YVHEREAS, the County has the power, pursuant to the General Statutes of North Carolina to (I) purchase real and personal property, (2) enter into installment financing contracts in order to fmance the purchase of real and personal property used, or to be used, for public pmposes, and (3) grant a security interest in some or an of the property purchased to secure repayment of the purchase price; YVHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Board of Commissioners') determines that it is in the best interest of the County to enter into an installment purchase contract (the "Contract') with a financial institution to be determined in order to pay the capital costs of construction and equipping of improvements to the sanitary sewer system of the Southwest Water and Sewer District of the County of Harnett, North Carolina (the "Facilities') and create a security interest in the property related thereto; YVHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the acquisition of the Facilities is essential to the County's proper, efficient and economic operation and to the general health and welfare of its inhabitants; that the Facilities will provide an essential use and will permit the County to carry out public functions that it is authorized by law to perform; and that entering into the Contract and Deed of Trust is necessary and expedient for the County by virtue of the findings presented herein; WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the Contract allows the County to purchase the Facilities and take title thereto at a favorable interest rate currently available in the financial marketplace and on terms advantageous to the County; WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated cost of the acquisition of the Facilities is an amount not to exceed $2,100,000 and that such cost of the acquisition of the Facilities exceeds the amount that can be prudently raised from currently available appropriations, unappropriated fund balances and non-voted bonds that could be issued by the County in the current fiscal year pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State; WHEREAS, although the cost of the acquisition of the Facilities pursuant to the Contract is expected to exceed the cost of the acquisition of the Facilities pursuant to a bond fmancing for the same undertaking, the County hereby detennines that the cost of the acquisition of the Facilities pursuant to the Contract and Deed of Trust and the obligations of the County thereunder are preferable to a general obligation bond financing or revenue bond financing for several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) the cost of a special election necessary to approve a general obligation bond financing, as required by the laws of the State, would result in the expenditure of significant funds; and (2) the time required for a general obligation bond election would cause an mmecessary delay which would thereby decrease the financial benefits of acquiring, constructing, improving and equipping the Facilities; WHEREAS, the County has detennined and hereby determines that the estimated cost of the acquisition of the Facilities pursuant to the Contract reasonably compares with an estimate of similar costs under a bond financing for the same undertaking as a result of the fmdings delineated in the above preambles; WHEREAS, the County does not anticipate a future property tax increase to pay installment payments falling due under the Contract; WHEREAS, the sums to fall due under the Contract will be adequate but not excessive for its proposed purpose; WHEREAS, Parker Pee Adams & Bernstein L.L.P., as special counsel ("Special Counsel"), will each render an opinion to the effect that entering into the Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby are authorized by law; WHEREAS, no deficiency judgment may be rendered against the County in any action for its breach of the Contract, and the taxing power of the County is not and may not be pledged in any way directly or indirectly or contingently to secure any moneys due under the Contract; WHEREAS, the County is not in default under any of its debt service obligations; WHEREAS, the County's budget process and Annual Budget Ordinance are in compliance with the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act, and external auditors have determined that the County has conformed with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units in preparing its Annual Budget ordinance; WHEREAS, past audit reports of the- County indicate that its debt management and contract obligation payment policies have been carried out in strict compliance with the law, and the County has not been censured by the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the "LGC"), external auditors or any other regulatory agencies 1 in connection with such debt management and contract obligation payment policies; WHEREAS, a public hearing on the Contract after publication of a notice with respect to such public hearing must be held and approval of the LGC with respect to entering the Contract must be received; and WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that all findings, conclusions and determinations of the County in this Resolution are subject to modification or affrrmation after all interested parties have been afforded the opportunity to present their comments at a public hearing regarding the execution and delivery of the Contract and the acquisition of the Facilities to be fmanced thereby.
