REGULAR MEETING MAY 14, 1979
A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Peter Mullen, City,Controller, in-
dicated this was an intent resolution to begin the process of issuing a mortgage - backed houring
bond. He indicated they were starting this process because of .a possibility that the Federal
government may either stop this bonding method, or, at least, restrict its usage. He said that
the State passed a law that allows mortgage bonds to be used inside the city limits for those
families having a combined family income of approximately $20,000 or less. He indicated this
would be an excellent tool to make South Bend an attractive city to purchase a home. He in -
dicated that because of the possibility that the Federal government may restrict this, they are
requesting that the Council pass this resolution, in the event that Congress grandfathers any
municipality in the process of development this type of bond. Mr. Gordon Medlock, manager of
the local Traub & Company, asked the Council to amend or table this resolution because this
appoints a small Denver, Colorado firm as the underwriter for theCity bonds. He indicated that
a South Bend investment firm should be appointed, and a nationally recognized underwriter should
be selected. Mayor Nemeth indicated that the City had selected Kirchner Moore, because they
had refinanced the bonds for Century Center, as well as work on the parking garage bond issue.
He said he thought Kirchner Moore was qualified and able to handle this bond issue. Mr. Jack
Brehmer, account executive for Bache and Company, indicated that their company had submitted
a prospectus to the CIty. He indicated that the Council should eliminate the underwriter from
this resolution,,;in order that a local firm could be selected. Council Member Kopczynski asked
the total amount of this bond. Mr. Medlock indicated twenty -five percent of the mortgages issued'.
in the City for the last three years would be the maximum and this could run up to forth million.
Council Member Kopczynski asked the underwriter's fee. Mr. Medlock indicated it would range from
one and one -half to two and one -half percent. Council Member Kopczynski indicated that the Counc
should consider a local underwriter.
Council Member Adams asked if it was necessary to name a firm in this resolution. Mr. Mullen in-
dicated it would.be preferable, and if it was eliminated there was a possibility that the City
Could not be grandfathered. She made a motion to amend the resolution by adding, in the first
Whereas, and Traub and Company, after Kirchner Moore; in Section I, after Kirchner Moore, add
and Traub and Company equally, and at the end of the sentence add and Traub and Company; in
Section III, after Kirchner Moore add and Traub and Company; make a new Section IV to read "Traub
and Company with Kirchner Moore are to select a recognized leader in the field to lead the under-
writing teams, seconded by Council Member Kopczynski. Mayor Nemeth indicated this would eliminate
all other local firms. Council Member Miller indicated that the Council could pass other resolu-
tions naming other firms in the future. Council Member Taylor indicated he would like to stay
away from naming a local firm. He suggested that Section I be changed to read "The City agrees
to issue such bonds and to sell the same to Kirchner, Moore and Company and a local underwriting
firm, pursuant to the terms of a Bond Purchase Agreement to be mutually acceptable to the City
and Kirchner, Moore and Company and a local underwriting. firm." After discussion, Council Member
Adams indicated she would like to change her motion. Council Member Dombrowski made a motion to
adjourn to discuss this matter, seconded by Council Member Horvath. The motion carried and the
meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m., and reconvened at 8:05 p.m. Council Member Adams withdrew
her motion. She made a motion to change Section I, by adding "and a local underwriting firm or
firms equally," after Kirchner Moore and Company, and at the end of the sentence add "and a
local underwriting firm or firms .'; in Section III add "and local underwriting firm or firms, at
the end of the sen- tense; make a new Section IV to read "Kirchner Moore and Company with the
local underwriting firm or firms are to select a recognized leader in the field to lead the
underwriting teams "; the present Section IV becomes Section V, seconded by Council Member
Kopczynski., The motion carried.. Council Member Taylor made a motion to adopt this resolution,
