2011-04-08 Authorization the use of excess bond preceeds -2008-BRESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EXCESS BOND PROCEEDS RESOLUTION 2011-Oa-08 The issuance of general obligation indebtedness by Pittsylvania County, Virginia (the "County") in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $70,000,000 to finance the renovation of four high schools, including without limitation, new heating and air conditioning systems and roofs (collectively, the "Projects"), was approved by the qualified voters of the County at an election held on November 6, 2007. On December 20, 2007, the County issued $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of such general obligation indebtedness to finance a portion of the costs of the Projects. Pursuant to a Bond Resolution adopted on September 16, 2008 (the "Bond Resolution") and a Bond Purchase Agreement entered into on October 3, 2008 (the "Sale Date"), the County issued, on October 30, 2008, the remaining $60,000,000 of the voter-approved general obligation indebtedness to finance the remaining costs of the Projects, such indebtedness being the $20,000,000 General Obligation School Note, Series 2008A (the "Note"} and the $40,000,000 General Obligation School Bonds, Series 20088 (the "Bonds"). The County had estimated the costs of the Projects using historical comparisons and other available data, including costs associated with the renovation of several middle schools, which had previously been financed with the proceeds of bonds approved at a referendum. Immediately after the adoption of the Bond Resolution and during the time that the Note and Bonds were being offered for sale to the public, a significant financial crisis impacted the economy, the banking industry and the municipal marketplace. After the Sale Date, the County hid the construction contracts for the Projects (the "Construction Bids"). Due to the economic conditions then affecting the country, including the construction industry, the Construction Bids received were considerably lower than the cost estimates anticipated at the time of the adoption of the Bond Resolution and the sale of the Note and the Bonds. As construction has progressed, change orders and other additional costs have not been significant, thereby resulting in considerable excess proceeds and investment earnings thereon (the "Excess Proceeds"). Under the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unexpected sale or investment proceeds of a bond issue may be allocated to pay principal and interest on such issue without compliance with the normal rules precluding such application of the same. The Board of Supervisors of the County (the "Board") desires to use the Excess Proceeds to pay debt service on the Bonds. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VIRGINIA: Section 1. Authorization of Use of Excess Proceeds. The Board hereby authorizes the use of the Excess Proceeds to make the debt service payments at the times and in the amounts reflected in the "Revised Bond Payoff Cash Flows Prepared for Pittsylvania County, Virginia" dated April 13, 2011, prepared by Davenport & Company LLC and provided to the Board herewith. Section 2. Actions of County Officials. All actions of the Supervisors, officers, staff, and agents of the County in conformity with the purposes and intent of this Resolution and in furtherance of the contemplated use of the Excess Proceeds are approved and confirmed. The officers and staff of the County are authorized and directed to execute and deliver all certificates and instruments and to take all such further action as may be considered necessary or desirable in connection with the contemplated use of the Excess Proceeds. Section 3. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
