NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL QF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, ORDER AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Issuer hereby states its intention and reasonably expects to reimburse Project costs incurred prior to the issuance of the Obligations with proceeds of the Obligations. Exhibit A describes either the general character, type, purpose, and function of the Project, or the fund or account from which Project costs are to be paid and the general functional purpose of the fund or account. SECTION 2. The reasonably expected maximum principal amount of the Obligations is $3,200,000. SECTION 3. Thisresolutionisbeingadoptedonorpriortothedate(the"Expenditures Date or Dates") that the Issuer will expend monies for the portion of the Project cots to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Obligations. SECTION 4. Except as described below, the expected date of issue of the Obligations will be within eighteen months of the later of the Expenditure Date or Dates and the date the Project is placed in service; provided, the reimbursement may not be made more than three years after the original expenditure is paid. For Obligations subject to the small issuer exception of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the internal Revenue Code, the "eighteen-month limit" of the previous sentence is changed to "three years" and the limitation of the previous sentence beginning with ";provided ..... "is not applicable. SECTION 5. Proceeds of the Obligations to be used to reimburse for Project costs are not expected to be used, within one year of reimbursement, directly or indirectly to pay debt service with respect to any obligation (other than to pay current debt service coming due within the next succeeding one year period on any tax-exempt obligation of the Issuer (other than the Obligations)) or to be held as a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund with respect to an obligation of the Issuer or any entity related in any manner to the Issuer, or to reimburse any expenditure that was originally paid with the proceeds of any obligation, or to Resolution 18905 Page 2 replace funds that are or will be used in such manner. SECTION 6. This resolution is consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances of the Issuer, as of the date hereof. No monies from sources other than the obligation issue are, or are reasonably expected to be reserved, or otherwise set aside by the Issuer (or any related party) pursuant to their budget or financial policies with respect to the Project costs on a long-term basis. To the best of our knowledge, this City Council is not aware of the previous adoption of official intents by the Issuer that have been made as a matter of course for the purpose of reimbursing expenditures and for which tax-exempt obligations have not been issued. SECTION 7. The limitations described in Section 3 and Section 4 do not apply to (a) costs of issuance of the Obligations, (b) an amount not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Obligations, or (c) any preliminary expenditures, such as architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction, not in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate issue price of the Obligations that finances the Project for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. SECTION 8. This resolution is adopted as official action of the Issuer in order to comply with Treasury Regulations § 1.150-2 and any other regulations of the Internal Revenue Service relating to the qualification for reimbursement of Issuer expenditures incurred prior to the date of issue of the Obligations, is part of the Issuer's official proceedings, and II ~' will be available for inspection by the general public at the main administrative office of the Issuer. SECTION 9. All the recitals in this Resolution are true and correct and this City Council so finds, determines and represents. Presented by Approved as to form by Resolution 18905 Page 4 EXHIBIT A Description of Project The proposed Animal Shelter project is necessary to provide current and future animal control and pet adoption service needs for the Chula Vista community. The current facility on Otay Valley Road has been determined to be inadequate. The proposed project site, with an estimated cost of $670,000, consists of three parcels totalling 2.84 acres located on the northwest corner of Beyer Way and Fourth Avenue just south of Main Street in the City of Chula Vista. Final facility design and corresponding construction costs have not been determined. The facility is expected to be planned for the Chula Vista population at "build-out" which is estimated to be 277,000 by the year 2030. Population estimates would dictate a facility of at least 13,000 sq. ft. handling an annual pet population of 8,000-10,000. The maximum estimated total cost of such facility is expected not-to-exceed $3.2 million.
