SUBMITTED BY: _Matt Schreiber_____________________________
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
On September 20, 2021 council supported the idea to locate the community gardens
near Butterfly Trails Volunteer park generally located just north of the City’s Wastewater
treatment facility.
In November of 2021 the city was able to purchase the property located just SW of
Tower Drive and Hamilton Street. The land purchased by the city was the current home
of the Columbus Community Gardens. Currently the preferred option is to have the
Community Garden remain at the site on Tower and Hamilton.

shared with the Community Garden for review. The Community Garden has reviewed
the agreement and have no objections to the agreement.

2022 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: ____April 4, 2022_______
Council Meeting date: __April 19, 2022__________
ITEM:_Designating Officials Authorized to Declare Official Intent Under
Reimbursement Bond Regulations_
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The City routinely finances capital projects and equipment purchases, often combining
several items into a single debt issuance to minimize the issuance costs and
administrative burden of multiple smaller issuances. Based on the multiple phases of
large capital projects, and the staggered timing of purchases, the City often makes
expenditures in advance of a debt issuance, with the intent to refund those
expenditures with the proceeds from the tax-exempt debt. Based on federal
regulations regarding tax-exempt debt, if the City would like to refund those expenses
legally, the City must declare that intent every time there is such an expenditure.
Expenses incurred in advance of issuing the debt could include project design,
preliminary site or prep work, or smaller equipment purchases that are needed in
advance of knowing the full cost of other projects grouped in the debt issuance.
There are two ways to address this issue and complete the proper declaration for each
expenditure. First, the Council can consider a Resolution declaring the intent to
reimburse with future tax-exempt funds each time an expense is incurred. Second,
and the method recommended by City and Ehlers staff, is to approve a Resolution
authorizing specific City Officers to issue the required declaration when these
reimbursable expenses occur.
Approving this Resolution as presented will give additional latitude to the City
Administrator and City Treasurer, but the staff being authorized can be changed by the
Council prior to adopting Resolution. The City Council will remain closely involved in
these projects and purchases, as the Resolution does not remove the need for Council
approval to make large expenditures in accordance with the purchasing policy, nor will
it allow staff to make expenditures not already anticipated and included in the budget.
In 2022, we will be pursuing a debt issuance in the coming months, which will provide
funding for the Hwy 89 project, Community Development Block Grant project, 2023
Street projects, Transportation Alternatives Program project, and future equipment
purchases. Among those purposes, we are already incurring expenses for Hwy 89, the
CDBG project, and the Transportation Alternatives Program project.

or employees with the authority to make Declarations of Official Intent will facilitate compliance
