| | | | | | | | | A) | Board Action and Other History | | | The Lee County Port Authority has / will incur expenditures for a variety of projects as part of its capital improvement program. A list of such projects is provided in Exhibit A to the reimbursement resolution that is attached. The Port Authority seeks to reimburse certain costs within the capital improvement program utilizing proceeds from future tax-exempt debt.
The U.S. Department of Treasury has various regulations in regard to reimbursement of government costs through the issuance of tax-exempt debt. One such regulation requires the governmental entity to declare its intent to seek reimbursement for project expenditures for a future borrowing. This declaration allows an issuer to make capital expenditures for a project(s) while preparations are being made to secure financing. The attached resolution provided for Board approval serves as declaration of intent. |
