WHEREAS, the County of Woodbury, State of Iowa (the “Issuer”), is a county and political subdivision authorized and empowered by the provisions of Chapter 419 of the Code of Iowa, 2022, as amended (the “Act”), to issue revenue bonds or notes for a project located within, or within eight miles of, the Issuer for the purpose of financing the cost of acquiring, by construction or purchase, land, buildings, improvements and equipment, or any interest therein, suitable for the use of any facility for an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code”) which is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code (a "Tax Exempt Organization”), to refund any bonds issued pursuant to the Act, and to retire any existing indebtedness on a facility for a Tax Exempt Organization; and
WHEREAS, Issuer has been requested by Siouxland Health Services, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a Tax Exempt Organization, to issue its Mental Health Center Revenue Bonds (Siouxland Mental Health Center Project), Series 2022 (the “Bonds”), in one or more series, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4,000,000 for the following purposes: (1) to finance all or a portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing, improving, equipping and furnishing a mental health clinic facility (the “Project”) to be located at 4265 Sergeant Road, Sioux City, Iowa 51106; and (2) to pay for certain costs of issuance of the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, it is proposed to finance the foregoing through the issuance of the Bonds and to loan the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to the Borrower pursuant to a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which loan payments will be made by the Borrower in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds, as and when the same shall be due; and
WHEREAS, the Bonds, if issued, shall be limited obligations of the Issuer, and shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers, and the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds shall be payable solely out of the revenues derived from the aforementioned Loan Agreement or otherwise as provided therein; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to published notice of intention, this Board has conducted a public hearing, as required by Section 419.9 of the Act and Section 147(f) of the Code, and this Board deems it necessary and advisable to proceed with the issuance of the Bonds and the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds to the Borrower; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has arranged for the placement of the Bonds by UMB Bank, n.a. (the “Placement Agent”), such placement to be made pursuant to one or more placement agreements (together the “Bond Placement Agreement”) setting forth the original purchasers, the final maturities, interest rates and terms of the Bonds.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED by the Board of the Issuer, as follows:
Section 1. That, in order to finance a portion of the costs of the Project, and to pay a portion of the costs of issuance of the Bonds, the Bonds be and the same are hereby authorized and ordered to be issued pursuant to the Indenture of Trust (the “Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and UMB Bank, n.a., a national banking association (the “Trustee”), in substantially the form as has been presented to and considered by this Board and containing substantially the terms and provisions set forth therein, and the forms, terms and provisions of the Bonds and the Indenture are hereby approved, with such changes therein as shall be approved by the officers of the Issuer executing the same, and with changes, modifications, additions and deletions thereto as may be made in connection with the placement of the Bonds, and the Chairperson and the County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Indenture, and the Chairperson and the County Auditor are further authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Bonds as provided in the Indenture, including the use of facsimile signatures as therein provided. It is the intent hereof that the Bonds be issued in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4,000,000. The Bonds shall bear interest at rates which result in a yield on the Bonds of each series of not to exceed 7.00% per annum and shall mature on the dates and in the amounts and shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such dates and in such amounts as shall be finally determined by the Borrower and the Placement Agent. The execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Chairperson and the County Auditor shall constitute approval by this Board and the Issuer of the final terms and provisions of the Bonds, including the final principal amount thereof, the interest rates thereon, the dates and amounts of maturities thereof and the redemption provisions relating thereto.
Section 2. That the Issuer loan the proceeds of the Bonds to the Borrower for the purposes set out in the preamble hereof, such loan of the proceeds of the Bonds to be pursuant to the Loan Agreement by and between the Issuer and the Borrower, in substantially the form as has been presented to and considered by this Board and containing substantially the terms and provisions set forth therein, and the form, terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement are hereby approved, with such changes therein as shall be approved by the officers of the Issuer executing the same, and with changes, modifications, additions and deletions thereto as may be made in connection with the marketing of the Bonds, and the Chairperson and the County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Loan Agreement.
Section 3. That the Chairperson and the County Auditor are authorized to execute and deliver the Bond Placement Agreement in substantially the form as submitted to and on file with the Issuer with such changes therein as determined at the time of the placement of the Bonds and agreed by the parties, all of which shall be deemed to be approved by the Issuer upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Chairperson and the County Auditor.
Section 4. That the use by the Placement Agent of a preliminary Private Placement Request and final Private Placement Request in connection with the placement of the Bonds in form approved by counsel to the Issuer is hereby approved.
Section 5. That it is hereby found, determined and declared that the Bonds will be special limited obligations of the Issuer. The principal of and interest and premium, if any, shall be payable solely and only from the revenues derived from the Loan Agreement and the debt obligations of the Borrower delivered pursuant thereto; and no part of the cost of financing the Project will be payable out of the general funds or other contributions of the Issuer (except the proceeds of the Bonds and any subsequent issues of bonds permitted under the Loan Agreement and the Indenture). The Bonds shall never constitute the debt or indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or limitation, and shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers. No holder of the Bonds shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the Issuer to pay the Bonds.
Section 6. That the Issuer hereby finds, determines and declares, pursuant to Section 419.5 of the Act, that based upon information provided by the Placement Agent and the Borrower, the amount necessary in each year to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds proposed to be issued is set forth in the Loan Agreement and the debt obligations of the Borrower delivered pursuant thereto as a formula which will insure that the Borrower is obligated to pay amounts sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and the payment of such amounts by the Borrower to the Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement is hereby authorized, approved and confirmed.
Section 7. That the Chairperson and County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver any and all documents and do any and all things deemed necessary to effect the issuance and sale of the Bonds and the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Indenture and the Bond Placement Agreement, and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Resolution, including the preamble hereto; are hereby authorized and directed and the execution by the Chairperson and, if required, the County Auditor, of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and the Bond Placement Agreement with the approval of the Issuer’s counsel shall constitute conclusive evidence of their approval and this Board’s approval thereof and of any and all changes, modifications, additions or deletions therein from the respective forms thereof now before this meeting.
Section 8. For the sole purpose of qualifying the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” pursuant to Section 265(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Issuer designates the Bonds in an amount not to exceed $4,000,000 (or such other amount so that together with the amount of any other tax-exempt obligations issued in calendar year 2022, such amount does not exceed $10 million) as qualified tax-exempt obligations and represents that the reasonably anticipated amount of “tax-exempt obligations” (including the Bonds) which will be issued by the Issuer during the current calendar year 2022 will not exceed $10 million. The foregoing designation may be modified by the Issuer’s closing certificate delivered at the time of issuance of the Bonds.
Section 9. That the provisions of this Resolution are hereby declared to be separable and if any action, phrase or provision shall for any reason by declared to be invalid, such declaration shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the sections, phrases and provisions.
Section 10. All resolutions or parts thereof in conflict herewith are repealed, to the extent of such conflict.
Section 11. That this Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and approval.
Passed and approved November 15, 2022.
