Mr. Shillinger read the script prepared by Disclosure Counsel, for Key West International
Airport, as follows: u
The underwriters propose to have the County file a non-obligatory, voluntary summary
notice of a proposed issuance of publicly offered bonds for airport improvements, which
proposal the County's financial advisor supports. The posting would be on the MSRB EMMA
portal where the County already posts certain annual financial information and operating data as
required by its prior public offerings. There would be no cost to the County and the County
would not be obligated to issue the bonds by virtue of making this posting. What this does allow
under rules the underwriters are subject to is to allow the underwriters to start talking to potential
institutional investors about the upcoming issue within the confines of the summary notice,prior
to publication of the preliminary official statement for the issue which is expected to occur in
mid-August, to generate pre-marketing interest and awareness in the volatile and competitive
municipal marketplace. The County's Disclosure Counsel will draft the notice to be approved by
County staff and the County Attorney's Office before it is filed.
