A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AGREEMENTS FOR PROVIDING THE INSTALLATION OF CERTAIN ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES AND RELATED SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT’S HOUSE BILL 264 PROJECT.
WHEREAS, Architectural Vision Group, Ltd., a firm experienced in the design of energy
conservation measures, as defined in Section 3313.372(A) of the Ohio Revised Code (the

installations, modifications of installations and/or remodeling (the “Work”) that would
significantly reduce energy consumption and operational/maintenance costs in School District
buildings; and
WHEREAS, the House Bill 264 Project Report prepared by Architectural Vision Group,
Ltd. (the “Report”), includes estimates of all costs of such Work, including costs of design,
engineering, installation, maintenance, rebates, repairs and interest, and concludes that energy
consumption and resultant operational and maintenance costs, as defined by the Ohio School
Facilities Commission (the “Commission”), would be reduced; and
WHEREAS, this Board, after receiving that Report, having found that the amount of
money the School District would spend on such Work is not likely to exceed the amount of
money it would save in energy and resultant operational and maintenance costs over the ensuing
15 years, submitted to the Commission its findings and requested approval to participate in the
School Energy Conservation Financing Program (the “Program”); and
WHEREAS, on June 28, 2012, the Commission adopted a Resolution approving the
School District’s participation in the Program; and
WHEREAS, the Board, with the assistance of Architectural Vision Group, Ltd., solicited
proposals from contractors capable of performing the Work; and

certificate in fully registered form is issued by the School District only to a Depository or its
nominee, with such Note deposited with and retained in the custody of the Depository or its agent
for that purpose. The book entry maintained by others than the School District is the record that
identifies the owners of beneficial interests in the Notes and that principal and interest.
“Depository” means any securities depository that is a clearing agency under federal law
operating and maintaining, with its Participants or otherwise, a book entry system to record
ownership of book entry interests in the Notes or the principal of, or interest on, the Notes and to

Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.
![Page 15: BOARD OF EDUCATION · Upon the recommendation of Superintendent Mark Freeman, Mr. Clawson moved, seconded by Mr. Harris that the following personnel items be approved: PERSONNEL Certified](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050605/5fac2cc37f85a03ca30de496/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

“Participant” means any participant contracting with a Depository under a book entry
system and includes security brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, and clearing

The Notes may be issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system and, if and as long
as a book entry system is utilized, (i) the Notes may be issued in the form of a single Note registered
in the name of and made payable to the Depository or its nominee and deposited with and retained
in the custody of the Depository or its agent for that purpose (which may be the Paying Agent); (ii)
the owners of book entry interests shall have no right to receive the Notes in the form of physical
securities or certificates; (iii) ownership of book entry interests shall be shown by book entry on the

District.
If any Depository determines not to continue to act as a Depository for the Notes for use in a
book entry system, the Treasurer may attempt to establish a securities depository/book entry
relationship with another qualified Depository. If the Treasurer does not or is unable to do so, the
Treasurer, after making provision for notification of the book entry interest owners by the then
Depository and any other arrangements deemed necessary, shall permit withdrawal of the Notes
from the Depository, and shall cause the Notes in bearer or payable to order form to be signed by
the officers authorized to sign the Notes and delivered to the assigns of the Depository or its
nominee, all at the cost and expense (including any costs of printing), if the event is not the result of
School District action or inaction, of those persons requesting such issuance.
The Treasurer is also hereby authorized and directed, to the extent necessary or required, to
enter into any agreements determined necessary in connection with the book entry system for the
Notes, after determining that the signing thereof will not endanger the funds or securities of the
School District.
Section 6. Award and Sale of the Notes. The Notes shall be sold by the Treasurer to
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, at private sale at a purchase price not less than par plus
accrued interest, in accordance with law and the provisions of this Resolution. The Treasurer shall

with reference to the issuance of the Notes if requested by the original purchaser, to the original
purchaser upon payment of the purchase price. The President and Vice-President of this Board, the
Treasurer and the Superintendent of Schools, as appropriate, are each authorized and directed to
sign any transcript certificates, financial statements and other documents and instruments and to
take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Resolution. The Treasurer is authorized, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the
School District, to combine the issue of Notes with one or more other unvoted general obligation
bond anticipation note issues of the School District into a consolidated note issue pursuant to
Section 133.30(B) of the Revised Code; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of the
![Page 16: BOARD OF EDUCATION · Upon the recommendation of Superintendent Mark Freeman, Mr. Clawson moved, seconded by Mr. Harris that the following personnel items be approved: PERSONNEL Certified](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050605/5fac2cc37f85a03ca30de496/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Treasurer shall also sign and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the School District, a
Note Purchase Agreement between the School District and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company,
Incorporated, in substantially the form as is now on file with the Treasurer, providing for the sale of
the Notes to, and the purchase of the Notes by, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated. The
Note Purchase Agreement is approved, together with any changes or amendments that are not
inconsistent with this Resolution and not substantially adverse to the School District and that are
approved by the Treasurer on behalf of the School District, all of which shall be conclusively
evidenced by the signing of the Note Purchase Agreement or amendments thereto.
Section 7. Application of Note Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes, except
any premium and accrued interest, shall be paid into the proper fund or funds, and those proceeds
are appropriated and shall be used for the purpose for which the Notes are being issued. Any
portion of those proceeds representing premium and accrued interest shall be paid into the Bond
Retirement Fund.
Section 8. Application and Pledge of Bond or Renewal Note Proceeds or Excess Funds.
The par value to be received from the sale of the Bonds or any renewal notes, and any excess funds
resulting from the issuance of the Notes shall, to the extent necessary, be used to pay debt charges
on the Notes at maturity and are pledged for that purpose.
Section 9. Provisions for Tax Levy. During the year or years in which the Notes are
outstanding, there shall be levied on all the taxable property in the School District, in addition to all
other taxes, the same tax that would have been levied if the Bonds had been issued without the prior
issuance of the Notes. 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 Notes or
the Bonds when and as the same fall due.
Section 10. Federal Tax Considerations. The Board and the School District covenant that
they will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Notes in such manner
and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Notes will not (i) constitute private activity
bonds or arbitrage bonds under Sections 141 or 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code) or (ii) be treated other than as bonds the interest on which is excluded from
gross income under Section 103 of the Code, and (b) the interest on the Notes will not be an item of
tax preference under Section 57 of the Code.
The Board and the School District further covenant that (a) they will take or cause to be
taken such actions that may be required of them for the interest on the Notes to be and remain
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (b) they will not take or authorize
to be taken any actions which would adversely affect that exclusion, and (c) they, or persons acting
![Page 17: BOARD OF EDUCATION · Upon the recommendation of Superintendent Mark Freeman, Mr. Clawson moved, seconded by Mr. Harris that the following personnel items be approved: PERSONNEL Certified](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050605/5fac2cc37f85a03ca30de496/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
for them, will, among other acts of compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Notes to the
governmental purpose of the borrowing, (ii) restrict the yield on investment property, (iii) make
timely and adequate payments to the federal government, (iv) maintain books and records and make
calculations and reports, and (v) refrain from certain uses of proceeds and, as applicable, of property
financed with such proceeds, all in such manner and to the extent necessary to assure such exclusion
of that interest under the Code.
The Notes are hereby designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In that connection, the Board and the School District hereby represent and covenant that the Board and the School District, together with all their subordinate
entities or entities that issue obligations on their behalf, or on behalf of which they issue obligations,
in or during the calendar year in which the Notes are issued (i) have not issued and will not issue
tax-exempt obligations designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, including the Notes, in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000 and
(ii) have not issued, do not reasonably anticipate issuing, and will not issue, tax-exempt obligations
(including the Notes, but excluding obligations, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in
Section 145 of the Code, that are private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code and excluding refunding obligations that are not advance refunding obligations as defined in Section
149(d)(5) of the Code) in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000, unless the School District
first obtains a written opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such designation or
issuance, as applicable, will not adversely affect the status of the Notes as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”. Further, the Board and the School District represent and covenant that, during any
time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Notes as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”,
neither the Board nor the School District has formed or participated in the formation of, or benefited
from or availed itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph (C) or (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and neither the Board nor the School District will form, participate in
the formation of, or benefit from or avail itself of, any such entity. The Board and the School
District further represent that the Notes are not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite
issue that combines issues or lots of tax-exempt obligations of different issuers.
The Treasurer, as the fiscal officer, or any other officer of this Board having responsibility
for issuance of the Notes is hereby authorized (a) to make or effect any election, selection,
designation, choice, consent, approval, or waiver on behalf of the School District with respect to the
Notes as the School District is permitted to or required to make or give under the federal income tax
laws, for the purpose of assuring, enhancing or protecting favorable tax treatment or status of the
Notes or interest thereon or assisting compliance with requirements for that purpose, reducing the
burden or expense of such compliance, reducing the rebate amount or payments or penalties, or
making payments of special amounts in lieu of making computations to determine, or paying,
excess earnings as rebate, or obviating those amounts or payments, as determined by that officer,
which action shall be in writing and signed by the officer, (b) to take any and all other actions, make
or obtain calculations, make payments, and make or give reports, covenants and certifications of and
on behalf of the Board and the School District, as may be appropriate to assure the exclusion of
interest from gross income and the intended tax status of the Notes, and (c) to give one or more
appropriate certificates of the Board and the School District, for inclusion in the transcript of
proceedings for the Notes, setting forth the reasonable expectations of the Board and the School
District regarding the amount and use of all the proceeds of the Notes, the facts, circumstances and
![Page 18: BOARD OF EDUCATION · Upon the recommendation of Superintendent Mark Freeman, Mr. Clawson moved, seconded by Mr. Harris that the following personnel items be approved: PERSONNEL Certified](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050605/5fac2cc37f85a03ca30de496/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

(US) LLP be and are hereby retained. Those legal services shall be in the nature of legal advice and
recommendations as to the documents and the proceedings in connection with the authorization,
sale and issuance of the Notes and rendering at delivery a related legal opinion, all as set forth in this
Resolution and the form of engagement letter dated as of July 10, 2012, now on file in the office of

appropriate certification as to the availability of funds for those fees and any reimbursement and to

Section 6. Award and Sale of the Notes. The Notes shall be sold by the Treasurer to
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, at private sale at a purchase price not less than par plus
accrued interest, in accordance with law and the provisions of this Resolution. The Treasurer shall
sign the Certificate of Award referred to in Section 3 evidencing that sale, cause the Notes to be
prepared, and have the Notes signed and delivered, together with a true transcript of proceedings
with reference to the issuance of the Notes if requested by the original purchaser, to the original
purchaser upon payment of the purchase price. The President and Vice-President of this Board, the
Treasurer and the Superintendent of Schools, as appropriate, are each authorized and directed to
sign any transcript certificates, financial statements and other documents and instruments and to
take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Resolution. The Treasurer is authorized, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the
School District, to combine the issue of Notes with one or more other unvoted general obligation
bond anticipation note issues of the School District into a consolidated note issue pursuant to
Section 133.30(B) of the Revised Code.
The Treasurer shall also sign and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the School District, a
Note Purchase Agreement between the School District and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company,
Incorporated, in substantially the form as is now on file with the Treasurer, providing for the sale of
the Notes to, and the purchase of the Notes by, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated. The
Note Purchase Agreement is approved, together with any changes or amendments that are not
inconsistent with this Resolution and not substantially adverse to the School District and that are
approved by the Treasurer on behalf of the School District, all of which shall be conclusively
evidenced by the signing of the Note Purchase Agreement or amendments thereto.
Section 7. Application of Note Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes, except
any premium and accrued interest, shall be paid into the proper fund or funds, and those proceeds
are appropriated and shall be used for the purpose for which the Notes are being issued. Any
portion of those proceeds representing premium and accrued interest shall be paid into the Bond
Retirement Fund.
Section 8. Application and Pledge of Bond or Renewal Note Proceeds or Excess Funds.
The par value to be received from the sale of the Bonds or any renewal notes, and any excess funds
resulting from the issuance of the Notes shall, to the extent necessary, be used to pay debt charges
on the Notes at maturity and are pledged for that purpose.
Section 9. Provisions for Tax Levy. During the year or years in which the Notes are
outstanding, there shall be levied on all the taxable property in the School District, in addition to all
other taxes, the same tax that would have been levied if the Bonds had been issued without the prior
issuance of the Notes. 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; provided, however, that in each year to the extent
money from a reduction in energy costs resulting from the improvement is available for the
payment of the debt charges on the Notes and Bonds and is appropriated for that purpose, the tax
shall be reduced by the amount of money so available and appropriated, it being intended by this

Board that such debt charges be paid from energy cost savings to the General Fund resulting from
the improvement. 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 Notes or the Bonds when and as
the same fall due.
Section 10. Federal Tax Considerations. The Board and the School District covenant that
they will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Notes in such manner
and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Notes will not (i) constitute private activity
bonds or arbitrage bonds under Sections 141 or 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code) or (ii) be treated other than as bonds the interest on which is excluded from
gross income under Section 103 of the Code, and (b) the interest on the Notes will not be an item of
tax preference under Section 57 of the Code.
The Board and the School District further covenant that (a) they will take or cause to be
taken such actions that may be required of them for the interest on the Notes to be and remain
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (b) they will not take or authorize
to be taken any actions which would adversely affect that exclusion, and (c) they, or persons acting
for them, will, among other acts of compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Notes to the
governmental purpose of the borrowing, (ii) restrict the yield on investment property, (iii) make
timely and adequate payments to the federal government, (iv) maintain books and records and make
calculations and reports, and (v) refrain from certain uses of proceeds and, as applicable, of property
financed with such proceeds, all in such manner and to the extent necessary to assure such exclusion
of that interest under the Code.
The Notes are hereby designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In that connection, the Board and the School District hereby
represent and covenant that the Board and the School District, together with all their subordinate
entities or entities that issue obligations on their behalf, or on behalf of which they issue obligations,
in or during the calendar year in which the Notes are issued (i) have not issued and will not issue
tax-exempt obligations designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code, including the Notes, in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000 and
(ii) have not issued, do not reasonably anticipate issuing, and will not issue, tax-exempt obligations
(including the Notes, but excluding obligations, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in
Section 145 of the Code, that are private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code and
excluding refunding obligations that are not advance refunding obligations as defined in Section
149(d)(5) of the Code) in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000, unless the School District
first obtains a written opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such designation or
issuance, as applicable, will not adversely affect the status of the Notes as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations”. Further, the Board and the School District represent and covenant that, during any
time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Notes as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”,
neither the Board nor the School District has formed or participated in the formation of, or benefited
from or availed itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph (C) or (D) of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and neither the Board nor the School District will form, participate in
the formation of, or benefit from or avail itself of, any such entity. The Board and the School
District further represent that the Notes are not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite
issue that combines issues or lots of tax-exempt obligations of different issuers.

on behalf of the Board and the School District, as may be appropriate to assure the exclusion of

appropriate certificates of the Board and the School District, for inclusion in the transcript of
proceedings for the Notes, setting forth the reasonable expectations of the Board and the School
