PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Johnston, State of Iowa, will hold a public hearing on the 23rd day of March, 2026, at 7:00 P.M., in the Council Chambers, City Hall, 6221 Merle Hay Road, Johnston, Iowa, at which meeting the Council proposes to take additional action for the issuance of not to exceed $1,600,000 General Obligation Urban Renewal Bonds, for essential corporate urban renewal purposes, to provide funds to pay the costs of aiding in the planning, undertaking, and carrying out of urban renewal projects under the authority of chapter 403 and the Urban Renewal Plan for the East Central TIF Urban Renewal Area ("East Central"), as amended, including opening, widening, extending, grading, and draining of the right-of-way of streets, highways, avenues, alleys and public grounds, and market places, and the removal and replacement of dead or diseased trees thereon, with related utility and site improvements, for the NW 62nd Ave Project.
At any time before the date of the meeting, a petition, asking that the question of issuing such Bonds be submitted to the legal voters of the City, may be filed with the Clerk of the City in the manner provided by Section 362.4 of the Code of Iowa, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 384.24(3)(q), 384.25 and 403.12 of the Code of Iowa.
The annual increase in property taxes as the result of the issuance on a residential property with an actual value of one hundred thousand dollars is estimated not to exceed $2.57. This estimate only considers the impact on property taxes of financing authority established by this hearing for the above-described project(s). The bond may be issued in one or more series over a number of years. Finance authority established by this hearing may be combined with additional finance authority, causing the estimate for the annual increase in property taxes for the entire issuance to be greater than the estimate stated herein. Changes in other levies may cause the actual annual increase in property taxes to vary.
At the above meeting the Council shall receive oral or written objections from any resident or property owner of the City to the above action. After all objections have been received and considered, the Council will at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof, take additional action for the issuance of the Bonds or will abandon the proposal to issue said Bonds.
This notice is given by order of the City Council of the City of Johnston, State of Iowa, as provided by Chapters 384 and 403 of the Code of Iowa.
