GENERAL PROVISIONS
101. Establishment of 2000 Revolving Fund. In order to implement the
continuation of the Revolving Fund Program and in accordance with Act 206, the
County hereby establishes a 2000 Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (the "Revolving
Fund") as a separate and segregated fund within the existing Delinquent Tax
Revolving Fund of the County previously established by the Board pursuant to
Section 87b of Act 206.
102. Issuance of Notes. The County shall issue its 2000 General
Obligation Limited Tax Notes in one or more series (the "Notes"), in accordance
with this Resolution and Sections 87c, 87d, 87e, 87f, 87g and 89 of Act 206,
payable in whole or in part from the Delinquent Taxes and/or from the other
sources specified below.
103. Aggregate Amount of Notes.
(a) The Notes shall be issued in an aggregate amount to be
determined by the Treasurer in accordance with this Section.
(b) The aggregate amount of the Notes shall not be less than the
amount by which the actual or estimated Delinquent Taxes exceeds (i) the
County's participating share of Delinquent Taxes, and (ii) any sums otherwise
available to fund the Tax Payment Account established under Section 702
(including any monies held in respect of Section 704(c)).
(c) The aggregate amount of the Notes shall not be greater than
the sum of (i) the actual amount of the Delinquent Taxes pledged to the payment
of debt service on the Notes, plus (ii) the amount determined by the Treasurer
to be allocated to a reserve fund. Original proceeds of the Notes devoted to a
reserve fund shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the amount reasonably required
for those of the Notes secured by the reserve fund, (B) 10% of the proceeds of
such Notes, (C) the maximum amount of annual debt service on such Notes, or (D)
125% of average annual debt service on such Notes.
(d) The aggregate amount of the Notes shall be designated by the
Treasurer by written order after (i) the amount of the Delinquent Taxes, or the
amount of Delinquent Taxes to be funded by the issuance of the Notes, has been
estimated or determined, and (ii) the amount of the reasonably required reserve
fund has been calculated. Delinquent Taxes shall be estimated based on
delinquencies experienced during the past three fiscal years and on demographic
and economic data relevant to the current tax year, and shall be determined
based on certification from each of the taxing units. The amount of the
reasonably required reserve fund shall be calculated pursuant to such analyses
and certificates as the Treasurer may request.
104. Proceeds. If the Notes are issued and sold before the Treasurer
has received certification from the taxing units of the amount of the
Delinquent Taxes and if such certification is not reasonably anticipated to
occur to allow distribution of the proceeds of the Notes within 20 days after

part of the County's 2000 Tax Payment Account, 2000 Note Reserve Account and/or
2000 Note Payment Account, subject to and in accordance with Article VII. If
the Notes are issued and sold on or after such time, the proceeds of the Notes

Note Reserve Account and/or 2000 Note Payment Account, as provided in
Article VII.
105. Treasurer's Order Authorizing Notes and Establishing Delinquent
Taxes. At or prior to the time any Notes are issued pursuant to this
resolution, the Treasurer, as authorized by Act 206, may issue a written order
specifying the amount and character of the Delinquent Taxes, the Article or
Articles under which the Notes are being issued and any other matters subject
to the Treasurer’s control under either this resolution or Act 206.
II.
FIXED MATURITY NOTES
201. Authority. At the option of the Treasurer, exercisable by written
order, Notes may be issued in accordance with this Article II. All reference to
"Notes" in Article II refers only to Notes issued pursuant to Article II,
unless otherwise specified.
202. Date. The Notes shall be dated as of the date of issue or as of
such earlier date specified by written order of the Treasurer.
203. Maturity and Amounts. Notes issued pursuant to this Article II
shall be structured in accordance with subsections (a) or (b) below as

be later than two years after the date of issue. Later maturities of the Notes
shall be on the first anniversary of the preceding maturity or on such earlier
date as the Treasurer may specify by written order. The Notes shall be
structured with the number of maturities determined by the Treasurer to be
necessary or appropriate, and the last maturity shall be scheduled for no later
than the fourth anniversary of the date of issue. The amount of each maturity
shall be set by the Treasurer when the amount of Delinquent Taxes is determined
by the Treasurer or when a reliable estimate of the Delinquent Taxes is
available to the Treasurer. In determining the exact amount of each maturity
the Treasurer shall consider the schedule of delinquent tax collections
prepared for the tax years ending December 31, 1999, and the corollary schedule
setting forth the anticipated rate of collection of those Delinquent Taxes
which are pledged to the repayment of the Notes. The amount of each maturity
and the scheduled maturity dates of the Notes shall be established to take into
account the dates on which the Treasurer reasonably anticipates the collection
of such Delinquent Taxes and shall allow for no more than a 10% variance
between the debt service payable on each maturity date. The Notes, and the
anticipated amount of pledged monies available on such maturity date to make
payment of such debt service.
(b) Alternatively, the Notes or a series of the Notes may be

semi-annually, with the first interest payment to be payable (i) on the first
date, after issuance, corresponding to the day and month on which the maturity
of such Notes falls, or (ii) if the Treasurer so orders, six months before such
date. In the event (i) any maturity of the Notes arises either less than six
months before the succeeding maturity date or less than six months after the
preceding maturity date and (ii) the Treasurer so orders in writing, interest
on the Notes shall be payable on such succeeding or preceding maturity date.
Subject to the following sentence, Notes issued pursuant to subsection (b) of
Section 203 shall, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer, bear interest

any combination of the foregoing, as provided by written order of the
Treasurer.
(b) Interest shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.
(c) Interest shall be mailed by first class mail to the

Notes shall be issued in fully registered form both as to principal and
interest, registrable upon the books of a note registrar (the "Registrar") to

including the County, offering the necessary services pertaining to the
registration and transfer of negotiable securities.)

more denomination or denominations of $1,000 each or any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess of $1,000, as determined by the Treasurer. Notwithstanding

depository trust arrangement pursuant to Section 208, the Notes shall, if
required by the depository trustee, be issued in denominations of $5,000 each

Agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Note or Notes to the owner thereof
or to owner's attorney-in-fact.
(c) Any service charge made by the Registrar or Paying Agent for
any such registration, transfer or exchange shall be paid for by the County as
an expense of borrowing, unless otherwise agreed by the Treasurer and the
Registrar or Paying Agent. The Registrar or Paying Agent may, however, require
payment by a noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection with any such registration, transfer
or exchange.
208. Book Entry Depository Trust. At the option of the Treasurer, and
notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section 212, the Notes may be
deposited, in whole or in part, with a depository trustee designated by the
Treasurer who shall transfer ownership of interests in the Notes by book entry
and who shall issue depository trust receipts or acknowledgments to owners of
interests in the Notes. Such book entry depository trust arrangement, and the
form of depository trust receipts or acknowledgments, shall be as determined by
the Treasurer after consultation with the depository trustee. The Treasurer is
authorized to enter into any depository trust agreement on behalf of the County
upon such terms and conditions as the Treasurer shall deem appropriate and not
otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Resolution. The depository trustee
may be the same as the Registrar otherwise named by the Treasurer, and the
Notes may be transferred in part by depository trust and in part by transfer of
physical certificates as the Treasurer may determine.
209. Redemption.
(a) Subject to the authority granted the Treasurer pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section (in the case of fixed rate Notes) and to the
authority granted the Treasurer pursuant to Section 404 (in the case of
variable rate Notes), the Notes or any maturity or maturities of the Notes
shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity on the terms set forth in
subsection (b) below.
(b) Notes scheduled to mature after the first date on which any
Notes of the series are scheduled to mature shall be subject to redemption, in
inverse order of maturity, on each interest payment date arising after the date
of issue.
(c) If the Treasurer shall determine such action necessary to
enhance the marketability of the Notes or to reduce the interest rate to be
offered by perspective purchasers on any maturity of the Notes, the Treasurer
may, by written order prior to the issuance of such Notes, (i) designate some
or all of the Notes as non-callable, regardless of their maturity date, and/or
(ii) delay the first date on which the redemption of callable Notes would
otherwise be authorized under subsection (b) above.
(d) Notes of any maturity subject to redemption may be redeemed
before their scheduled maturity date, in whole or in part, on any permitted
redemption date or dates, subject to the written order of the Treasurer. Notes
called for redemption shall be redeemed at par, plus accrued interest to the
redemption date, plus, if the Treasurer so orders, a premium of not more than
1%. Redemption may be made by lot or pro rata, as shall be determined by the
Treasurer.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
74
(e) With respect to partial redemptions, any portion of a Note
outstanding in a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
may be redeemed, provided such portion as well as the amount not being redeemed
constitute authorized denominations. In the event less than the entire
principal amount of a Note is called for redemption, the Registrar or Paying
Agent shall, upon surrender of the Note by the owner thereof, authenticate and
deliver to the owner a new Note in the principal amount of the principal
portion not redeemed.
(f) Notice of redemption shall be by first class mail 30 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption, or such shorter time prior to the date
fixed for redemption as may be consented to by the holders of all outstanding
Notes to be called for redemption. Such notice shall fix the date of record
with respect to the redemption if different than otherwise provided in this
Resolution. Any defect in any notice shall not affect the validity of the
redemption proceedings. Notes so called for redemption shall not bear interest
after the date fixed for redemption, provided funds are on hand with a paying
agent to redeem the same.
210. Discount. At the option of the Treasurer, the Notes may be offered
for sale at a discount not to exceed 2%.
211. Public or Private Sale. The Treasurer may, at the Treasurer's
option, conduct a public sale of the Notes after which sale the Treasurer shall
either award the Notes to the lowest bidder or reject all bids. The conditions
of sale shall be as specified in a published Notice of Sale prepared by the
Treasurer announcing the principal terms of the Notes and the offering.
Alternatively, the Treasurer may, at the Treasurer's option, negotiate a
private sale of the Notes as provided in Act 206. If required by law, or if
otherwise determined by the Treasurer to be in the best interest of the County,
(a) the Notes shall be rated by a national rating agency selected by the
Treasurer, (b) a good faith deposit shall be required of the winning bidder,
and/or (c) CUSIP numbers shall be assigned to the Notes. If a public sale is
conducted or if otherwise required by law or the purchaser of the Notes, the
Treasurer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and disseminated an offering
memorandum or official statement containing all material terms of the offer and
sale of the Notes. Pursuant to any sale of the Notes, the County shall make
such filings, shall solicit such information and shall obtain such governmental
approvals as shall be required pursuant to any state or federal law respecting
back-up income tax withholding, securities regulation, original issue discount
or other regulated matter.
212. Execution and Delivery. The Treasurer is authorized and directed
to execute the Notes on behalf of the County by manual or facsimile signature,
provided that if the facsimile signature is used the Notes shall be
authenticated by the Registrar or any tender agent as may be appointed pursuant

with a facsimile of such seal. The Treasurer is authorized and directed to
then deliver the Notes to the purchaser thereof upon receipt of the purchase
price. The Notes shall be delivered at the expense of the County in such city
or cities as may be designated by the Treasurer.

404. Redemption. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsections
(b) and (c) of Section 209, but subject to the last sentence of this
Section 404, Notes bearing interest at a variable rate may be subject to
redemption by the County and/or put by the holder at any time or times and in
any order, as may be determined pursuant to written order of the Treasurer.
Notes shall not be subject to redemption more frequently than monthly.
405. Remarketing, Repurchase and Resale.
(a) In the event Notes issued under this Article IV are
constituted as demand obligations, the interest rate on the Notes shall be
governed by, and shall be subject to, remarketing by a remarketing agent
appointed in accordance with Section 801(c), under the terms of a put agreement
employed in accordance with Section 801(d).
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
77
(b) The County shall be authorized, consistent with Act 206 and
pursuant to order of the Treasurer, to participate in the repurchase and resale
of Notes in order to reduce the cost of, or increase the revenue, attendant to
the establishment of the Revolving Fund and the issuance and discharge of the
Notes. Any purchase of Notes pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be made
with unpledged monies drawn from revolving funds established by the County in
connection with retired general obligation limited tax notes.
V.
MULTIPLE SERIES
501. Issuance of Multiple Series. At the option of the Treasurer,
exercisable by written order, the Notes issued under Article II, Article III or
Article X may be issued in two or more individually designated series. Each
series shall bear its own rate of interest, which may be fixed or variable in
accordance with Article IV. Various series need not be issued at the same time
and may be issued from time to time in the discretion of the Treasurer
exercisable by written order. In determining the dates of issuance of the
respective series, the Treasurer shall consider, among other pertinent factors,
the impact the dates selected may have on the marketability, rating and/or
qualification for credit support or liquidity support for, or insurance of, the
Notes. The Notes of each such series shall be issued according to this
Resolution in all respects (and the term "Notes" shall be deemed to include
each series of Notes throughout this Resolution), provided that:
(a) The aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series
shall not exceed the maximum aggregate amount permitted under Section 103;
(b) Each series shall be issued pursuant to Article II or
Article III, and different series may be issued pursuant to different Articles;
(c) Each series shall be issued pursuant to Section 502 or
Section 503, and different series may be issued pursuant to different Sections;
(d) A series may be issued under Article II for one, two, or
three of the annual maturities set forth in Article II with the balance of the
annual maturities being issued under Article II or under Article III in one or
more other series, provided that the minimum annual maturities set forth in
Section 203 shall be reduced and applied pro rata to all Notes so issued; and
(e) The Notes of all series issued pursuant to Article II above
shall not, in aggregate, mature in amounts or on dates exceeding the maximum
authorized maturities set forth in Section 203.
502. Series Secured Pari Passu. If the Notes are issued in multiple
series pursuant to this Article V, each series of Notes may, by written order
of the Treasurer, be secured pari passu with the other by the security
described in and the amounts pledged by Article VII below. Moreover, such
security may, pursuant to further order of the Treasurer, be segregated in
accordance with the following provisions.
(a) The Treasurer may by written order establish separate
sub-accounts in the County's 2000 Note Reserve Account for each series of
Notes, into which shall be deposited the amount borrowed for the Note Reserve
Account for each such series.
(b) The Treasurer may by written order establish separate
sub-accounts in the County's 2000 Note Payment Account for each series of
Notes, and all amounts deposited in the Note Payment Account shall be allocated
to the sub-accounts.
(c) (i) In the event separate sub-accounts are established
pursuant to subsection (b) above, and subject to Paragraph (ii) below, the
percentage of deposits to the County's 2000 Note Payment Account allocated to
each sub-account may be set equal to the percentage that Notes issued in the
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
78
corresponding series bears to all Notes issued under this Resolution or to any
other percentage designated by the Treasurer pursuant to written order;
provided that if the various series are issued at different times or if the
various series are structured with different maturity dates, (I) sums deposited
in the Note Payment Account prior to the issuance of one or more series may
upon the issuance of each such series be reallocated among the various
sub-accounts established under Subsection (b) above to achieve a balance among
the sub-accounts proportionate to the designated percentage allocation, and/or
(II) deposits to the Note Payment Account may be allocated among the
sub-accounts according to the total amount of debt service that will actually
be paid from the respective sub-accounts.
(ii) Alternatively, the Treasurer may, by written order,
rank the sub-accounts established under Subsection (b) above in order of
priority, and specify that each such sub-account shall receive deposits only
after all sub-accounts having a higher priority have received deposits
sufficient to discharge all (or any specified percentage of) Notes whose series
corresponds to any of the sub-accounts having priority.
(d) In the absence of a written order of the Treasurer to the
contrary, the amounts in each sub-account established pursuant to this
Section 502 shall secure only the Notes issued in the series for which such
sub-account was established, until such Notes and interest on such Notes are
paid in full, after which the amounts in such sub-account may, pursuant to
written order of the Treasurer, be added pro rata to the amounts in the other
sub-accounts and thereafter used as part of such other sub-accounts to secure
all Notes and interest on such Notes for which such other sub-accounts were
created, until paid in full. Alternatively, amounts held in two or more
sub-accounts within either the Note Reserve Account or the Note Payment Account
may be commingled, and if commingled shall be held pari passu for the benefit
of the holders of each series of Notes pertaining to the relevant sub-accounts.
503. Series Independently Secured. If the Notes are issued in multiple
series pursuant to this Article V, each series of Notes may, by written order
of the Treasurer, be independently secured in accordance with this Section 503.
(a) Each series of Notes shall pertain to one or more taxing
units, as designated by the Treasurer pursuant to written order, and no two
series of Notes shall pertain to the same taxing unit. A school district,
intermediate school district, or community college district extending beyond
the boundaries of a city in which it is located may, pursuant to written order
of the Treasurer, be subdivided along the boundaries of one or more cities and
each such subdivision shall be deemed a taxing unit for purposes of this
Section 503.
(b) Separate sub-accounts shall be established in the County's
2000 Tax Payment Account. Each sub-account shall receive the proceeds of one
and only one series of Notes, and amounts shall be disbursed from the
sub-account to only those taxing units designated as being in that series.
(c) In the event Notes are issued for deposit into the Project
Account established under Section 701, separate sub-accounts shall be
established in the Project Account. Each sub-account shall receive the
proceeds of one and only one series of Notes, and amounts shall be disbursed
from the sub-account only to accounts, sub-accounts and/or taxing units
designated as being in the series corresponding to the sub-account from which
disbursement is being made.
(d) A separate sub-account shall be established in the County's
2000 Note Reserve Account for each series of Notes, into which shall be
deposited the amount determined by the Treasurer under Section 103 or
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
79
Section 703 with respect to the series. Each sub-account shall secure one and
only one series.
(e) A separate sub-account shall be established in the County's
2000 Note Payment Account for each series of Notes. Each sub-account shall be
allocated only those amounts described in Section 704 which pertain to the
taxing units included in the series corresponding to the sub-account.
Chargebacks received from a taxing unit pursuant to Section 905 shall be
deposited in the sub-account corresponding to the series in which the taxing
unit is included. Amounts held in each sub-account shall secure the debt
represented by only those Notes included in the series corresponding to the
sub-account, and disbursements from each sub-account may be applied toward the
payment of only those Notes included in the series corresponding to the
sub-account.
(f) The amounts in each sub-account established pursuant to this
Section 503 shall secure only the Notes issued in the series for which such
sub-account was established until such Notes and interest on such Notes are
paid in full, after which any amounts remaining in such sub-account shall
accrue to the County and shall no longer be pledged toward payment of the
Notes.
VI.
TAXABILITY OF INTEREST
601. Federal Tax. The County acknowledges that the current state of
Federal law mandates that the Notes be structured as taxable obligations.
Consequently, the Notes shall, subject to Article X, be issued as obligations
the interest on which is not excluded from gross income for purposes of Federal
income tax.
602. State of Michigan Tax. Consistent with the treatment accorded all
obligations issued pursuant to Act 206, interest on the Notes shall be exempt
from the imposition of the State of Michigan income tax and the State of
Michigan single business tax, and the Notes shall not be subject to the State
of Michigan intangibles tax.
603. Change in Federal Tax Status. In the event there is a change in
the Federal tax law or regulations, a ruling by the U.S. Department of Treasury
or Internal Revenue Service establishes that the Notes may be issued as exempt
from Federal income taxes or a change in Michigan law causes the Notes in the
opinion of counsel to be exempt from Federal income taxes, the Notes may be so
issued.
VII.
FUNDS AND SECURITY
701. Delinquent Tax Project Account. If the Notes are issued and sold
before the Treasurer has received certification from the taxing units of the
amount of the Delinquent Taxes and if such certification is not reasonably
anticipated in time to allow distribution of the proceeds of the Notes within
20 days after the date of issue, a 2000 Delinquent Tax Project Account (the
"Project Account") shall be established by the Treasurer as a separate and
distinct fund of the County within its general fund. The Project Account shall
receive all proceeds from the sale of the Notes, including any premium or
accrued interest received at the time of sale. The Project Account shall be
held in trust by an escrow agent until the monies therein are disbursed in
accordance with this Article VII. The escrow agent shall be a commercial bank,
shall be located in Michigan, shall have authority to exercise trust powers,
and shall have a net worth in excess of $25,000,000. The form and content of
the agreement between the County and the escrow agent shall be approved by the
Treasurer. Subject to the following sentence, monies deposited in the Project
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
80
Account shall be expended only (i) for the purpose of funding the Tax Payment
Account established under Section 702 and (ii) to the extent permitted by
Act 206, for the purpose of paying the expenses of the offering of the Notes.
In the event the Treasurer by written order so directs, additional funding of
the Project Account may be undertaken, and any surplus proceeds remaining in
the Project Account after the Treasurer has completed the funding of the Tax
Payment Account may be transferred to either the 2000 Note Reserve Account
created under Section 703 or the 2000 Note Payment Account created under
Section 704. Monies in the Project Account may be disbursed by the escrow
agent to the County's 2000 Tax Payment Account at any time and from time to
time, upon receipt of a written requisition signed by the Treasurer.
702. 2000 Tax Payment Account. The County's 2000 Tax Payment Account
(the "Tax Payment Account") is hereby established as a distinct account within
the Revolving Fund. The Treasurer shall designate all or a portion of the
proceeds of the Notes, not to exceed the amount of Delinquent Taxes, for
deposit in the Tax Payment Account. If, however, the proceeds of the Notes are
initially deposited in the Project Account pursuant to Section 701, the
Treasurer is instead authorized and directed to transfer monies included in the
Project Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 701.
The County shall apply the monies in the Tax Payment Account to the payment of
the Delinquent Taxes or expenses of the borrowing in accordance with Act 206.
The allocation of monies from the Tax Payment Account may be made pursuant to a
single, comprehensive disbursement or may instead be made from time to time,
within the time constraints of Act 206, to particular taxing units as monies
are paid into the Tax Payment Account, such that the source of the monies
(whether from the County's own funds, from the proceeds of a tax exempt
borrowing or from the proceeds of a taxable borrowing) may be traced to the
particular taxing unit receiving the funds. Moreover, and regardless of
whether multiple series of Notes are issued, the Tax Payment Account may be
divided into separate sub-accounts in order to allow the Treasurer to designate
which taxing units shall receive borrowed funds and which shall receive funds
otherwise contributed by the County.
703. 2000 Note Reserve Account. In the event funding is provided as
described in this Section 703, the Treasurer shall establish a 2000 Note
Reserve Account (the "Note Reserve Account") as a distinct account within the
Revolving Fund. After depositing all of the monies to fund the Tax Payment
Account pursuant to Section 702, the Treasurer shall next transfer to the Note
Reserve Account, either from the Project Account or directly from the proceeds
of Notes, any proceeds remaining from the initial issuance of the Notes. In
addition, the Treasurer may transfer unpledged monies from other County sources
to the Note Reserve Account in an amount which, when added to any other amounts
to be deposited in the Note Reserve Account, does not exceed the amount
reasonably required for the Notes secured by the Reserve Account or, if less,
20% of the total amount of the Notes secured by the Reserve Account. Except as
provided below, all monies in the Note Reserve Account shall be used solely for
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the
extent that monies required for such payment are not available in the County's
2000 Note Payment Account. Monies in the Note Reserve Account shall be
withdrawn first for payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Notes before County general funds are used to make the payments. All
income or interest earned by, or increment to, the Note Reserve Account due to
its investment or reinvestment shall be deposited in the Note Reserve Account.
When the Note Reserve Account is sufficient to retire the Notes and accrued
interest thereon, the Treasurer may order that the Note Reserve Account be used
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
81
to purchase the Notes on the market, or, if the Notes are not available, to
retire the Notes when due. If so ordered by the Treasurer, all or any
specified portion of the Note Reserve Account may be applied toward the
redemption of any Notes designated for redemption in accordance with
Section 209.
704. 2000 Note Payment Account.
(a) The County's 2000 Note Payment Account is hereby established
as a distinct account within the Revolving Fund. (The County's 2000 Note
Payment Account, as supplemented by monies held in any interim account that are
designated for transfer to the 2000 Note Payment Account, is herein referred to
as the "Note Payment Account".) The Treasurer is directed to deposit into the
Note Payment Account, promptly on receipt, those amounts described below in
Paragraphs (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) that are not excluded pursuant to
Subsection (c) below. Furthermore, the Treasurer may, by written order,
deposit into the Note Payment Account all or any portion of the amounts
described below in Paragraph (iii).
(i) All Delinquent Taxes.
(ii) All statutory interest on the Delinquent Taxes.
(iii) All property tax administration fees on the
Delinquent Taxes, net of any amounts applied toward the expenses of this
borrowing.
(iv) Any amounts that are received by the Treasurer
from the taxing units within the County because of the uncollectability of the
Delinquent Taxes.
(v) Any amounts remaining in the Project Account
after the transfers to the Tax Payment Account and Note Reserve Account have
been made as specified in Sections 702 and 703.
(b) Monies in the Note Payment Account shall be used by the
County to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as the
same become due and payable.
(c) (i) The Treasurer may by written order provide that
only a portion of the sums described above in Subsection (a) shall be deposited
into the Note Payment Account and applied toward the payment of debt service on
the Notes, in which event those sums which are withheld from the Note Payment
Account shall be deposited into the Tax Payment Account or, pursuant to further
order of the Treasurer, applied toward any other purpose consistent with
Act 206. The portion of any sums described in Subsection (a) which are
withheld from the Note Payment Account pursuant to this Subsection shall be
determined in accordance with the following Paragraph.
(ii) Prior to the issuance of the Notes, the Treasurer may
by written order specify a cut-off date not earlier than March 1, 2000, and
only those sums payable to the Note Payment Account and received by the County
after the cut-off date shall be applied to the Note Payment Account.
(d) The Treasurer may by written order provide that at such time
as sufficient funds shall have been deposited into the Note Payment Account to
pay all remaining amounts owed under the Notes the pledge on any additional
monies otherwise payable to the Note Payment Account shall be discharged and
such monies shall not be deposited into the Note Payment Account or otherwise
pledged toward payment of the Notes.
(e) The Treasurer may by written order provide that in the event
Notes are issued pursuant to Article III, amounts that would otherwise be
included in the Note Payment Account or the Note Reserve Account (or any
sub-account therein for a particular series of Notes) shall not include any
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
82
amounts received by the County prior to the latest maturity date of any series
of Notes previously issued under Article II and/or Article III.
705. Limited Tax General Obligation and Pledge.
(a) The Notes shall be the general obligation of the County,
backed by the County's full faith and credit, the County's tax obligation
(within applicable constitutional and statutory limits) and the County's
general funds. The County budget shall provide that if the pledged monies are
not collected in sufficient amounts to meet the payments of the principal and
interest due on the Notes, the County, before paying any other budgeted
amounts, shall promptly advance from its general funds sufficient monies to pay
such principal and interest.
(b) In addition, the monies listed below are pledged to the
repayment of the Notes and, subject to Section 901, shall be used solely for
repayment of the Notes until the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on
the Notes are paid in full:
(i) All amounts deposited or earned in any Project
Account, until disbursed in accordance with Section 701;
(ii) All net proceeds from the sale of the Notes
deposited or earned in the Tax Payment Account, until disbursed in accordance
with Section 702;
(iii) All amounts deposited in the Note Payment Account
pursuant to Section 704(a);
(iv) All amounts deposited in the Note Reserve
Account;
(v) All amounts earned from the investment of monies
held in the Note Payment Account or the Note Reserve Account; and
(vi) Any supplemental monies placed in the Note
Payment Account and drawn in the discretion of the Treasurer from unpledged
sums on the revolving funds, which pledge shall be subject to such limitations
or exceptions as shall be set forth in the written order of the Treasurer.
(c) If the Notes shall be issued in various series pursuant to
Article V, this pledge shall in the case of any independently secured series
extend only to monies in accounts or sub-accounts pertaining to the particular
series.
(d) If the amounts so pledged are not sufficient to pay the
principal and interest when due, the County shall pay the same from its general
funds or other available sources. Pursuant to written order of the Treasurer,
the County may later reimburse itself for such payments from the Delinquent
Taxes collected.
706. Security for Renewal, Refunding or Advance Refunding Notes.
Renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes shall be secured by all or any
portion of the same security securing the Notes being renewed, refunded or
advance refunded. The monies pledged in Section 705 for the repayment of the
Notes are also pledged for the repayment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on any renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes issued
pursuant to this Resolution, and any such renewal, refunding, or advance
refunding Notes shall be the general obligation of the County, backed by its
full faith and credit, which shall include the tax obligation of the County,
within applicable constitutional and statutory limits.
707. Use of Funds after Full Payment or Provisions for Payment. After
all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes have been paid in
full or provision made therefor by investments of pledged amounts in direct
noncallable obligations of the United States of America in amounts and with
maturities sufficient to pay all such principal, premium, if any, and interest
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
83
when due, any further collection of Delinquent Taxes and all excess monies in
any fund or account of the Revolving Fund, and any interest or income on any
such amounts, may, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer and subject to
Article V, be used for any proper purpose within the Revolving Fund including
the securing of subsequent issues of notes.
VIII.
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
801. Supplemental Agreements and Documents. The Treasurer, on behalf of
the County, is authorized to enter into any or all of the following agreements
or commitments as may, in the Treasurer's discretion, be necessary, desirable
or beneficial in connection with the issuance of the Notes, upon such terms and
conditions as the Treasurer may determine appropriate:
(a) A letter of credit, line of credit, repurchase agreement,
note insurance, or similar instrument, providing backup liquidity and/or credit
support for the Notes;
(b) A reimbursement agreement, revolving credit agreement,
revolving credit note, or similar instrument, setting forth repayments of and
security for amounts drawn under the letter of credit, line of credit,
repurchase agreement or similar instrument;
(c) A marketing, remarketing, placement, authenticating, paying
or tender agent agreement or dealer agreement designating a marketing,
remarketing, authenticating, paying, tender or placement agent or dealer and
prescribing the duties of such person or persons with respect to the Notes; and
(d) A put agreement or provision allowing the purchaser of the
Notes to require the County to repurchase the Notes upon demand at such times
as may be provided in such put agreement or provision.
(e) An agreement to use amounts formerly pledged to other years
borrowings as security for the Notes when no longer so pledged.
802. Revolving Credit Notes. If the Treasurer enters into a revolving
credit agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to Section 801 above, the Agreement
may call for the issuance of one or more revolving credit notes (the "Revolving
Credit Notes") for the purpose of renewing all or part of maturing Notes or
Notes that have been put pursuant to a put agreement or provision. Such
Revolving Credit Notes shall be issued pursuant to Article II or III, as
appropriate, and in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Interest on the Revolving Credit Notes may be payable on
maturity, on prior redemption, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or as otherwise
provided in the Agreement.
(b) The Revolving Credit Notes may mature on one or more date or
dates not later than the final maturity date of the Notes, as provided in the
Agreement.

the Notes, execute and deliver one Revolving Credit Note in a maximum principal
amount not exceeding the lending commitment under the Agreement from time to
time in force (and may substitute one such Note in a lesser principal amount
for another in the event the lending commitment is reduced), provided that a
schedule shall be attached to such Note on which loans and repayments of
principal and interest are evidenced and further provided that the making of a
loan and the evidencing of such loan on the schedule of any such Note shall
constitute the issuance of a renewal Note for purposes of this Resolution.
IX.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
901. Expenses. Expenses incurred in connection with the Notes shall be
paid from the property tax administration fees collected on the Delinquent
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000
84
Taxes and, if so ordered by the Treasurer, from any earnings on the proceeds of
the offering or from other monies available to the County.
902. Application to Department of Treasury. The Treasurer or Bond
Counsel is authorized to make application to the Department of Treasury on
behalf of the County for an order permitting the County to make this borrowing
and issue the Notes or to apply to the Department of Treasury for an exception
to prior approval.
903. Bond Counsel. The Notes (and any renewal, refunding or advance
refunding Notes) shall be delivered with the unqualified opinion of John R. Axe
and Associates, which selection of bond counsel may, at the option of the
Treasurer, be for one or more years.
904. Financial Consultants. Municipal Financial Consultants
Incorporated, Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, is hereby retained to act as
financial consultant and advisor to the County in connection with the sale and
delivery of the Bonds.
905. Complete Records. The Treasurer shall keep full and complete

in the Revolving Fund and any account or sub-account created pursuant to this
Resolution and of all other transactions relating to such funds, accounts and
sub-accounts, including investments of money in, and gain derived from, such
funds and accounts.
906. Chargebacks. If, by the date which is three months prior to the
final maturity date of the Notes, sufficient monies are not on deposit in the
Note Payment Account and the Note Reserve Account to pay all principal of and
interest on the Notes when due, Delinquent Taxes not then paid or recovered at
or prior to the latest tax sale transacted two or more months before the final
maturity of the Notes shall, if necessary to ensure full and timely payment on
the date of final maturity, be charged back to the local units in such fashion
as the Treasurer may determine, and, subject to Article V, the proceeds of such
chargebacks shall be deposited into the County's 2000 Note Payment Account no
later than five weeks prior to the final maturity of the Notes. This
Section 905 shall not be construed to limit the authority of the Treasurer
under State law to charge back under other circumstances or at other times.
907. Investments. The Treasurer is authorized to invest all monies in
the Project Account, in the Revolving Fund or in any account or sub-account
therein that is established pursuant to this Resolution in any one or more of
the investments authorized as lawful investments for counties under Act No. 20,
Public Acts of 1943, as amended. The Treasurer is further authorized to enter

County, execute and deliver, or order the Registrar or Paying Agent to
authenticate and deliver, a new Note having a number not then outstanding, of
like date, maturity and denomination as that mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed. In the case of a mutilated Note, a replacement Note shall not be

and the Registrar or Paying Agent shall have received such proof of ownership
and loss and indemnity as they determine to be sufficient.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000

ARTICLE X.
TAX-EXEMPT NOTES OR REFUNDING
1001. Refunding of Taxable Debt or Issuance of Tax-Exempt Debt. The
County acknowledges that the current state of Federal law precludes the
issuance of the Notes as obligations the interest on which is exempt from
Federal income tax. However, the County presently contemplates that
anticipated amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and/or
the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (the "Regulations") or a change in
Michigan law changing the character of the Notes may in the future permit the
issuance of general obligation limited tax notes on a tax-exempt basis, and, in
view of this expectation, the County, through the offices of the Treasurer,
shall issue tax-exempt notes or issue obligations to refund any or all
outstanding Notes issued as taxable obligations, at the time, on the terms, and
to the extent set forth in this Article X.
1002. Timing of Refunding. The aforementioned refunding obligations (the
"Refunding Notes") shall be issued after the effective date of any change in
the Code, Regulations, Internal Revenue Service pronouncements or judicial
rulings which, as confirmed by the written opinion of bond counsel, permit the
refunding of all or some of the outstanding Notes with proceeds from
obligations the interest on which is excluded from gross income for purposes of
Federal income tax.
1003. Extent of Refunding. Subject to the other provisions of this
Section 1003, the Refunding Notes shall refund all Notes outstanding at or
after the effective date of any change in the law described in Section 1002.
This Section 1003 shall not, however, be construed to require the refunding of
any Note prior to the time such Note may be refunded on a tax-exempt basis, nor
shall this Section 1003 be construed to require the refunding of any Note, if
that refunding would result in greater cost to the County (including interest
expense, professional fees and administrative outlays) than would arise if the
Note were to remain outstanding.
1004. Confirmatory Action. Subsequent to any change in the law described
in Section 1002, the Board shall convene to consider any terms of the Refunding
Bonds requiring specific ratification by the Board.
1005. Arbitrage Covenant and Tax Law Compliance. In the event tax-exempt
Notes or Refunding Notes are issued pursuant to this Article X, the following
covenants shall be observed by the County:
(i) the County will make no use of the proceeds of
the Notes or Refunding Notes and will undertake no other intentional act with
respect to the Notes or Refunding Notes which, if such use or act had been
reasonably expected on the date of issuance of the Notes or Refunding Notes or
if such use or act were intentionally made or undertaken after the date of
issuance of the Notes or Refunding Notes, would cause the Notes or Refunding
Notes to be "arbitrage bonds," as defined in Section 148 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in the Regulations promulgated
under Sections 103 and 148 of the Code or in any successor or supplementary
provision of law hereinafter promulgated,
(ii) the County will undertake all actions as shall be
necessary to maintain the Notes or Refunding Notes as obligations the interest
on which qualifies for the tax exemption provided by Section 103(a) of the
Code, including, where appropriate and without limitation, filing informational
returns with the Secretary of Treasury, keeping accurate account of all monies
earned in any fund, account or sub-account authorized by this Resolution or any
resolution adopted in accordance with Section 1004 above, certifying cumulative
cash flow deficits of the County and the local units, and investing any

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS as provided by Public Act 462 of 1996 - Enhanced Access to
Public Records Act, the Board of Commissioners, by approving
Miscellaneous Resolution #97165 on August 14, 1997, adopted the Oakland County
Enhanced Access to Public Records Policy; and
WHEREAS the original names given to several of the enhanced access
programs need to be changed to provide a clearer description of the services
provided through these programs; and
WHEREAS Section 3 (FEES) of the aforementioned policy specifies that “It
is the policy of Oakland County to charge a reasonable fee for providing
enhanced access to a public record.”; and
WHEREAS the policy defines “reasonable fee” as a charge calculated to
enable recovery, over time, only those operating expenses directly related to
the public body’s provision of enhanced access; and
WHEREAS the policy further specifies that proposed fees shall be
presented to and approved by the Board of Commissioners before they shall be
effective; and
WHEREAS the procedure of separately establishing enhanced access rates
for each enhanced access program has created confusion with regard to the
various pricings of enhanced access services, which could be solved by
creating a master sheet of enhanced access pricings that would be revised each
time an enhanced access fee or an enhanced access program is changed by the
Board; and
WHEREAS the pricing for the Parcel Attribute Query should be increased
to $13.00 per month for subscriptions, and $7.50 per transaction, which
constitute “reasonable fees” for this service, to reflect the addition of the
parcel map that will now be provided through this service; and
WHEREAS the pricing for the Delinquent Tax Statement Program should be
increased by $.50 per transaction for non-subscribers, to a total of $2.00 per
transaction, ($1.25 of which remains the statutory fee for access to this
information), which constitutes a “reasonable fee” for this service, to
reflect the additional expenses incurred in processing these individual
transactions; and
WHEREAS the Administration requires the ability to issue credits and
refunds for enhanced access purchases, in the event that, in the
administration’s discretion, such refunds and credits are appropriate.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 24, 2000

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the pricing for the Delinquent Tax
Statement Program should be increased to a total of $2.00 per transaction for

information), to reflect the additional expenses incurred in processing these
individual transactions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all prior resolutions establishing the
individual pricings for enhanced access services shall be superceded by the
cumulative list of pricings for all Oakland County enhanced access services
contained in Attachment 1 to this resolution.

credits and refunds for enhanced access purchases when the Administration
determines that a credit or refund is appropriate.
