Anamosa City Council approves $3.165 million sewer bond, sets July 14 annexation hearing and signs multiple contracts
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Anamosa City Council unanimously approved a $3,165,000 Sewer Revenue Bond loan agreement (contingent on callability), set a July 14 public hearing on a voluntary annexation, and passed multiple wage resolutions and contracts, including CDBG services for a downtown façade project.
The Anamosa City Council on June 10 unanimously approved a package of routine measures, including a Loan and Disbursement Agreement securing $3,165,000 in Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2025; set a public hearing on July 14 for a voluntary annexation; and adopted several wage resolutions and project contracts.
Mayor Rod Smith called the meeting to order at 5:59 P.M. Councilmembers Rich Crump, Kay Smith, Todd Weimer, Dan Smith and Brooke Gombert were present; Teresa Tuetken was absent. Jeremiah Hoyt, City Administrator, and Kaylee Palmer, Deputy City Clerk, were listed as present in the record.
Why it matters: the bond authorization provides financing capacity for sewer-system work and will affect the city’s debt service plans; the CDBG technical services contract and environmental review clear steps for a downtown façade revitalization effort that uses grant-related technical assistance.
