NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana, to wit: Section 1 Passage of Resolution of Intention. This Commission, on February 7, 2023, adopted the DocuSign Envelope ID: A022A845-5FC0-4F16-9DD4-A04D8822762D Resolution 5465 – Creation of SID 778 Page 2 of 3 Resolution of Intention, pursuant to which this Commission declared its intention to create the District, under Montana Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 12, Parts 41 and 42, as amended, for the purpose of financing costs of certain local improvements within the District described generally therein (the "Improvements"), and paying costs incidental thereto, including costs associated with the creation and administration of the District, and the funding of a Loan from the City's Special Improvement District Revolving Fund (the "Loan"). Section 2 Notice of Passage of the Resolution of Intent and Public Hearing on Protests. Notice of passage of the Resolution of Intention was duly published and mailed in all respects in accordance with law, and on March 7 and March 21, 2023, this Commission conducted a public hearing on written protests submitted by property owners against the creation of the District and the making of the Improvements. The public hearing occurred on the date of the first regular meeting of the Commission following the expiration of the period ended 15 days after the first date of publication of the notice of passage of the Resolution of Intention (the ''Protest Period"). Section 3 Protests. Within the Protest Period, 1 protest was filed with the City Clerk by the property owners of one parcel, representing 7.85 percent of the total costs of the Improvements to be assessed against properties in the District, as proposed. Section 4 Creation of the District; Insufficiency of Protests. The Commission determines the District is hereby created on the terms and conditions set forth herein and otherwise in accordance with the Resolution of Intention, as modified hereby. The protests against the creation of the District or the making of the Improvements filed during the Protest Period are hereby found to be insufficient. The findings and determinations made in the Resolution of Intention, including, without limitation, those relating to benefits conferred, costs associated with the borrowing of funds from the City's special improvement district revolving fund, and for the creation and administration of the District, are hereby ratified and confirmed. Section 5 Reimbursement Expenditures. 5.01. Declaration of Intent. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for costs of the Improvements out of the proceeds of the Loan from the City's special improvement district revolving loan fund in an estimated maximum aggregate principal amount of $168,064 after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs of the Improvements. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost of issuance of the Loan, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement. The Commission intends to assess the District to reimburse the special improvement district revolving loan fund in an amount equal to the principal of the loan of $168,064 to the District plus interest at approximately 3.5% annually, which is the current Short Term Investment Pool rate minus .5%. Over a 20-year term of the Loan from the revolving fund to the District, interest earnings of up to $68,500 are estimated to be paid DocuSign Envelope ID: A022A845-5FC0-4F16-9DD4-A04D8822762D Resolution 5465 – Creation of SID 778 Page 2 of 3 from the District property owners and deposited to the special improvement district revolving fund. In addition to reimbursing the revolving fund on interest the revolving fund would otherwise earn, these interest earnings are intended to satisfy any revolving fund contribution from the district that may be required under 7-12-4222(l)(b), MCA. 5.02. Budgetary Matters. 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 expenditures related to the Improvements, other than pursuant to the Loan from the City's special improvement district revolving loan fund. 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. 5.03. Reimbursement Allocations. The City's financial officer shall be responsible for making the "reimbursement allocations" described in the Resolution of Intention being generally the transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Loan to reimburse the source of temporary financing used by the City to make prior payment of the costs of the Improvements. Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained for the Loan or the Improvements and shall specifically identify the actual original expenditure being reimbursed.
