The purpose of the hearing is to receive input from the public with respect to: (a) the proposed Bonds, and (b) any potential economic impact that the improvements, facility or property financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of the Bonds may have on the private sector.

PURPOSE FOR ISSUING BONDS
The Authority intends to issue the Bonds to provide funds to (a) finance the construction of two fire stations, and a training tower and training facility with supporting offices, and related improvements (the 'Series 2026 Project'); (b) fund any required deposits to a debt service reserve fund; and (c) pay costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds.
PARAMETERS OF THE BONDS
The Authority intends to issue the Bonds in a principal amount of not to exceed Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), to bear interest at a rate or rates of not to exceed five and one half percent (5.50%) per annum, to mature in not more than twenty-five (25) years from their date or dates, and to be sold at a price not less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the total principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of delivery of the Bonds.
The Bonds are to be issued and sold by the Authority pursuant to the Resolution, including as attachments to said Resolution a form of the General Indenture of Trust and First Supplemental Indenture of Trust (collectively, the 'Indenture') and a form of a Master Lease Agreement (the 'Lease'), which were before the Board at the time of the adoption of the Resolution.
