Resolution 96-30 is a reimbursement resolution which allows the City the ability for reimbursement of certain project costs relating to the water and sewer system with proceeds of future tax- exempt financing. This Resolution in no way binds the City to a bond issue; however, it does meet the current federal tax law requirements for such an event. Staff recommends (1) the approval of Resolution 96-30 and (2) the authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. The City's Financial Advisors have reviewed this procedure and agree with its use.
