regarding the purchase of the Arbor Building and presented the parameters resolution for

the bond and the financing plan for the purchase of the building. Randy Larsen, the City's

bond counsel with Gillmore Bell, participated in the presentation to the Council. The City

currently has the Arbor Building under contract and has until February 19, 2026 to

complete the due diligence process. The City asked for an extension of the closing date,

month. The Council was asked to consider setting the bond resolution parameters this

evening so the city can continue the process to purchase the building. He mentioned that

setting the parameters this evening was just the next step in the financing process and

did not bind the city to complete the purchase or issue the bonds. Resolution 26-05C

authorized the issuance of up to $8 million in sales tax revenue bonds. He reviewed the

financing for the $12 million purchase price. The RDA is contributing $5 million. The total

borrowed amount that the finance team is contemplating is $7.3 million. The parameters

is currently set at $8 million. A public hearing date is set for February 10, 2026. As part

of the bond approval process, there is also a required 30 day period to contest the bond.

issue the bonds. Mr. Kelly explained the timeline of the process to meet the closing date

currently scheduled in early March. Council questions and comments followed. Council
