WHATCOM COUNTY CANVASSING BOARD W4 County Auditor County Legislative Authority County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney CITY OF EVERSON, WASHINGTON RESOLUTION NO. _)X2S RECEIVED . SHIRLEY FORSLOF WHATCOM COUNTY AUMTOR HA Y 1 9 1997 A RESOLUTION of the City of Everson, Washington, pro id" ing forlthe submission to the voters of the City at a special election to be held therein on May 20, 1997, of a proposition authorizing the City to incur indebtedness by issuing its general obligation bonds in a par amount not to exceed $500,000, payable by annual property tax levies to be made in excess of regular property tax levies, for the purpose of paying all or a part of the City's contribution to the cost of improvements to Main Street and Everson Road and carrying out other capital purposes as determined by the City Council, and to levy those excess property taxes. WHEREAS, the City of Everson, Washington (the "City"), is in urgent need of acquiring, constructing and installing improvements to Main Street and Everson Road as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and carrying out other capital purposes as determined by the City Council (the "Project"), and the City does not have sufficient funds available for that purpose to meet the estimated cost of those improvements; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EVERSON, WASHINGTON, as follows: Section 1. The City shall acquire, construct and install improvements to Main Street and Everson Street as more particularly described in Exhibit A (the "Project"). The total estimated cost of the Project, is declared to be, as nearly as may be, $1,000,000, which cost is expected to be financed by the assessments levied within a local improvement district, State grants and money of the City available to be used therefore (the "City's contribution"). The estimated cost of the City's contribution to the Project, including the costs of issuing and selling the bonds authorized by this resolution, is declared to be, as nearly as may be, $500,000. The economic 0283423.01 -1- life of the improvements to be financed by the City's contribution to the Project is expected to be at least 10 years. Section 2. The City shall borrow not to exceed $500,000 on the credit of the City and issue and sell its general obligation bonds in that principal amount for strictly municipal capital purposes, other than the replacement of equipment, to provide a portion of the funds for the Project and carry out other capital purposes as determined by the City Council. Costs of engineering, planning, financial, legal and other services lawfully incurred incident to the Project shall be appropriate capital costs to be paid from the proceeds of the bonds authorized by this resolution. The City Council declares that to the extent, if any, the City prior to the date bonds or other short-term obligations are issued to finance the Project shall make capital expenditures for the Project from funds that are not (and are not reasonably expected to be) reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside by the City under its existing and reasonably foreseeable budgetary and financial circumstances to finance the Project, those capital expenditures are intended to be reimbursed out of proceeds of the bonds or other short-term obligations issued in an amount not to exceed the principal amount provided by this resolution. Section 3. The bonds shall be issued as a single issue, as a part of a combined issue with other authorized bonds, or in more than one series. The bonds shall be fully registered; shall bear interest payable as permitted by law; shall mature within 10 years from their date or within any shorter period fixed by the City Council; shall be paid by annual property tax levies sufficient in amount to pay both principal and interest when due, which annual property tax levies shall be made in excess of regular property tax levies without limitation as to rate or amount but only in amounts sufficient to pay both principal and interest when due; and shall be 0283423.01 -2- issued and sold in the manner, at the times and in the amounts as shall be required for the Project. The exact date, form, terms, option of prior redemption, if any, price, interest rate or rates and maturities of the bonds shall be fixed hereafter by resolution of the City Council. Pending the issuance of the bonds and receipt of their proceeds, the City Council may authorize the issuance of short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW, and the costs of those short-term obligations shall be included in the cost of the Project for which the bonds are issued. Section 4. The City Council finds that an emergency exists which requires constructing, acquiring, constructing and installing the improvements comprising the Project, and the Auditor of Whatcom County, Washington, as ex officio Supervisor of Elections, is requested to concur in that finding and to call and conduct a special election to be held in the City on May 20, 1997, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of the City for their approval the question of whether or not the City shall borrow not to exceed $500,000, issue its general obligation bonds in that principal amount for capital purposes only, other than replacement of equipment, and levy excess taxes necessary to redeem the bonds as herein set forth. Section 5. The City Clerk -Treasurer is directed to certify to the Auditor of Whatcom County, Washington, as ex officio Supervisor of Elections, at least 45 days prior to the May 20, 1997, special election date a copy of this resolution and the proposition to be submitted at that special election in the form of a ballot title as follows: 0283423.01 -3- PROPOSITION STREET IMPROVEMENT BONDS - $500,000 Shall the City of Everson, Washington, borrow $500,000 to pay a portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing improvements to Main Street and Everson Road and carrying out other capital projects by selling general obligation bonds therefor maturing within 10 years and levy annual excess property taxes necessary to pay and retire the bonds, as provided in Resolution No. BONDS ..
