Also in attendance were City Attorney Joseph Hanson and City Administrator/Auditor Sharon Jangula.</p>
<p>The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.</p>
<p>The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the construction of a new building taking place in the regulatory floodway without an approved permit to build. </p>
<p>Donavin Grenz addressed the council regarding the construction of the building.  Mr. Grenz said he did not intend to stop the construction. </p>
<p>Attorney Hanson informed the council that a Stop Work Order and Notice of Violation was issued to Mr. Grenz earlier in the day.</p>
<p>During discussion it was noted that Mr. Grenz had submitted a building permit for the construction, but the permit was denied because Mr. Grenz did not submit the no-rise certification which is required by FEMA and the City of Linton Flood Plain Management Ordinance.

<p>A motion to file an injunction against Mr. Grenz to stop construction was made by Randall Meidinger, seconded by James Gartner. Unanimous aye vote; motion carried.</p>

Paul Keeney, University of Mary, and Kevin Dykema, Bravera Bank, addressed the council regarding the city’s ability to issue Bank Qualified (BQ) Tax-Exempt Bonds. The city can issue up to $10 million in BQ bonds in a year and can designate the intended use for the bonds. Banks purchasing the bonds can offer a lower interest rate to the borrower. </p>
<p>Mr. Keeney requested the city issue BQ bonds to assist in financing capital improvements at the University of Mary. When issuing the bonds, the city does not guarantee the debt and is in no way responsible for repayment of the bonds.  The city will incur no expense for the issuance and will be paid $1,000 per million of bond issuance.  </p>

A motion to approve moving forward with the process of issuing $10 million in BQ bonds to be used in financing the projects at the University of Mary was made by Randall Meidinger, seconded by James Gartner.
