    City Manager Wilmet introduced Phillip Jones, President of the Fort Atkinson Beautification Council.

     

    Mr. Jones stated to the Council that with their approval, the Fort Atkinson Beautification and Development Council proposes to plant two 20 ft x 100 ft flower beds between Jones Avenue and S. Seventh Street, between the old rail bed and the highway. The beds would be prairie demonstration plots and the Fort Atkinson Beautification Council would enter into a contract with Mid-West Prairies for the next three years to help in the development of these flower beds. Mr. Jones further stated that the cost of site preparation, planting, weeding, and maintenance will be the responsibility of the Beautification Council.

    Cm. Zastrow, Cm. Gray, and Cm. Johnston stated that they felt this would be a good idea for this area.

     

    Cm. Johnston, seconded by Cm. Zastrow moved to approve the request by the Beautification Council to initiate two 20 ft x 100 ft prairie demonstration plots along Janesville Avenue, with the understanding the Beautification Council is responsibility for their cost, care, and maintenance for the next three years.

    The City Manager further explained that High Pointe Properties has agreed to a contribution of $50,000 toward the project. With a contribution of $50,000 from the City the restroom and facade restoration project, which is estimated to cost $200,000, should be able to be completed.

     

    The City Manager stated that the maintenance of the facility will be under the care of the Park & Recreation Department.

    If at any time there shall be on hand insufficient funds from the aforesaid tax levy to meet principal and/or interest payments on said note when due, the requisite amount shall be paid from other funds of the City then available, which sums shall be replaced upon the collection of the taxes herein levied.

     

    In the event that the City exercises its prepayment privilege, if any; then no such direct annual tax shall be included on the tax rolls for the prepayments made and the amount of direct annual tax hereinabove levied shall be reduced accordingly for the year or years with respect to which said note was prepaid.

     

    In each of said levy years, the direct annual tax so levied shall be carried into the tax rolls each year and shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as other taxes of the City for such years are collected; provided, that the amount of tax carried into the tax roll may be reduced in any year by the amount of any surplus in the debt service account for the note. So long as any part of the principal of, or interest on, said note remains unpaid, the proceeds of said tax shall be segregated in a special fund used solely for the payment of the principal of, and interest on, said note.

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that there be and there hereby is established in the treasury of the City, if one has not already been established, a debt service fund, separate and distinct from every other fund, which shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Within the debt service fund, there be and there hereby is established a separate and distinct account designated as the "Debt Service Account for Promissory Note dated May 1, 2001", which account shall be used solely for the purpose of paying principal of and interest on said note. There shall be deposited in said account any accrued interest paid on said note at the time it is delivered to the Lender, all money raised by taxation or appropriated pursuant hereto, and such other sums as may be necessary to pay principal and interest on said note when the same shall become due.

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proceeds of said note shall be used solely for the purposes for which it is issued, but may be temporarily invested until needed in legal investments, provided that no such investment shall be in such a manner as would cause said note to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Regulations of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue thereunder; and an officer of the City, charged with the responsibility for issuing the note, shall certify by use of an arbitrage certificate that, on the basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of the delivery of the note, it is not expected that the proceeds will be used in a manner that would cause said not to be an "arbitrage bond."

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the projects financed by the note and their ownership, management and use will not cause the note to be a "private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that the City shall comply with the provisions of the Code to the extent necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the note.

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall keep records for the registration and for the transfer of the note. The person in whose name the note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and payment of either principal or interest on the note shall be made only to the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. The note may be transferred by the registered owner thereof by presentation of the note at the office of the City Clerk, duly endorsed for the transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his legal representative duly authorized in writing. Upon such presentation the note shall be transferred by appropriate entry in the registration records and a similar notation, including date of registration, name of new registered owner and signature of the City Clerk, shall be made on such note.

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the note is hereby designated as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" for purposes of Section 265 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City officials are hereby authorized and directed, so long as said note is outstanding, to deliver to the Lender any audit statement or other financial information the Lender may reasonably request and to discuss its affairs and finances with the Lender.

     

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that said note shall be delivered to the Lender on or after the date of said note, upon receipt of the total principal amount of the loan evidenced thereby, plus accrued interest, if any, to date of delivery, provided that if this is a refinancing, the refunding note shall be immediately exchanged for the note being refinanced.

     

    The City Manager stated that he is recommending the low bid of 4.59% for 7-years from Citizens State Bank & Trust.

     

    Cm. Gray, seconded by Cm. Zastrow moved to approve the borrowing of $300,000 for 7-years at 4.59% from the Citizens State Bank & Trust and adopt the borrowing resolution.

    Police Chief Brus had submitted a letter to the Council stating that on March 30, 2001 the Police Department completed an investigation on an alcohol operator's license for Troy D. Thomsen.

He did indicate one operating while intoxicated conviction in 1998 but failed to indicate that he had been convicted twice before for OWI once in 1995 and once in 1996.

     

    The Chief stated that with the amount of alcohol related offenses along with the fact that all but one of the offenses were withheld on his application, the Chief is recommending to the Council that Mr. Thomsen be denied a license for operating as a bartender in the City of Fort Atkinson.
