          SECTION 1.       The specific purpose (hereinafter referred to as “purpose”) to be financed pursuant to this resolution is the acquisition of four (4) school buses.  The maximum cost of said purpose will not exceed $360,000.

 

          SECTION 2.       The Board of Education plans to finance the School District’s maximum estimated cost of said purpose by the issuance of a serial bond or bonds in an amount not to exceed $360,000 of the School District, hereby authorized to be issued therefor pursuant to the Local Finance Law, and to provide for the payment of the principal of and interest on such bonds, the levying of a tax on the real property of the School District, to be paid in annual installments as approved by the qualified voters of the School District voting at the Annual Meeting of the School District held this past May 15, 2007.

 

          SECTION 3.       It is hereby determined that said purpose is an object or purpose described in subdivision 29 of paragraph (a) of Section 11.00 of the Local Finance Law, and that the period of probable usefulness of said purpose is five (5) years.

 

          SECTION 4.       The faith and credit of said School District are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on such bond as the same respectively become due and payable.  An annual appropriation shall be made in each year sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such bond becoming due and payable in such year.  There shall annually be levied on all the taxable real property of said School District, a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such bond as the same become due and payable.

 

          SECTION 5.       Subject to the provisions of this resolution and of the Local Finance Law, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 30.00 relative to the authorization of the issuance of bond anticipation notes or the renewals of said notes and of Section 21.00, Section 50.00, Sections 56.00 to 60.00, Section 62.00 and Section 63.00 of the Local Finance Law, the powers and duties of the Board of Education pertaining or incidental to the sale and issuance of the obligations herein authorized, including but not limited to authorizing bond anticipation notes and prescribing the terms, form and contents and as to the sale and issuance of the bond herein authorized and of any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of said bond, and the renewals of said notes, are hereby delegated to the President of the Board of Education, the chief fiscal officer of the School District.

 

          SECTION 6.       The President of the Board of Education is further authorized to take such actions and execute such documents as may be necessary to ensure the continued status of the interest on the bond authorized by this resolution, and any notes issued in anticipation thereof, as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to designate the bond authorized by this resolution, and any notes issued in anticipation thereof as a “qualified tax-exempt bond” in accordance with Section 265(b)(3)(B)(i) of the Code.

          SECTION 8.       The School District hereby determines that the acquisition of four (4) school buses is a Type II action that will not have a significant effect on the environment, and, therefore, no other determination or procedure under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQR”) is required.

 

          SECTION 9.       The expected source of funds to be used initially to pay for up to $360,000 of the expenditures authorized by Section 1 of this resolution shall be from the School District’s General Fund.  The School District then reasonably expects to reimburse any such expenditure with the proceeds of the bond or bond anticipation notes authorized by Section 2 of this resolution.  This resolution shall constitute the declaration of the School District’s “official intent” to reimburse the expenditures authorized by Section 1 hereof with the proceeds of the bonds and notes authorized herein, as required by United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2.

 

          SECTION 10.     The validity of said serial bonds or of any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the sale of said serial bonds may be contested only if:

 

          (1)        (a)          Such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which said School District is not authorized to expend money, or

 

                      (b)          The provisions of law which should be complied with at the date of publication of this resolution are not substantially complied with,

 

and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of such publication; or

 

          (2)        Said obligations are authorized in violation of the provisions of the Constitution of New York.

 

          SECTION 11.     The Clerk of the School District is hereby authorized and directed to publish this resolution, or a summary thereof, together with a notice in substantially the form provided by Section 81.00 of said Local Finance Law, in the official newspaper or newspapers having a general circulation in said School District and hereby designated as the official newspaper of said School District for such publication.
