Napoleon City Council Monday night agreed to extend the ceiling for which it will borrow money for the new pool project.
Initially, the city was going to approve second reading on an ordinance for the issuance and sale of bonds in the amount of $3.95 million. The funding for the bond will come from a 20-year property tax levy approved by voters.
Napoleon City Manager Joel Mazur said in reviewing interest rates on bonds, however, that the city could include some more items that were either cut from the project initially or that have arisen since the project began.
He also said the project is going well to this point, with progress on the bathhouse/concession building that will also house a new clubhouse for the golf course.
