AMENDING SUBSECTION (e) OF SECTION 14 AND SECTION 18 RELATING TO INTEREST RATES AND DISCOUNT THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Amendment. Subsection (e) of Section 14 of Ordinance No. 3815 shall be amended to read as follows: "(e) For the Bonds to bear interest at such rate or rates (or variable rates, as the case may be) per annum not to exceed those specified in the proceedings, pay- able at such time or times and at such place or places within or without the State and evidenced in such manner as the City may deem appropriate;". Section 2. Amendment. Section 18 of Ordinance No. 3815 shall be amended to read as follows: "Section 18. Sale of Bonds. Bonds may be sold at such prices and in such manner as the Mayor and Common Council may direct, at public or private sale. Such Bonds may be sold at, above, or below the par or face value thereof, but the sale D86-7(ic) 2/27/80 San Bernardino 60,009-2-2 price shall not be less than the percentage of the par or face value of the Bonds specified in the pro- ceedings." Section 3. Effective Date. This Ordinance is an urgency measure and shall take effect upon adoption. The facts constituting such urgency are: Such develop- ments as the present international situation, the energy crisis, which among other things, are causing the current rate of inflation, have prompted efforts to control the inflation and such efforts have raised interest rates of private lending institutions to an extent not previously anticipated. The City cannot control these external forces, but it has enacted Ordinance No. 3815 to help to alleviate its unemployment problem. In view of the current situation, the interest rate and discount limita- tions in Ordinance No. 3815 appear to be unrealistic. Several projects are currently pending. The high private interest costs will hamper construction because of lack of financing. This makes the City financing pursuant to Ordinance No. 3815 even more critical. The amendment to Ordinance No. 3815 made by this Ordinance should expedite the financing of the facilities which will help to alleviate the severe unemployment problem in the City. -2- D86-8(ic} 2/27/80 . .
