97586 - Dick Pavia, Speer Financial, Inc., reported that the low bid of Clayton Brown &
Associates, Inc. and Griffin, Kubik, Stephens & Thompson, Inc. and Kemper
Securities Group, Inc. is a very competitive bid. He reported that this
issuance was insured by AMBAC at an approximate cost of $30,000, which results
in a total issuance savings of approximately $40,000. The City of Waterloo
retained its Baa bond rating by Moodys Investment Services. Even though Moodys
sensed a turnaround in the economy, the tax base has not yet rebounded to
warrant an upgrade. He recommended that the bid of Clayton Brown & Associates,
Inc. be approved.
