The United States Department of Treasury has promulgated final regulations governing the use of proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, all or a portion of which are to be used to reimburse the City for project expenditures paid by the City prior to the date of issuance of such bonds. Those regulations (Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2) (the “Regulations”) require that the City adopt a statement of official intent to reimburse an original expenditure not later than 60 days after payment of the original expenditure. The Regulations also generally require that bonds be issued and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such bonds within 18 months (or three years, if the reimbursement bond issue qualifies for the “small issuer” exception from the arbitrage rebate requirement) after the later of (i) the date the expenditure is paid or (ii) the date the project is placed in service or abandoned, but (unless the issue qualifies for the “small issuer” exception from the arbitrage rebate requirement) in no event more than three years after the date the expenditure is paid. The Regulations generally permit reimbursement of capital expenditures and costs of issuance of the bonds. 1.01. The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations with respect to certain projects and costs hereinafter identified. DocuSign Envelope ID: A7D6062F-956F-4C88-8A5F-BB5AC4CA48BE 2 Section 2 Official Intent Declaration. 2.01. The City intends to expend funds related to design and construction of facilities infrastructure projects including a City Hall Renovation, and improvements to the Lindley Center and Bogert Pool which not included in the General Obligation Bond approved by voters. 2.02. Other than (i) expenditures to be paid or reimbursed from sources other than the Bonds (as hereinafter defined), (ii) expenditures permitted to be reimbursed under the transitional provision contained in Section 1.150-2(j)(2) of the Regulations, (iii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures within the meaning of Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, or (iv) expenditures in a “de minimus” amount (as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations), no expenditures for the Projects have heretofore been paid by the City and no expenditures will be paid by the City until after the date of this Resolution. 2.03. The City reasonably expects to reimburse some or all of the expenditures made for costs of the Projects out of proceeds of bonds, in one or more series, in an estimated maximum aggregate principal amount of $5 million (the “Bonds”) after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs of the Project. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures or extraordinary working capital expenditures, a cost of issuance of the Bonds or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Regulations. 2.04. As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing for the portion of the Projects expected to be financed, other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. The statement of intent contained in this resolution, therefore, is determined to be consistent with the City’s budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are reasonably foreseeable on the date hereof. 2.05. The City Finance Director shall be responsible for making the “reimbursement allocations” described in the Regulations, being generally the transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse the source of temporary financing used by the City to make prior payment of the costs of the Projects. Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the official books DocuSign Envelope ID: A7D6062F-956F-4C88-8A5F-BB5AC4CA48BE 3 and records of the City maintained for the Bonds or the Projects and shall specifically identify the actual original expenditure being reimbursed.
