TO THE TAXPAYERS AND CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF RAINBOW CITY, ALABAMA:
Notice is hereby given to you that a Petition has been filed in the Court under the provisions of the Code of Alabama §§6-6-750 et seq.

The proceeds of said Series 2025 Warrant are to be used for the purposes of financing in whole or in part (a) the acquisition, installation and equipping of new improvements at the City’s recreational facilities known as the Vivian Lee Maddox Sports Complex located at 4573 Rainbow Drive, Rainbow City, Alabama, specifically including artificial turf installation and lighting improvements; and/or (b) the acquisition, installation and construction of waterworks and sewer utility improvements to increase capacity and distribution lines to the City’s industrial park located at Lumley Road (commonly known as “Commerce Park”) with said utility improvements expected to be owned by The Utilities Board of the Rainbow City; and/or (c) other capital improvements which the City deems advisable, all of which will be owned and operated by the City (except for the water and sewer utility improvements which are expected to be owned and operated by The Utilities Board of the City of Rainbow City) and located within the City. The foregoing improvements (as described above) are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Series 2025 Improvements”). A portion of the proceeds of the Series 2025 Warrant are also expected to pay costs of issuance of the Warrant.
The Court has issued an order against the taxpayers and citizens of the City requiring them to show cause, if any they have, at a hearing of said Petition to be held at the Etowah County Judicial Building located at 801 Forrest Avenue, Gadsden, Alabama in Judge Steen’s courtroom (located on 2nd Floor of said building), on the 1st day of May, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., why the Series 2025 Warrant, the means provided for the payment of the Series 2025 Warrant, including the pledge of any revenues in favor thereof, the use of the proceeds of the Series 2025 Warrant, and all provisions, covenants and agreements for the benefit of the said Series 2025 Warrant referred to in said Petition should not be validated and confirmed.
You are therefore required at the time and place hereinabove set forth to show cause, if any you have, why the said Series 2025 Warrant, the means provided for the payment of the Series 2025 Warrant, the use of the proceeds of the Series 2025 Warrant, and the pledge of any revenues in favor thereof, and all covenants, agreements and provisions referred to in said Petition should not be validated and confirmed.
