Summary
Council locked in up to $20.25M in bonds for fire station and transportation projects and $11.7M to refinance road debt. The city's AA1 rating and ~4% rates made this a good time to borrow long-term, and dedicated revenues — not your general fund — cover most payments.

Impact analysis
Up to $32 million in borrowing, but mostly repaid by fire levy, TIF, and impact fee revenues rather than the general budget.
Residents get fire station and road improvements spread over 20 years so future residents help pay too.
