Prepared an Official Statement and a Bond Resolution for the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bonds, Series 1993 (the "Bonds"); 2. Engaged the firms of William Blair 8c Company, The Chicago Corporation, Clayton Brown & Associates, Inc., Rodman 8c Renshaw, Inc., Melvin Securities Corporation, and Smith Mitchell Investment Group, Inc., to assist in marketing the bonds; 3. Contacted the bond rating agencies and the municipal bond insurance companies; and 4. Developed a recommended structure for the bond issue.
