XI. BUSINESS AND FINANCE
XI.A. Resolution #2018-2019-024 Resolution of the Board of Education of the Beverly Hills Unified School District Regarding its Intention to Issue Tax-Exempt General Obligation Bonds
Rationale:
The District has approved Measure BH, a $385,000,000 general obligation bond measure on the June 5, 2018 ballot. Measure BH permits the sale of bonds (the “Bonds”) to finance capital projects authorized thereby (each, a “Project”). The District is planning on issuing its first series of Measure BH bonds in the next few months. The District may elect to advance certain of its own funds toward the start of a Project. The District would advance funds on the knowledge that it could be reimbursed for amounts expended on such improvements from the subsequent sale of any Bonds. The Internal Revenue Code has certain requirements that need to be satisfied in order for a school district to reimburse itself for costs incurred for capital projects in advance of the sale of tax-exempt Bonds. In order to qualify for reimbursement of such costs from the proceeds of a Bond issue, the Board must adopt a resolution which satisfies all the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code within 60 days of the date on which the expenditures had been made. The District’s bond counsel has prepared the attached resolution which complies with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and would allow the District to reimburse itself for such advanced Project costs from the proceeds of Bonds issued under the measure if approved by District voters. The adoption of this resolution does not obligate the District to ever advance its own funds toward Projects. The adoption of this resolution preserves the option for the Board to decide at a subsequent date whether or not it would be in the best interests of the District to allocate a portion of any Bond proceeds towards the reimbursement of the monies the District might spend in getting started on Projects to be funded from a future bond issuance. There is a reference in this resolution to a $160,000,000 Bond issue. The Internal Revenue Code obligates this resolution to include an estimated size of the borrowing from which the reimbursement will occur. The District is not required to maintain this $160,000,000 amount. It is included to satisfy a legal requirement and constitutes only a rough estimate of the likely size of a Bond issue that the Board may consider. If the Board were to sell a smaller Bond, such decision would not adversely affect its ability to use a portion of the proceeds of such Bond to reimburse the District for these costs.
