                     (b)  The Notes of each series shall mature and be payable not later than the end of the fiscal year during which such tax collections or state grants, as applicable, are payable, be executed in the name and on behalf of the City by the manual or facsimile signatures of the Mayor, City Treasurer and Controller, bear the City seal or a facsimile thereof, bear the Corporation Counsel’s endorsement as to form and correctness, be certified by a bank or trust company designated by the Controller which bank or trust company may also be designated as the paying agent, registrar, and transfer agent, and be approved as to their legality by Robinson & Cole LLP as bond counsel.  The Notes shall bear such rate or rates of interest (including taxable rates) as shall be determined by the Bond Sale Committee.  The Notes shall be general obligations of the City and each of the Notes shall recite that every requirement of law relating to its issue has been duly complied with, that such Note is within every debt and other limit prescribed by law, and that the full faith and credit of the City are pledged to the payment of the principal thereof and the interest thereon.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes to be issued, the maturity dates, redemption provisions, if any, the date, time of issue and sale, and other terms, details, and particulars of such Notes shall be determined by the Bond Sale Committee in accordance with the requirements of the Connecticut General Statutes.  The issuance of taxable Notes bearing interest includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes is in the public interest.

                     (c)  Said Notes shall be sold by the Mayor with the approval of the Bond Sale Committee in a competitive offering or by negotiation. If sold in a competitive offering, the Notes shall be sold at not less than par and accrued interest based on the lowest net or true interest cost to the City.  A notice of sale or a summary thereof describing the Notes and setting forth the terms and conditions of the sale shall be published at least five days in advance of the sale in a recognized publication carrying municipal bond notices and devoted primarily to financial news and the subject of state and municipal bonds.

                     (d)  The City hereby expresses its official intent pursuant to Section 1.150-2 of the Federal Income Tax Regulations, Title 26 (the “Regulations”), to reimburse expenditures paid 60 days prior to and any time after the date of passage of this ordinance in the maximum amount and for the financing described herein with the proceeds of notes or other obligations authorized to be issued by the City which shall be issued to reimburse such expenditures not later than eighteen months after the date of the expenditure or such later date as the Regulations may authorize.  The City hereby certifies that its intention to reimburse as expressed herein is based upon its reasonable expectations as of this date.  The Controller or his designee is authorized to pay expenses in accordance herewith pending the issuance of the Notes.

                     (e)  The Mayor, the Controller and the Treasurer, or any two of them, are hereby authorized on behalf of the City to enter into agreements or otherwise covenant for the benefit of note holders to provide notices to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”) of certain events not in excess of ten (10) business days after the occurrence of the event as enumerated in Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Rule 15c2-12, as amended, as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect the sale of notes authorized by this ordinance. Any agreements or representations to provide information to the MSRB made prior hereto are hereby confirmed, ratified, and approved.
