Service Center construction financing
Summary
The new $17 million Service Center replaces a badly deteriorated public works building where sewage has surfaced and skunks nested under the structure. It's funded with $6 million the city saved plus $11 million in certificates of obligation — no voter election required — and part of the debt lands on utility bills.

Impact analysis
$17 million total, with about $11 million in new debt — roughly a third paid through utility bills.
Public works, facilities, and parks staff get safe, modern working conditions, and residents get a longer-lasting fleet and infrastructure.
Ratepayers and taxpayers bear the new debt; some residents, like Millsap, argue voters should have had a say via a bond election.
