Before selecting an underwriter or selling group for a bond issuance, the executive officer shall consult with the corporation's financial advisor and shall review the transaction to make a recommendation to the board on the method of sale for the bond issue; either by negotiated sale or competitive sale. The board will make the final agency decision on the method of sale, after considering the recommendation of the executive officer. If the board determines that the bond issue is to be made by negotiated sale, the executive officer shall select one or more investment banking firms from the QUL in accordance with the underwriting selection process described in 20 AAC 14.035.
