1. Discussion, consideration and approval of co-manager for refunding of outstanding bonds, designation policy and liability split.
Mr. Sergio Cruz reminded the court that Estrada Hinojosa was appointed as the senior underwriter for the refunding and is recommending to appoint a co-manager in order to have a wider distribution for the sale of bonds, in essence, better rates. His recommendation is Stevens Company in which has had the most communication as an underwriting firm. He stated that Estrada Hinojosa would be liable sell 70% of the bonds and the co-manager would sell the remaining 30% and that is the way the financial end of it would be split, as well. He feels there would be a better participation. Steve Crain, legal counsel, questioned the fact that this is coming to court for approval and Mr. Cruz explained that the reasoning is to have court input and transparency the public seeks. Due to Mr. Crain's concerns, the item will be researched further.
NO ACTION taken on this Item.
