City Administrator Maxeiner stated the applicant has submitted all required paperwork,
paid the application fee and submitted to fingerprinting. He noted it is the recommendation of
the Mayor to approve the reclassification of the license as requested and to pass an ordinance
providing for the decrease in the number of Class Al liquor licenses and increase in the number
of Class A liquor licenses.
Alderman Condon noted, during these difficult economic times, the City needs to do
everything possible to assist local businesses. She wished them success in their expanding
business.
Motion by Condon, seconded by Schaefer, to accept the Mayor's recommendation to
approve the reclassification of the Corkscrew Pointe Inc liquor license from Al to A, subject to
satisfactory fingerprint results, and to pass an ordinance decreasing the number of Class Al
liquor licenses from 1 to 0 and increasing the number of Class A liquor licenses from 27 to 28.

AUTHORIZATION TO REFUND 2002 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
Finance Director Black stated in February 2010 the City will issue $3.44 million in bonds
for local street improvements.The total bond issue will consist of$2.5 million in Recovery Zone
Bonds and $940,000 in Build America Bonds. The use of Recovery Zone Bonds and Build
America Bonds allows the City to issue taxable bonds in place of tax-exempt bonds for
governmental purposes and to receive a rebate on a portion of the interest paid over the life of
the bonds.
Director Black noted Staff examined possible opportunities for advanced refunding of
outstanding bond issues to reduce future debt service costs. Staff proposes refunding the
General Obligation Bonds (Alternate Revenue Source) Series 2002 to save approximately
$60,000 over the next six years. Staff is seeking authorization to proceed with the refunding of
the General Obligation Bonds(Alternate Revenue Source) Series 2002.
Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staffs recommendation to
proceed with refunding of the General Obligation Bonds (Alternate Revenue Source) Series
2002.
