NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ISSUANCE
OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS TO THE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS OF
THE CITY OF ATLANTA AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES
NOTICE is hereby given that at 1 p.m. on January 19, 2016, a Public Meeting of the Council of the City of
Atlanta (“Council”) will be held in the Council Chambers on the Second Floor of City Hall, Atlanta, Georgia, at which
time there will be considered and determined by the Council the question of whether or not general obligation bonds
shall be authorized for issuance by the City of Atlanta (“City”) in the following amounts for each of the following
purposes:
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS in the principal amount of $4,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds to
pay, or to be applied or contributed toward, the cost of acquiring a site or sites and constructing and equipping
thereon municipal buildings and related facilities, of renovating, improving, adding to, and equipping existing

connection therewith, and of paying expenses incident thereto.
It is proposed that an ordinance authorizing the issuance of bonds for each of the above purposes will be
considered and acted upon by the Council at such Public Meeting in accordance with the procedure set forth in two
special amendments to the Constitution of the State of Georgia which were ratified at the General Election held on
November 5, 1968, and duly proclaimed by the Governor of the State of Georgia on December 13, 1968 (1968 Ga.
Laws 1582 to 1584, inclusive, and Ga. Laws 1586 to 1587, inclusive), and any person having an interest in the
proposed authorization of such bonds for any of the above purposes may attend such Public Meeting and make
known his or her view or views with respect to the proposed ordinance which will authorize the issuance of such
bonds.
Each of such constitutional amendments provides that in the event that a petition for referendum is filed with
the Municipal Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days after such public hearing, containing the signatures of not less
than five percent (5%) of the registered voters of the City, the Municipal Clerk of the City is required to call an
election, at which time the question of the issuance of the bonds with respect to which the petition was filed shall be
submitted to the vote of the qualified voters of the City; provided however, that the Council, upon the filing of such a
petition for a referendum, may withdraw the proposal from further consideration and decline to issue the bonds with
respect to which the petition was filed.
