'~Clerk to the Board 27.7.4 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER, NORTH CAROLINA, APPROVING THE INSTALLMENT FINANCING OF THE CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION AND EQUIPPING OF JAIL, LAW ENFORCEMENT, PARKING AND LIBRARY FACILITIES AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the County of New Hanover, North Carolina (the "County"), desires to provide for the construction, renovation and equipping of certain jail, law enforcement, parking and library facilities (collectively, the "Facilities"); and WHEREAS, the Board proposes to finance the cost of the Facilities through an installment financing agreement (the "Contract") with the New Hanover County Financing Corporation, Wilmington, North Carolina (the "Corporation"), obligating the County to repay in installments the amount financed at a fixed annual interest rate of not more than 7% over a term not exceeding 21 years, resulting in a total amount financed not to exceed $61,000,000 (excluding reserves and costs of issuance); and WHEREAS, pursuant to the North Carolina General Statutes ("N.C.G.S.") Section 160A-20, the County is authorized to finance the cost of the construction, renovation and equipping of the Facilities by entering into the Contract and a deed of trust, which create in some or all of a portion of the Facilities and the sites on which they are located, a security interest to secure payment of the obligation thereby created; and WHEREAS, subject to the prior approval of the Local Government Commission of North Carolina (the "LGC") pursuant to N.C.G.S. Section 159-148, the County intends to finance the cost of the Facilities pursuant to Section 160A-20 by executing and delivering to the Corporation or other financing entity the Contract facilitating such financing; and WHEREAS, the County staff has advised the Board, and the Board hereby finds and determines, that the County must construct, renovate and equip the Facilities in order to maintain and enhance the County's governmental/administrative facilities to enable the County to perform its public functions, and that the Facilities will benefit the County and its residents; and WHEREAS, the Board conducted a public hearing on the date hereof to receive public comment on the desirability of installment financing for the Facilities and the sites thereof, and the Board received evidence supporting the need for such financing; and WHEREAS, the Board finds and determines that the undertaking is necessary and expedient forthe aforesaid reasons and that the Facilities and the sites thereof be financed under the terms, conditions and parameters heretofore stated and to be further determined with more particularity at a later date by the County Manager or Finance Director; and WHEREAS, the sums to fall due under the Contract can be included in the County's budget without difficulty; and \..- WHEREAS, the above factors lead to the conclusion that the payments under the Contract are not" excessive for the stated purposes of constructing, renovating and equipping the Facilities, as the case may be; and WHEREAS, the County Attorney has advised the County that the Facilities are' authorized by law and are purposes for which public funds may be expended pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of North Carolina; and WHEREAS, the Board finds and determines that short-term or pay-as-you-go financing for the Facilities would impose strains on the County's ability to fund general operations and education without a significant tax increase; and WHEREAS, use of the County's unobligated fund balance to finance the cost of the Facilities would reduce the fund below the guidelines established by the LGC and would . not be in the County's best interest; and WHEREAS, installment contract financing would be preferable to general obligation . bond financing because a general obligation bond authorization probably could not be perfected in a timely manner and would not permit the alternative financing structures and repayment provisions available in the proposed, negotiated installment contract financing; and .' l WHEREAS, the proposed cost offinancing the Facilities and the sites thereof is too great an amount to be funded by current appropriations; and WHEREAS, the Board finds and determines that installment contract financing is therefore the most viable and efficient alternative and that the cost of such financing is reasonable; and WHEREAS, past audit reports of the County indicate that its debt management and contract obligations payment policies have been carried out in strict compliance with the law and the County has not been censured by the LGC, external auditors, or any other regulatory agencies in connection with such management; and WHEREAS, the Board estimates that the County's ad valorem tax rate will not be significantly increased in order to sustain the proposed financing; and WHEREAS, the County is not in default in meeting any of its debt service or contract obligations; and WHEREAS, it is the Board's intention to adopt this Resolution for the purpose of authorizing the construction, renovation and equipping of the Facilities, making certain findings and determinations with respect thereto and authorizing such other acts deemed necessary and advisable to carry out the construction, renovation and equipping of the Facilities. ,. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER, NORTH CAROLINA, as follows: Section 1. The Board hereby finds and determines in connection with the Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby that (a) such Contract is necessary or expedient to the County, (b) such proposed Contract, under current circumstances, is preferable to a bond issue of the County for the same purpose, (c) the sums estimated to fall due under such Contract are adequate and not excessive for its proposed purpose, (d) the County's debt management procedures and policies are good and its debtwill continue to be managed in strict compliance with the law, (e) any increase in taxes necessary to meet the sums estimated to fall due under the Contract will not be excessive and (f) the County is not in default regarding any of its debt service obligations.
