The following letter from Paul Speer, financial con- Finance sultant, to the Board, dated October 22nd, was referred to the Finance Commlittee: Gentlemen: We were employed by the Village in accordance with our proposal dated October 18, 1962 for the financing of all water revenue bonds over a period of two years. AS a result of that employment, the Village had a very successful sale of $1,450,000 Waterworks and Sewerage Revenue Bonds. We under- stand that further expansion of the Waterworks and Sewerage System is contemplated although not for the immediate future, and that certain general obligation bonds may be submitted To the voters in the near future. We submit this proposal as an offer to act as your financial consultants in connection with all bonds authorized on or prior to May 1, 1965 and as long thereafter as thi~ proposal remains in effect. AccepTance of this proposal will discontinue the agreement of October 18, 1962. As you~ financial consultants, we will examine finan- cial reports, statements and other related material pertinent To each prospective financing, and will discuss with Village offi- cials and engineers the needs of your Village and what, in our opinion, is the best method by which to finance those needs. We will confer with Village officials, yomr attorney and bond coun- sel in order To deter~ine what changes, if any, may be desirable in existing bond authorizations. Based upon such aforementioned examinations and dis- cussions, we will recommend in detail a plan To accomplish each financing, including maturity schedules, redemption features, ordinance provisions and covenants concerning the bonds. We will collecT, assemble and incorporate into an Offi- cial Statement for each issue, all necessary data concerning the Village including historical and general information, tax infor- m~tion, earnings records, rates and revenues both historical and projected, descriptions of the bonds, the bond ordinance and the project to be financed, and in any event, al! information neces- sary To present to prospective bidders and purchasers. We will submit same in draft form To the Village for approval and will recommend the reruns of and time To hold each sale. We will from time to time as advisable, furnish the rating services with adequate information so that they may be prepared To place as favorable a rating as possible on all bonds of the Village. These efforts, however, do not imply any rating or particular rating of any bond issue. Upon adoption of the necessary authorizations and ap- proval of the Official Statement and Notice of Sale concerning October 29, 1963 Finance each issue, we will circulate the Official Statement and Notice of Sale to prospective bidders and to selected in- vestors in an effort to create as wide an interest in each issue as possible. We will assist you at each sale and at that time will recommend which bid, if any, should beac- cgpted by the Village. Our employment hereunder is to continue through May 1, 1965 and thereafter until the expiration of a six month notice of termination. Our fee, as stated below, and as it concerns each issue, will include conferences with .Village officials, costs of preparation of any necessary preliminary reports, and our own services and outTo~pocket expenses, but will not include any of the fees or expenses of any other consultants, attorneys or engineers, nor the printing of the bonds, Official Statements and Notices of Sale, nor any costs of advertisements or elections. Such costs are to be borne by the Village, but we will arrange for such services upon your request and with your prior ap- proval of any expense involved. Our fee for each bond issue du~.ing such period is to be computed on the type and size thereof in accordance with our standard schedule as follows: Revenue Bonds General Obligations On first $ 200,000 $2,500 (minimum) $1,000 (minimum fee) On next $ 300,000 @$6.00 @$4.00 On next $ 500,000 @$5.00 @$3.00 On next $1,000,000 @$4.00 @$2.50 Over $2,000,000 @$3.00 @$2.00 Payment for ou~ services during the term of this agreemen~ will be based solely on the issuance of bonds and, to the exten~ p~ovided by the proceedings, from the proceeds of such bonds. It is understood that this fee does not include preparation of any comprehensive reviews or reports such as of- feted in our letter of June 12, 1962, which would be ordered and charged for separately by mutual agreement. The foregoing is an outline of the services we would perform, but in any even~, we would expect them :o be adequate to complete each issue. Respectfully submitted, PAUL D. SPEER & Associates, Inc. /S/ Paul D. Spoor, President This proposal accepted by resolution of the President and Board of Trustees this day of , 1963.

The engineers should have an opportunity to do the necessary field work before extremely cold weather and snow. 2.

Work can be started early and completed well within the con- stmuction season rather than r~nning late into the fall. 5.It is well To have MFT funds tied up as soon as possible and then they cannot be 'diverted' by the state.
