The Bonds will be issued to pay for a major capital improvement project at the Mulberry Reclamation Facility. The passage of the TABOR Amendment by the Colorado voters in 1992, required the City to form enterprises in order for its utilities to be able to issue municipal bonds without an election. Since that time, all utility bonds have been issued by the appropriate utility enterprise. However, the City Charter grants only the Council the power to appropriate the funds. Therefore, this action by the Council is necessary in order to appropriate the bond proceeds for the Wastewater Utility. Authorizing the issuance ofthe bonds and appropriating the proceeds are both necessary to complete the bond transaction. The final rates will be determined by selling the bonds at a competitive sale in January 2009. 12.
