DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE
CITY OF MONTICELLO TO REIMBURSE
CERTAIN EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS
OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
"Reimbursement Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse prior
expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily
from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond;
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent
("Declaration") to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MONTICELLO AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City expects to acquire a fire engine (the "Equipment").
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse expenditures made by the City for all or
a portion of the cost of the Equipment from the proceeds of certificates or bonds (referred to as the
"bonds") in an estimated maximum principal amount of $750,000. All reimbursed expenditures
will be capital expenditures, costs of issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for
reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any original
expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the proceeds of bonds,
except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds; (b) costs in an amount not in
excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue; or (c) "preliminary expenditures" up to
an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate issue price of the issue or issues that finance
or are reasonably expected by the City to finance the project for which the preliminary expenditures
were incurred. The term "preliminary expenditures" includes architectural, engineering, surveying,
bond issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction
or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident
to commencement of construction.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City based
on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The anticipated original
expenditures for the Equipment and the principal amount of the bonds described in paragraph 2
are consistent with the City's budgetary and financial circumstances. No sources other than
proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are, or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated
on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside pursuant to the City's budget or financial policies to
pay such Equipment expenditures.
5. This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for
purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations.
