Caywood County Administrator Consideration of an ordinance to authorize the issuance of Lease Revenue Bonds to finance various County capital projects as detailed in the approved fiscal year 2026 - 2035 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) BACKGROUND: The proposed ordinance authorizes the issuance of up to $21 ,000 ,000 in Lease Revenue Bonds for the fiscal year 2025-2026 capital projects. The Le ase Revenue Bonds will provide funding for specific projects' components to include the redevelopment of the Hollins Library , the renovation and expansion of the Hollins Fire Station , the construction and reconstruction of a portion of the County's park ing lots and sidewalk replacements along with trail connections and mechanical upgrades and capital improvements at the County's Explore Park , the design and build of four single­ stall restroom buildings in Roanoke County 's Park system , the development of a left turn lane along Sanderson Drive and , and the construction of a lift station and force main system connecting the 6200 Bent Mountain Road to its existing sewer collection system (collectively , the "Projects"); DISCUSSION: The proposed structure of the bonds are Lease Revenue Bonds through the Virginia Page 1 of 3 Resources Authority (VRA) in the amount of up to $21,000 ,000 in bonds , a true interest cost not to exceed six percent (6%), and a term to maturity not to exceed twenty years. This is an estimate of the maximum borrowing authority that the County may need . The amount of the bonds the County issues will depend on the interest rate conditions in the marketplace at the time of the bond sale. Board approval of the attached Ordinance authorizes the execution of all documents associated with the financing of these projects including: 1. Prime Lease between County and VRA 2 . Local Lease Acquisition Agreement between the VRA and the County 3. Financing Lease Agreement with VRA 4. Other related documents FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal year 2025-2026 estimated capital project costs associated with these projects included in this proposed bond issuance total $21,000,000 . Funding for the projects was included in the fiscal year 2026-2035 Capital Improvement Program and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors through Budget Ordinance 052725-2 , the County's fiscal year 2025-2026 Capital Budget. Principal and interest payments will begin in fiscal year 2026-2027. The County will capitalize interest for any payments due until July 1, 2026. Debt service on the proposed bond amount is projected to be approximately $1 ,830,876; however this will be dependent on market conditions at the time of sale and final amortization schedules provided by VRA. The County's obligation to make payments to VRA under the Financing Lease is subject to annual appropriations by the Board and does not constitute a pledge of the full faith and credit or taxing power of the County. The County's debt policies established parameters for issuing debt and managing outstanding debt. The County does not have any Constitutional or Statutory Debt Limits. The County does abide by Board of Supervisors-imposed debt limits . The proposed bond issue in the amount not to exceed $21 ,000,000 will allow the County to stay within its limits of the County debt policy approved by the Board .
