Revenue Development Bonds. He stated the Industrial Develop- Px' esun- mont: Authority had the proposal for over a week. The sent copies 0 tat ion ' of that proposal to all members to study approximately one week Central. prior to the hearing. The notice of the meeting was published To:1 - in the local paper and the meeting was held in open session. The conumuni- George K. Bauman Company, financial advisor for the Industrial II cations, Development Authority, advised the Authority the application of Inc. Central Telecommunications, Inc. was bettor documented and more thorough then any other application they had over received for a bond issue request. They also advised the authority the appli- cation met all legal qualifications. Mr. Bushman stated following that meeting he requested a written legal opinion from Stinson, Mag, and Fizzel , of Kansas City , Missouri. They advised they would forward a separate legal opinion to Mr. McHenry. The opinion states Central Telecommuni- 1 cations, Inc. meets all criteria of the Statute and qualifies fo the issuance of Revenue Bonds to finance their venture. The opinion also states they are not a public utility. Therefore, with this legal endorsement , Central Telecommunications, Inc. feels there is no question concerning the legality of their bond issue. In answer to an issue raised, Mr. Bushman assured the Council they would be able to sell the bonds. If the market deteriorated and there was difficulty selling the bonds, at the rate of ten l and eleven percent (which is their calculation of what they will sell the bonds for) , the Company would raise the rate or discount ,�� - which would result in lower profits for the company. He later 1 stated that Mr. Bauman, who is a broker of bonds, had indicated to Mr. Bushman he feels certain that within a month he will have a qualified purchaser for the bonds which would remove all doubt as to the saleability of the bonds. ` ii ii ILNEEr ' 71 t `" REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, March 16 , 1981 In answer to another issue raised before the Industrial Authority was the issue concerning new ;fobs.
