FLORIDA, INDICATING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY TO ISSUE TAXEXEMPT AND TAXABLE BONDS FOR VARIOUS MUNICIPAL PURPOSES AND TO USE A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS OF SUCH BONDS TO REIMBURSE
EXPENDITURES PAID OR INCURRED PRIOR TO THE DATE OF ISSUANCE THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: As discussed at City Council’s
workshop last month, in order to undertake the new City Hall project, it is necessary to commit to several significant capital expenditures. This will require a major bond issue for
the costs of designing, building, equipping, etc. the new facility. The first step in issuing bonds is to adopt a “bond reimbursement resolution.” This resolution merely states that
any expenditure made after the adoption of the resolution can be reimbursed by the bonds whenever they are issued. In this case, that will not be until after October 2010. This resolution
is required by the I.R.S. to allow the city to continue moving forward using whatever funds budgeted. Then, upon issuance of the bonds, the city can reimburse those funds, thus capitalizing
the expenditures and returning to the budget any funds advanced. This resolution does not require that the City actually issue bonds. ITEM J-6) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Bond Reimbursement
