IV. v. . e e History and Evolution of Industrial Development Revenue Bond Act The virginia Industrial Bond Act evolved from special acts creating Industrial Development Authorities for Fairfax, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake in 1963 and 1964. After the constitutionality of the Acts was approved by the Virginia Supreme Court in 1966, the statewide Industrial Development and Revenue Bond Act (the virginia Act) was adopted in 1966 -- generally the Virginia Act permitted each county, city or town to create an industrial development authority which had all the powers under the virginia Act, but was generally limited to financing lIindustrial facilities". The virginia Act was expanded specifically to include pollution control and solid waste disposal facilities. Beginning in the late 170s, several commercial facilities were financed after approval by court validation proceedings. This resulted in the Virginia Act being expanded in 1983 specifically to permit financing of commercial facilities. The Federal tax law amendments in 1982 required a public hearing and approval by an elected body or official. The Virginia Act was then amended to require a fiscal impact statement, the required public hearing by the Authority and approval by the County Board of Supervisors or city Council. VI. The Federal tax law was amended in 1984 to apply a quota system of $75 per head applicable to most IIprivate activity" bonds, but not bonds for non-profit corporations. virginia adopted a quota procedure giving each County or City priority on quota for most of the year. VII. The Federal tax law was again amended in 1986 to limit the quota to $50 per head, to change the financings permitted under "small issue industrial development bonds" from all types of IIfor profitll facilities, including commercial facilities, to IImanufacturing" and to repeal the exemption for pollution control. VIII. virginia then changed its quota system to a first-come-first served statewide system. IX. Under Federal and state law, among other things, bonds may still be issued by industrial development authorities for solid waste disposal facilities and facilities for non-profit corporations. The manufacturing exemption under Federal tax law has been extended on a year to year basis with the current expiration date on June 30, 1992. . x. The virginia Act was amended in 1991 specifically to permit financing facilities for local governments where the bonds are ~ssued by the Industrial Development Authority and leased to the County. e e e e e Slides to be shown to reflect some of the bonds that have been issued. 1.

IV. e e Examples of Activities of other Industrial Development Authorities Some Authorities charge an application fee, plus a fee of 1/8 of 1% of the outstanding balance of the bonds, payable annually. This is maximum allowed under the Federal income tax law. Richmond is an example of an Authority that charges this fee. Most of Richmond's financings had been for commercial facilities. Chesterfield, which historically has limited its financing to industrial or similar manufacturing facilities, has not charged a fee. At least one Authority, the Henrico Authority, has the Industrial Development Authority in charge of its Department of Economic Development. It is my understanding that the Administrator reports to the Authority, rather than to the County Administrator. The Authorities in a number of jurisdictions own, operate and control industrial parks to make land and facilities available to industries. Bonds to finance facilities for the County, including county buildings, fire department buildings, etc., backed up by lease to the county have been issued in some jurisdictions. \
