Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey City Clerk City Hall 5755 Country Club Road Shorewood, MN 55331 RE: GENERAL OBLIGATION WATER IMPROVEMENT BONDS OF 1980 CITV OF SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA e Dear Mrs. Wiltsey: Over the last couple of weeks Bob Sander and myself have met with your attorneys in trying ot develop a financing program for your proposed water improvements within the city. The preliminary cost estimates that we were given for improvements to Wild Duck are approximately $216,000 of which it is our understanding that $52,000 ($2,000 per unit X 26 units) will be assessed against benefited property. It is estimated that the remaining cost of $164,000 will be paid by user charges. From preliminary information supplied by the city engineer and city attorney, it has been estimated that the city could serve immediately a minimum of 190 units to a maximum of 260 units. Using an estimated average quarterly water bill of $25 per unit and assuming that the city can net out an additional $5,500 per year from present city users on other city systems, we feel that the bonds will be self-liquidating and, that there will also be enough money per year to pay the estimated operation and maintenance of the system. It would be our recommendation that the city issue bonds in an amount of $200,000 which can be negotiated directly by our firm without having to go through the time and added expense of a public issuance. The city would then have a commitment for the financing of the well project in Wild Duck which will be bid August 14. The city will also have enough money to virtually complete the construction of the water pipe from the city park to the proposed new users. We would propose that these bonds mature over a 15 year period with the maturity schedule weighted slightly with more maturities past the year 1990. This will allow future users to help pay the cost of the trunk facility from the park to the subdivision. . r:--"- e . JURAN e e e .. & MOODY. INC. Mrs. Elsa Wiltsey August 13, 1980 Page 2 I might point out that we have not considered in our calculations any potential water users form either Near Mountain or from any subsidized housing projects. As new users are added to the system, more and more security will be added to the water bonds. It is our understanding that the city is also considering improvements in the Boulder Bridge area which will be 100% assessed against benefited property. We would anticipate that because this financing will be over the statutory limit of $200,000 per negotiation, we would sell general obligation bonds at public sale once we either have firm engineering estimates or actual construction bids. Juran & Moody, Inc., will offer to purchase general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $200,000 at the wish of the council. All we need is one or two days notice to put together all the necessary bond transcript items. If you have any questions or if I can be of any further service to you, please do not hesitate to call.
