NHills sells $3 million in bonds for capital improvements By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer Another $3 million in bonds were sold last week by the Nichols Hills City Council to underwrite various municipal capital improvements. Ninetythree cents of every dollar from the proceeds will be devoted to street and water
projects. The bonds were purchased by Robert W. Baird & Co. of Milwaukee, Wisc., which submitted the lowest net interest cost and the lowest average interest rate: 3.09163 percent. Three other bids were received, from organizations in Oklahoma City, Chicago, Ill., and Prairie
Village, Kan. Although the bonds were sold on Nov. 13, the transaction won’t close until Jan. 10, 2019, city officials said. Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed the “AA+” rating for the Series 2019 GO bonds that Nichols Hills received in March on its $3 million tranche of Series 2018 GO bonds, according to Chris
Gander, a registered investment adviser with Bank of Oklahoma Financial Services. “This fiscal excellence brings big dividends” for Nichols Hills taxpayers, Mayor E. Peter Hoffman Jr. said. The Series 2018 and Series 2019 bonds were tranches from the $22 mil-

He could tell I was curious so he was always asking me questions and volunteering information regarding my mom’s pregnancy. He made it a point to include me in all of the conversations.” Kallenberger was equally impressed with young Cheatwood.
Three bids were submitted for the reconstruction of a deteriorated mile-long section of Britton Road in The Village. Crossland Heavy Contractors was the apparent low bidder at $3,954,000. Allen Contracting and Redlands Contracting submitted a joint bid of $4.384 million, and Schwarz Paving Co. bid $4.598 million. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) opened the bids Nov. 15. After the proposals are evaluated, a contract is expected to be awarded at the State Transportation Commission meeting Dec. 3. The asphalt pavement on Britton Road between May Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue are to be completely torn out and the street will be reconstructed from the base up. The three-lane thoroughfare will be paved in concrete, and a 10-foot-wide pedestrian/bicycle path is set to be built along the north side parallel to the street. Construction is scheduled to start sometime early next year, after the Christmas holiday season and is expected to be finished in November 2019, according to The Village City Manager Bruce Stone. Invoices from ODOT indicated the federal

David Kallenberger, M.D., and Crysten Cheatwood, D.O., are physician partners who practice obstetrics and gynecology at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City. But what makes their partnership so extraordinary, is that they share a professional and personal bond very few will ever experience. Cheatwood has known Kallenberger her entire life – literally. In fact, he was the one who physically brought her into this world, as the physician who delivered her as
lion general-obligation (GO) bond package that Nichols Hills voters authorized in 2015. Interest earnings on the city’s GO bonds are exempt from state and federal income taxes. The Series 2019 bonds will be paid off in 14 and
a newborn. “I could not have imagined 33 years ago when I delivered Crysten that she one day would be working with me,” Kallenberger said. “This is indeed a full circle moment for me.” Kallenberger was Cheatwood’s grandmother’s OBGYN and then her mother’s. “So I was familiar with his name and reputation very early on,” said. Cheatwood. “I can remember being young enough that my mom would
Bargain shopping not cheap for Oklahoma City woman By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer An Oklahoma City woman learned the hard way that switching tags on clothes may not be a bargain after all.
The Village police were summoned to a clothing store at Britton Road and Pennsylvania Avenue earlier this month on a suspect case of larceny. The store clerk told an offi-
cer that a woman was seen switching price tags on a purse and two shirts. The purse was valued at $100 but was found with a $22 tag, one shirt was priced at $18 but had a $5 tag on it and the
Village PD receives reaccreditation By Mike W. Ray Staff Writer The Village Police Department has been reaccredited by the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP). Of several hundred law enforcement agencies throughout the state, The Village P.D. was one of only about 20 to seek and achieve OACP accreditation, Deputy Police Chief Russ Landon said. The award constitutes recognition of a department’s professionalism, he said.
The OACP has 185 standards in its reaccreditation process, Landon said. These cover myriad areas, including a department’s policies governing use of force, racial profiling, an individual’s constitutional rights, vehicle pursuits, property and evidence management, and many other administrative, patrol and investigative operations. “This process provided for an independent review of our department’s overall operations and
other shirt cost $16 but was bearing a $3 tag when the woman was detained. The 54-year-old suspect denied having committed the alleged offense, but the store clerk signed a complaint and
banned the suspect from ever entering the store again. In addition, the suspect was issued a ticket for altering price labels. The maximum fine for that offense is $820 in The Village Municipal Court.

Northwest Classen inducts first class of famous grads into Hall Tom Cheatham, Northwest Classen High School Hall of Fame Committee Chairman said, “Our criteria are based on the contributions of our alumni on an international, national, state and local basis. We evaluated arts, business, athletics, social and philanthropic accomplishments and successes. This inaugural class represents all criteria in firstclass fashion.” The 2018 Hall of Fame honorees are Jim Daniel, Vince Gill, Dayna Davis Savage, Cliff Hudson and Ron Norick. The event benefited, the Friends of Northwest Classen High School Foundation, a 501(c)3. Its sole purpose is to fund basic needs and enhancements for faculty and students at NWC. Northwest was the newest high school in Oklahoma City when it graduated its first class in 1956. Drawing students from the affluent northwest OKC neighborhoods, it attracted the most prestigious of teachers. This “secret sauce” created classes of famous and successful alumni, which the NWC Hall of Fame has just begun to tap with its inaugural group. More than 300 persons attended the dinner event, plus 100 students and 30 faculty members.

ACTS Week
MSM Student Council hosted ACTS Week (Assisting Charities Through Service Activities) to raise money for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma. The theme for the week was Dr. Seuss and the quote for the week, by Dr. Seuss, was, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Dr.Seuss. The week involved dress up days, a bake sale, a dare assembly, a trivia competition, a basketball tournament, teacher auction, talent show, and a dance. Together, the Rocket community, led by MSM STUCO, raised over $6,000 for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma.

BONDS From Page 1 one half years, City Manager Shane Pate said. Twelve principal payments of $250,000 each are to be made on July 1, starting in 2021 and ending in 2032, Ordinance No. 1154 stipulates. Net interest will total almost $754,000 over the life of the bonds. The interest payments will come due semi-annually: on Jan. 1 and July 1 each year, starting in 2020, the ordinance specifies. The Series 2019 bonds will replace existing bonds that are being paid off, Pate said. “This will maintain a level rate of taxation,” City Attorney John Michael Williams said. Ordinance No. 1154 specifies that the 2019 bonds will finance: • $1.58 million in water system projects; • $1.22 million in street improvements; • $50,000 in sanitary sewer system projects; • $50,000 in municipal traffic control projects;
• $100,000 in communications and data systems renovations. Projects that will be undertaken with the bond funds, Pate said, are to include: improvements to Trenton Road between Fenwick and Bedford, the 1100 block of Hemstead Place, and miscellaneous paving projects in the city; rehabilitation of sanitary sewer lines in various areas; rehabilitation of more water wells and replacement of various water lines; pedes-
trian crossings and some lighting in city parks; plus video surveillance and telemetry software for the city’s water wells and booster houses. Including the $3 million in Series 2019 GO bonds, the City of Nichols Hills has gross outstanding general obligation bonded indebtedness of $30.76 million, ledgers reflect. The municipality’s current ad valorem tax levy imposed to meet the principal and inter-
est payments on its bonds is 27.06 mills, or $27.06 per $1,000 of net assessed valuation. (Oklahoma County’s assessment ratio on real property is 11 percent of market value.) Over the past 10 years the local tax rate for the bond debt sinking fund has averaged 26.735 mills per year.

UNCHARTED TERRITORY Knights get 2nd shot at Rejoice Christian in quarterfinals By Jason Jewell Sports Editor With two straight wins, the Crossings Christian football team has entered uncharted territory by reaching the Class A quarterfinals. The Knights (10-2) are scheduled to host Rejoice Christian this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Knights Stadium. “It’s been a very

“We had a great defensive game plan.” This Friday’s game is also a chance for Crossings to exact some revenge after losing 21-20 to Rejoice Christian on Aug. 31, and is the third meeting between the two teams in 14 months. A key factor, the coach said, is slowing Rejoice tailback Andrew Crow who has rushed for more than
2,000 yards. That task will largely be felt by linebackers Cole McMurphy and Jacob Snyder. McMurphy had 8 1/2 tackles and interception against Hooker, while Snyder collected six tackles. Snyder is also the Knights’ leading rusher and McMurphy also gets “tough yards” at running back, the coach said.

SWIMMING ROUNDUP
HHall claims 9 titles at Duncan Both Heritage Hall swimming teams opened the 2018-19 season in a strong fashion at Duncan, with the girls’ squad claiming five individual event titles and two relays, while the boys claimed two event crowns. "This was an awesome start to what looks like is going to be a fun season,” coach Jared Prince said. “I’m very proud of the team and the way we are approaching the season and training.” Freshman Dylan Beeson and Grace Shapard led the way by each claiming two individual titles. Beeson won the 200-yard freestyle in 2 minutes, 25.72 seconds and finished the night off with a winning time of 1:26.66 in the 100 breaststroke. Shapard earned gold medals in the 100 freestyle in 1:03.97 and

Pat Patterson Film Contest deadCenter Film is partnering with Thunder basketball player Pat Patterson to host The Pat Presents Oklahoma Student Film Contest. Kicking off on December 1, the short-film contest is open to all students currently enrolled in an Oklahoman high school, technology center, college, or university. Patrick Patterson is a ten year NBA veteran who grew up watching movies with his mom. He shares his passion for film with his fans on Instagram through “Pat Presents,” a movie club where fans get to join him to watch movies at Harkins Cinema in Bricktown. Patterson hosted screenings at the Toronto Film Festival when he played for the Raptors. Now, he is extending his vision to inspire the next generation of filmmakers right here in Oklahoma. “I’m a huge film fan and I love sharing that passion with the Oklahoma community,” said Patterson. “Hosting this short film contest with deadCenter allows me to honor rising filmmakers and give them the platform to showcase their work.” The contest will kick-off on December 1, 2018, at www.deadcenterfilm.org/PatPresents. Film submissions will be accepted until December 31, 2018. The films must be 12
minutes or less and must have been completed after January 1, 2017. Finalists for the contest will be announced on February 1, 2019. The finalists’ films will be screened and awards handed out on Sunday, February 24, at Harkins Bricktown Cinemas in downtown Oklahoma City. The screening will be open to the public. Tickets can be purchased at the theater. Through the Pat Presents Oklahoma Student Film Contest, students will have the chance to win new camera equipment, signed Pat Patterson memorabilia, and passes to deadCenter Film Festival. One grand prize winner will also have the opportunity to have their film screened at the festival in June. The initial round of judging will be performed by the deadCenter team with Patterson and a few of his celebrity friends selecting finalists and winners. “We are thrilled to partner with Pat Patterson on this student film contest,” according to Sara Thompson, deadCenter Film Director of Programming.
“His enthusiasm for film is infectious. And, we are always looking for more ways to highlight the great work being done by Oklahoma student filmmakers.” Student films are always fascinating. They offer insight into what kids and young adults are thinking about, how they communicate, and how they view the world around them. The themes are often very personal. The filming techniques are usually more experimental. And, thanks to Oklahoma’s outstanding career tech system and university film programs, students across the state have access to better equipment and training than ever before. So the movies look great as well. The Pat Presents Oklahoma Student Film Contest is one of several partnerships deadCenter has established to expand its reach in the Oklahoma film community. deadCenter also partners with the Oklahoma Film + Music Office on year round professional development, the Oklahoma Film Society for free monthly art film screenings at 21C Museum Hotel, and Metro Technology Centers for its annual deadCenter University program for sixty high school students.

BRITTON From Page 1 share of the project cost is $3,130,306. Since the City of The Village paid $782,576 up-front as its share of the cost, Stone said, that would leave a balance due of $41,118. Although that’s more than city officials had budgeted for the project, it’s not a deal-breaker because the city saved about $200,000 on six contracts it awarded for the rehabilitation of 26 streets totaling approximately 15 miles, Stone said. Britton Road carries approximately 21,700 vehicles per day near May and about 14,300 per day in the vicinity of Penn, traffic counts compiled last year indicate. Crossland was the low bidder on five of the six street resurfacing contracts in The Village that will be financed from a $10.38 million general-obligation bond
DOCTOR From Page 1 “She made an impression on me at a very young age,” he said. “She would ask questions that were very inquisitive and profound for a 12-yearold. She was always probing for more information.” Cheatwood remembers being fascinated by medicine and almost obsessed with her mother’s pregnancy. “I attended every doctor's appointment. I even read the ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ book with my mom. I was completely invested.” The day her sister, Hannah, was born, Cheatwood was in the delivery room. That is when her fate was sealed. “I was standing with my dad at the head of the bed when Dr. K walked into the room. He said, ‘Crissy ... do you want to deliver this baby?’ Wondering if he was actually serious, I nodded my head yes. He said, ‘go over to the sink and wash up to your elbows, we’ll help you with some gloves.’ He told me where to put my hands and then put his hands over mine. And then he talked me through the whole thing!” From that moment on, Cheatwood knew exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up. She wanted to be an OBGYN just like her newfound idol, “Dr. K.” “She was a natural,” Kallenberger said. “She was not shocked, she just jumped right in without question and working with my hands literally delivered her sister. It was an amazing experience. In a way, a doctor was also born that day.” Cheatwood shadowed Kallenberger several times during high school, college and
issue which local voters approved in January. At $2,410,000, Crossland was the low bidder for four contracts to repave approximately 11 miles of streets in The Village, including Northland Road, Berkshire Way, Lakeside Drive, Ridgeview Drive, Greystone Avenue, Carlton Way, Sunnymeade Place, Village Drive, Carlisle Road, Churchill Way, Stratford Drive, Brighton Avenue, Oxford Way, Sheffield Road and Hasley Drive. Crossland also will resurface Britton Road from Pennsylvania Avenue to Waverly Avenue, and Pennsylvania between Britton Road and Westchester Drive. Crossland also won a $519,000 contract to resurface the two eastbound lanes of Hefner Road for a mile and a half, between Pennsylvania and Lakeside. The existing asphalt will be milled off and the street will receive a 2inch-thick asphalt overlay. In addition, the degraded southside eastbound lane of Hefner between May Avenue and Lake-
medical school. She did a couple rotations with him again during her residency training. Now, with her medical degree in hand, she is Kallenberger’s newest partner. Cheatwood said she remembers the moment he made her the offer to come work with him. “I was speechless initially, again wondering if he was actually serious. And then I nodded my head yes. It was wildly similar to the reaction I had when he asked if I wanted to deliver my sister all those years ago.” “I feel like I've been shadowing him for 22 years,” Cheatwood said. “He has afforded me a tremendous amount of encouragement and exposure. He is a phenomenal teacher and an exceptional physician. I hope to continue following in his footsteps.” Kallenberger said he has no doubt that Cheatwood will tread her own path, and is beyond proud of the physician she has become. “It is somewhat surreal working

It is comforting to know that someone with her compassion and skill set will be available to take care of my patients in the same way that I have tried to do over the last 42 years.” Kallenberger estimated that he has delivered more than 15,000 babies in his lifetime. While he said some of them have grown up to be doctors, Cheatwood is the first he’s ever had the privilege to call partner. “The transition we've made from student/teacher to colleagues has been interesting and entertaining,” Cheatwood said. “A few days after I started here, he told me to call him David now. I still can't do it
without laughing a little bit. I've heard people talk about their ‘work wife’ or ‘work husband.’ We definitely have a ‘work father/daughter’relationship. I have so much respect for him. He's been such an advocate for me as a new physician. Even though I'm working beside him now, I will always look up to him.”

The market opens each Friday so that students may shop for food to eat over the weekend. Students are also referred in emergency situations.
Stephanie Henry runs the program and recently NHUMC had an open house for the community. Church members visited with students and got to see the mission first hand. The clothing closet serves the JM community with all kinds of clothes. “I was invited to be a part of the Rotary Club and needed to wear a tie,” said senior Roberto Arozareno. “I didn’t have one, but got one from the clothes closet,” “I have sent students to get coats when I see them coming to school without one on a cold day,” teacher Kendra Whitman said. “Many of our students don’t have the money to be properly clothed with

other things that will help us in our STUCO roles, as well as things that will help us in life in general. I personally have learned many things that have helped me be a better leader, take responsibility for everything I do, and just be a better person.” Heritage Hall was pleased to serve as this year’s convention secretary, responsible for reading the roll call for all schools in attendance, facilitating the ribbon ceremony, and taking accurate notes of the conference proceedings.

Only the beginning: Casady’s campus development to continue
L
ast month, Head of School Nathan Sheldon unveiled Casady’s new Pennsylvania entrance and Alice Aycock statue. Students, parents, faculty, and important leaders of the project gathered before the statue to celebrate the hard work and dedication invested in the entrance. According to Sheldon, in response to devastating “events around the country,” Casady administration, parents and donors reevaluated

the entrance’s construction timeline. Our community devoted itself to developing a design that establishes security and reflects Casady’s mission to develop thoughtful, creative, and driven students. Sheldon said that Casady’s “intention-
al” mindset motivates our community to achieve great success, which he hopes visitors, students and faculty will embrace when entering our campus. Aycock’s statue promotes Casady’s mission and energetic culture in an artistic way, “intertwined” with our campus. Sheldon also added that Casady’s development will not slow at the completion of our new Pennsylvania entrance. Rather, our progress has only
set in motion more ideas for the future. Sheldon said we should hope to begin seeing the administration focus their attention on the Primary Division and performing arts centers in the relatively near future.

Many of these men and women valued Casady parents’ concerns for security, and took action abruptly. “We are a ‘measure twice, cut once’ school,” Sheldon said.

For all things, we give thanks What the Bible has to say about Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Day is a time to reflect and be thankful for all that God has given us. There are many great Bible verses for Thanksgiving to reflect on. The following are some favorites: Hebrews 12:28-29 — Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. Psalm 28:7 — The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him. Psalm 69:30 — I will praise the name of God with song, And shall magnify Him with thanksgiving. Psalm 95:1-6 — O Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, And a great King above all gods, In whose hand are the depths of the earth;
The peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it; And His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. 1 Chronicles 16:8 — Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalm 107:29-32 — He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad because they were quiet; So He guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people, and praise Him at the seat of the elders.
1 Chronicles 16:34 — Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 100:4 — Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. 1 Corinthians 15:57 — But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:6-7 — So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

American Spirit Dance Company to go ‘Home for the Holidays’ Oklahoma City University’s American Spirit Dance Company will present its “Home for the Holidays” show Dec. 6-9 in the Kirkpatrick Fine Arts Center at N.W. 24 Street and Blackwelder Avenue.

tap dances and more from OCU’s nationally recognized dancers and choreographers. It includes an entirely new lineup of dances with the precision and beauty that has made the dance company internationally known. OnStage, a national media outlet covering the performing arts, ranked OCU’s Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment among the top
three dance programs in the nation — ahead of Juilliard — for the second year in a row. The program has alumni credits in more than 86 Broadway musicals and has produced 49 Radio City Rockettes. PlayBill ranked Oklahoma City University among this year’s Top 10 Most Represented Colleges on Broadway. “Home for the Holidays” has become a yearly tradi-
tion for families across the state and beyond. Attendees will have a photo opportunity with Santa’s helpers during the show’s intermission. Sweets and merchandise will also be available in the lobby.

Jane Taylor Fine Jewelry dazzles at HRI events S urveying a table of luscious jewelry that sparkled in the reflective light of a gorgeous chandelier is just a gal’s dream. We had that dream come true at the Heart Rhythm Institute’s Patron Party at Jane and Jerry Gamble’s spectacular home. Valerie Naifeh, owner of Naifeh’s Jewelry, brought in Jane Taylor Fine Jewelry so that we could drool. Naifeh has donated 25 percent of sales to HRI. As I dragged my hubby Jerry around the table while pointing out some beauteous pieces, he suddenly balked, “Why am I the only guy at this table?” I didn’t think he’d catch on so quickly and thank
goodness I had a leash around his neck. Other husbands soon followed suit as we women did our shopping. Getting a jump on Christmas were Ann Johnstone, Donna Murray, Mary Ann Harroz, Judy Love and Kristin Bohanon and HRI Special Event coordinator Judy Austin. Soon they were joined by Linda Slawson, Sandy Meyers, Glenna Tanenbaum, Debbie South and Donna Murray.

Hostess Jane Gamble welcomed guests to the spacious home which had rooms for everything including beautifully presented roast beef sandwiches, bacon wrapped dates, a plethora of finger foods and a display of desserts than looked almost as appealing as the jewelry. Sampling those were Beverly and Mark Funke, Lori and Dodge Hill, Edie Roodman, Brenda and Tom McDaniel, Kanela Huff, Stacy and Mark McDaniel, Linda and Bill Rodgers, and Judie Steelman. Judie was busy gathering information for another trip – had we ever been to the Faroe Islands?

Sarah Geiger, Laurie Hyde, Amalia Miranda Silverstein, Elissa Norwood, Ann Garrett, Pama Palmer, Gracie Moyers, Barbara Workman, Sandy Kraft and Betty Crow. Seated for lunch, we marveled at the ingenuity of the center-

Around the tables I saw Anne McKinney, Pat Potts, Patron Chairperson Sharlene Branham, Cindy Davis who needed a separate chair for her purchases (Cindy is the most generous and supportive person I know), Janice Segell, Debra Penn, Shelia Porter, Linda Barnett, Catherine Liach and Peg Malloy. Asking Peg about her necklace led to a discussion about people saying, “Is that real?” (That’s NOT polite!) She said she answers, “As real as I
need it to be.” MacKenzie Dennis, event co-chairman, (husband Ryan Dennis was the cochairman) welcomed the group, and the invocation was given by Sarah Geiger. A heartfelt tribute to the late Dr. Ralph Lazzara was given by Dr. Benjamin Scherlag. It was a loving tribute to a friend and colleague, in which he said, “I taught him about Matzo ball soup and he taught me oysters on the half shell.” After heralding the stellar accomplishments of Dr. Lazzara, he ended with, “He was a born leader.” Dr. Sonny Jackman outlined the huge second recent loss in this collegial medical community, that of Wil Webster. Many times, brought to the point of tears, he outlined the evolution of life-saving procedures and equipment pioneered by his friend. I wondered how many in the room had been touched by the brilliance of this incredible mind. Patient testimonials were given by Jordan von Netzer and his father Randy Netzer. Jordan first felt the effects of Atrial fibrillation when he was a freshman in high school, and he led us through his process until his surgery at age 27. He has since done a triathlon and ocean swimming. Randy Netzer’s heart-rhythm history was later in life, but they both stood proudly and strongly before the group making us aware of the miracles of this science, and the fine and deeply learned people who are saving lives.

The annual financial information and any notices of material events will be provided by the City to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board via the Electronic Municipal Market Access System (“EMMA”) @ www.emma.msrb.org. The City authorizes the use of the Official Statement in connection with the sale of the Bonds by the purchasers thereof. Section 10. The Mayor (or Vice Mayor in the absence of the Mayor) is authorized and directed on behalf of the City to execute and deliver the Bonds upon receipt of the purchase price and to direct disbursement of proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds, to include payment of the costs and expenses of issuance of the Bonds, and further to approve, execute, and deliver all bond, securities, tax and security documents, contracts and certifications necessary to consummate issuance of the Bonds, including but not limited to the Official Bid Form and contracts with the Paying Agent-Registrar, financial adviser, bond counsel and others providing services with respect to issuance of the Bonds. Section 11. The City reasonably anticipates that the aggregate amount of “qualified tax-exempt obligations” (as defined in section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), which will be issued by the City and all subordinate entities thereof during calendar year 2019 will not exceed $10,000,000, and hereby covenants and agrees, as a material inducement and consideration to the purchasers of its Bonds, that neither the City nor any subordinate entity thereof will, during calendar year 2019, issue “qualified tax-exempt obligations” (as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code), in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000. Further, it is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance that the Bonds shall constitute and the Bonds are hereby designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code, in order that the purchasers of the Bonds may avail themselves of the exception contained in said Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code with respect to interest incurred to carry tax-exempt bonds. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will not designate as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” more than $10,000,000 in aggregate amount of obligations issued by the City or any subordinate entity thereof during calendar year 2019. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the City and other related entities may issue obligations, provided that the issuance of such obligations do not disqualify the Bonds as “qualified taxexempt obligations” as defined by Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code. The City hereby covenants and agrees with the purchasers of the Bonds to take such further actions and execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or proper to carry out the intent of this Ordinance, and/or as may be in furtherance of the issuance of the Bonds, and the Mayor (or Vice Mayor in the absence of the Mayor) is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to take such actions and execute such documents as may be deemed necessary or proper from time to time. Section 12. The City determines and intends that the Bonds shall also qualify for the exception for small governmental units contained in Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code and, accordingly, for purposes of qualifying for such exception, the term “qualified tax-exempt obligations” as used herein includes “tax-exempt bonds” as such term is used in Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code. The City covenants that the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code) issued by the City, including all subordinate entities of the City during the calendar year 2019, will not exceed $5,000,000.
