purchaser to obtain DTC eligibility shall not constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the purchaser to
accept delivery of and pay for the bonds.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRATION: Principal shall be payable at the principal corporate
trust office of U.S. Bank, National Association, Detroit, Michigan, or such other transfer agent as the
City may hereafter designate by notice mailed to the registered owner of record not less than 60 days
prior to an interest payment date. Interest shall be paid by check mailed to the registered owner of
record as shown on the registration books of the City as of the 15th day prior to an interest payment
date. The bonds will be transferred only upon the registration books of the City kept by the transfer
agent.
PURPOSE AND SECURITY: The bonds are authorized for the purpose of paying the cost of acquiring
and constructing various capital improvements for the City. The bonds will be a first budget obligation
of the City, payable from the general funds of the City including the collection of ad valorem taxes on
all taxable property in the City subject to applicable constitutional, statutory and charter tax rate
limitations. The rights or remedies of bondholders may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally now existing or hereafter
enacted and by the application of general principles of equity including those relating to equitable
subordination.
10 May 20, 2024
AWARD OF BONDS – TRUE INTEREST COST: The bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose bid
produces the lowest true interest cost determined in the following manner: the lowest true interest cost
will be the single interest rate (compounded on April 1, 2025 and semi-annually thereafter) necessary to
discount the debt service payments from their respective payment date to the closing date, in an amount
equal to the price bid, excluding accrued interest. Each bidder shall state in its bid the true interest cost
to the City, computed in the manner specified above.
TAX MATTERS: In the opinion of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, P.L.C., bond counsel, under
existing law, assuming compliance with certain covenants, interest on the bonds is excludable from
gross income for federal income tax purposes as described in the opinion, and the bonds and interest
thereon are exempt from all taxation by the State of Michigan or any taxing authority within the State of
Michigan except estate taxes and taxes on gains realized from the sale, payment or other disposition
thereof.
“QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS”: The City has designated the bonds as “qualified tax-
exempt obligations” for purposes of the deduction of interest expense by financial institutions pursuant
to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
ISSUE PRICE: The winning bidder shall assist the City in establishing the issue price of the bonds and
shall execute and deliver to the City at closing an “issue price” or similar certificate setting forth the
reasonably expected initial offering price to the public or the sales price or prices of the bonds, together
with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached either
as Appendix I-1 or Appendix I-2 to the Preliminary Official Statement for the bonds, with such
modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the winning bidder, the
City and bond counsel.
The City intends that the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-1(f)(3)(i) (defining
“competitive sale” for purposes of establishing the issue price of the bonds) will apply to the initial sale
of the bonds (the “Competitive Sale Requirements”) because:
a. the City is disseminating this Notice of Sale to potential underwriters in a manner that is reasonably
designed to reach potential underwriters;
b. all bidders shall have an equal opportunity to bid;
c. the City anticipates receiving bids from at least three underwriters of municipal bonds who have
established industry reputations for underwriting new issuances of municipal bonds; and
d. the City anticipates awarding the sale of the bonds to the bidder who submits a firm offer to purchase
the bonds at the lowest true interest cost, as set forth in this Notice of Sale.
Any bid submitted pursuant to this Notice of Sale shall be considered a firm offer for the purchase of the
bonds, as specified in the bid.
In the event that all of the Competitive Sale Requirements are not satisfied, the City shall so advise the
winning bidder. The City will not require bidders to comply with the “hold-the-offering price rule” (as
described below), and therefore does not intend to use the initial offering price to the public as of the
sale date of any maturity of the bonds as the issue price of that maturity, though the winning bidder, in
consultation with the City, may elect to apply the “hold-the-offering price rule.” Bids will not be subject
to cancellation in the event the Competitive Sale Requirements are not satisfied. Unless a bidder intends
to apply the “hold-the-offering price rule” (as described below), bidders should prepare their bids on the
assumption that all of the maturities of the bonds will be subject to the 10% Test (as described below).
The winning bidder must notify the City of its intention to apply either the “hold-the-offering-price rule”
or the 10% Test at or prior to the time the bonds are awarded.
If the winning bidder does not request that the “hold-the-offering price rule” apply to determine the issue
price of the bonds, then the following two paragraphs shall apply:
a. The City shall treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the bonds (the “10% Test”) is sold to
the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis. The winning
bidder shall advise the City if any maturity of the Bonds satisfies the 10% Test as of the date and time of
the award of the bonds; and
b. Until the 10% Test has been satisfied as to each maturity of the bonds, the winning bidder agrees to
promptly report to the City the prices at which the unsold bonds of that maturity have been sold to the
11 May 20, 2024
public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the closing date has occurred, until
either (i) all bonds of that maturity have been sold or (ii) the 10% Test has been satisfied as to the bonds
of that maturity, provided that, the winning bidder’s reporting obligation after the closing date may be at
reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the City or bond counsel.
If the winning bidder does request that the “hold-the-offering price rule” apply to determine the issue
price of the bonds, then following three paragraphs shall apply:
a. The winning bidder, in consultation with the City, may determine to treat (i) pursuant to the 10% Test,
the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the bonds is sold to the public as the issue price of that
maturity and/or (ii) the initial offering price to the public as of the sale date of any maturity of the bonds
as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering price rule”), in each case applied on a maturity-
by-maturity basis. The winning bidder shall advise the City if any maturity of the bonds satisfies the
10% Test as of the date and time of the award of the bonds. The winning bidder shall promptly advise
the City, at or before the time of award of the bonds, which maturities of the bonds shall be subject to
the 10% Test or shall be subject to the hold-the-offering price rule or both.
b. By submitting a bid, the winning bidder shall (i) confirm that the underwriters have offered or will
offer the bonds to the public on or before the date of the award at the offering price or prices (the “initial
offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in the bid submitted by the winning
bidder, and (ii) if the hold-the-offering-price rule applies, agree, on behalf of the underwriters
participating in the purchase of the bonds, that the underwriters will neither offer nor sell unsold bonds
of any maturity to which the hold-the-offering-price rule shall apply to any person at a price that is
higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending
on the earlier of the following:
a. the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
b. the date on which the underwriters have sold at least 10% of that maturity of the bonds to the
public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public;
The winning bidder shall promptly advise the City when the underwriters have sold 10% of that maturity
of the bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public, if that
occurs prior to the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date.
c. The City acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth above, the winning bidder will rely
on (i) the agreement of each underwriter to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of
the bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if
applicable to the bonds, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the related pricing wires,
(ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the bonds to the
public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the
requirements for establishing issue price of the bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to
comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the bonds, as set forth in a selling group
agreement and the related pricing wires, and (iii) in the event that an underwriter or dealer who is a
member of the selling group is a party to a third-party distribution agreement that was employed in
connection with the initial sale of the bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a
party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the bonds,
including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule,
if applicable to the bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing
wires. The City further acknowledges that each underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to
comply with its agreement regarding the requirements for establishing issue price of the bonds,
including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable
to the bonds, and that no underwriter shall be liable for the failure of any other underwriter, or of any
dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party
distribution agreement to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for
establishing issue price of the bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the
hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the bonds. By submitting a bid, each bidder confirms that:
a. any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third-party distribution
12 May 20, 2024
agreement (to which the bidder is a party) relating to the initial sale of the bonds to the public, together
with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter, each dealer
who is a member of the selling group, and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party
distribution agreement, as applicable, (A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold
bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the closing date has occurred, until either all bonds
of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the winning bidder that the 10% Test
has been satisfied as to the bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the
closing date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the winning bidder,
and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by
the winning bidder and as set forth in the related pricing wires, (B) to promptly notify the winning
bidder of any sales of bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an
underwriter participating in the initial sale of the bonds to the public (each such term being used as
defined below), and (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the underwriter, dealer
or broker-dealer, the winning bidder shall assume that each order submitted by the underwriter, dealer or
broker-dealer is a sale to the public.
b. any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the bonds
to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each
underwriter or dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection
with the initial sale of the bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-
party distribution agreement to (i) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold bonds of
each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the closing date has occurred, until either all bonds of that
maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the winning bidder or such underwriter that the
10% Test has been satisfied as to the bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after
the closing date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the winning bidder
or such underwriter, and (ii) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so
long as directed by the winning bidder or the underwriter and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
c. sales of any bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter shall not constitute sales to
the public for purposes of this Notice of Sale. Further, for purposes of this Notice of Sale:
a. “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party;
b. “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the
City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial
sale of the bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract
directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the
bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution
agreement participating in the initial sale of the bonds to the public);
c. a purchaser of any of the bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the
purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (i) more than 50% common ownership of the
voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct
ownership by one corporation of another), (ii) more than 50% common ownership of their capital
interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one
partnership of another), or (iii) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the
outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership,
as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct
ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and
d. “sale date” means the date that the bonds are awarded by the City to the winning bidder.

promptly return the good faith deposit, if any. Payment for the bonds shall be made in Federal Reserve
Funds.
CUSIP NUMBERS: It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the bonds,
but neither the failure to print such numbers on any bonds nor any error with respect thereto shall
constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the purchaser thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the
bonds in accordance with terms of the purchase contract. All expenses in relation to the printing of
CUSIP numbers on the bonds shall be paid for by the City; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service
Bureau charge for the assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by

rating agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
