RESOLUTION NO. 18-528
Resolution relating to financing of a project to be undertaken by the City of
Ames, Iowa; establishing compliance with reimbursement bond regulations under
the Internal Revenue Code
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Ames, Iowa (the
"City"), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
(a) The Internal Revenue Service has issued Section 1.150-2 of the
Income Tax Regulations (the "Regulations") dealing with the issuance of bonds,
all or a portion of the proceeds of which are to be used to reimburse the City for
project expenditures made by the City prior to the date of issuance.
(b) The Regulations generally require that the City make a prior
declaration of its official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out
of the proceeds of a subsequently issued borrowing and that the borrowing occur
and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such borrowing
within a certain period after the payment of the expenditure or the date the project
is placed in service; and
(c) The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations
with respect to a certain project hereinafter identified.
Section 2. Official Intent Declaration.
(a) The City proposes to undertake the following project and to make
original expenditures with respect thereto prior to the issuance of bonds, notes or
other obligations (the "Bonds") and reasonably expects to issue the Bonds for
such project in the maximum principal amount shown below:

$100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of the Bonds or (iv) expenditures constituting

Section 3. Budgetary Matters.
As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved, allocated on a long term basis or
otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long term basis or
otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing for the expenditures related to the project,
other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. This resolution, therefore, is determined to be
consistent with the City's budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are reasonably
foreseeable on the date hereof, all within the meaning and content of the Regulations.
Section 4. Reimbursement Allocations.
The City's financial officer shall be responsible for making the "reimbursement
allocations" described in the Regulations, being generally the transfer of the appropriate amount
of proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse the source of temporary financing used by the City to
make payment of the prior costs of the project. Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry
on the official books and records of the City maintained for the Bonds, shall specifically identify
the actual prior expenditure being reimbursed or, in the case of reimbursement of a fund or
account, the fund or account from which the expenditure was paid, and shall be effective to
relieve the proceeds of the Bonds from any restriction under the bond resolution or other relevant
legal documents for the Bonds, and under any applicable state statute, which would apply to the
unspent proceeds of the Bonds.
Section 5. Repealer.
All resolutions, parts of resolutions, or actions of the Council in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed, to the extent of such conflict.
Passed and approved September 11, 2018.
