RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of amendments to City Secretary
Contract Nos. 37196, 37197, 37198, and 37239 with First Southwest Asset Management, Inc., First
Southwest Company, and Estrada Hinojosa & Company, Inc., to provide for additional one-year
renewals.
DISCUSSION:
On July 24, 2007, the City Council approved M&C C-22260, which authorized execution of necessary
and related Agreements for financial advisory, continuing disclosure, and arbitrage services, with
each Agreement having an initial three-year term and two, one-year renewal options. In accordance
with that authority, the City entered into City Secretary Contract Nos. 37196 (with First Southwest
Asset Management, Inc.) 37197 (with First Southwest Company), 37198 (with FSC Disclosure
Services, a division of First Southwest Company), and 37239 (with Estrada Hinojosa & Company,
Inc).
The second renewal period for each of those Agreements will expire July 31, 2012. Approval of this
Mayor and Council Communication would authorize the City Manager to amend those Agreements to
provide for an additional one-year renewal of each contract. Renewing the Agreements for an
additional year will ensure continuity as the City enters its traditional debt-issuance season. Staff will
use this additional year to put these services out for bid and return to Council at a later date for
approval of new Agreements.
These companies have satisfactorily served as the City's co-financial advisors for well over a decade.
Staff is recommending that the City continue its relationships with First Southwest Company as its
lead financial advisor and Estrada Hinojosa, a M/WBE firm, as co-financial advisor and with First
Southwest's disclosure subsidiary and arbitrage affiliate.
During the renewal period all other contractual terms, including the fee structure, would remain the
same as they are in the existing Agreements.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds required to pay financial advisory
fees will be available from proceeds of bond sales, appropriate debt service funds, and/or appropriate
operating funds.
