A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF STAFFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA AUTHORIZING A LEASE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF STAFFORD AND THE CITY OF STAUNTON, VIRGINIA TO FINANCE VARIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY CAPITAL PROJECTS

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the "Board") of Stafford County, Virginia (the "County") has determined that it is necessary and advisable to undertake the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of a new public safety building (the "Leased Project"), and two new fire and rescue stations (together with the Leased Project, the "Financed Projects") for the County; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to enter into a lease arrangement in order to obtain funds to finance the Financed Projects; and

WHEREAS, the Industrial Development Authority of the County of Stafford and the City of Staunton, Virginia (the "Authority") intends to issue its Revenue Bonds (Virginia Municipal League/ Virginia Association of Counties Finance Program) (the "2006 Authority Bonds"), and to loan a portion of the proceeds to the County pursuant to the terms of a Financing Lease (defined herein) (the "Lease Obligation"); and

WHEREAS, the County will lease the Leased Project to the Authority pursuant to a lease (the "Prime Lease") and will lease the Leased Project back from the Authority pursuant to a financing lease between the Authority and the County (the "Financing Lease"). The Lease Obligation will be payable solely from the revenues derived from the Financing Lease pursuant to which the County will agree to make rental payments, subject to annual appropriation; and

WHEREAS, the Authority will assign its rights to the rental payments under the Financing Lease to the trustee for the 2006 Authority Bonds (the "Assignment of Rents and Leases"). All of the documents listed above, except the 2006 Authority Bonds, are referred to in this Resolution as the "Basic Documents".

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors of Stafford County, Virginia on this the 7th day of March, 2006 that:

1. Approval of Leasing Arrangement and Lease Obligations. The leasing
arrangement with the Authority to accomplish the financing of the financed
Projects for the benefit of the County is hereby approved.

2. Authorization of Basic Documents. The Basic Documents are approved with such changes, insertions or omissions (including, without limitation, changes of the dates thereof), including but not limited to such changes as may required by the bond insurer for the 2006 Authority Bonds, and as may be approved by the County Administrator, the Finance Director or the Chairman of the Board, whose approval shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents to which the County is a party. The execution and delivery of and performance by the County under Lease Obligation and the Basic Documents to which the County is a party are authorized.
3. Execution of Documents. The Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the County Administrator and the Finance Director, or any of them, are authorized to execute on behalf of the County the Basic Documents to which the County is a party, and, if required, the County Administrator and the Clerk of the Board are authorized and directed to affix or to cause to be affixed the seal of the County to the Basic Documents and to attest such seal. The Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the County Administrator and the Finance Director or their designees are authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the County such instruments, financing agreements, documents or certificates, and to do and perform such things and acts, as they shall deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the transactions authorized by this Resolution or contemplated by the Basic Documents; and all of the foregoing, previously done or performed by such officers or agents of the County, are in all respects approved, ratified and confirmed.
4. Approval of the Terms of the Lease Obligation. The Lease Obligation shall be composed of principal and interest components having a maximum original principal amount of $51,000,000 to provide for the financing of the Financed Projects (including repayment of the Interim Financing as hereinafter defined), plus amounts sufficient to pay all costs associated with the financing, including legal fees and any discount. The Lease Obligation shall accrue interest at a maximum interest rate of 6.5% per annum, and shall have a term to maturity not exceeding approximately thirty-one (31) years after origination of the Lease Obligation.
5. Payments under Financing Lease. The County agrees to pay all amounts required by the Financing Lease.

6. Approval of Interim Financing. The County Administrator and the Finance Director, or either of them, are also authorized to enter into a financing arrangement from such source as they deem appropriate in anticipation of the Lease Obligation (the "Interim Financing") for the purposes for which the Lease Obligation has been authorized. The County Administrator and the Finance Director, or either of them or their designees, are authorized to execute any agreement or document in connection with the Interim Financing. Such Interim Financing shall be in a maximum principal amount of $4,000,000, accrue interest at a maximum rate of 10% per annum and be for no more than one year. The County's obligation to make payments in connection with the Interim Financing is hereby specifically stated to be subject to annual appropriation therefor by the Board, and nothing in this Resolution or in the agreements evidencing the Interim Financing shall constitute a pledge of the full faith and credit nor taxing power of the County nor compel the Board to make any such appropriation.
The County is entering into the Interim Financing pursuant to the authority granted in Sections 15.2-1205 and 15.2-4905 of the Virginia Code of 1950, as amended, and not pursuant to the County's borrowing powers.
7. Essentiality of the Project. The Financed Projects are hereby declared to be essential to the efficient operation of the County, and the County anticipates that the Financed Projects will continue to be essential to the operation of the County during the term of any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the term of the Financing Lease.
8. Annual Budget. While recognizing that it is not empowered to make any binding commitment to make such payments beyond the current fiscal year, the Board hereby states its intent to make annual appropriations for future fiscal years in amounts sufficient to make all such payments and hereby recommends that future Boards do likewise during the term of any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the term of the Financing Lease. The Board directs the Finance Director, or such other officer who may be charged with the responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to include in the budget request for each fiscal year during the term of any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the term of the Financing Lease, respectively, an amount sufficient to pay all amounts coming due under any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the Financing Lease during such fiscal year.
As soon as practicable after the submission of the County's annual budget to the Board, the County Administrator is authorized and directed to deliver to the Authority evidence that a request for an amount sufficient to make the payment of all amounts payable under any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the Financing Lease has been made. Throughout the term of any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the Financing Lease, respectively, the County Administrator shall deliver to the Authority within 30 days after the adoption of the budget for each fiscal year, but not later than July 1, a certificate stating whether an amount equal to all amounts due under any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the Financing Lease, respectively, which will be due during the next fiscal year has been appropriated by the Board in such budget. If at any time during any fiscal year of the County throughout the term of any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the Financing Lease, respectively, the amount appropriated in the County's annual budget in any such fiscal year is insufficient to pay when due the amounts payable under any agreement executed in connection with the Interim Financing and the Financing Lease, respectively, the Board directs the Finance Director, or such other officer who may be charged with the responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to submit to the Board at the next scheduled meeting, or as promptly as practicable but in any event within 45 days, a request for a supplemental appropriation sufficient to cover the deficit.

9. Payment of Lease Obligation is Subject to Appropriation. The County's obligation to make payments to the Authority pursuant to the Financing Lease is hereby specifically stated to be subject to annual appropriation therefor by the Board, and nothing in this Resolution or the Basic Documents shall constitute a pledge of the full faith and credit nor taxing power of the County nor compel the Board to make any such appropriation.
10. Reimbursement Declaration. The County has made and expects to make out of temporary funds certain expenditures in connection with the Financed Projects for which the County reasonably expects to be reimbursed as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2 issued pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, from the proceeds of the Lease Obligation. The maximum principal amount of the Lease Obligation is expected to be the amount set forth in paragraph 4.
11. Disclosure Documents. The County authorizes and consents to the inclusion of information with respect to the County to be contained in the Authority's Preliminary Official Statement and the Authority's Official Statement in final form, both prepared in connection with the sale of the 2006 Authority Bonds, a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to purchase the Lease Obligation. If appropriate, such disclosure documents shall be distributed in such manner and at such times as the Authority shall determine. The County Administrator is authorized and directed to take whatever actions are necessary and/or appropriate to aid the Authority in ensuring compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12.

12. Tax Documents. The County Administrator is authorized to execute a Non-Arbitrage Certificate and Tax Compliance Agreement or any related document (the "Tax Documents") setting forth the expected use and investment of the proceeds of the Interim financing and the Lease Obligation and containing such covenants as may be necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax Code"), including the provisions of Section 148 of the Tax Code and applicable regulations relating to "arbitrage bonds." The County covenants that the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Interim financing and the Lease Obligation will be invested and expended as set forth in the Tax Documents, to be delivered simultaneously with the issuance and delivery of the Interim financing and the Lease Obligation and that the County shall comply with the other covenants and representations contained therein.
13. Other Actions. All other actions of the officers of the County in conformity with the purpose and intent of this Resolution are hereby approved and confirmed. The officers of the County are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver all financing agreements, agreements, documents, certificates, forms and instruments and to take all such further action as may be considered necessary or desirable in connection with (1) the Interim Financing and (2) the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents in connection with the Lease Obligation.
14. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions or Ordinances. All resolutions or ordinances or parts thereof in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

A RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE HOUSE BILL 1185 INTRODUCED IN THE 2006 SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

WHEREAS, House Bill 1185, introduced in the 2006 Virginia General Assembly, in the form adopted by the House and Senate, would scuttle proposed Department of Environmental Quality regulations for withdrawal scheduled for approval in Spring 2006; and

WHEREAS, the regulations were proposed by a Technical Advisory Committee established in response to concerns raised during the statewide drought in 2002, and would set water withdrawal limits that trigger requirements for a general permit, if a user withdraws less than 1 million gallons of water per month, and an individual permit, if a user withdraws more than 3 million gallons per month; and

WHEREAS, while House Bill 1185 proposes to expand the protection of riparian rights for certain individuals, the legislation would infringe upon the riparian rights of all other landowners, potentially disrupting centuries of riparian rights common law; and

WHEREAS, House Bill 1185 removes the protection of all beneficial uses of state waters, thereby eliminating the fundamental underpinnings of the Commonwealth’s water protection program, in place for more than two decades; and

WHEREAS, House Bill 1185 jeopardizes the Commonwealth’s four-year effort to establish policies to ensure a stable water supply for all public and private users of the waters of the Commonwealth;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, on this the 7th day of March 2006, that it hereby expresses its opposition to House Bill 1185 for the reasons cited above; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Administrator be and he hereby is requested to transmit a copy of this resolution to the Governor of Virginia, so that he may be apprised of the sense of the Board on this matter.
