Fax: 630-553-7575 9 ry `20 '114LE ‘�y Date: March 15, 2005 To: Mayor and City Council From: John Justin Wyeth, City Attorney CC: City Administrator, Finance Director Subject: In Town Road Project Bond Issue The "In Town Road Project"requires funds from the sale of bonds. This memo is to set forth several actions that must be taken by the City Council in furtherance of the sale of the bonds as required by the detailed laws governing bond issuance. (The amount of the bonds, i.e. the amount needed for the road project is not the subject of this memo, and I defer to the City's other departments to guide you those issues.) The City engages the firm of Chapman and Cutler as "Bond Council" and that firm prepares the documents, and guides the City on the necessary actions. I have worked with Chapman and Cutler for many years. They are highly skilled, and specialize in this area of law. They prepare the "opinion of bond council" which verifies to purchasers that the bonds have been legally issued. In my experience, it is virtually impossible to obtain purchasers (i.e. bidders at a favorable rate)without an"opinion of bond council". It is for this reason, that we must work closely with Chapman and Cutler and adhere to the very specific documents, notices, publications and formal approvals. The following actions will be required of the City Council for this Bond Issue, along with the anticipated dates for the action: 1. Ordinance Authorizing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds (March 22, 2005) (This will lead to the publication of the Ordinance, along with a Notice of the opening of a 30 day back door referendum period) 2. Publication of Notice and subsequent Public Hearing (April 12, 2005) (Required by Bond Information Notification Act (BINA) 3. Passage of Bond Ordinance (April 26, 2005) (The opening of the Bids will take place prior to Passage of the Bonds—often the same day) These items may appear familiar as identical steps were taken over the last two months in furtherance of the Bond Issue for the Countryside property.
