Discussion on the water facilities plan included the application the city made to the Idaho Bond
Bank. There were no other applications at this time made to the Bond Bank. This makes our
application the sole contributor to the cost of the application. Because of this, our application is
less desirable and less competitive. The city will begin pursuing the bond market ourselves to
seek financing at a better rate.
Council Member England brought up the issue of emergency power to the city wells. The wells
discussed were outside the urban renewal district. The cost of installing emergency power to
wells outside of the urban renewal district cannot be financed with urban renewal money.
