CITY OF GRESHAM Notice of Revenue Bond Authorization NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Gresham, Oregon (the City) adopted Resolution 3471 on October 5, 2021, authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds in one or more series to finance costs of capital improvements to the City’s water system, including but not limited to reservoir improvements, transmission improvements, treatment facility construction and improvements, well pump construction and improvements, meter station construction and improvements, and seismic resiliency retrofitting and upgrades (collectively, the Water Projects).

The City estimates that the total principal amount of bonds required for this purpose will not exceed $108.5 million. Bond proceeds will be used solely to pay for costs of the Water Projects and costs related to the bonds. If written petitions requesting an election on the issuance of the bonds, signed by not less than five percent (5%) of the City’s electors, are filed with the City on or before December 12, 2021, (60 days after the notice publication date), the question of issuing the bonds shall be placed on the ballot at the next legally available election date.
