From the meeting
The city said it had State Bond Commission approval to issue up to $6 million in bonds for the Event Center facility, grounds, pedestrian access, and adjacent lakefront work, but it had not issued the bonds yet. The FY 2027 budget also included $110,000 from riverboat funds for ongoing Event Center improvements. This is a live funding and project-shaping signal, even though the bond issuance had not started.
