Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the authority of Common Council Resolution File No. 981566 adopted March 2, 1999, being a resolution combining general obligation bonds authorized under various initial resolutions into one issue designated as "corporate purpose bonds" as it relates to bonds authorized but not sold in 1999, be and hereby is rescinded; and, be it
Further Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee in accordance with sec. 67.05(13), Stats., that the Commissioners of the Public Debt are authorized and requested to issue and sell general obligation "corporate purpose bonds" in the aggregate amount of $181,983,677 for each of the public purposes provided by the underlying initial resolutions as set forth herein and in the amounts shown:
