RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOTTO EXCEED $12,750,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION JUSTICE

CENTER REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2018, OF THE BOARDOF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COUTY OF LORAIN, OHIO

Commissioner Kalo moved the adoption of the following resolution:

WHEREAS, the County Auditor, as fiscal officer of the County, has heretofore estimated that the life of the improvements and assets funded with the proceeds of the $25,000,000 General Obligation Justice Center Bonds, Series 2002, dated May 2, 2002 (the "Original Bonds") is at least five (5) years, and certified that the maximum maturity of the bonds issued therefor is not less than twenty-nine (29) years; and

WHEREAS, certain maturities of the Original Bonds were refunded with issuance of $13,730,000 General Obligation Justice Center Refunding Bonds, Series 2010, dated December 30, 2010 (the "Series 2010 Bonds");

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio:

SECTION 1. That it is necessary to issue and sell bonds of this County in the principal sum of not to exceed $12,750,000 (the "Bonds") for the purpose of refunding certain outstanding Series 2010 Bonds issued (1) to advance refund certain maturities of the Original Bonds and (2) to pay costs of issuance of the Series 2010 Bonds; under authority of and pursuant to the general laws of the State of Ohio, particularly Chapter 133 of the Ohio Revised Code.

SECTION 2. That the Bonds shall be issued for the purpose aforesaid. The Bonds shall (i) be issued in a principal amount as determined by the County Administrator or Budget Director, but not to exceed the amount set forth above, for the purpose aforesaid, (ii) be dated their date of issuance, (iii) be numbered from R-1 upwards in order of issuance, (iv) be of the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, provided that each Bond shall be of a single maturity, (v) mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on the dates and in the amounts determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director, and (vi) bear interest payable semiannually on the first day of June and the first day of December of each year commencing June 1, 2018, at the rate or rates per annum determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director, provided that the net interest cost payable by the County over the life of the Bonds shall not exceed six percent (6%) per annum. Determinations required to be made by the County Administrator or the Budget Director pursuant to this resolution shall be stated in a Bond Purchase Agreement for the Bonds (the "Bond Purchase Agreement") which the County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby authorized to sign. The Bond proceeds may be used to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds and up to twenty-four (24) months of capitalized interest on the aggregate on the Original Bonds, the Series 2010 Bonds and the Bonds. Series 2010 Bonds maturing in the years 2018 and thereafter (the "Refunded Bonds") are hereby ordered called for optional redemption according to their terms following issuance of the Bonds.

The Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the County upon such terms, at such times and at such price or prices (but in any case, not greater than 102% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date), as may be determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director.

If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of a single maturity are called for redemption, the selection of Bonds to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, shall be made by lot by the Paying Agent and Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in any manner which the Paying Agent and Registrar may determine. In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds when Bonds of denominations greater than $5,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of face value of principal thereof shall be treated as though it were a separate Bond of the denomination of $5,000. If one or more, but not all, of such $5,000 units of face value represented by a Bond are to be called for redemption, then upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered holder of that Bond shall surrender the Bond to the Paying Agent and Registrar (a) for payment of the redemption price for the $5,000 unit or units of face value called for redemption (including without limitation, the interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any premium), and (b) for issuance, without charge to the registered holder thereof, of a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date as, the Bond surrendered.

"Depository" means any securities depository that is a clearing agency under federal law operating and maintaining, together with its Participants or otherwise, a book entry system to record ownership of beneficial interests in Bonds or principal and interest, and to effect transfers of Bonds, in book entry form, and includes and means initially The Depository Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.

"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.

That payment in any event shall be made to the person who is the registered owner of that Bond on the date that principal is due, or, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable date agreed upon as the case may be. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by the Paying Agent and Registrar, to any other paying agents for the Bonds and to this County. Any payment of principal or interest pursuant to such an agreement shall constitute payment thereof pursuant to, and for all purposes of, this Resolution.

The County Administrator or the Budget Director are authorized and directed without further action of this Board of County Commissioners to execute, acknowledge and deliver, in the name of and on behalf of this County, a blanket letter agreement between this County and The Depository Trust Company, as Depository, to be delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds to the Depository for use in a book entry system, and to take all other actions the County Administrator or the Budget Director deems appropriate in issuing the Bonds under a book entry system.

The payment of the premium and expenses relating to any such insurance policy from the proceeds of the Bonds is hereby authorized if the County Administrator or the Budget Director determines that the present value of the interest cost savings on the Bonds resulting from the insurance policy is greater than the premium to be charged for the insurance policy.

SECTION 11. That the members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator, the Budget Director or any other officer, employee or agent of this County, are each hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to apply for one or more municipal bond ratings with respect to the Bonds, and any such actions heretofore taken are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed. The payment of the premium and expenses relating to any such rating from the proceeds of the Bonds is hereby authorized.

SECTION 12. That the Clerk of this Board of County Commissioners is hereby directed to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the County Auditor.

That notice shall specify the redemption date and the principal amount of each maturity of Bonds to be redeemed, and shall be given at least 45 days prior to the redemption date or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Bond Registrar.

(iii) Partial Redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds are called for optional redemption at one time and Bonds of more than one maturity (and interest rate within a maturity) are then outstanding, the Bonds that are called shall be Bonds of the maturity or maturities (and interest rate within a maturity) selected by the County. If fewer than all of the Bonds of a single maturity (and interest rate within a maturity) are to be redeemed, the selection of Bonds of that maturity (and interest rate within a maturity) to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, shall be made by the Bond Registrar by lot in a manner determined by the Bond Registrar. In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds by lot when Bonds of denominations greater than $5,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of principal thereof shall be treated as if it were a separate Bond of the denomination of $5,000. If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the $5,000 units of principal amount represented by a Bond are to be called for redemption, then, upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered owner of that Bond shall surrender the Bond to the Bond Registrar (i) for payment of the redemption price of the $5,000 unit or units of principal amount called for redemption (including, without limitation, the interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any premium), and (ii) for issuance, without charge to the registered owner, of a new Bond or Bonds of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date as, the Bond surrendered.

(iv) Notice of Redemption. The notice of the call for redemption of Bonds shall identify (A) by designation, letters, numbers or other distinguishing marks, the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, (B) the redemption price to be paid, (C) the date fixed for redemption, and (D) the place or places where the amounts due upon redemption are payable. The notice shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the County by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered owner of each Bond subject to redemption in whole or in part at the registered owner’s address shown on the Bond Register maintained by the Bond Registrar at the close of business on the fifteenth day preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice by mail or any defect in that notice regarding any Bond, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond.

(v) Payment of Redeemed Bonds. In the event that notice of redemption shall have been given by the Bond Registrar to the registered owners as provided above, there shall be deposited with the Bond Registrar on or prior to the redemption date, moneys that, in addition to any other moneys available therefor and held by the Bond Registrar, will be sufficient to redeem at the redemption price thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, all of the redeemable Bonds for which notice of redemption has been given. Notice having been mailed in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph hereof, the Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and, upon presentation and surrender thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. If moneys for the redemption of all of the Bonds and portions thereof to be redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, are held by the Bond Registrar on the redemption date, so as to be available therefor on that date and, if notice of redemption has been deposited in the mail as aforesaid, then from and after the redemption date those Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and no longer shall be considered to be outstanding. If those moneys shall not be so available on the redemption date, or that notice shall not have been deposited in the mail as aforesaid, those Bonds and portions thereof shall continue to bear interest, until they are paid, at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption. All moneys held by the Bond Registrar for the redemption of particular Bonds shall be held in trust for the account of the registered owners thereof and shall be paid to them, respectively, upon presentation and surrender of those Bonds, provided that any interest earned on the

98

moneys so held by the Bond Registrar shall be for the account of and paid to the County to the extent not required for the payment of the Bonds called for redemption.

Section 4. Execution and Authentication of Bonds; Appointment of Bond Registrar. The Bonds shall be signed by at least two members of this Board and the Fiscal Officer, in the name of the County and in their official capacities, provided that any or all of those signatures may be a facsimile. The Bonds shall be issued in the Authorized Denominations and numbers as requested by the Original Purchaser and approved by the County Administrator or Budget Director, in order to distinguish each Bond from any other Bond, and shall express upon their faces the purpose, in summary terms, for which they are issued and that they are issued pursuant to this Resolution.

The Huntington National Bank is appointed to act as the initial Bond Registrar ; provided, however, that the County Administrator or Budget Director is authorized to appoint a different Bond Registrar in the Certificate of Award after determining that such bank or trust company will not endanger the funds or securities of the County and that proper procedures and safeguards are available for that purpose. At least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the Fiscal Officer, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, in the name and on behalf of the County, to execute a Bond Registrar Agreement between the County and the Bond Registrar, which shall be in such form as the officials signing the same may approve. The Bond Registrar Agreement shall provide for the payment of the services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to the Bond Registrar Agreement, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Original Purchaser in accordance with the Bond Purchase Agreement, from the proceeds of the Bonds to the extent available and then from other money lawfully available and appropriated or to be appropriated for that purpose.

No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any security or benefit under the Bond proceedings unless and until the certificate of authentication printed on the Bond is signed by the Bond Registrar as authenticating agent. Authentication by the Bond Registrar shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly issued, signed and delivered under, and is entitled to the security and benefit of, the Bond proceedings. The certificate of authentication may be signed by any authorized officer or employee of the Bond Registrar. The same person need not sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds.

Section 5. Registration; Transfer and Exchange; Book Entry System.(a) Bond Registrar. So long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, the County will cause the Bond Registrar to maintain and keep

the Bond Register at the office satisfactory to the County Administrator or Budget Director and the Bond Registrar. Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below, the person in whose name a Bond is registered on the Bond Register shall be regarded as the absolute owner of that Bond for all purposes of the Bond proceedings. Payment of or on account of the debt charges on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of that person; neither the County nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, but the registration may be changed as provided in this Section. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the County’s liability upon the Bond, including interest, to the extent of the amount or amounts so paid.

(b) Transfer and Exchange. Any Bond may be exchanged for Bonds of any Authorized Denomination upon presentation and surrender at the office of the Bond Registrar designated in the Certificate of Award or, if not so designated, then at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar, together with a request for exchange signed by the registered owner or by a person legally empowered to do so in a form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar. A Bond may be transferred only on the Bond Register upon presentation and surrender of the Bond at the designated office of the Bond Registrar together with an assignment signed by the registered owner or by a person legally empowered to do so in a form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar. Upon exchange or transfer the Bond Registrar shall complete, authenticate and deliver a new Bond or Bonds of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations requested by the owner equal in the aggregate to the unmatured principal amount of the Bond surrendered and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date.

If manual signatures on behalf of the County are required, the Bond Registrar shall undertake the exchange or transfer of Bonds only after the new Bonds are signed by the authorized officers of the County. In all cases of Bonds exchanged or transferred, the County shall sign and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Bond proceedings. The exchange or transfer shall be without charge to the owner, except that the County and Bond Registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse them for any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the exchange or transfer. The County or the Bond Registrar may require that those charges, if any, be paid before the procedure is begun for the exchange or transfer. All Bonds issued and authenticated upon any exchange or transfer shall be valid obligations of the County, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same security and benefit under the Bond proceedings as the Bonds surrendered upon that exchange or transfer. Neither the County nor the Bond Registrar shall be required to make any exchange or transfer of (i) Bonds then subject to call for redemption between the 15 th day preceding the mailing of notice of Bonds to be redeemed and the date of that mailing, or (ii) any Bond selected for redemption, in whole or in part.

(c) Book Entry System. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Resolution, if the County Administrator or Budget Director determines in the Certificate of Award that it is in the best interest of and financially advantageous to the County, the Bonds may be issued in book entry form in accordance with the following provisions of this Section.

The Bonds may be issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system and, if and so long as a book entry system is utilized, (i) the Bonds may be issued in the form of a single, fully registered Bond representing each maturity and interest rate within a maturity and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as registered owner, and immobilized in the custody of the Depository or its designated agent which may be the Bond Registrar; (ii) the book entry interest owners of Bonds in book entry form shall not have any right to receive Bonds in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iii) ownership of book entry interests in Bonds in book entry form 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 Bonds 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 County.

If any Depository determines not to continue to act as a Depository for the Bonds for use in a book entry system, the Fiscal Officer may attempt to establish a securities depository/book entry relationship with another qualified Depository. If the Fiscal Officer does not or is unable to do so, the Fiscal Officer, 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 Bonds from the Depository, and shall cause Bond certificates in registered form to be authenticated by the Bond Registrar 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 County action or inaction, of those persons requesting that authentication and delivery.

The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed, to the extent necessary or required, to enter into any agreements, in the name and on behalf of the County, that such officer determines to be necessary in connection with a book entry system for the Bonds.

Section 6. Award and Sale of the Bonds.(a) To the Original Purchaser. The Bonds shall be sold to the Original Purchaser at a purchase price, not less than 97% of the

aggregate principal amount thereof, as shall be determined by the County Administrator or Budget Director in the Certificate of Award, plus accrued interest on the Bonds from their date to the Closing Date, and shall be awarded by with and upon such other terms as are required or authorized by this Resolution to be specified in the Certificate of Award, in accordance with law, and the provisions of this Resolution and the Bond Purchase Agreement.

(c) Agreement to Provide Continuing Disclosure. The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds (the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”) in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Bonds; however, any holder of the Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause the County to comply with its obligations under this paragraph and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

(d) Application for Rating or Bond Insurance. That the members of this Board of County Commissioners, the Fiscal Officer, the County Administrator, the Budget Director or any other officer, employee or agent of this County, are each hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to apply for one or more municipal bond ratings with respect to the Bonds, and any such actions heretofore taken are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed. The payment of the premium and expenses relating to any such rating from the proceeds of the Bonds is hereby authorized.

Section 7. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds (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 Bonds are being issued. Any proceeds to be used for the payment of any expenses properly allocable to the issuance of the Bonds shall be paid into the proper fund or funds. Any proceeds representing premium and accrued interest shall be paid into the Sales Tax Bond Retirement Fund. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds (except any accrued interest) are appropriated and shall be used for the purpose for which the Bonds are being issued.

Section 8. Special Obligations and Provisions for Levy and Collection of Sales Tax. The Bonds are special obligations of the County, and the principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Bonds are payable solely from the Sales Tax Receipts and the Pledged Funds, and such payment is secured by a pledge of and a lien on the Sales Tax Receipts and the Pledged Funds as provided by Chapter 133 of the Revised Code and this Resolution.

The County has heretofore levied and covenants that it shall continue to collect the Sales Taxes for so long as the Bonds are outstanding. The County hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Bonds are outstanding, it shall not suffer the repeal, amendment or any other change in this Resolution, or the proceedings authorizing the Sales Tax, that in any way materially and adversely affects or impairs (a) the sufficiency of the Sales Tax Receipts levied and collected or otherwise available for the payment of the Bonds or (b) the pledge or the application of the Sales Tax Receipts to the payment of the Bonds.

The Bonds do not constitute a debt or obligation of the State or a general obligation debt, or a pledge of the full faith and credit, of the County, or any other political subdivision of the State, and the holders or owners of the Bonds have no right to have taxes levied by the general assembly or property taxes levied by the taxing authority of any political subdivision of the State, including the taxing authority of the County, for the payment of principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Bonds. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the County to use or apply to the payment of principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Bonds any funds or revenues from any source other than Sales Tax Receipts. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to prohibit the County, of its own volition, from using, to the extent that it is authorized by law to do so, any other resources for the fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Resolution or of the Bonds.

If the County shall pay or cause to be paid and discharged the Bonds, the covenants, agreements and other obligations of the County hereunder and in the Bonds shall be discharged and satisfied. The County shall be considered to have caused a Bond to be paid and discharged if the County has placed in escrow, and pledged for the payment of debt charges on such Bond, money or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States, or a combination of those obligations, determined by an independent firm experienced in making such determinations to be sufficient, with the interest or other investment income accruing on those direct or guaranteed obligations, for the payment of debt charges on that Bond. For purposes of this Section, “direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed as to payment by the United States” includes rights to receive payment or portions of payments of the principal of or interest or other investment income on those obligations, and other obligations fully secured as to payment by those obligations and the interest or other investment income on those obligations.

Section 9. Creation of Sales Tax Bond Fund and Application of Sales Tax Receipts. The Sales Tax Bond Fund has previously been created by a resolution of this Board of County Commissioners and is maintained by the Fiscal Officer in the custody of the County. The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized to maintain, or permit the maintenance of, such separate accounts in that Fund, and such separate subaccounts in any account, as is determined to be in the best interest of the County. Sales Tax Receipts shall be deposited in the Sales Tax Bond Fund on or prior to each Interest Payment Date in an amount sufficient to pay interest on the Bonds on that Interest Payment Date. Any monies on deposit in the Sales Tax Bond Fund shall be invested to the extent permitted by law.

The County hereby covenants, subject and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State, to appropriate, in each year while the Bonds are outstanding, Sales Tax Receipts required to pay the principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Bonds in that year. Further, this Board will give effect to such appropriations in all resolutions it passes thereafter in that year appropriating money for expenditure and encumbrance and limit the other appropriations of Sales Tax Receipts in that year to the amount available after deducting the amount required to pay the principal of and interest (and any premium) on the Bonds and on any Parity Obligations in that year. If the County Administrator or Budget Director determines it to be in the best interest of and financial advantages to the County, such officer may agree in the Certificate of Award to the creation and maintenance of a reasonable reserve in the Sales Tax Bond Fund or a schedule of periodic deposits of Sales Tax Receipts in the Sales Tax Bond Fund to provide additional security for payment of debt charges on the Bonds.

Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the County to use or apply to the payment of debt charges on the Bonds any funds or revenues from any source other than Sales Tax Receipts. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to prohibit the County, of its own volition, from using, to the extent that it is authorized by law to do so, any other resources for the fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Resolution or of the Bonds.

Section 10. Parity Obligations. The County may in the future issue Parity Obligations. The County Administrator or Budget Director may agree in the Certificate of Award to reasonable limits on the future issuance of Parity Obligations, consistent with that officer’s determination of the best interest of and financial advantages to the County. However, such limits shall not impose a coverage requirement for annual Sales Tax Receipts that is greater than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the maximum annual debt charges required to be paid in any succeeding calendar year on the Bonds and all Parity Obligations to be outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Parity Obligations. For bond anticipation notes, the debt service on the bonds anticipated by the notes shall be used in calculating compliance with any such agreement. Bond anticipation notes being renewed or refunded and bonds being refunded shall be excluded from this calculation.

Section 11. Federal Tax Considerations. The County covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Bonds in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Bonds will not (i) constitute private activity bonds or arbitrage bonds under Section 141 or 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or (ii) be treated other than as bonds to which Section 103 of the Code applies, and (b) the interest thereon will not be an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code.

The County further covenants that (a) it will take or cause to be taken such actions that may be required of them for the interest on the Bonds to be and to remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) it will not take or authorize to be taken any actions that would adversely affect that exclusion and (c) it, or persons acting for them, will, among other acts of compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Bonds to the governmental purposes 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 those 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.

If any Depository determines not to continue to act as Depository for the Notes for use in a book entry system, this Board of County Commissioners and the Paying Agent and Registrar may attempt to establish a securities depository/book entry relationship with another qualified Depository under this Resolution. If this Board of County Commissioners and the Paying Agent and Registrar do not or are unable to do so, this Board of County Commissioners and the Paying Agent and Registrar, after the Paying Agent and Registrar has made provision for notification of the beneficial owners by the then Depository, shall permit withdrawal of the Notes from the Depository and authenticate and deliver note certificates in fully registered form to the assigns of the Depository or its nominee, all at the cost and expense (including costs of printing definitive Notes), if the event is not the result of action or inaction by this Board of County Commissioners or the Paying Agent and Registrar, of those persons requesting such issuance.

SECTION 8. That during the period while the Notes run there shall be levied upon all of the taxable property in this County within applicable limitations, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually, not less than that which would have been levied if bonds had been issued without the prior issue of the Notes; said tax shall be and is hereby 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 said years are certified, extended and collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof.

The funds derived from said tax levy hereby required shall be placed in a separate and distinct fund, together with interest collected on the same, shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal and interest of the Notes, or the bonds in anticipation, of which they are issued, when and as the same fall due; provided, however, that to the extent moneys from available county funds are appropriated for debt service (the anticipated repayment revenue), said tax need not be levied for such purpose.

SECTION 9. That the County Administrator and Budget Director are authorized to apply for municipal bond credit rating(s) for the Notes and to accept said rating(s) on behalf of the County.

SECTION 10. That if determining to be necessary by the original purchaser, this Board of County Commissioners hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Notes (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate") in connection with the issuance of the Notes. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Notes; however, any holder of the Notes may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause this Board of County Commissioners to comply with its obligations under this section and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

SECTION 11. That this Board of County Commissioners, for and on behalf of this County, hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Notes hereby authorized in such manner and to such extent, if any, and take such other actions as may be necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the debt is incurred, so that they will not constitute obligations the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation or "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations prescribed thereunder. The County Auditor or any other officer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Notes is authorized and directed to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of this County, on the date of delivery of the Notes for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to the use of the proceeds thereof and the provisions of said Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 12. That the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners is hereby directed to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the County Auditor.

SECTION 13. That it is found and determined that all formal actions of this Board of County Commissioners concerning and relating to the adoption of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Board of County Commissioners, and that all deliberations of this Board of County Commissioners and of any of its committees that resulted in such formal action, were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements including Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.

Mr. Cordes said the work started on the Quarries less than 1 year ago and not progressing rapidly and developer continues to review. The sewer agreement was expensive, that is why there was not construction. He said these sewers are needed on the west side. The Baumhart turnpike is the least utilized ramp on the whole turnpike. He said once sewers are development, a good land use plan with zoning and area will begin to thrive. He said the Transeuropean group that wanted to make the quarries into a tropical resort collapsed, just look at SR250, Sandusky, two commissioners were not reelected because of those sewers but that area thrives today.

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 05-1045C, which created eight incentive district within the unincorporated area of Lorain County, indicated that the increase in assessed value of each incentive district would be exempted from taxation for a period commencing on the earlier of “(A) the first tax year... in which an improvement attributable to one or more new structures on the parcel appears on the tax list and duplicate... and (B) tax year 2010;” and

WHEREAS, any increase in value attributable to new construction occurring after 2010 would be captured by this existing incentive district resolution, and the time period for which the exemption would continue would start in 2010, not when the improvement is made thereby reducing the period over which service payments would be received by at least 8 years; and

WHEREAS, in order to develop certain areas of the County, the County Administrator has negotiated a memorandum of understanding with the proposed developer of the Amherst Quarry project which provides that the County would consider the creation, by the adoption of a new resolution, of a tax increment financing district in order to pay for certain public infrastructure improvements, and the exemption period would be the maximum thirty year period permitted by the Ohio Revised Code,

“On the weekend of November 18th, 2017, nearly 3 inches of rain fell over a 24 hour period in parts of Lorain, Huron and Medina County causing many of the rivers and streams to crest above flood levels. An unnamed tributary of the Vermilion River crossing under Portman Road through a 95” x 67” corrugated metal culvert was over whelmed as a result of this rainfall resulting in severe erosion around the pipe and at the downstream end. This erosion is now threatening the roadway as well as a 16 inch watermain that serves over 14,000 customers in Lorain, Erie and Huron County.

On December 12th, a preliminary application was submitted to the Ohio Public Works Commission for emergency funding to replace the failed culvert. Notification was received that same day that the application was approved in the amount of $130,000 or 80% of the project estimate. By Resolution No. 17-826, the Lorain County Engineer was authorized to submit a formal Application for Financial Assistance to the State of Ohio Public Works Commission.

At this time, the Ohio Public Works Commission is currently in the process of completing the grant agreement and the Lorain County Engineer’s Office would like to proceed with the repair as soon as the agreement is executed. In accordance with Section 307.86 of the Ohio Revised Code, the competitive bidding requirements can be waived if this is an actual physical disaster to structures.

g. PUBLIC COMMENT (Please limit your comments to three minutes)

Jeff Baxter, Elyria would like to discuss transparency for the Commissioners and getting information to the voters. There was a hearing on the transportation over 60 days ago and the only thing that has been said since has been the rates were cut 12/1. He said 12/18 a study was provided from NOACA and was discussed at a public forum, a good thing. There was also a comment period ending 1/15 and as of today there has been nothing heard. He wants to understand, is this something that is just going to be told to voters, this is how it will be or will there be an opportunity to hear the public comments by the people to understand the plans that will come forth with transit. He would recommend that there be ability to tell the people of Lorain County, citizens that are paying the taxes that go for that how it will be.

Teresa Shay, Elyria since she first came to speak about lack of transportation in the county, she has seen no changes. In the freezing cold and wind, people in her neighborhood walk a mile n half to Rite Aid or further to convenient or miles to Apples food store. She sees her future as a disabled old person when her car goes. She observed the care of the Commissioners for the projects that are important to you such as the elevators of the building being restored, beautify of transportation center, new facility for drug people where old people were displaced with little thought. Priorities are once again the criminals when it should be the people that are willing to work and need transportation. You have to be on time for work and school, not wet and frozen. She said LACADA has not solved the problems with the drug people and you have done nothing for her problem, be focused. She was there when dollars from sales tax would go towards transit, the tax increased and now you are not using this money for transit for any side or main roads. All you focus on is good buildings and facilities for drug users and criminals or will you finally see the NOACA study is needed. People before drugs and criminals, all necessary, but they are first.
