The City will issue its Special Improvement District Bonds, in two series, one a taxable Series 2025A Bond (the "Series 2025A Bond") in the maximum principal amount of up to $168,386 (the "Series 2025A Loan"), and the other a Tax Exempt Series 2025B Bond (the "Series 2025B Bond" or the "Series 2025 Tax -Exempt Bond;" and together with the Series 2025A Bond, the "Series 2025 Bonds") in the maximum principal amount of up to $175,000 (the "Series 2025E Loan," and together with the Series 2025A Loan, the "2025 Loans"), and will loan the proceeds of the 2025 Loans to Green Acres Cooperative, Inc.

An advertisement for bids for construction of the Improvements in the District was published by the City, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7-12-4141 of the Act, after which the bids theretofore received were opened and examined. The City, along with officials from the Green Acres Community and its independent third party consultants, subsequently reviewed the bids for the Improvements to the District, and the City, along with input from the Green Acres Community and its independent third party consultants, subsequently awarded the contract for construction of the Improvements in the District to the contractors that were determined to be the lowest bidders for the furnishing of all work and material required for constructing the Improvements in the District. 2.03.
