The Treasurer advised the Board that the notice requirements of Section 121.22 of the Revised Code and the implementing rules adopted by the Board pursuant thereto were complied with for the meeting. 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

“Revised Code”), has completed an analysis and prepared recommendations pertaining to certain

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

noted in Exhibit A for performing the Work; and

WHEREAS, this Board now desires to enter into agreements with the Contractors to

Section 1. Authorized Principal Amount of Anticipated Bonds and Purpose. It is

necessary to issue bonds of this School District in the aggregate principal amount of $850,000 (the

Bonds) to provide funds to pay costs of improving the High School stadium by constructing an all-

equipping and furnishing the stadium and its site, in each case together with necessary

appurtenances and work incidental thereto.

Section 2. Estimated Bond Terms. The Bonds shall be dated approximately November 1,

2012, shall bear interest at the now estimated rate of 3% per year, payable semiannually until the

principal amount is paid, and are estimated to mature in ten annual principal installments that are

such that the total principal and interest payments on the Bonds in each fiscal year in which

principal is payable are substantially equal to the total principal and interest payments on the Bonds

in each other such fiscal year. The first installment of interest on the Bonds is estimated to be paid

not more than sixty days earlier than December 12, 2012, by setting forth that maturity date in the

certificate awarding the Notes in accordance with Section 6 of this Resolution (the Certificate of

Award). The Notes shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed 3% per year (computed on the basis of

a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), payable at maturity and until the principal

amount is paid or payment is provided for. The rate of interest on the Notes shall be determined by

the Treasurer in the Certificate of Award.

Section 4. Payment of Debt Charges; Paying Agent. The debt charges on the Notes shall

be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, or in Federal Reserve funds of the

United States of America if so requested by the original purchaser, and shall be payable, without

deduction for services of the School District’s paying agent, at the principal corporate trust office of

The Huntington National Bank, Columbus, Ohio (the Paying Agent).

Section 5. Execution of Notes; Book Entry System. The Notes shall be signed by the

President or the Vice-President and Treasurer of this Board in the name of the School District and in

their official capacities, provided that one of those signatures may be a facsimile. The Notes shall

be issued in the denominations and numbers as requested by the original purchaser and approved by

the Treasurer; provided that the entire principal amount may be represented by a single note. The

Notes may be issued as fully registered securities (for which the Treasurer will serve as note

registrar) and in book entry or other uncertificated form in accordance with Section 9.96 and

Chapter 133 of the Revised Code, with a single physical note certificate representing the entire issue

(or the consolidated issue into which it is combined with one or more other note issues of the School

District in accordance with Section 6 of this resolution), if it is determined by the Treasurer that

issuance of fully registered securities in that form will facilitate the sale and delivery of the Notes.

The Notes shall not have coupons attached, shall be numbered as determined by the Treasurer and

shall express upon their faces the purpose, in summary terms, for which they are issued and that

they are issued pursuant to Chapter 133 of the Revised Code and this Resolution.

As used in this Section and this Resolution:

“Book entry form” or “book entry system” means a form or system under which (i) the

ownership of beneficial interests in the Notes and the principal of, and interest on, the Notes (book

entry interests) may be transferred only through a book entry, and (ii) a single physical Note

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

effect transfers of the Notes, in book entry form, and includes and means initially The Depository

Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.

15

“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

corporations.

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

system maintained and operated by the Depository and its Participants, and transfers of the

ownership of book entry interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its

Participants; and (iv) the Notes as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer

to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by the School

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

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; 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

16

consolidated issue is $1,000,000 or more, no note of that issue shall be issued in a denomination less

than $100,000 or be exchangeable for other notes in denominations less than $100,000.

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

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

18

estimates on which they are based, and other facts and circumstances relevant to the tax treatment of

the interest on and the tax status of the Notes.

Section 11. Retention of Counsel. The legal services of the law firm of Squire Sanders

(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

the Treasurer. In providing those legal services, as an independent contractor and in an attorney-

client relationship, that firm shall not exercise any administrative discretion on behalf of this Board

in the formulation of public policy, expenditure of public funds, enforcement of laws, rules and

regulations of the State, any county or municipal corporation or of this Board, or the execution of

public trusts. For those legal services that firm shall be paid just and reasonable compensation and

shall be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing those legal services.

The Treasurer is authorized and directed to sign and deliver the engagement letter, and to make

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

issue an appropriate order for their timely payment as written statements are submitted by that firm.

deliver or cause to be delivered a certified copy of this Resolution to the Cuyahoga County Fiscal

binding general obligations of the Shaker Heights City School District have been performed and

have been met, or will at the time of delivery of the Notes have been performed or have been met, in

regular and due form as required by law; that the full faith credit and general taxing power (as

described in Section 9 hereof) of the School District are pledged for the timely payment of the debt

charges on the Notes; and that no statutory or constitutional limitation of indebtedness or taxation

will have been exceeded in the issuance of the Notes.

determines that all formal actions of this Board and any of its committees concerning and relating to

the adoption of this Resolution were taken, and that all deliberations of this Board and any of its

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.
