From the meeting
The DWSRF memo said the city received the 3rd highest score among grant applicants and became eligible for a $2,700,000 loan with 100% principal forgiveness for continued replacement of lead service lines. It said there would be no cost to ratepayers for the project and that the city still had to follow standard municipal borrowing steps. The packet also noted bond counsel and a financial consultant would be needed to close the financing in early 2027.
The council action was tied to publishing a notice of intent.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
