Tax Exempt Bond Allocation 17 The Developer is requesting the City to issue tax-exempt conduit revenue bonds 18 in the principal amount not to exceed $37,500,000, to assist in constructing the 19 development. These bonds do not create any risk for the City, since they are 20 revenue bonds and are paid by project revenues. In addition, the bond amount 21 does not affect the City's or HRA's debt limits. 22 The developer will be required to pay the City a fee in the amount of one (1) percent of the principal amount of the bonds, in accordance with the City's 25 Conduit Financing Policy and the HRA will be required to hold a public hearing 26 on the issuance of these bonds as required by State Statute. 28 4.
