SECTION V. REIMBURSEMENT EXPENDITURES.
5.01 REGULATIONS.
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 18 months (or
three years, if the reimbursement bond issue
qualifies for the "smaller 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 service 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.
5.02. Prior Expenditures.
Other than ( i ) expenditures to be paid or reimbursed from
sources other than the Bonds, (ii) expenditures permitted
to be reimbursed under the transitional provision

contained in Section 1.150-2(j)(2) of the Regulations,
(iii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures
within the meaning of Section 1.150-2(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 Improvements have been paid by
the City before the date 60 days before the date of
adoption of this resolution.
5.03. Declaration of Intent.
The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures
made for costs of the Improvements out of the proceeds of
Bonds in an estimated maximum aggregate principal amount
of $209,000.00 after the date of payment of all or a
portion of the costs of the Improvements. All reimbursed
expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost of
issuance of the Bonds or other expenditures eligible for
reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the
Regulations.
5.04. 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-
term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent
financing for the expenditures related to the
Improvements, 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.
5.05. Reimbursement Allocations.
The City's financial officer 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 reimburse
the source of temporary financing used by the City to
make prior payment of the costs of the Improvements.
Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the
official books and records of the City maintained for the
Bonds or the Improvements and shall specifically identify
the actual original expenditure being reimbursed.
