REPORT TO: Mayor Kennedy and City Council Members
FROM: Array Robertson, Finance Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Sewer Reimbursement Resolution
MEETING BATE: June 21, 2004
BACKGROUND: The City has determined that we can save money by borrowing from the
Department of Natural Resources (DNRC) rather than the traditional Sewer Revenue Bond.
Since we did not except a bid on the sewer bonds we are delayed in getting our financing in
place. In order to cover the expenses which we have already paid (engineering inspection
services) with the proceeds from DNRC we need to adopt a reimbursement resolution. We have
adopted reimbursement resolutions in the past as it is common practice to want to include the
preliminary costs associated with a project in the financing
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Reimbursement Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES: At Council 's discretion.

RESOLUTION NO.4900
RESOLUTION RELATING TO FINANCING OF CERTAIN PROPOSED PROJECTS;
ESTABLISHING COMPLIANCE WITH REIMBURSEMENT BOND REGULATIONS
UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Kalispell, Montana (the "City"), as
follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01 The United States Department of Treasury has promulgated final regulations
governing the use of proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, all or a portion of which are to be used to
reimburse the City for project expenditures paid by the City prior to the date of issuance of such
bonds. Those regulations (Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2) (the "Regulations") require
that the City adopt a statement of official intent to reimburse an original expenditure not later
than 60 days after payment of the original expenditure. The Regulations also generally require
that the bonds be issued and the reimbursement allocation made from the proceeds of the bonds
within IS months (or three years, if the reimbursement bond issue qualifies for the "small issuer"
exception from the arbitrage rebate requirement) after the later of (i) the date the expenditure is
paid or (ii) the date the project is placed in sen�ice or abandoned, but (unless the issue qualifies
for the "small issuer" exception from the arbitrage rebate requirement) in no event more than
three years after the date the expenditure is paid. The Regulations generally permit
reimbursement of capital expenditures and costs of issuance of the bonds.
1.02 The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations with respect to
certain projects hereinafter identified.
Section 2. Official Intent Declaration.
2.01 The City proposes to undertake certain projects, which projects and the estimated
costs thereof are generally described on Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated herein
and made a part hereof (the "Projects").
2.02 Other than (i) expenditures to be paid or reimbursed from sources other than the
Bonds (as hereinafter defined), (ii) expenditures permitted to be reimbursed under the
transitional provision contained in Section 1.150-20)(2) of the Regulations, (iii) expenditures
constituting preliminary expenditures within the meaning of Section 1. 1 50-2(f)(2) of the
Regulations, or (iv) expenditures in a "de minimus" amount (as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(1)
of the Regulations), no expenditures for the Projects have heretofore been paid by the City and
no expenditures will be paid by the City until after the date of this Resolution, except that the
City has made certain construction management expenditures in the amount of approximately
$79,000, $67,000 of which have been paid not more that 60 days prior to the date hereof and
$12,000 of which fall within the exception for expenditures in a "de minimus" amount.
2.03 The City reasonably expects to reimburse some or all of the expenditures made
for costs of the Projects out of the proceeds of debt in an estimated maximum aggregate principal
amount of $1,600,000 (the "Bonds") after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs of
the Projects. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost of issuance of the
Bonds or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1. 1 50-2(d)(3) of the
Regulations.
Section 3. 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 -tern basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing
for the expenditures related to the Projects, other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. 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.
Section 4. Reimbursement Allocations. The City Finance Director shall be
responsible for making the "reimbursement allocations" described in the Regulations, being
generally the transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Bonds to reirnburse the source
of temporary financing used by the City to make prior payment of the costs of the Projects. Each
allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained
for the Bonds or the Projects and shall specifically identify the actual original expenditure being
reimbursed.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 16TH DAY OF TUNE, 2004.
