b.13 JOURNAL ENTRY

In the matter of authorizing Issuance of not to exceed)$2,150,000 Courthouse renovation project bond )Anticipation notes, series 2018, for the purpose of )Paying the costs of renovating the county courthouse )Together with all necessary appurtenances thereto )

Commissioner Kokoski asked County Administrator Cordes to explain the following resolutions. Mr. Cordes said he had a rating call yesterday and went well, these resolution are just rerolling notes before permanent finance. The county did not receive a down grad with the great recession because the county was informing bond council/rating agency consistently with strategy and hitting the targets. A permanent decision will have to be made by the end of the year for the train station and the agreement with Norfolk Southern is still in discussions and has nothing to do with bathrooms. The sewer notes are a revenue assessment. JFS will be reimbursed by state, some additional problems arose in the parking lots and will solve the water issue finally with new footer tiles. Commissioner Kokoski said she would hope that permanent finance would be sooner than later since rates will be increasing. Mr. Cordes said the bond market is positive and the projects are not quite ready to be finalized so it will be early next year and will also look into doing in house with the Treasurer like we did previous with our sewers. The carryover is posting trend with about $2.-2.5 million moving over.

Following resolutions were adopted:

JOURNAL ENTRY

Good Deeds presented by Recorder Judy Nedwick and Probate Judge Walther.Judge Walther said him and Recorder Nedwick patterned this program after Geauga County and then started to educate the people in the

communities how they need to hold proper titles to their homes rather than coming to Probate. Recorder Nedwick said this saves lots of time, money and emotional stress. The first meeting was held at Brookside High School in January and had about 40 people, then JVS in May and LCCC the end of last month. There are 6-8 attorneys that volunteer their time to see people and how to hold the title. They thanked the schools for allowing them to have this presentation and look forward to doing more and we are giving back to the community. Judge Walther said that you need to have your deed in joint survivorship, this way it would transfer to either part on the deed rather than going through Probate and just because 2 peoples names are on the deed now, does not mean joint survivorship. Recorder Nedwick said the fee to record a new title is $28. Judge Walther said the Bar Association is doing affidavit of transfer on death and joint survivorship for a cost of $100 each. A filing fee with Probate is $300. On an estate of $200,000 maximum attorney fees and fiduciary fees would cost around $17,328. He also stated that using his parents as an example, his dad passed about 4 years ago but mom wanted to do a transfer on death to her children and stated to whom that would beCommissioner Kokoski asked how many were at LCCC. Judge said around 100 and many saw the attorneys which there were 7 that day, some even became their clients. Commissioner Kalo said this is a great program. Commissioner Kokoski said many do not think about this until it is too late. Commissioner Kokoski asked what this program has done or what they receive. Recorder Nedwick said it is an education program for the residents and it helps the public. Judge said we are bringing the government to the people. Commissioner Kalo said the press should have good coverage on this and noted that he saw it in the elevators.

The Paying Agent and Registrar shall furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by the Paying Agent and Registrar, to any other paying agents for the Notes and to this Board of County Commissioners.

The County has heretofore levied and covenants that it shall continue to collect the Sales Taxes for so long as the Notes are outstanding. The County hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Notes are outstanding, it shall not suffer the repeal, amendment or any other change in this Resolution, or the proceedings authorizing the Sales Tax, that in any way materially and adversely affects or impairs (a) the sufficiency of the Sales Tax Receipts levied and collected or otherwise available for the payment of the Notes or (b) the pledge or the application of the Sales Tax Receipts to the payment of the Notes.

The Notes do not constitute a debt or obligation of the State or a general obligation debt, or a pledge of the full faith and credit, of the County, or any other political subdivision of the State, and the holders or owners of the Notes have no right to have taxes levied by the general assembly or property taxes levied by the taxing authority of any political subdivision of the State, including the taxing authority of the County, for the payment of principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Notes. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the County to use or apply to the payment of principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Notes any funds or revenues from any source other than Sales Tax Receipts. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to prohibit the County, of its own volition, from using, to the extent that it is authorized by law to do so, any other resources for the fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Resolution or of the Notes.

If the County shall pay or cause to be paid and discharged the Notes, the covenants, agreements and other obligations of the County hereunder and in the Notes shall be discharged and satisfied. The County shall be considered to have caused a Note to be paid and discharged if the County has placed in escrow, and pledged for the payment of debt charges on such Note, money or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States, or a combination of those obligations, determined by an independent firm experienced in making such determinations to be sufficient, with the interest or other investment income accruing on those direct or guaranteed obligations, for the payment of debt charges on that Note. For purposes of this Section, “direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed as to payment by the United States” includes rights to receive payment or portions of payments of the principal of or interest or other investment income on those obligations, and other obligations fully secured as to payment by those obligations and the interest or other investment income on those obligations.

SECTION 10. The Sales Tax Bond Fund has previously been created by a Resolution of this Board of County Commissioners and is maintained by the Fiscal Officer in the custody of the County. The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized to maintain, or permit the maintenance of, such separate accounts in that Fund, and such separate subaccounts in any account, as is determined to be in the best interest of the County. Sales Tax Receipts shall be deposited in the Sales Tax Bond Fund on or prior to each date interest or premium on, or principal of, the Notes is payable, in an amount sufficient to pay such interest, premium and/or principal on the Notes on such date. Any monies on deposit in the Sales Tax Bond Fund shall be invested to the extent permitted by law.

The County hereby covenants, subject and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State, to appropriate, in each year while the Notes are outstanding, Sales Tax Receipts required to pay the principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Notes in that year. Further, this Board will give effect to such appropriations in all resolutions it passes thereafter in that year appropriating money for expenditure and encumbrance and limit the other appropriations of Sales Tax Receipts in that year to the amount available after deducting the amount required to pay the principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Notes and on any Parity Obligations in that year. If the County Administrator or Budget Director determines it to be in the best interest of and financial advantages to the County, such officer may agree in the Certificate of Award to the creation and maintenance of a reasonable reserve in the Sales Tax Bond Fund or a schedule of periodic deposits of Sales Tax Receipts in the Sales Tax Bond Fund to provide additional security for payment of debt charges on the Notes.

Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the County to use or apply to the payment of debt charges on the Notes any funds or revenues from any source other than Sales Tax Receipts. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to prohibit the County, of its own volition, from using, to the extent that it is authorized by law to do so, any other resources for the fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Resolution or of the Notes.

SECTION 11. The County has issued, and may in the future issue, Parity Obligations. The County Administrator or Budget Director may agree in the Certificate of Award to reasonable limits on the future issuance of Parity Obligations, consistent with that officer’s determination of the best interest of and financial advantages to the County. However, such limits shall not impose a coverage requirement for annual Sales Tax Receipts that is greater than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the maximum annual debt charges required to be paid in any succeeding calendar year on the Notes and all Parity Obligations to be outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Parity Obligations. For bond anticipation notes such as the Notes, the debt service on the bonds anticipated by the notes shall be used in calculating compliance with any such agreement. Bond anticipation notes being renewed or refunded and bonds being refunded shall be excluded from this calculation.


SECTION 13. That this Board of County Commissioners hereby authorizes preparation of preliminary and final drafts of a preliminary official statement deemed final for purposes of the Rule and an official statement relative to the sale of the Notes, if requested by the Original Purchaser, and copies thereof are hereby authorized to be furnished to the Original Purchaser for resale distribution. This official statement is hereby authorized to be signed by the County Commissioners, the Fiscal Officer, the County Administrator and/or the Budget Director.

SECTION 14. That this Board of County Commissioners hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Notes (the “Continuing Disclosure

569

Resolution No. 18-656 cont. October 10, 2018Certificate”) in connection with the issuance of the Notes. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Notes; however, any holder of the Notes may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause this Board of County Commissioners to comply with its obligations under this section and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

SECTION 15. That this Board of County Commissioners, for and on behalf of this County, hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Notes hereby authorized in such manner and to such extent, if any, and take such other actions as may be necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the debt is incurred, so that they will not constitute obligations the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation or “arbitrage bonds” under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Code, and the regulations prescribed thereunder. The Fiscal Officer or any other officer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Notes is authorized and directed to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of this County, on the date of delivery of the Notes for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to the use of the proceeds thereof and the provisions of said Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 and regulations thereunder. The members of this Board of County Commissioners, the Fiscal Officer, the County Administrator, the Budget Director, the County Treasurer, the County Prosecuting Attorney, the Clerk of the Board and other County officials, as appropriate, each are authorized and directed to sign any transcript certificates, financial statements and other documents and instruments and to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Resolution.
