In each of said levy years from 2024 to 2038 inclusive, the direct annual irrepealable tax which has been levied shall be extended upon the tax roll of the City and shall be collected by the officers of the City in the same manner and at the same time as taxes for general City purposes for such years are extended and collected, and when so collected, the proceeds of said taxes shall be used solely for paying the principal and interest on the Obligations as long as any Obligation remains outstanding. The City hereby appropriates from its tax levy made in 2023 an amount sufficient to pay the interest due on the Obligations on October 1, 2024.
6. The Obligations shall be in a form approved by the Secretary of the Public Debt Commission (the “Secretary”) and shall be signed by those officers whose signatures are required by law, and shall be a general obligation of the City.
7. The Comptroller is hereby authorized to execute a Supplemental Certificate of the Master Continuing Disclosure Certificate for the Obligations.
Be it further resolved, that this resolution shall be entered upon the permanent record of the Commissioners and formally communicated by the Secretary to the Clerk of the City.
I hereby certify that the forgoing is a true and correct copy of the original resolution that was duly passed and adopted by the recorded affirmative votes of the following Commissioners: Bernard J. Allen, David Misky, and Mary Reavey, constituting a majority of the members of the Public Debt Commission, at a meeting thereof that was duly called and held at 3:00 p.m. on March 6, 2024, in Conference Room 405 at City Hall, 200 East Wells Street, and via teleconference, and at which a quorum was present and acting throughout, and that said copy has been compared by me with the original resolution recorded in the records of the Public Debt Commission and that it is a correct transcript thereof and of the whole of said resolution.
