b. Resolution No. 491 Inter-Fund Loan (310) to complete Killion Road
Improvements.
Tanya Robacker reported that this inter-fund loan is needed to fund the cost over
run accrued on the Killion Road project until the final funding is secured in April
2009. Factors contributing to the over run include; possible design flaws, delays
by utility contractor, lighting poles placement, loss of the project engineer and the
low interest rate on the Bond Anticipation Notes used as interim financing at 1.9
interest that were projected to earn 4% interest. The cost over run is currently
at 10%. The $950,000 is expected to complete the Local Improvement District 2
project.

Councilmember McGowan expressed frustration for the late notice and lack of
options presented to consider, as well as concern for the added cost to citizens.
Tanya explained that invoices were just provided to her. The intent was to
balance the year end because we can not have a negative balance at the end of
the year. This loan will be repaid to the Sewer Capital fund including principle
and 1.9 % interest when final funding is financed in April 2009 as Bonds.
