City Council. As an Ordinance, Council must hold a public hearing
after having provided public notice of the hearing. The Ordinance

facilitate communication regarding ongoing projects and open items and insure that the DCMs
are fully aware of all ongoing work undertaken by bond counsel prior to invoicing.
Please let us know if you have further questions or need additional clarification.
Very truly yours,
