Title

An ordinance of the City of Mesquite, Texas authorizing the issuance and sale of City of Mesquite, Texas, Combination Tax and Limited Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, in one or more series in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $61,000,000.00; levying a tax in payment thereof; awarding the sale thereof; prescribing the form of said certificates; approving execution and delivery of a paying agent agreement; approving the official statement; approving and enacting other provisions relating thereto.

 

Body

The parameter ordinance allows the City maximum flexibility, as the timing of the bond sale can occur at any point (i.e., not locked into pricing only on a Council meeting day) after passage of the ordinance subject to each Council-approved parameter being met or exceeded.
