SECTION 6
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Listed below are the suggested scope of services that were provided by the City in its
request for proposals. Because we are proposing to serve the City as an underwriter, we
have deleted any services in connection with financial advisory services for a competitively
bid financing. However, we have added to this list several other services that Ehrlich
Bober would provide as underwriter for the City's proposed bond issue. These additions
are in boldface type.
1. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of alternative financing
structures including fixed rate and variable rate financing alternatives.
2. Advise the City on the appropriate financial structure of the issue,
including principal amount, maturity dates, coverage requirements,
interest payment dates and early redemption provisions.
3. Prepare and recommend amonization schedules for the proposed fmancing.
4. Arrange and implement procedural steps for the fmancing.
5. Make recommendations regarding the fmancial content of resolutions, and other
documents.
6. Prepare and revise, as requested by City staff and consultants, the Official Statements
and other documentation for the financing.
7. Assist in obtaining bond ratings from Moody's and/or Standard and Poors, if
appropriate.
8. Assist in obtaining municipal bond insurance or other credit enhancement, if
appropriate.
9. With due regard for the needs and requirements of the City, make recommendations
regarding timing of the financing to take optimum advantage of market conditions.
10. Advise City staff as to the selection of the bond printers, fiscal agents and paying
agents, including obtaining competitive bids, where appropriate.
11. Provide trade publications, including the Bond Buyer, with
information regarding the salient features and proposed sale date of the
transaction.
12. Analyze the market in the period prior to the sale of the issue to
determine the best method for marketing the securities, given
prevailing market conditions.
13. Develop an expected pricing scale, terms of offering and strategy for
the sale.

financing proceeds, if any, pending their expenditure by the City. Such advice
should include only very secure and insured investments so that the City assumes no
risk whatsoever regarding security of principal and guaranteed return on investment.
15. Compile a complete bond record for the City which will include all
details regarding the securities, their sale and the resulting payments
required for principal and interest, along with the respective dates of
such payments.
16. Compile a pricing report which compares the pricing and underwriter's
discount of the City issue to other similar issues on the market at that
time.
17. Supply any other information requested by the City with regard to the
issue, market information, operational consideration or other topics or
18. Continued monitoring of the City's unexpended bond proceeds so the
City can realize capital appreciation on its investment portfolio,
thereby eliminating any negative arbitrage that may have been present _
upon purchase of the initial portfolio. By using computer software
expressly designed for such "reoptimization," Ehrlich Bober will
structure the City investment portfolio subject to expenditure
requirements and market yields.

Dear Mr. Henderson:
On behalf of Stone & Youngberg and Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette, and in response to our recent discussions with you
and your Department Staff regarding our relocation to new
firms, we commit to co-underwrite the above-referenced
financing at the prices set forth in our original proposal
submitted to the city on September 9, 1988. In addition to
underwriting the City's bonds at the same price, we will also
provide all of the services highlighted in our proposal.
with regards to personnel, we will continue to be the
individuals responsible for the proposed bond issue. The
third member of our financing team, Mr. Mark Young, is now
also associated with Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, and will
be available to the city on an as-needed basis.
As we indicated in our proposal, we are committed to
providing the city of San Bernardino with the highest service
available. We look forward to working with the city now and
in the future.
Sincerely,
Dawn Vincent
