Council approves $4 million bond ordinance for lead service line project
Summary
Kingsford council adopted Bond Ordinance No. 303 to authorize up to $4,000,000 in bonds at 2% interest over 30 years to fund the next lead service line replacement project and meet DWSRF milestone requirements; the vote was unanimous among present members.
Kingsford City Council voted July 20, 2026, to adopt Bond Ordinance No. 303, authorizing the issuance of bonds not to exceed $4,000,000 at an interest rate of 2% to finance the city's next Lead Service Line Project. The ordinance was presented as a required step to secure DWSRF (Drinking Water State Revolving Fund) funding and to meet milestone scheduling for the project.
The ordinance received a roll-call vote with Councilmembers Michael Flaminio, Mayor Joe Groeneveld, Daniel Freeman and Angela Olson voting yes; Cynthia Dixon-Miller was absent. Council documents state the bonds would be paid off over 30 years. Council discussion focused on the need to meet DWSRF milestones so the city can proceed with replacing lead service lines as scheduled. The motion to approve was moved by Freeman and seconded by Flaminio and was recorded as carried.
