Sаlаzаr wоrks fоr IFS, a brоker/dealer. He is hired by the Public Library District in Harvey, Illinois, to underwrite the issuance of a $6 million municipal bond offering intended to finance the expansion and renovation of the district’s library building. The district has never issued bonds before, and its board of trustees and director (a librarian) have no prior experience with the bond-offering process. The district does not hire an adviser to help select an underwriter for the bonds and does not conduct a competitive selection process or consider other underwriters before hiring Salazar and IFS. This job will be Salazar’s first experience serving as a bond underwriter. He discloses this fact to the Harvey Library District and, as a result, agrees to charge the district a reduced fee. As the sole underwriter of the bond offering, Salazar is responsible for marketing and selling the bonds to investors. Despite the fact that the district’s bonds are insured, have an investment-grade rating, and are “bank qualified” (meaning they could be sold to regional or community banks), Salazar has difficulty finding buyers. Investors are confused about the relationship between the Harvey Library District and the City of Harvey, which has a history of regulatory action against it for fraudulent misuse of bond issue proceeds. Although the Harvey Library District is in the same geographic area as the City of Harvey, the district is a sovereign unit of government that is separate from the city and has separate taxing authority, governance, and finance. The regulatory actions against the city are unrelated to the Harvey Library District. Even though the bonds are bank qualified, Salazar does not market the bonds to banks. He also does not contact potential investors until several weeks after the start of the engagement and only a few days before the planned order period. Salazar’s marketing efforts and initial order period are also done before the bond insurance had been confirmed. When Salazar is unable to identify any interested investors before or during the initial order period, he postpones the order period by several days. Eventually, Salazar is able to locate a single buyer, another broker/dealer, which offers to buy the bonds at a price of $115.73 and a 5.05% yield. Although the yield is higher than comparable bonds, Salazar convinces the district to accept the offer. On the same day their offer is accepted, the broker/dealer sells the bonds to a private fund at a price of $116.15 and a 5% yield for a profit of $25,260. The private fund sells the bonds to an investment bank at a price of $122.35 and a 4.3% yield. The investment bank then immediately sells the bonds to six small regional banks at a price of $124.86 and a 4.0% yield. Salazar’s actions are
