Explanation:
The City expects to incur significant costs for the development, design, acquisition, construction, improvement, expansion, equipping, installation and/or furnishing of certain municipal improvements (collectively, the “Series 2025 Parking Project”), described as follows to be owned and operated by the City:
1) Land $ 5.0M
2) Design $ 1.8M
3) Construction $18.0M
4) Other eligible related costs $ 1.2M
Total $26.0M
The City has determined that it intends to finance a portion of the cost of the Series 2025 Parking Project with the proceeds of obligations, the interest on which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (the “Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds”).
No costs of the Series 2025 Parking Project were paid more than 60 days prior to the date of this Resolution, other than preliminary expenditures that do not include costs of land acquisition or site preparation or other costs of construction or acquisition of the Series 2025 Parking Project.
The City intends to use proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds (the “Reimbursement Bonds”) to reimburse the City’s Parking Fund for capital expenditures of and/or for costs of issuance of the Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds for the Series 2025 Parking Project, such Reimbursement Bonds to be issued, subject to such terms and conditions as the City shall approve by subsequent resolution, and to be payable solely from legally available Parking Fund Revenue sources. The City anticipates that the maximum principal amount of Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds that will be issued to finance the Series 2025 Parking Project, including Reimbursement Bonds, will not exceed $26,000,000.
Fiscal Impact:
The City may begin incurring eligible expenditures related to the Series 2025 Parking Project prior to the debt financing. To allow reimbursement for those expenditures from the future debt proceeds, the City must comply with IRS regulations and declare that it is the City’s official intent to issue and certify any reimbursement with proceeds will be made by the later of 18 months after the payment of the cost or after the Series 2025 Parking Project is placed in service, but in any event, no later than three years after the date the original expenditure was paid.
