with the Request for Proposals (RFP) process.

Grudem gave a presentation on the timeline of planning and decision making on the new pool. The
current bid on the table leaves a $1,300,000 gap between the referended bonding amount and the

Council approving a tax abatement bonding scenario. Keith Dahl, from Ehlers, explained the process
of abatement. In abatement property taxes from selected parcels would be dedicated to the debt
service of the abatement. But the result is an increase in the levy.
