Marion approves 600000 bond sale for sewage plant
Marion City Council approves a 600000 bond sale at about 6.74 percent to finance a sewage treatment project. Dain Kalman and Quail of Davenport, Iowa were the lone bidder with Columbia Securities Chicago submitting a near bid that arrived late and was not eligible. The council favors a call option after 10 years and uses an escrow to offset interest, aided by a 3.064 million EPA grant and a city share of 1.1 million for a total project around 5.29 million with bids and engineering costs. Engineer Glenn Clarida expects contractor responses by Friday.
