Ms. Mary Ann Curtin presented a brief update to the Board of
Supervisors on the status of several bills before the General
Assembly and from the county's legislative program. In
regards to SB 468, the stormwater bill, she stated local
governments across the state had serious issues with the new
provision that would make addressing stormwater through a
stormwater utility more challenging. She further stated the
new language has since been eliminated from the bill. In
regards to the Air BnB bill, she stated there will be a group
of stakeholders convened by the Housing Commission to find
some solutions to the issues that arose with the bill that
was introduced which includes a reenactment clause. She
further stated the stormwater local assistance fund was not
included in the State budget; however, $20 million will be
issued in state funding for the purpose of providing grants
to localities around the state. In closing, she stated the
veto session will be on April 20th and bill amendments/vetoes
will be available by no later than April 13th for those bills
that fall into the 30 -day review period for the Governor's

Precinct a new, North Bird Precinct, and a small, western

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the "Board") of the
County of Chesterfield, Virginia (the "County"), has
determined that it is necessary and expedient to issue its
County Projects VRA Special Fund Revenue Bonds, Series 2016
(the "Bonds") and to sell the Bonds to the Virginia Resources
Authority ("VRA") for the purpose of providing funds to the
County for the financing of the costs of certain capital
improvements for the County, including, without limitation,
construction and renovation to a social services building of
the County (the "Project"), and for the purpose of refunding

2016 and Series 2007 issued on August 29, 2007 (collectively,
the "Obligations to be Refunded"); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the sale of the: Bonds to the
VRA, the County and the VRA intend to enter into a Local Bond
Sale and Financing Agreement (the "Financing Agreement")
pursuant to which the VRA will agree to apply a portion of
the proceeds of the sale of the Virginia Resources Authority
Infrastructure and State Moral Obligation Revenue Bonds
(Virginia Pooled Financing Program), Series 2016A (the "VRA
Bonds") to the purchase of the Bonds from the County, and to
make available to the County a portion of the proceeds of the

costs of the Project and the refunding of the Obligations to
be Refunded; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the County
will set forth the amount of VRA Bond proceeds requested (the
"Proceeds Requested"), which Proceeds Requested shall not
exceed an aggregate principal amount of $24,000,000; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the VRA
will agree to pay to the County a purchase price for the
Bonds which, in the VRA's judgment, reflects the Bonds'
market value (the "VRA Purchase Price Objective"), taking
into consideration such factors as maximum authorized
principal amount of the Bonds, the purchase price to be
received by the VRA for the VRA Bonds and other market
conditions relating to the sale of the VRA's Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the VRA's determination of the VRA Purchase
Price Objective may result in the Bonds having a purchase
price other than par and consequently (i) the County may have
to issue a principal amount of Bonds that is greater than or
less than the Proceeds Requested in order to receive an
amount of proceeds that is substantially equal to the
Proceeds Requested, or (ii) if the maximum authorized
principal amount of the Bonds set forth in Section 1 below
does not exceed the Proceeds Requested by at least the amount
of any discount, the purchase price to be paid to the County,
given the VRA Purchase Price Objective and market conditions,
will be less than the Proceeds Requested; and
WHEREAS, the Bonds shall constitute a limited obligation
of the County to make payments thereunder subject to, and
solely conditioned upon, an appropriation being made by the
Board in each fiscal year in which the Bonds are outstanding
to pay amounts coming due with respect to principal or and
interest on the Bonds for such fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the County
will agree to establish a special fund within the County's
General Fund to be designated the County Projects VRA Special
Fund into which special fund all monies appropriated by the
County for the payment of amounts due under the Financing
Agreement with respect to the Bonds shall be deposited; and

WHEREAS, the Bonds shall not constitute a debt of, or a
pledge of the faith and credit of, the County, and shall be
payable solely from funds on deposit in the VRA Special Fund
from appropriations, if any, made by the County in each
fiscal year to pay amounts coming due under the Financing
Agreement with respect to the Bonds for such fiscal year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD, VIRGINIA:
1. Authorization of Bonds and Use of Proceeds. The
Board hereby determines that it is advisable to enter into
the Financing Agreement with the VRA and, subject to Section
12 hereof, hereby determines to issue and sell the Bonds in
an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $24,000,000 (the
"Bonds") to the VRA on the terms and conditions specified
herein and in the Financing Agreement for the purpose of
financing the costs of the Project and refunding the
Obligations to be Refunded, and paying costs of issuance with
respect to the Bonds. Subject to Section 12 hereof, the
Board hereby authorizes the issuance and sale of the Bonds to
the VRA upon the terms established pursuant to this
Resolution.
2. Sale of the Bonds. It is determined to be in the
best interest of the County to accept the offer of the VRA to
purchase from the County, and to sell to the VRA, the Bonds
at a price acceptable to the Chairman of the Board, the
County Administrator, or either of them, and such other
officer or officers of the County as either may designate
(each an "Authorized Officer") and determined by the VRA
pursuant to the VRA Purchase Price Objectives to be fair and
that is substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested, except
that the Bonds may be sold for a purchase price not lower
than 950 of the Proceeds Requested if issuing the Bonds in
the maximum principal amount authorized by Section 1 of this
Resolution is insufficient, given the VPSA Purchase Price
Objective and market conditions, to generate an amount of
proceeds substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested. Any
Authorized Officer of the County is hereby authorized and
directed to enter into the Financing Agreement providing for
the sale of the Bonds to the VRA in substantially the form
thereof submitted to the Board at this meeting, which form is
hereby approved, with such changes as shall be approved by
the County acting with the advice of the County Attorney and
Bond Counsel, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by
the execution and delivery of the Financing Agreement by an
Authorized Officer of the County.
3. Details of the Bonds; Form of the Bonds; Execution
of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be dated the date of issuance
and delivery of the Bonds; shall be designated "County
Projects VRA Special Fund Revenue Bonds, Series 2016"; and
shall bear interest from the date of delivery thereof. The
County Administrator is hereby authorized and directed to
accept the interest rates on the Bonds established by VRA
pursuant to the Financing Agreement; provided that the true
interest cost of the Bonds does not exceed five percent
16-172
DRAFT 03/23/16
(5.00%) per annum (exclusive of "Supplemental Interest" as
provided in the Financing Agreement). The payment schedule
with respect to the Bonds shall be as set forth in the
Financing Agreement. The Bonds shall mature no later
December 31, 2037. The execution and delivery of the Bonds
by the County shall conclusively evidence the acceptance by
the County of the interest rates and payment schedule with
respect to the Bonds as authorized by this Resolution. The
Bonds shall be subject to prepayment as provided in the
Financing Agreement; provided that the prepayment price shall
not exceed 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest to the prepayment date. The Bonds shall be issued
in typewritten form and shall be substantially in the form
attached to the Financing Agreement. The Chairman or Vice
Chairman and the Clerk or any Deputy Clerk of the Board are
authorized and directed to execute, with their manual
signatures or facsimiles thereof, and deliver the Bonds and
to affix the seal of the County thereto or imprint a
facsimile of the seal of the County thereon.
4. Payment; Paying Agent. The Bonds shall be payable
in the amounts and at the times set forth therein and in the
Financing Agreement. The County Treasurer is hereby
appointed to serve as paying agent for the Bonds. If deemed
in the best interests of the County, the County may at any
time appoint a qualified bank or trust company to serve as
paying agent with respect to the Bonds.
5. Bonds Shall Not Constitute a Debt of the County;
Faith and Credit of the County Shall Not be Pledged to the
Bonds; Limited Obligation of the County, Subject to
Appropriation. The Bonds shall not constitute a debt of the
County. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of
the County shall be pledged to the payment of the Bonds. The
Bonds shall constitute a limited obligation of the County,
payable solely from, and contingent upon, funds, if any, on
deposit in the VRA Special Fund established by the County
from the annual appropriation, if any, made by the County in
each fiscal year for payment of amounts coming due with
respect to the Bonds in such fiscal year. Nothing in this
Resolution, the Financing Agreement or the Bonds shall
constitute a pledge of the faith and credit nor the taxing
power of the County nor compel the Board to make any
appropriations for the payments of amounts due with respect
to the Bonds and the Financing Agreement. The Board hereby
recognizes that, although the Board is not empowered to make
any binding commitment beyond the current fiscal year, it is
the Board's current intention to make sufficient annual
appropriations during the term of the Bonds and the Financing
Agreement for deposit to the VRA Special Fund to be applied
to the payment of amounts due with respect to the Bonds. The
Board hereby directs the County Administrator, during the
term of the Bonds and the Financing Agreement, to include as
a separate line item in each annual budget of revenues and
disbursements presented to the Board an item designated as
"VRA Special Fund Payments" in an amount sufficient, in the
judgment of the County Administrator, to make all payments
coming due from the County with respect to the Bonds and the
Financing Agreement during such fiscal year.

6. State Aid Intercept. The County acknowledges that
the VRA is treating the Bonds as a "local obligation" within
the meaning of Section 62.1-199 of the Virginia Resources
Authority Act (Chapter 21, Title 62.1 of the Code of Virginia
of 1950, as amended (the "Act")), including amendments
thereto taking effect as of July 1, 2011, which in the event
of a nonpayment thereunder authorizes the VRA or the VRA's
Trustee to file an affidavit with the Governor of the
Commonwealth that such nonpayment has occurred pursuant to
Section 62.1-216.1, of the Act. In purchasing the Bonds, the
VRA is further relying on Section 62.1-216.1 of the Act
providing that if the Governor is satisfied that such
nonpayment has occurred, the Governor will immediately make
an order directing the Comptroller to withhold all further
payment to the County of all funds, or of any part of them,
appropriated and payable by the Commonwealth of Virginia to
the County for any and all purposes, and the Governor will,
while the nonpayment continues, direct in writing the payment
of all sums withheld by the Comptroller, or as much of them
as is necessary, to VRA, so as to cure, or cure insofar as
possible, such nonpayment.
7. Establishment of VRA Special Fund. The Board
hereby authorizes and directs the County to establish the VRA
Special Fund within the County's General Fund into which
appropriations, if any, made by the County with respect to
the Bonds shall be deposited and to cause the VRA Special
Fund to be identified in the County's audited financial
statements.
8. Nonarbitrage Certificate and Tax Compliance
Agreement; Escrow Deposit Agreement; Refunding of Obligations
to be Refunded. Any Authorized Officer of the County is
hereby authorized and directed to execute a nonarbitrage
certificate and tax compliance agreement or any similar or
related tax document (hereinafter the "Tax Certificate") as
may be required by the VRA or by bond counsel to the County,
each setting forth the expected use and investment of the
proceeds of the Bonds and containing such covenants as may be
necessary in order to show compliance with the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
and applicable regulations. The Board covenants on behalf of
the County that the proceeds from the issuance and sale of
the Bonds will be invested and expended as set forth in such
Tax Certificate and that the County shall comply with the
other covenants and representations contained therein.
Subject to the sale and receipt of the proceeds of
the Bonds, any Authorized Officer of the County is hereby
authorized to designate the Obligations to be Refunded for
redemption on such date or dates as such Authorized Officer
shall determine. Any Authorized Officer of the County is
authorized to select a bank or trust company to serve, or the
County may itself serve, as Escrow Agent, if necessary, and
to deliver to such Escrow Agent or applicable County
officials irrevocable written instructions to give notices,
or to cause such notices to be given, in the name and on
behalf of the County,.to the holders of the Obligations to be

DRAFT 03/23/16
Refunded of the redemption of the Obligations to be Refunded,
such notices to be given in the manner and at the time or
times provided in proceedings authorizing the issuance of the

County is hereby authorized to execute and deliver an Escrow
Deposit Agreement by and between the County and the Escrow
Agent in such form as shall be approved by such Authorized
Officer upon the advice of counsel (including the County
Attorney or Bond Counsel), such approval to be conclusively
evidenced by the execution of the Escrow Deposit Agreement by
such Authorized Officer. Any Authorized Officer of the
County is hereby authorized to select a verification agent,
if necessary, in connection with the refunding of the
Obligations to be Refunded.
The County Administrator or the County Treasurer is
hereby authorized to execute, on behalf of the County,
subscriptions for United States Treasury Obligations - State
and Local Government Series, if any, to be purchased by the
County in connection with the refunding of the Obligations to
be Refunded. Such United States Treasury Obligations - State
