The cost of all necessary architectural, engineering, and other consulting services, inspection and testing, administrative and relocation expenses, site acquisition, on and off -site utilities, related improvements 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. If available funds are sufficient from the proceeds of Bonds authorized for the above purposes, and state or local circumstances require, the District shall acquire, construct, equip and make other capital improvements to the facilities of the District, as the Board of Directors may determine, after holding a public hearing thereon pursuant to RCW 28A.530.020. In the event that both ballot propositions (#2 and #3) are approved by the voters, the District may consider the Improvements approved collectively as if there had been a single ballot proposition for purposes of allocating Bond proceeds to specific Improvements authorized within each ballot proposition. Accordingly, the District shall determine the application of available moneys as between the various Improvements set forth above so as to accomplish, as nearly as may be, all of the Improvements described or provided for in this section. The District shall -4- P:\CMVNCMVJ72L 12/16/05 determine the exact extent and specifications for construction of structures or other improvements. If the Board shall determine that it has become impractical to accomplish any of such Improvements or portions thereof by reason of state or local circumstances, including changed conditions, incompatible development, lack of additional state funding or costs substantially in excess of those estimated, the District shall not be required to accomplish such Improvements and may apply the bond proceeds or any portion thereof to other portions of the Improvements, or to payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, as the Board may determine after holding a public hearing thereon pursuant to RCW 28A.530.020. 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 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 in the best interest of the District. It is anticipated that the District will receive funds from the State of Washington pursuant to RCW 28A.525 in the estimated amount of $1,850,000 for the improvements identified under Proposition #2 in Section 2 of this resolution, and the District does not anticipate that it will receive any funds from the State of Washington for the improvements identified under Proposition #3 in Section 2 of this resolution. The District intends to apply such funds to the completion of the Improvements described in Section 2 under Proposition #2. Such funds may also be applied to pay the principal of or interest on the bonds provided for herein or to make -5- P:\CMVACMVV72L 12/16/05 other capital improvements to the facilities of the District as the Board may determine after holding a public hearing thereon pursuant to RCW 28A.530.020. 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 and/or to reimburse the District for such costs to the extent that District funds have been used for such purposes, 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 $36,800,000 (authorized separately as hereinafter provided). The Improvements identified in Section 2 under Proposition #2 shall be submitted to the voters for consideration in Ballot Proposition #2 described in Section 5 of this resolution. The Improvements identified in Section 2 under Proposition #3 shall be submitted to the voters for consideration in Ballot Proposition #3 described in Section 5 of this resolution. Ballot proposition #3 shall not be approved unless the voters have approved Ballot Proposition #2. 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, including mitigation fees, 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 Constitution and laws of the State of Washington or exceeding the amount permitted by the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington. Section 4. Details of Bonds. The Bonds provided for in Section 3 hereof shall be sold in such amounts and at such time or times as deemed necessary and advisable by this Board -6- P:\CMVIACMVV72L 12/16/05 and as permitted by law, shall bear interest at a rate or rates not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law at the time the Bonds are sold, and shall mature in such amounts and at such times within a maximum term of twenty (20) years from date of issue, but may mature at an earlier date or dates, as authorized by this Board and as provided by law. Said Bonds shall be general obligations of the District and, unless paid from other sources, both principal thereof and interest thereon shall be payable out of annual tax levies to be made upon all the taxable property within the District without limitation as to rate or amount and in excess of any constitutional or statutory tax limitations. The exact date, form, terms and maturities of said Bonds shall be as hereafter fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors. After voter approval of the bond proposition and in anticipation of the issuance of such Bonds, the District may issue short term obligations as authorized and provided by Chapter 39.50 RCW. The proceeds of such Bonds may be used to redeem and retire short term obligations or to reimburse the District for expenditures previously made for such Improvements. Section 5. Election. It is hereby found and declared that an emergency exists requiring the District to submit to the qualified electors of the District the proposition of whether or not the District shall issue the Bonds at a special election to be held on March 14, 2006. The Whatcom County Auditor as ex officio supervisor of elections is hereby requested also to find the existence of such emergency and to call and conduct the special election to be held by mail - in ballot within the District and to submit to the qualified electors of the District the proposition set forth below.
