Subsequently, staff and counsel were asked to prepare, for Council and Commission consideration, an agreement with Miller and Schroeder Pinancia1, Inc., for investment banking services. In addition, staff conducted a survey of each of the firms that had previously indicated an interest in providing investment banking services. The results of this survey have confirmed Miller and Schroeder's high level of experience and capability. In response to the Council's and Commission's request, the attached draft agreement was prepared. The draft agreement is currently under review by Miller and Schroeder and ia anticipated to be finalized by close of business June 16, 1989. It is, therefore, recommended that the Council and Commission approve an agreement with Miller and Schroeder Pinancia1, Inc., for investment banking services subject to the final agreement being approved as to form and legal content by the City Attorney and Agency Counsel and signed by Miller and Schroeder Pinancia1, Inc. 1776R/SHD/mv '. o o o '. o o 1 2 RESOLUTION NO.
