WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) of Johnson County, Iowa (the “County”) has deemed it necessary and advisable that the County be authorized to enter into a loan agreement and issue bonds in a principal amount not exceeding $30,000,000 to finance the cost of acquiring and developing lands in order to protect the water quality in rivers, lakes and streams, and protect forests to improve air quality, protect natural areas and wildlife habitat from development, and provide for parks and trails (the “Projects”); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 331.402, 331.442 and 39.2(4)(d) of the Code of Iowa, before the County may enter into a loan agreement and issue its bonds for such purposes, the County must hold a special election upon such proposition on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and receive a favorable vote from at least 60% of the total votes cast at such special election; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 331.442 of the Code of Iowa, as part of the Board’s action to set a date for an election on such proposition, the Board must publish notice of such proposition, including a statement of the amount and purposes of the loan agreement and the bonds to be issued, a statement of the estimated cost of the Projects, and an estimate of the annual increase in property taxes as the result of the bond issuance on a residential property with an actual value of one hundred thousand dollars, which notice must be published , as provided in Section 331.305 of the Code of Iowa, with the minutes of the meeting at which the Board adopts a resolution setting the date for an election on the question of entering into the loan agreement and issuing such bonds, and which notice must be mailed, as provided in Section 39.5 of the Code of Iowa, to each registered voter within the jurisdiction;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Johnson County, Iowa, as follows:
Section 1. The Board of Supervisors intends to undertake the Projects at an estimated cost of $30,000,000. In accordance with Section 331.442 of the Code of Iowa, this cost figure is an estimate and shall not be binding on the Board in later proceedings related to the Projects.
Section 2. A special county election is hereby called and ordered to be held in and for the County in conjunction with the general election on November 5, 2024, at which there will be submitted to the voters of the County the following proposition: “Shall the County of Johnson, State of Iowa, issue its general obligation bonds in an amount not exceeding the amount of $30,000,000 for the purpose of acquiring and developing lands with public access provided, in order to protect the water quality in rivers, lakes and streams; protect forests to improve air quality; protect natural areas and wildlife habitat from development; and provide for parks and trails; to be managed by the Johnson County Conservation Board? All expenditures will be subject to an annual independent audit.
