It is anticipated that the bonds will <br />be sold in a competitive bidding process. The City Council must authorize the preparation and <br />distribution of the necessary documents in order to solicit the bids. It has been determined that the <br />aggregate amount of the bonds would not exceed $23 million. <br />STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM <br />The actions taken here are the normal steps in issuing the debt. There is nothing in this approval <br />which is extraordinary or presents any special circumstance with this type of transaction. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />This is a procedural matter. Without this step in the process, the Colton Public Financing <br />Authority would not have permission from the City Council to prepare documents, set the <br />maximum amount of debt, or solicit bids from potential underwriters. <br />Page I of 2 Item No. <br />
