DETAILS OF THE BONDS <br />The Bonds will be dated August 1, 2009, as the date of original issue, and will bear interest <br />payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2010. Interest will <br />be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. <br />The Bonds will mature March 1 in the years and amounts* as follows: <br />2010 $220,000 2011 $215,000 2012 $220,000 2103 $220,000 2014 $230,000 <br />The City reserves the right, after proposals are opened and prior to award, to increase or reduce the <br />principal amount of the Bonds or the maturity amounts offered for sale. Any such increase or <br />reduction will be made in multiples of $5,000 in any of the maturities. In the event the principal <br />amount of the Bonds is increased or reduced, any premium offered or any discount taken by the <br />successful bidder will be increased or reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage by which the <br />principal amount of the Bonds is increased or reduced. <br />Proposals for the Bonds may contain a maturity schedule providing for a combination of serial <br />bonds and term bonds. All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at <br />a price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption and must conform to the maturity <br />schedule set forth above. In order to designate term bonds, the proposal must specify "Years of <br />Term Maturities" in the spaces provided on the Proposal Form. <br />BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM <br />The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of <br />Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond, <br />representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be <br />registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), <br />New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds. Individual purchases <br />of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single <br />maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants. <br />Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of <br />the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the <br />responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by <br />participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial <br />owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the <br />Bonds with DTC. <br />REGISTRAR <br />The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City <br />will pay for the services of the registrar. <br />OPTIONAL REDEMPTION <br />The Bond will not be subject to payment in advance of their respective stated maturity dates. <br />SECURITY AND PURPOSE <br />The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and <br />credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. The proceeds will be used to refund <br />the March 1, 2010 through 2014 maturities of the City's General Obligation Improvement Bonds, <br />Series 25, dated February 16, 1999. <br />
