BE IT RESOLVED, by the Town Board (by the favorable vote of not less than two-thirds of all the members of the Board) as follows:

 

The specific purpose (hereinafter referred to as “purpose”) to be financed pursuant to this resolution is the Increase and Improvement of facilities of the Consolidated Sewer District and Sanitary Sewer District No. 5 (the “Districts”) in the Town of Grand Island.  The maximum cost of said purpose will not exceed $800,000.

 

The Town Board plans to finance the maximum estimated cost of said purpose by the issuance of serial bonds in an amount not to exceed $800,000 of said Town, hereby authorized to be issued therefore pursuant to the Local Finance Law, said amount to be offset by any federal, state, county and/or local grants.  The cost of such improvement is to be paid by the issuance of serial bonds, and by the assessment, levy and collection of assessments from the several lots and parcels of land within the Districts which the Town Board shall determine and specify to be especially benefited thereby, so much upon and from each as shall be in just proportion to the amount of benefit conferred upon the same, to pay the principal of and interest on such bonds as the same become due and payable, except as provided by law.

It is hereby determined that said purpose is an object or purpose described in subdivision 4 of paragraph (a) of Section 11.00 of the Local Finance Law, and that the period of probable usefulness of said purpose is forty (40) years.

Current funds are not required to be provided prior to the issuance of the bonds authorized by this resolution or any notes issued in anticipation of the sale of said bonds.

It is hereby determined the proposed maturity of the obligations authorized by this resolution will be in excess of five years.

The faith and credit of said Town are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on such bonds 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 bonds becoming due and payable in such year.  There shall be the assessment, levy and collection of special assessments from the several lots and parcels of land within the Districts which the Town Board shall determine and specify to be especially benefited thereby, so much upon and from each as shall be in just proportion to the amount of benefit conferred upon the same, to pay the principal of and interest on such bonds as the same become due and payable, except as provided by law.

Subject to the provisions of this resolution and of the Local Finance Law, pursuant to the provisions of Section 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 Town Board 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 bonds herein authorized and of any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of said bonds, and the renewals of said notes, are hereby delegated to the Town Supervisor, the chief fiscal officer of the Town.

The Town has issued a negative declaration determining that the undertaking of the Improvement Project will not have a significant effect on the environment.

 

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:

 

a)            Such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which said Town is not authorized to expend money, or if 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 Said obligations are authorized in violation of the provisions of the Constitution of New York.

This Resolution is effective immediately.  The Town Clerk 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 a newspaper having a general circulation in said Town and designated as the official newspaper of said Town for such publication.
