Resolutions:
2. Council Bill/Resolution 1111-2017
A Resolution authorizing the Utilities General Manager to purchase a Flygt pump for the Coal Creek Lift Station, in the amount of $15,700.
Explanation: One of the four pumps has failed at the Coal Creek Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. The quote to repair the pump is $11,388.44. Replacement of the pump with warranty costs $15,700. Under normal weather conditions, the lift station can function properly with three working pumps. The fourth pump serves as a backup and is only used in extreme rain events. Due to the uncertainty of extreme weather and potential liability created by such, and because the cost to repair the pump versus replacement is minimal, Staff recommends replacement of this pump.
After considerable investigation for the best technology available, Electric Pump has been determined to be the only supplier of Flygt pumps meeting the requirements for the present and future needs of the City. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: A portion of the funds are budgeted in 320-1837-433.04-25, and the remainder is available in WPC reserves

6. Council Bill/Special Ordinance 4027-2017
A Special Ordinance authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Extension Agreement between Financial District Properties HQO, L.L.C., and the City of Moline.
Explanation: In September 2016, Financial District Properties HQO, L.L.C. (“Borrower”) was given an extension to make the final payment of their loan to the City to June 30, 2017. The current balance of the loan that is due and owing is $3,398,631.40. The Borrower proposes paying the remaining balance of the loan from the sale of property by it or of Unit 100 of the Kone Centre Condominiums, owned by Financial District Properties, KP, L.L.C. There is a signed purchase agreement for the sale of such property. However, the closing will not occur before June 30, 2017. The Borrower has requested an extension to August 22, 2017. This would give adequate time for the closing to occur. To grant this extension, the City is requiring that payment of its loan be listed on the closing or settlement statement for the closing of the property. Further, the City would not assign the current property tax rebates until its loan is paid in full. Additionally, if payment in full is not made on or before August 22, 2017, then by agreement of the parties, the City will add an additional $200,000.00 to the balance of the loan then due and payable. Further, Borrower agrees to pay any direct costs incurred by the City due to this extension. All other terms of all loan documents would remain in full force and effect. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: Borrower will pay any direct costs incurred by the City due to this extension
