Ordinance related to the procurement of such insurance and executing such instrument, documents and agreements as may be necessary with respect thereto, if it is determined by such officers that the City procuring such insurance would be financially desirable and advantageous and all other matters relating to the issuance, sale, and delivery of the Certificates, all of which shall be specified in the Pricing Certificate; provided that (i) the price to be paid for one or more series of the Certificates shall not be less than 90% of the aggregate original principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon from its date to its delivery, and (ii) no series of the Certificates shall bear interest at a rate greater than the maximum rate permitted by state law. (c) Method of Sale. To achieve advantageous borrowing costs for the City, each series of the Certificates shall be sold on a negotiated, placement or competitive basis as determined by the Pricing Officer in each Pricing Certificate. In determining whether to sell the Certificates by negotiated, placement or competitive sale, the Pricing Officer shall take into account any material disclosure issues which might exist at the time, the market conditions expected at the time of the sale and any other matters which, in the judgment of the Pricing Officer, might affect the net borrowing costs on the Certificates. If the Pricing Officer determines that a series of the Certificates should be sold at a competitive sale, the Pricing Officer shall cause to be prepared a notice of sale and official statement in such manner as the Pricing Officer deems appropriate, to make the notice of sale and official statement available to those institutions and firms wishing to submit a bid for the Certificates, to receive such bids, and to award the sale of the Certificates to the bidder submitting the best bid in accordance with the provisions of the notice of sale. If the Pricing Officer determines that a series of the Certificates should be sold by a negotiated sale or placement, the Pricing Officer shall designate the placement purchaser or the senior managing underwriter for the Certificates and such additional investment banking firms as the Pricing Officer deems appropriate to assure that the Certificates are sold on the most advantageous terms to the City. The Pricing Officer, acting for and on behalf of the City, is authorized to enter into and carry out a Purchase Agreement or other agreement for the Certificates to be sold by negotiated sale or placement, with the underwriters or placement purchasers at such price, with and subject to such terms as determined by the Pricing Officer pursuant to Section 4(b) above. Each Purchase Agreement or other agreement shall be substantially in the form and substance previously approved by the City in connection with the authorization of waterworks and sewer system debt with such changes as are acceptable to the Pricing Officer. In satisfaction of Section 1201.022(a)(3), Texas Government Code, the City hereby determines that the delegation of the authority to the Pricing Officer to approve the final terms and conditions of each series of the Certificates as set forth in this Ordinance and the decisions made by the Pricing Officer pursuant to such delegated authority and incorporated in each Pricing Certificate will be in the best interests and shall have the same force and effect as if such determination were made by the Pricing Officer and the Pricing Officer is hereby authorized to make and include in each Pricing Certificate an appropriate finding to that effect.
