Rate study will be needed to determine whether or not rates will need to be raised. Discussion on loan capacity what the city could barrow and still be good. Discussed other cities smaller than Tiffin had to raise rates to pay for infrastructure, also had a discussion on other way to increase revenue rather than raising utility rates and other options being Local Option Sales Tax.

Which would be roughly 2-3 years before construction starts. Both General Obligation Loan & SRF Loan are both at 2%.
