we're up to approving our minutes from the previous meeting. >> Mr. Mayor, >> Council Butler, >> I move that we approve the minutes from the June 2nd, 2026 meeting. >> Second. >> Motion by Butler and a second by Geisler. Is there any discussion or corrections?
Hearing none. All in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> I. Opposed. And those are approved. And we have eight items on our consent agenda this evening. The first is to approve a final payment
to Phaser Electric Company for project 24-18, the East Water Treatment Plant generator replacement. And we're looking to approve the change orders and the final payments to Phaser Electric Company in the amount of $
38,859.90 for project 24-18, East Water Treatment Plant Generator Replacement. Next item on our consent agenda is to adopt resolution 26-67,
accepting a donation for a park bench. The city has admin administered a park bench donation program for many years. Carol Tyler Edlamaki, uh, that's what I'm going to go with, would like to donate $700 for a park
bench in memory of Robert Edlamaki. The city council is required to accept financial donations by resolution per state statute. So, we're looking to adopt resolution 26-67 to accept a $700 donation from Carol
Tyler Edamaki. Next item on our consent agenda is to approve the waiver of certain fees for the Fourth of July celebration. Rapids Firecracker Races, J&M Displays Incorporated, Gopher State
Expositions Incorporated, and the Rapids Northstar Lions have requested waiver of the carnival fireworks display, Fourth of July parade, and 5K runwalk fees for the annual Fourth of July celebration. Historically, these fees have been
wedded for this community event. And so we're looking to approve the waiver of the carnival fireworks display fourth of July parade and 5K runwalk license fees for the 2026 Fourth of July celebration. Next on our consent agenda is to adopt
resolution 26-68 accepting the community strength foundation donation in the amount of $10,729.33. Community Strength Foundation has donated $10,729.33 to offset costs for the 2026 summer
concert series. Council has asked to adopt a resolution formally accepting this donation, which is required per state statute, and the city is grateful to the Community Strength Foundation for their generosity. Uh, so we're looking to adopt resolution 26-68
accepting the donation of $10,729.33 from the Community Strength Foundation for use in the 2026 summer concert series expenses. Um, next item on our consent agenda, which
is actually agenda item seven, it's the fifth of eight on our consent agenda. It's to receive the schedule of electronic payments. Staff has prepared the attached list of electronic payments processed since the last council meeting. So, we're looking to receive
the schedule of electronic payments from May 28th, 2026 through June 10th, 2026. Next is to approve the final payment to Ackllixen's Services Incorporated for project 25-3, miscellaneous trail
reconstruction. Uh we're looking to approve a change order and final payment to Asixen's Services Incorporated in the amount of $34,9756 for project 25-3 miscellaneous trail reconstruction.
and seven. Um, the next is to adopt resolution 26-71 declaring participation in the council on local results and innovation state performance measurement program. Cities that choose to participate in the
program in 2026 are eligible for a reimbursement of 14 cents per capita from the state or approximately $8,900 from Rapids. And we have done this since what 2010 or something, isn't it, Matt? Do you remember?
Uh so we're looking to adopt resolution 26-71 declaring the city's participation with the council on local results and innovations performance measures program for 2026. And the
final item on our consent agenda is to adopt resolution 26-72. It's a resolution appointing Cara Kaikendall to the planning commission. The planning commission currently has one vacant seat following the resignation of Wayne Schwarz. Staff
advertised the vacancy and solicited applications from interested individuals. An interview committee um interviewed five candidates on June 10th. Following the interviews, the committee recommends council appoint Cara Kaikendall to fill the remainder of
the term of the vacant seat, which ends December 31st, 2027, at which time she would be eligible for reappoint if desired. So, we're looking to adopt resolution 26-72 appointing Cara Kaikendall to the
planning commission. your honor. >> Council member Novak, >> I would like to uh comment and move that we accept the consent agenda. That's to say that uh I really do appreciate all of the applicants to that position for the planning commission. And while I
wasn't a member of the small committee that actually interviewed them, I know that all of them did a fantastic job and I really hope that u those who were not selected continue to apply. Um we need all the volunteers we can get.
And then were you going to make a motion? You >> I thought I said that at the beginning. I will. >> Well, I don't know that you actually made it though. Did you? I >> tell you what, I will move that we accept the consent agenda. >> Second. >> There you go. >> All right. Motion by Novak and a second by Butler to uh accept and adopt the
consent agenda. Is there any further discussion or questions? >> Mr. Mayor, >> Council Member Carlson, >> I just want to thank Carol Tyler Edelamaki for the donation in memory of her husband, Robert. Um, what a nice way
to memorialize someone and at the same time provide a wonderful place to rest in our parks. I just think it's a wonderful program and just want to thank her for her donation. >> All right, council member Geyser, you have something? >> Yes. Uh, thank you. I I also wanted to
extend my thanks to for the donations coming back in from from both CSF and for the park bench uh as well as uh all the applicants who came in and interviewed with us and gave us a half hour of their time as well as everybody extending their interest. You know, it's a if you don't get on one, you come back
again and again and again and try out the other ones too. Please, please, please consider there's openings for sustainability right now uh that they're recruiting for. So, there are commissions that people can join um that are not just planning. So, thank you everybody for applying and taking the
time to come interview us >> indeed. Lots of commissions, lots of work for around the city and we appreciate it. All right. Any other discussion or questions? Hearing none. All in favor signify by saying I. >> I opposed and the consent agenda is
adopted. We're up to item 11. Consider resolution 26-69 for the Rapids USPS abatement for street project 24- one. Were we a little overzealous in our
uh assessment collection there? Um Miss Hansen, are you covering this one? >> I am, Mr. Mayor. City Council. Um so our our street assessments for our 2024 project included six parcels that are owned by the United States Postal Service. Uh the city was recently
notified by Noa County that they received a letter from the from that agency um and that they are u have immunity from these types of assessments. Uh therefore the council is asked to abate a total of $71,429.88
um off the tax roles. >> All right. Anybody have any questions of Miss Hansen on this one? Seemed pretty cut and dried. Mr. Mayor, Council Member Gesler. >> Uh, I'll make a motion to adopt resolution 26-69 removing all of the
2024 street assessments from the Rapids United States Postal Service parcels. >> Second. >> Motion by Gesler and a second by was it Armstrong? Okay. Um, and we don't need to put the dollar amounts in there. We just That's good enough the way that's written.
Okay. Any discussion on that, >> Mr. Mayor? Council member Grisk, >> we don't have much discussion on this. I was just going to mention federal law is federal law. So, >> all right. All in favor signify by saying I. >> I opposed. And that motion carries. Item
12 is to consider resolution 26-70 awarding the sale of 9,900,000 I $990,000 in general obligation bonds series 2026A. Ms. Hansen.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. City Council, uh you previously uh authorized issuance of bonds for for our 2026 street reconstruction project. Uh that sale took place today. And then we have Dick Anhot from Ellers who will go over those bond sale results.
>> All right, welcome Nick. >> Thank you. Great to be here. Uh Mr. Mayor, members of the council, uh Nick Anne Hut with Ellers and Associates. Been working with the city advising on financial matters for about 14 years, my firm for longer than that. Um and as mentioned, we are here to talk about the
sale of bonds to fund your ongoing and current uh street reconstruction project here in the city. Um, last month the council authorized setting this date as a day that we would open bids on the financing. So, establishing a bond sale of $9.9 million to fund the majority of
that project, not all components, but the uh portion of the project supported from levy dollars as well as the water utility fund. Um, the debt is structured for a 10-year repayment. It's to be a
fixed rate uh long-term financing and uh benefit from tax exemption as a as a public use project uh benefiting the public. Uh in the meantime, I have worked with uh staff and some colleagues at my firm in putting together an offering document
that was circulated out to the marketplace for the bidding process. Uh we also had a discussion with a credit rating agency, Moody's Analytics. Uh they have been rating the city for a number of years and I'm happy to say that they've held fast to assigning a
double A1 credit rating. That's the second highest rating that they uh provide to any kind of municipality, corporation, the US government, uh anyone who is out in the capital markets borrowing money. You know, this is a third party opinion that provides uh the
market a sense of how willing and able the city is to repay its debts. And so they do analyze, you know, the entirety of your tax base, economic factors, as well as your financial records, budgets, and uh actually do a little bit of discussion about what things might be
coming down the road to uh inform that analysis. And this uh rating is a very strong credit rating. As I mentioned, the second highest rating that they do offer. It's above the median uh for any kind of municipality like a local government, city, county, and school district across the entire country. Um
and it is nothing to sneeze at. So, uh, congratulations on that front. Um, you know, there is a report that Moody's does prepare that gives you a sense of some of the numbers and figures that they look at, but you I'll also say, uh, a lot of it is a feel as well, kind of a
qualitative assessment. Um, but just know that your financial practices are very sound in their opinion. um you maintain a high fund balances which provide a a kind of a reserve to help weather a rainy day and they look very favorably upon that. Um they thought
that your economic factors were a little bit lower than what they would expect from a AAA rated so the next highest rating category. Um but did not see that putting any kind of pressure on your current rating. So again very good outcome very stable and I think the call
went extremely well. Um, so with that, uh, that rating in hand provided an indication of the market and we were able to open bids 11:00 a.m. this morning. Um, and we got great results. So there were 10 bids received from a variety of different uh, underwriters,
broker dealers, and other folks that work in the municipal bond space across the entire country. Um, some new names that we see on this list. A lot of names that we've seen in the past. Um, but a fantastic turnout. Usually we're happy with five bids. Um, but this really
stood out in the market. It it priced favorably as well. Um, there's not much more I can say on that. I think the council is more interested in the the low uh interest rate uh from the winning bidder than the rest of the the group. But um just know that the uh the spread between those bids was fairly tight.
>> Um only.16 percentage points between the uh the low bid and the high bid. Um we do like that. That gives kind of an indication that this is kind of what the market feels like these bonds should price. No outliers or anything that's out of whack. But Raymond James did come in
with the winning bid at below a 3.1. So a 3.07 was the indicated rate in their proposal. Um, with that result from Raymond James, we're actually able to resize the principal down um, due to the premium they included in their bid as well as a reduction in the financing
costs that were were estimated uh, pre-sale. And so the final principal amount um, subject to the council's adoption of the resolution this evening would be to resize the issue at 9 million 90,000. I know that's a little bit confusing from 9.9, but 9,90,000
in total. This will provide the same amount of funding that we were going out to the market for. You're not shortch changing the project in any way. Um but certainly when we can lower the amount, uh we'd like to do that. Lowers the amount of repayment that we're expecting. Um we also made a slight adjustment to the amount of prepaid
assessments that the city has received to date. So those are funds that you already have. Um so we don't need to borrow to be able to pay for those. We can use them directly on the project. Um the final true interest cost calculation after all those adjustments doesn't change the bid and the rates that they were proposing, but they the calculation
does move because we're reducing the principal amount. Um that came in at 3.0857 uh much better than our pre-sale estimates which were higher than that. And what that will do is it'll allow for a lower amount of repayment over the 10 years that these bonds will be
outstanding. about $12,900 less in the annual levy amount that we were uh planning for. So, good news on all fronts. Uh very good result. Your bond attorneys at QTAC Rock have updated the resolution that was included in the
packets that was in blank format. Um and it's now been populated with the results of the sale and the bid from Raymond James. And so the uh the verbiage is up there on the screen. Um but again the amount uh that we're seeking to lock in is 9 million 90,000 in general
obligation bonds for the city. Um everything went very well. Uh very pleased with these results and congratulations to the city. >> Excellent. So this is all great news, Nick. Um, now I was always told that AAA is really hard to attain for a city of
our size, you know, but then when you throw words around like second highest, above the median, you know, it doesn't feel that good. >> It is a uh a a unique group. You know, top five to seven percentage of
municipalities are are AAA. So, it's it's a small group. Um, a lot of it comes down to various fundamentals, but yeah, for a city the size, the population that you represent, um, and being, you know, primarily a residential
community, um, you don't have a bunch of data centers everywhere that are, you know, increasing your tax base, but then allowing you to to to float with a lower budget and lower public safety expenses and things like that. So, um, this is a fantastic result. There's nothing to
sneeze at, you know. So, you're not the top 5%, but you're still getting an A. >> Two A's. >> Double A. Yeah. All right, >> Mr. Mayor. >> Okay, Council Member Carlson, >> that double A1, though, that's pretty dang high, too, isn't it? Like 10%.
>> Yeah. So, that that grouping would probably go from that 7 percentage point to to maybe 22 23%. So, somewhere in that range. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Almost seems like it's down to a B, but you know. Yeah, that sounds like a >> council member Novak.
>> Uh, yeah, my back of the napkin math here says that was about a 2.4% reduction. >> I'll take that any day. Correct. So, thank you and well done. >> All right. Any questions of Nick? >> Mr. Mayor, >> Griscoian. Um, I I think it's a
excellent result like we said. I mean, last last our last meeting, we had that audit of our financial review and it just shows how solid this city is in terms of financial responsibility and policies and everything like that. So, I'm glad to see that the market's seeing that and then, you know, we benefit from
that. Uh question on the resized uh debt issuance. Um resize down about $900,000, right? So, that's going to make our rep payment payments smaller. This might not be a question. In fact,
it's not a question of you, Nick, and Ellers, but maybe more of the council and staff. Would we will we pay that debt off sooner than 10 years knowing that we've, you know, we budgeted for that much higher amount? What What's our
policy on that right now? >> Um, Council Member Griscol, we haven't actually set a levy yet for next year. So that's definitely on the table if the council wishes to >> um well I think statutoily and the county gets the debt repayment. So maybe
we can't levy more than that. I don't think >> um >> at least not particular to the debt that levy but we could establish some other >> right >> means of paying that off sooner. >> Mr. Mayor.
>> Well, okay. I was going to just throw something out there to answer your question. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but if we would levy for the full amount that we were asking for originally, uh, obviously we would have that extra money to be able to pay that off earlier if we wished, >> but that means that the taxpayers would
also be paying more as we went along if we levy for the amount that we actually got. >> It would still take the same amount of time, but the taxpayers are paying less. Well, it just just is something to consider, you know, as as I'm always kind of looking at these numbers, but, you know, the main thing is is, you
know, we're taking on another $9 million worth of debt. That sounds like a lot. It is a lot. Uh, but even looking at that financial audit that we had just a couple of weeks ago, we're paying this debt off almost as fast as we're re occurring it. So, if we get ahead of it a little bit in little ways like this,
it's just only going to benefit all of the Rapids. That's just my two cents. >> All right. Very good. Any other discussion? >> Mr. Mayor, may you just to add to that? It will it will reduce the pressure on the debt levy going forward, but that
increment because we've issued less. You know, our approach with street reconstruction is they're all 10-year issuances. So, one is falling off as another one's coming on, one's falling off, one's. So, from that, you know, future planning standpoint, that's how we sort of approach it is, you know, every every year something's on,
something's coming off. it does benefit us in the long run because it's just that much less debt um interest that we're paying on it overall those sorts of things. So, it's good news that way. If you get to a point as you're managing your debt in the future and you say, "Well, it makes sense to pay this off early to provide this other
opportunity." I mean, those are things um that we look for and we've done the past with refinancing the ice center um as an example. Was that maybe five years ago or so? >> Um so, we we're kind of looking at in that future debt management. How does a puzzle fit together? >> Perfect. Yeah,
>> I guess at the end of the day, it's just good news today. >> Very good news. >> Absolutely. The result, >> you're on. >> All right, Councilman Novak, >> uh, move we authorize resolution 26-70 awarding the sale of 9,990,000. That's right. We got to clear that number. >> Read that one on your uh,
>> thank you, Steve. Um, 26. >> Yes. awarding the sale of 9,90,000 in general obligation improvement and water revenue bonds series 2026A fixing their form and specifications
directing their execution and delivery and providing for their payment. >> Second >> motion by Novak and a second by Butler. Is there discussion? Hearing none. All in favor signify by saying I. >> I opposed.
>> And that motion carries. Nick, it's awfully nice for you to come out again. >> Absolutely. >> I remember you used to just phone this in there for a while. So, it's really good when you see it. >> No comment, Mr. >> Just giving you a hard time. Thanks.
All right. Uh, we are up to open mic. Open mic public comment. Anybody here to address counselor for open mic this evening? All right. that I will spare you reading that. And we are up to other business.
Other business before we do the calendar. All right, Mr. Ericen. I think we're doing the calendar. Tomorrow kicks off or not tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow is our farmers market.
>> Um from 3 to 6 as long as it's not rained out. Shop local and eat fresh. The farmers market features locally grown vegetables, berries, honeys, jams, flowers, and more. And also browse a new selection of crafters, artists, and
cottage bakers each week. I bought some margarita mix over there one time. It was like that was a surprise. Okay. Um, so that's tomorrow over at the Auna Rapids Ice Center, 11,000 Crooked Lake Boulevard. And then starting Monday,
