Section 7. Provisions for Tax Lew There shall be levied on all the taxable property in the City, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually during the period the Bonds are outstanding in an amount sufficient to pay the debt charges on the Bonds when due, which tax shall not be less than the interest and sinking fund tax required by Section 11 of Article XII of the Ohio Constitution. The tax shall be within the ten -mill limitation imposed by law, shall be and is ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of those years are certified, levied, extended and collected, and shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The proceeds of the tax levy shall be placed in the Bond Retirement Fund, which is irrevocably pledged for the payment of the debt charges on the Bonds when and as the same fall due. In each year to the extent money from the municipal income tax is available for the payment of the debt charges on the Bonds and is appropriated for that purpose, the amount of the tax shall be reduced by the amount of such money so available and RECORD OF ORDINANCES Da Le Blank, Inc.

Grigsby, City Manager Date: October 31, 2013 Initiated By: Angel L. Mumma, Director of Finance Memo Re: Ordinances 87 -13, 88 -13, 89 -13 and 90 -13 — Providing for the Issuance and Sale of Bonds Background As introduced in an October 24, 2013 memo to City Council, staff is preparing for the issuance of bonds to provide revenue to fund a number of projects that were approved in the 2013 — 2017 Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The bonds authorized by Ordinances 87 -13 through 89 -13 will be utilized for the following projects: ■ Ordinance 87 -13 will provide funding up to $12 million for the construction of Emerald Parkway from Riverside Drive to Sawmill Road (Emerald Parkway Phase 8). Design of this roadway was substantially completed by 2010. The right -of -way acquisition has spanned multiple years and is now substantially complete (legislation appropriating some of the parcels was necessary). The relocation of utilities along Bright Road is currently underway, such that upon the contract being awarded, construction may begin. Repayment of this debt is expected to be from service payments received in the Kroger and McKitrick TIFs. ■ Ordinance 88 -13 will provide funding of up to $9 million for the design and right -of -way acquisition related to the I- 270 /US 33 interchange, including the widening of US 33 from I270 to Avery- Muirfield Drive. As Council is aware, the City of Dublin committed $17.25 million toward the interchange improvements; $5.75 million for the preliminary engineering and detailed design, $3.5 million for right -of -way acquisition, and $8 million for construction. Staff has worked closely with ODOT to determine a timeline for when the funds will be needed. Based on the amounts the City has already paid to the State of Ohio (approximately $3.053 million) and the $5.5 million additional needed in late 2013 /early 2014 for detailed design and right -of -way, staff believes that the $9 million is sufficient. The City is considering the use of the State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) program for funding of the construction. Those funds are not anticipated to be needed until 4"' quarter of 2014. Repayment of this debt is expected to be from service payments received in the Ruscilli and Upper Metro TIFs. Memo re. Ordinances 87 -13, 88 -13, 89 -13 and 90 -13 — Providing for the Issuance and Sale of Bonds October 31, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Ordinance 89 -13 provides funding up to $5.7 million for land acquisition costs associated with the future roundabout at Riverside Drive and SR 161. Bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the General Fund for the advance made in 2013 for the purchase of approximately 5.1 acres for right -of -way located at the northeast corner of Riverside Drive and SR 161 (Bridge Pointe) as well the advance made in 2013 from the Capital Improvements Tax Fund for the purchase of 2.37 acres at the southeast of Riverside Drive and West Dublin- Granville Road from Wendy's International, Inc. (of which the closing is anticipated by mid - 2014). Construction of the roundabout is currently programmed in 2015. Repayment of this debt is expected from service payments received in the River Ridge and future Bridge Street area TIF funds. Staff has also been evaluating the opportunity to refinance the City's existing Build America Bonds (BABs). As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, BABs provided the option for municipalities to issue taxable bonds and receive a Federal government subsidy equal to 35% of the interest costs (traditionally, municipalities issue tax - exempt bonds that pay a lower rate of interest because the interest income paid to the buyer is exempt from federal and state taxes). In 2009, the City issued bonds, which included $11,690,000 in BABs to fund COIC Improvements, including the relocation of Industrial Parkway and the improvements to S.R. 161, sanitary sewer improvements, and the construction of the Darree Fields storage tank. As Council was previously made aware, the federal sequestration went into effect on March 1, 2013, which called for $1.2 trillion in cuts to spending applied across all affected categories. The sequestration impacted the subsidy payments on BABs, including those that were issued by the City of Dublin. In 2013, the City expected to receive two subsidy payments -- each prior to the June 1 and December 1 debt service due dates and each in the amount of $101,898. The payment received prior to the June 1 due date was $8,865 less than the amount originally expected. The IRS has since announced that for fiscal year 2014, in which the credit for the December 1, 2013 debt payment would be included, the amount of the refundable credit will be reduced by 7.2 %. That will result in a $7,336 reduction over the amount anticipated. Furthermore, due to the government shutdown that occurred earlier this month, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the City's Bond Registrar, has indicated that significant delays in receiving the refundable credit are anticipated and as a result, issuers should fund 100% of the debt service. The benefit of refunding the BABs is two -fold: first, based on market conditions at this time, it appears that refunding the BABs will result in a reduction of interest costs; secondly, the City can divest itself from this type of bond that is continually subject to Federal government discretion. • Ordinance 90 -13 will provide funding up to $12.5 million to refund the existing BABs. Based on preliminary debt schedules run by the City's underwriter on October 22, 2013, the net present value savings from interest rate savings is expected to be approximately $302,000, or 2.58 %. While the general Yule of thumb" is that the present value savings Memo re. Ordinances 87 -13, 88 -13, 89 -13 and 90 -13 — Providing for the Issuance and Sale of Bonds October 31, 2013 Page 3 of 3 should be at least 3 to 5 percent, based on the reasons stated above, staff believes it is in the best interests of the City to refund these bonds. The bonds authorized by Ordinances 87 -13 and 89 -13 will be amortized over a 20 -year period; Ordinance 88 -13 over a 10 -year period; and Ordinance 90 -13 over a 16 -year period (based on the original amortization schedule) with an estimated net interest cost of 3.2 %. As Council was previously made aware, staff is requesting emergency language at the second reading /public hearing on November 18, 2013. This will allow for the City to close on a portion of the bonds in 2013 and the remaining portion in 2014 in order to take advantage of favorable tax treatment that will result in savings to the City. Based on adoption of Ordinances 87 -13 through 90 -13 at the November 18, 2013 meeting, staff would anticipate scheduling discussions with the rating agencies, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, for late- November, followed by pricing in early December with closing in mid - December and early January. Recommendation Staff is requesting approval of Ordinances 87 -13, 88 -13, 89 -13 and 90 -13 by emergency at the second reading /public hearing on November 18, 2013.
