Financial Advisor for the Series 2018 Bonds that a negotiated sale of the Series 2018 Bonds is
in the best interests of the City for the following reasons:
(A) The structure, timing, and preference sale type of a limited public offering for
the issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds require extensive planning and pre -marketing
and it is not practical for the City, the Financial Advisor, and the Underwriters to engage
in such planning and pre -marketing within the time constraints and uncertainties
inherent within a competitive bidding process;
(B) The Designated Revenues consist of multiple revenue sources which require
extensive planning and explanation to the market;
(C) The vagaries of the current and near future municipal bond market demand
that the Underwriters have the maximum time and flexibility to price and market the
Series 2018 Bonds in order to obtain the most favorable interest rates available;
(D) The Designated Revenues consist of multiple revenue sources which require
extensive planning and explanation to the market and which must continue in
accordance with the requirements of the Original Resolution; and
(ii) In addition to the statutory findings, the City also finds that the structure and timing of the
related redemptions of the Refunded Bonds require extensive planning, it is in the best interest
of
the City and its residents to offer and sell the Series 2018 Bonds to Qualified
Institutional Buyers and subject to the restrictions on transfer described in this Series
Resolution, and it is in the best interest of the City and its residents to issue the Series 2018
