Baird & Co., Inc. Section 13 -- Designation of Bonds. The Bonds are not designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes set forth in § 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended because the City anticipates issuing more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt obligations" during calendar year 2020. Section 14 -- Discharge of Bond Ordinance. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the owners of the Bonds the total principal and interest due or to become due thereon through maturity, in the manner stipulated therein and in this Bond Ordinance, then the pledges made under this Bond Ordinance, and all covenants, agreements, and other obligations of the City hereunder, shall thereupon cease, terminate, and become void and be discharged and satisfied.
