of holding such meeting and the date or dates of publishing and mailing such notice shall be determined by the city, in its discretion. The actual receipt by any bondholder of notice of any such meeting shall not be a condition precedent to the holding of such meeting, and failure to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings thereat. A certificate by the Clerk, approved by resolution of the City Council, that the meeting has been called and that notice thereof has been given as herein provided shall be conclusive as against all parties and it shall not be open to any bondholder to show that he failed to receive notice of such meeting. (c) Voting Qualifications. Any bondholder may, prior to any such meeting~, deliver his bond or bonds to any agency designated by the city for the purpose, and shall thereupon be entitled to receive an appropriate receipt for the bond or bonds so deposited, calling for the redelivery of such bond or bonds at any time after the meeting. The Clerk shall prepare and deliver to the chairman of the meeting a list of the names and addresses of the registered owners of bonds, with a statement of the maturities and serial numbers of the bonds held and deposited by each of such bondholders, and no bondholder shall be entitled to vote at such meeting unless his name appears upon such list or unless he shall present his bond or bonds at the meeting or a certificate of deposit thereof, satisfactory to the city, executed by a bank or trust company. No bondholder shall be permitted to vote with respect to a larger aggregate principal amount of bonds than is set against his name on such list, unless he shall produce the bonds upon which he desires to vote, or a certificate of deposit thereof as above provided. (d) Issuer-owned Bonds. The city covenants that it will present at the meeting a certifi- cate, signed and verified by one member of the City Council and by the Director of Finance stating the maturities and serial numbers of all bonds owned by, or held for account of, the city, directly or indirectly. No person shall be permitted at the meeting to vote or consent with respect to any bond appearing upon such certificate, or any bond which it shall be established at or prior to the meeting is owned by the city, directly or indirectly, and no such bond (in this resolution referred to as "issuer-owned bond") shall be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. (e) Quorum and Procedure. A representation of at least sixty-six per cent (66%) in aggregate principal amount of the bonds then outstanding (exclusive of issuer-owned bonds) shall be necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of bondholders, but less than a quorum may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice, whether such adjournment shall have been had by a quorum or by less than a quorum. The city shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, and the meeting shall be organized by the election of a permanent chairman and a secretary. At any meeting each bondholder shall be entitled to one vote for every $1,000 principal amount of bonds with respect to which he shall be entitled to vote as aforesaid, and such vote may be given in person or by proxy duly appointed by an instrument in writing presented at the meeting. The city, by its duly authorized repre- sentative, may attend any meeting of the bondholders, but shall not be required to do so. (f) Vote Required. At any such meeting held as aforesaid there shall be submitted for the consideration and action of the bondholders a statement of proposed action, consent to which is desired, and if such action shall be consented to and approved by bondholders holding at least sixty-six per cent (66%) in aggregate amount of the bonds then outstanding (exclusive of issuer-owned bonds) the chairman and secretary of the meeting shall so certify in writing to the city, and such certificate shall constitute complete evidence of consent of bondholders under the provisions of this resolution.
