As provided in District Resolution #13- 02, the bonds would pay for improvements to the District's community center, including new roof, HVAC, flooring, storage shed, drainage improvements and design for seismic improvements. The bonds would be repaid from annual property tax levies over a period not to exceed 10 years. Depending on amounts repaid each year and on prevailing interest rates, property tax levies are estimated to increase approximately 5.5¢ per $1,000 of assessed value for the term of the bonds. KQ069074\00001120391_DOM0391 M24HW Debbie Adelstein From: Mark Robbins <mark.robbins@prodigy.net> Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2013 2:41 PM To: Debbie Adelstein Cc: Nancy Moore; David Thompson Subject: Update re Point Roberts Park & Rec District Proposition No. 2013-01 (Nov. 5, 2013 ballot measure) Hi Debbie and Nancy, think we are "on track," but please do let me know if I am missing anything here. 1. Levy Resolution: Already submitted prior to the August 6, 2013 deadline. 2. Explanatory Statement (for Voters' Pamphlet): We are working with our attorney to have this to you by the August 12 deadline. 3. PRO Committee: I expect our Board of Commissioners to formally appoint two volunteers to serve on this committee when we meet on August 12 at 7 pm. They are Renee Coe (chair) and Shelley Damewood. I have their appointment form, which I will sign and email to Nancy following their formal appointment Monday night. (No other supporters have come forward seeking to serve on this committee.) Ms. Coe has informed me that her committee has already prepared their PRO statement; and I asked her to wait until they have been formally appointed by the Board to submit it to your office. She will probably do so on August 13 (the deadline being August 16). 4. CON Committee: So far I have received only one expression of interest in serving on a CON committee, from Mr. Ron Hughes. I sent Mr. Hughes a copy of your 3/5/13 memorandum along with a copy of the CON committee appointment form, CON statement form, and committee statement requirements sheet. I also provided Mr. Hughes with a copy of our Bond Levy Resolution and advised that we need a minimum of two persons to form a committee. I promised to let him know if I received any additional expressions of interest in serving on a CON committee. I advised him of the August 12 deadline. To date, I have not received any additional expressions of interest, nor have I heard anything further from Mr. Hughes (re efforts to recruit a co -committee member). I leave it to you to determine what, if any, steps the Auditor's Office should take to form a CON Committee. Of course it is still possible that one will form in time for appointment by our Board on August 12. 1 feel that the "call for service" on a CON committee has been well publicized, on local bulletin boards (notices still posted), through an extensive community email distribution by "Point -Interface," and by the All Point Bulletin's weekly electronic edition of 8/1/13).

If you don't think you are going to be able to appoint a "Con" committee prior to August 12, please let me know to proceed to look for someone. I'm not sure of your newspaper deadline but given that the statement for the Local Voters' Pamphlet is due 8/16, we may not have an opportunity in there to run something in the paper to seek individuals to serve. It may turn up nothing, but we are required to give it a shot. Debbie Adelstein • Whatcom County Auditor (360) 715-7474 www.whatcomcouat3L-us/auditor Do you really need to print this email?

Also we have a PRO committee selected, though not formally appointed by our Board of Commissioners. I have also taken due measures to solicit a CON committee (no responses so far) Our next regular, scheduled meeting is August 12, at 7 pm. If we formally appoint (and record in our minutes) the committees then, would submitting the forms by email that night qualify as meeting your August 12 deadline Or would you suggest that we call a special meeting ahead of the deadline for this purpose? By the way, the instructions on the Appointment Forms were a bit confusing to me: It says that the committee chairperson shall submit the form by August 12, but the form suggests that it must be signed off by an "authorized" person, which I assume would be me as chair of our board of commissioners. I assume that after signing, I can submit it to you, right? Thanks.

I missed getting it into the August APB, but I have already placed a similar notice on the local bulletin boards and submitted it to Point -Interface. Thanks, Mark Call for Committee to Oppose Proposed Park and Recreation District Bond Measure As reported in the August 2013 All Point Bulletin, the Parks Board is placing a measure on the November 5, 2013 general election ballot to request voter approval of a $250,000 bond measure, not to exceed 10 years, to finance needed capital improvements to our Community Center. The main improvements to be undertaken are a new roof, new heating and air conditioning 1 units on the roof, improved drainage to alleviate chronic water problems underneath the building, and an additional storage shed. The Parks Board has already identified 2 persons to form a "PRO" committee, to prepare a 200-word statement in favor of the measure for inclusion in the voters' pamphlet. The Parks Board is also required to appoint a "CON" committee of 2-3 persons if there are residents opposed to the bond measure who would like to submit a statement against the bond measure. If you wish to serve on a "CON" committee, contact Commissioner Mark Robbins at 360-945- 1357 <mark.robbins(&Prodigy.net>. The deadline for appointment of committees is August 12, 2013. z Nancy Moore From: Mark Robbins < mark.robbins@ prod igy.net> Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 11:31 AM To: Debbie Adelstein Cc: Nancy Moore Subject: Re: contact information The monthly Point Roberts All Point Bulletin normally hits the street on the last Friday of each month, with a deadline for submission of ads and notices about a week before that date. We missed (neglected) to use that medium to solicit pro and con teams in their August issue. Doing so prior to our passing the bond levy resolution (at our July meeting) would have seemed premature. If no one opposed to the measure responds to my invitation to serve on a con committee, you would likewise have to use other means to take your best shot at it prior to the deadline. The best communications tool we have in Point Roberts (perhaps less "official" than a newspaper but in my opinion more effective) is the "Point -Interface" (or "P-I")email distribution, run by Carol Fuegi to support her charity PAWS (Point Roberts Animal Wellness Society). People advertising or selling items via P-I make voluntary donations to PAWS. There would be no expectation of a donation from the County to run a public service notice. Items to be sent out to P-I subscribers (who number in the several hundreds) can be submitted to < point-interface@pointroberts. net>. There is often a lag time of a couple of days between submission and transmission. I sent my solicitation for con committee volunteers to P-I on Sunday and am waiting for it to be sent out to everyone. When it is sent, I can forward a copy to you for your information. Two years ago, when we had our regular levy on the ballot, no one came forward to oppose the measure. We did appoint a pro committee to submit a statement. I do not remember if your office made any attempt to form a con committee.

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of Point Roberts Park and Recreation District No. 1, Whatcom County, Washington (the "District"), has been reviewing the condition of the community center owned and operated by the District and has determined that the building needs significant capital repairs and upgrades to extend its useful life and to provide a safe facility for use by residents of the District (as further described in this resolution, the "Improvements"); and WHEREAS, to provide part of the funds to pay for costs of the Improvements, the Board deems it necessary and advisable that the District issue and sell its unlimited tax levy general obligation bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $250,000 (the "Bonds"); 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 the Bonds may be issued and sold for these purposes and taxes levied to pay debt service on the Bonds must be submitted to the voters of the District for their ratification or rejection; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Point Roberts Park and Recreation District No. 1, Whatcom County, Washington, as follows: Section 1. Findings. The Board finds that the best interests of the District's residents require the District to undertake the Improvements described in Section 2 of this resolution when and how the Board deems most necessary and advisable. Section 2. Capital Improvements. The District shall make the following capital improvements to the District's community center: Replacement of the roof, HVAC system, and flooring, installation of new skylights, construction of a new storage shed, drainage improvements on the site, including related parking and landscaping modifications, upgrades to the playground, and planning and design for seismic improvements (collectively, the "Improvements"). The Improvements include all necessary furniture, equipment, and appurtenances. The cost of all architectural, engineering, legal, and other consulting services, inspection and testing, administrative and relocation expenses, acquisitions of property, on and off -site utilities, technology infrastructure and upgrades, and other costs incurred in connection with making the Improvements will be considered part of the cost of the Improvements. The District will determine the extent, timing and specifications for construction and installation of structures and other improvements. The District will apply proceeds of the Bonds and other money of the District legally available for the Improvements among the various Improvements to accomplish, as nearly as may be, all the Improvements. If proceeds of the Bonds, plus other funds of the District legally available for the Improvements, are insufficient to accomplish all of the Improvements, the District will use the available funds for those Improvements deemed by the Board most necessary and in the best interest of the District. If the Board determines that it has become impracticable to acquire, construct or install one or more of the Improvements by reason of changed conditions, or costs substantially in excess of the amount of Bond proceeds or other available funds, the District is not required to acquire, construct or install those Improvements. If all of the Improvements have been completed or duly provided for, or found to be impracticable, the District may apply all or any portion of the leftover Bond proceeds to other capital improvements to the District's community center, to the redemption of Bonds, or the redemption of other outstanding obligations of the District as the Board determines. Section 3. Authorization of Bonds. To provide part of the funds necessary to pay costs of the Improvements (or to reimburse the District for those costs to the extent that District funds have been used for that purpose), together with incidental costs and costs related to the sale and issuance of the Bonds, the District will issue and sell the Bonds as unlimited tax general obligation bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $250,000. The balance, if any, of the cost of the Improvements will be paid from funds that the District now has or may later have on hand that are legally available for this purpose and out of possible state or federal grants. Bond proceeds may not be used for the replacement of equipment or for any other than a capital purpose. The Bonds will be issued in an amount not exceeding the amount approved by the voters of the District as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington and not exceeding the amount permitted by the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington. Section 4. Details of Bonds. The Bonds will be sold in such amounts and at such time or times as the Board deems necessary and advisable and as permitted by law. The Bonds will bear interest at a rate or rates authorized by the Board and will mature in the amounts and at the times, within a maximum term of 10 years from date of issue (but may mature at an earlier date or dates), and have other terms all as authorized by the Board and as provided by law. The exact date, form, terms and maturities of the Bonds will be as hereafter established by resolution of the Board. The Bonds will be general obligations of the District and, unless paid from other sources, both principal of and interest on the Bonds will be payable out of annual tax levies to be made upon all taxable property within the District without limitation as to rate or amount and in excess of any constitutional or statutory tax limitations. After voter approval of the bond -2- P:120391 DOT%20391 2OV 07/09/13 proposition and in anticipation of the issuance of the Bonds, the District may issue short-term obligations as authorized by Chapter 39.50 RCW. Proceeds of the Bonds may be used to redeem and retire short term obligations or to reimburse the District for expenditures previously made for the Improvements. Section 5. Election. The Board finds that it is in the best interest of the District and its residents to submit to the District's voters the proposition of whether the District will issue the Bonds for the purposes described in this resolution at the election to be held on November 5, 2013. The District requests that the Whatcom County Auditor, as ex officio supervisor of elections, call and conduct the election to be held within the District and submit to the District's voters the proposition set forth below. The Secretary of the Board is authorized and directed to certify the proposition to the Auditor in substantially the following form at least 45 days prior to the election date: PROPOSITION NO. 1 POINT ROBERTS PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT NO. 1 COMMUNITY CENTER CAPITAL EMPROVEMENTS GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS - $250,000 The Board of Commissioners of Point Roberts Park and Recreation District No. 1 passed Resolution #13-02 concerning the District's community center.

Should this proposition be: APPROVED? REJECTED? The Secretary of the Board is hereby authorized to deliver a certified copy of this resolution to the Whatcom County Auditor. Section 6. Severability. If any provision of this resolution is held to be invalid, such invalidity will not affect or invalidate any other provision of this resolution or the Bonds, but this resolution and the Bonds will be construed and enforced as if the invalid provision had not been contained in this resolution; provided, however, that any provision that for any reason is held by reason of its extent to be invalid will be deemed to be in effect to the extent permitted by law.
