On behalf of the City, I make the following declaration of official intent under the federal Jeimbursement regulations: 1 Desqiption of Project for Wbich Expenditures are to be Made· The City intends to make (and/or, not more than 60 days before the date of this declaration, has made) expenditures, and reasonably expects to reimburse itself for those expenditures from proceeds of bonds, for the following project, property, or program (the "Project") described as [insert description]: 2. Maximum Principal .Amount of Obliptjons Expected to be Issued for the Project The City exj>ects that the maxunum principal amount of bonds that will be issued to finance the Project Will be $ ______ _ 3. Declaration Reasonable. I have reviewed the existing and reasonably foreseeable budgetary and financial circumstances of the City, and have determined that the City reasonably expects to reimburse itself for expenditures for the Project from proceeds of bonds because the City has no funds available that already are, or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long·term basis, or otherwise set aside by the City for those expenditures on the Project 4. Limitations on Uses of Reimbursem.ent Amounts· The City will not, within one year after the expected reimbursement, use amounts corresponding to proceeds received from bonds issued in the future to reimburse the City for previously paid expenditures for the Project in any manner that results m those amounts being treated as replacement proceeds of any tax exempt bonds, i.e., as a result of being deposited in a reserve fund, pledged fund, sinking fund, or similar fund (other than a bona fide debt service fund) that is expected to be used to pay principal of or interest on tax exempt bonds. The City will use those amounts in any manner that employs an abusive arbitrage device to avoid arbitrage restrictions. 5 4 Date of Declaration.
