Mike Dubony of David Drown Associates, Inc. presented the Eyota City Council with an opportunity to save money by refinancing a bond issued in 2006. The bond was issued for Madison Avenue Street improvements for $337,000 with 4.5 percent interest rate. The new interest rate will be about half the original rate and save the city $3,000 per year over the life of bond. Dubony is working with Eastwood bank on the new arrangement. Councilman Joe Loftus said, “We will be dealing with a local institution and cutting the rate almost in half.”
The council approved a request from City Clerk/Treasurer Marlis Knowlton to renew the employee health insurance policy with Blue Cross. “Blue Cross is the best value for the city and the employees,” Knowlton said. The policy is the Blue Cross Blue Value Plan with a $1,500 deductible. The new rate calls for a 4.2 percent overall increase. The trend according to Knowlton is for an 8.8 percent increase.
The council also approved two new street lights for Fifth Street and County Road 7. The lack of street lights in the area is a safety concern for people walking. The two new street lamps will be added at a cost of $21.98 per month.
