40% of the certificates with the City's 1&S tax levy, the city could maintain a level total tax rate of 52 cents per $100 of AV and reduce the initial impact to the City's water and sewer customers. This scenario has the city using $54,000 of cash-on-hand to maintain a level tax rate in FY 2024 and FY 2025. The estimated required monthly increase per connection for the water and sewer customer is $10.00 while maintaining a level total tax rate. They are targeting a February close date for the certificates. More discussion to come during the Matt Nemec met with downtown business owners regarding the Westfest parade parking that is affecting local businesses. The group came up with a few ideas with the most popular one being to set an ordinance for no parking 10 hours before the event. Itwould be enforced by towing, not issuing a ticket. They also suggested to rope off parking spots, making it a standing area only which they feel would be safer. Cody Harris believes you must have towing signs visible, SO Trevor Beuerlein was not present for agenda item #9, discussion of alley Steve Vanek stated that the Community Center needs new air conditioning units. When we remodeled the building, the units were not replaced. There are 4 units and he received two quotes, both including 4 new units, new cooling coils, condensers, and filter bases.
