REVENUE BOND/MEDICAL FACILITY: Presentation by MINOW. A letter
has been received from the city attorney regarding the nature of
the bond for that use. There is some questions regarding the
ability of that bond to be sold as a tax free entity. That
question would have to be answered before we could proceed with
an issuance of a bond. There have been some studies done
pertaining to permanent medical facility in Eagle. We need to
clarify the issue. We are looking at as a city is what we can
and cannot do. We are looking at a clinical facility
for physicians to use whether it may be immediate care, for
family practice that will be here on a permanent basis. We need
to determine if the community wants to maintain a permanent
facility here, we provide the facility and we provide the
physicians to come in and staff it, full time or several part
time positions but, providing the service. Motion by MINOW and
seconded by YZAGUIRRE to propose a revenue bond, that revenue
bond would be contingent on the clinical medical facility
producing enough revenue to retire the bond, and if that was not
possible to have enough assets there in order to retire the bond
so there is no impact to the taxpayers. That we proceed to have
a bond election to see if the community would support such a
facility. There are other items the council has reviewed over
the course of the last two years. If we are going to the extent
of an election that it would be a recommendation to include those
items on the ballot also, for voting issues. Those items are:
law enforcement, library building, additional lighting in the
community, plus some others. Discussion took place regarding the
city not taking part in a private facility matter. AYE: MINOW,
WALKER, HAMMONS. NAYs YZAGUIRRE. MOTION CARRIED.
MINOW will talk with the city attorney regarding this matter.
We will need to establish a workshop on the issue within the next
2 weeks.
PARKING PROBLEM: Presentation by Ellen S. Keefer regarding
parking on State Street and Stierman at Go-Fer Mart, it is
impossible to see around the big trucks that park there in order
to go on to State Street. Moved by MINOW and seconded by WALKER
to write ACHD and request no parking signs be posted along the
front of State Street on the frontage of the Go-Fer Station, no
parking in that section of the highway, and in addition that the
sign reading Orval Krasen-Friendship Park be moved as it
obstructs the drivers view. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
