The Issuer hereby states its intention and reasonably expects to reimburse the City or the Agency for Project costs incurred prior to the issuance of the Obligations with proceeds of the Obligations. Exhibit A describes either the general character, type, purpose, and function of the Project, or the fund or account from which Project costs are to be paid and the general functional purpose of the fund or account. SECTION 2. The reasonably expected maximum principal amount of the Obligations is $8,000,000, with respect to the Project described at Exhibit A. SECTION 3. This Resolution is being adopted no later than sixty (60) days after the date (the "Expenditures Date or Dates ") that the City or Agency will expend monies for the portion of the Project costs to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Obligations. SECTION 4. Except as described below, the expected date of issue of the Obligations will be within eighteen months of the later of the Expenditure Date or Dates and the date the Project is placed in service; provided, the reimbursement may not be made more than three years after the original expenditure is paid. DOC S OC/ 1396446v3/022363-0004 SECTION 5. Proceeds of the Obligations to be used to reimburse for Project costs are not expected to be used, within one year of reimbursement, directly or indirectly to pay debt service with respect to any obligation (other than to pay current debt service coming due within the next succeeding one year period on any tax - exempt obligation of the Issuer (other than the Obligations)) or to be held as a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund with respect to an obligation of the Issuer or any entity related in any manner to the Issuer, or to reimburse any expenditure that was originally paid with the proceeds of any obligation, or to replace funds that are or will be used in such manner. SECTION 6. No monies from sources other than the Obligation issue are, or are reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long -term basis, or otherwise set aside by the Issuer (or any related party) pursuant to its budget or financial policies with respect to the Project costs. To the best of its knowledge, this Governing Board of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency is not aware of the previous adoption of official intents by the Issuer that have been made as a matter of course for the purpose of reimbursing expenditures and for which tax - exempt obligations have not been issued. SECTION 7. The limitations described in Section 3 and Section 4 do not apply to (a) costs of issuance of the Obligations, (b) an amount not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or five percent (5 %) of the proceeds of the Obligations, or (c) any preliminary expenditures, such as architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction, not in excess of twenty percent (20 %) of the aggregate issue price of the Obligations that finances the Project for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. SECTION 8. This Resolution is adopted as official action of the Issuer in order to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.150 -2 and any other regulations of the Internal Revenue Service relatir to the qualification for reimbursement of Issuer expenditures incurred prior to the date of issue of the Obligations, is part of the Issuer's official proceedings, and will be available for inspection by the general public at the main administrative office of the Issuer. SECTION 9. All the recitals in this Resolution are true and correct and this Governing Board of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency so finds, determines and represents. 2 DOC SOC/ 1396446v3/022363 -0004 THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION IS PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY THIS TWENTY - THIRD (23 DAY OF MARCH, 2010, BY THE FOLLOWING ROLL -CALL VOTE: AYES: Mayor Pringle, Council Members Sidhu, Hernandez, Gallaway, Kring NOES: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: NONE AT OTY CLERK jv APPROVED AS TO FORM: STRADLING YOCCA CARLSON & RAUTH, as Bond Counsel By: )V D AS TO FORM: TINA` L. , LLEY, CITY ATTORNEY Assistant City Attorney 3 DOCSOC/ 13 96446v3/022363 -0004 EXHIBIT A DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Downtown Capital Improvements: • Landscaping Improvements ($691,000) — landscaping improvements on east side of Olive and south side of South Street • Colony Park Public Park ($1,200,000) — Construction of new neighborhood park • Interior Street Improvements Colony Park Phase II ($1,065,000) • Interior Street Improvements Colony Park Phase III ($1,562,000) • Santa Ana Street Improvements ($800,000) • Sound Wall (Valencia to Water) ($200,000) and (Water to Santa Ana) ($370,000) • Quiet Zone ($850,000) — Improvement to railroad crossings throughout Colony Park Neighborhood • Packing House Block and associated improvements ($1,000,000) 4 DOCSOC/ 1396446v3/022363 -0004
