The City can minimize (although not eliminate) the risk of materially inaccurate public statements if it files current comprehensive disclosure information on EMMA and/or its website in accordance with this Disclosure Policy. In addition, to the extent that the Disclosure Coordinator becomes aware of a materially inaccurate public statement made by an official of the City reasonably accessible to and material to investors, the Disclosure Coordinator shall attempt to have such information publicly corrected. Training The Disclosure Coordinator shall ensure that the members of the City staff involved in the initial or continuing disclosure reporting process and members of the City Council are properly trained to understand and perform their responsibilities. Each City Council member shall participate in a disclosure training session as appropriate. The Disclosure Coordinator shall arrange for disclosure training sessions conducted by counsel qualified to serve as bond counsel and/or disclosure counsel to the City. Such training sessions shall include the City’s disclosure obligations under applicable federal and state securities laws as well as the City’s contractual obligations related to continuing disclosure. The training sessions should also include the disclosure responsibilities and potential liabilities of members of the City’s staff and members of the City Council, and education on this Disclosure Policy. Such training sessions may be conducted using recorded presentations. This Debt Disclosure Policy shall be distributed to each person receiving training at the time they receive their training. Upon the adoption or amendment of this policy, a copy of this policy, as adopted or amended, shall also be distributed to the City Attorney, City Manager, ACM/ASD, each City Council Member, the Disclosure Coordinator and any member of a Financing Group or of the Annual Disclosure Compliance Group.
