d.      Stillwater Utilities Authorization trust indenture amendment

SUA Director Dan Blankenship said the proposed amendment would require supermajority to issue debt, meaning 4 of the 5 trustees would have to vote in favor of any debt issued.

City Attorney Dorman added the amendment has an additional exception where the trust issuance of debt would be paid for by some fund other than the trust fund itself.
