RESOLUTION NO. 2-93
A RESOLUTION of the Board of Directors of
Bellingham School District No. 501, Whatcom
County, Washington, providing for the form of
the ballot proposition and specifying certain
other details concerning submission to the
qualified electors of the district at a
special election to be held therein on May
18, 1993, of a proposition for the issuance
of its general obligation bonds in the
aggregate principal amount of $34,700,000, or
so much thereof as may be issued under the
laws governing the indebtedness of school
districts for the purpose of providing funds
to acquire, construct, equip and make certain
capital improvements to the facilities of the
school district.
WHEREAS, additional school facilities are needed in
Bellingham School District No. 501, Whatcom County, Washington
(the "District"), .in order to provide the students of the
District with adequate, proper and safe educational facilities;
and
WHEREAS, in order to provide part of the funds to enable the
District to acquire, construct, equip and make such necessary
capital improvements to its existing facilities, it is deemed
necessary and advisable that the District issue and sell its
unlimited tax levy general obligation bonds in the principal
amount of $34,700,000; and
WHEREAS, the Constitution and laws of the State of
Washington (including RCW 28A.530.010 and RCW 84.52.056) provide
that the question of whether or not such bonds may be issued and
sold for such purposes and taxes levied to pay such bonds must be
submitted to the qualified electors of the District for their
ratification or rejection;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of
Bellingham School District No. 501, Whatcom County, Washington,
as follows:
Section 1. Findings. This Board of Directors (the "Board")
hereby finds and declares that the best interest of the students
and other inhabitants of the District requires the District to
carry out the plans hereinafter provided at the time or times and
in the order deemed most necessary and advisable by the Board.
Section 2. Capital Improvements. The District shall make
the following capital improvements:
A. Construct and equip a new high school;
B. Acquire, construct and install technology facilities and
equipment district -wide, including, but not limited to,
computer systems, printers and supporting facilities;
C. Make district -wide capital improvements to District sites
and facilities including, but not limited to, lands,
buildings and portable buildings, which improvements may
include, but not be limited to, roof, mechanical and site
improvements
The cost of all necessary architectural, engineering, and
other consulting services, inspection and testing, administrative
and relocation expenses, on and off -site utilities, and other
costs incurred in connection with the making of the foregoing
capital improvements shall be deemed a part of the costs of such
improvements.
Such improvements shall be complete with all necessary
furniture, equipment and appurtenances.
-2-
If available funds are sufficient from the proceeds of bonds
authorized for the above purposes, the District shall acquire,
construct, equip and make other capital improvements to the
facilities of the District, all as the Board of Directors finds
necessary.
The District shall determine the application of available
moneys as between the various projects set forth above so as to
accomplish, as nearly as may be, all improvements described or
provided for in this section. The District shall determine the
exact extent and specifications for construction of structures or
other improvements.
If the District shall determine that it has become
impractical to accomplish any of such improvements or portions
thereof by reason of changed conditions or needs, incompatible
development or costs substantially in excess of those estimated,
the District shall not be required to accomplish such improvement
and may apply the bond proceeds or any portion thereof to other
portions of the improvements, to other capital purposes of the
District, or to payment of principal of or interest on the bonds,
as the District in its discretion shall determine.
In the event that the proceeds of sale of the bonds, plus
any other moneys of the District legally available, are
insufficient to accomplish all of the capital improvements
provided by this section, the District• shall use the available
funds for paying the cost of those improvements for which the
bonds were approved deemed by the Board most necessary and to the
best interest of the District.
-3-
Section 3. Authorization of Bonds. For the purpose of
providing part of the funds necessary to pay the cost of the
improvements described in Section 2 hereof, together with
incidental costs and costs related to the sale and issuance of
the bonds, the District shall issue and sell its unlimited tax
levy general obligation bonds in the principal amount of not to
exceed $34,700,000. The balance of the cost of such improvements
shall be paid out of any moneys which the District now has or may
later have on hand which are legally available for such purposes
and out of possible state or federal grants of money. None of
said bond proceeds shall be used for the replacement of equipment
or for any other than a capital purpose. Such bonds shall be
issued in an amount not exceeding the amount approved by the
qualified electors of the District as required by the
