- The term “engaging in business” means commencing, conducting, or continuing in business, and the exercise of corporate or franchise powers, as well as liquidating a business when the liquidators thereof hold themselves out to the public as conducting such business.
- This section sets forth examples of activities that constitute engaging in business in the City and establishes safe harbors for certain of those activities so that a person who meets the criteria may engage in de minimus business activities in the City without having to pay a business license fee. The activities listed in this section are illustrative only and are not intended to narrow the definition of “engaging in business” in subsection 1. If an activity is not listed, whether it constitutes engaging in business in the City shall be determined by considering all the facts and circumstances and applicable law.

Bidders may bid a net discount not to exceed 1% of the par value of the bonds. The bonds will bear interest at a rate or rates not to exceed 5% (the exact interest rate or rates will be determined by bidding). Interest will be payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2020. Interest will be calculated on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Said bonds will be dated as of the date of delivery of the bonds, will be in minimum denominations of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000 thereafter and will mature semiannually on January 1 and July 1 on the dates and in the amounts as provided by the City at least 24 hours prior to the time of the sale.
If a potential bidder has questions related to the City, the financing or submission of bids, questions should be submitted by email to the addresses above no later than two days before sale by 11:30 a.m. (EDT). (The sale is anticipated to occur on July 11, 2019). To the best of the City’s ability, all questions will be addressed by the City and sent to potential bidders no later than two days prior to sale by 5:00 p.m. (EDT time). Additionally, upon request, the written responses will be emailed to any other interested bidder. Bidders should review this notice and submit any questions in advance of this deadline to submit questions.
All or a portion of the bonds may be issued as one or more term bonds, upon election of the successful bidder. Such term bonds shall have a stated maturity or maturities of January 1 or July 1, in the years as determined by the successful bidder through the final maturity as described above for the bonds. The term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption and final payment(s) at maturity at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on dates consistent with the schedule provided.
The bonds of this issue maturing on or after January 1, 2028 are redeemable at the option of the City on August 1, 2027, or any date thereafter, on thirty (30) days’ notice, in whole or in part, in the order of maturity as determined by the City and by lot within a maturity, at face value, with no premium, plus in each case accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
Principal is payable at the office of a registrar and paying agent to be designated by the City. Interest shall be paid by check mailed to the registered owners or by wire transfer to depositories. The bonds will be issued in fully registered form.
Each bid must be for all of said bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest in multiples of 1/8 or 1/100 of 1%. Any bids specifying two or more interest rates shall also specify the amount and maturities of the bonds bearing each rate, but all bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same single interest rate. The rate on any maturity shall be equal to or greater than the rate on the immediately preceding maturity. The award will be made to the best bidder complying with the terms of sale and offering the lowest net interest cost to the City, to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the bonds to their maturities and adding thereto the discount bid, if any, and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the net dollar interest cost to final maturity and the net effective average interest rate on the entire issue. No conditional bid or bids for less than 99% of the par value of the bonds will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. In the event no satisfactory bids are received at the time of the sale, the sale will be continued from day to day thereafter, without further advertisement for a period of thirty (30) days during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the City than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.
Each bid must be on a customary bid form which shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed to the undersigned ClerkTreasurer and marked “Bid for City of Scottsburg Waterworks Revenue Bonds of 2019.” The winning bidder will be notified and instructed to submit a good faith deposit which may consist of either a certified or cashier’s check or a wire transfer in the amount of $11,000 (“Deposit”). If a check is submitted, it shall be drawn on a bank or trust company which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and shall be submitted to the City (or shall wire transfer such amount as instructed by the City) not later than 3:30 p.m. (Scottsburg time) on the next business day following the award. In either case, the Deposit shall be payable to the “City of Scottsburg, Indiana,” and shall be held as a guaranty of the performance of the bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the successful bidder. In the event the successful bidder fails to honor its accepted bid, the Deposit will be retained by the City. The successful bidder will be required to make payment for such bonds in Federal Reserve funds or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the bonds within five days after being notified that the bonds are ready for delivery, at such bank in the City of Indianapolis, Indiana, or the City, as the purchaser shall designate, or at such other location which may be mutually agreed to by the City and such bidder. It is anticipated that the bonds will be ready for delivery within thirty days after the date of the sale and if not ready for delivery within forty-five days after the sale date, the purchaser shall be entitled to rescind the sale and obtain the return of the Deposit. The successful bidder will be required to sign an investment letter, the proposed form of which can be obtained from the City’s municipal advisor. The opinion of Ice Miller LLP, Bond Counsel of Indianapolis, Indiana, approving the legality of the bonds, together with a transcript of the bond proceedings, and closing certificates in the usual form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the City.
All provisions of the term sheet of the City for the bonds are incorporated herein. As set forth in the term sheet, the winning bidder agrees by submission of its bid to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the bonds under the terms outlined therein and shall execute and deliver to the City at closing an “issue price” certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the winning bidder, the City and Bond Counsel.
The bonds may be issued, at the option of the successful bidder, by means of a book-entry-only system with no physical distribution of bond certificates made to the public. In this case, one bond certificate for each maturity will be issued to and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), and immobilized in its custody. The successful bidder, as a condition of delivery of the bonds, shall be required to deposit the bond certificates with DTC, registered in the name of Cede & Co., nominee of DTC.
CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder therefor to accept delivery of and pay for the bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the City or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP identification numbers on the bonds shall be paid for by the City; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the successful bidder. The successful bidder will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the purchase of the bonds.
The bonds are being issued under the provisions of IC 8-1.5 for the purpose of providing funds to be applied on the costs of the current refunding of certain outstanding Waterworks Bond Anticipation Notes of 2018 of the City. The bonds will be payable solely out of a special fund from the net revenues of the waterworks of the City. In the opinion of bond counsel, under the federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings existing on this date, the interest on the bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
The City has outstanding certain Waterworks Refunding Revenue Bonds of 2016, dated April 19, 2016, now outstanding in the amount of $2,170,000 and maturing semiannually over a period ending July 1, 2036 (“Outstanding Bonds”). The bonds now being offered will rank on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds. The City has reserved the right to issue additional bonds ranking on a parity with the bonds now being offered, upon certain terms and conditions specifically set forth in the ordinance authorizing issuance of the bonds.
The bonds are subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as in effect on the date of their issuance (“Code”) which imposes limitations on the issuance of obligations like the bonds under federal tax law. The City has covenanted to comply with those limitations to the extent required to preserve the exclusion of interest on the bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has designated the bonds for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code to qualify for the $10,000,000 annual exception from the 100% disallowance, in the case of banks and other financial institutions, of the deduction for interest expense allocable to tax-exempt obligations.
The City has not prepared an official statement, but further information relative to the bonds and the City may be obtained upon application to the Municipal Advisor, Baker Tilley Municipal Advisors, LLC, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240. The successful bidder will be required to sign an investment letter addressed to the City to the effect that it is a sophisticated investor and understands the terms of and security for the bonds.

If a financial surety bond is used, it must be from an insurance company. In either case, the Deposit must be submitted to the County or its Financial Advisor prior to the Sale Time in order to qualify to bid and shall be made payable to “Jackson County, Indiana,” to be held uncashed in the case of a check or not drawn upon in the case of a financial surety bond as a guarantee of the good faith of the bidder. The checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned immediately following the award of the 2019 Bonds. No interest will be allowed on any checks. If the 2019 Bonds are awarded to a bidder who has submitted a financial surety bond to the County, then such bidder must submit its Deposit to the County in the form of a certified or cashier’s check (or a wire transfer consisting of immediately available funds to the County as instructed by the financial advisor on behalf of the County) not later than 3:30 p.m. (local time) on the next business day following the award by the County. If such check or wire transfer is not received by that time, the financial surety bond may be drawn upon by the County to satisfy the Deposit requirements.
In the event the bidder to whom the 2019 Bonds are awarded shall fail or refuse to comply with the provisions of the bid and this notice, such Deposit shall become the property of the County and shall be taken and considered as liquidated damages of the County on account of such failure or refusal.
The successful bidder will be required to make payment for the 2019 Bonds in Federal Reserve or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the 2019 Bonds within five (5) days after being notified that the 2019 Bonds are ready for delivery, at a bank designated by the County.

The 2019 Bonds will be ready for delivery within sixty (60) days after the date on which the award is made, if not deliverable within that period, the successful bidder will be entitled to rescind the sale and the good faith check will be returned. Any notice of rescission must be in writing. At the request of the County, the successful bidder shall furnish to the County, simultaneously with or before delivery of the 2019 Bonds, a certificate in form satisfactory to the County regarding the price at which a substantial amount of 2019 Bonds of each maturity was re-offered to the public, if applicable.

In the event that the County fails to receive a bid on the Bonds from at least three Underwriters (as hereinafter defined), the County shall so advise the successful bidder for the Bonds (such successful bidder, the “Purchaser”). If the Purchaser is an Underwriter intending to resell all or any portion of the Bonds to the Public (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser must, prior to acceptance of its bid by the County, either (i) agree in writing to neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price for each maturity of Bonds during the Holding Period (as hereinafter defined) for any maturity of the Bonds or (ii) request in writing that the County treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis.
