AND A LOCAL LEASE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT AND FINANCING
LEASE, AND OTHER RELATED ACTIONS
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the "Board") of the County of Roanoke,
Virginia (the "County"), intends to finance all or a portion of the costs (or to reimburse the
County for payment of such costs) of various capital improvements, including the
acquisition, construction and equipping of public safety radios, a public park and a public

(collectively, the "Projects");
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the County
to enter into a lease arrangement in order to obtain funds to finance the Projects;
WHEREAS, the Board is authorized, pursuant to Section 15.2-1800 of the Code
of Virginia of 1950, as amended, to lease any improved or unimproved real estate held
by the County;
WHEREAS, the first reading of this ordinance was held on September 12, 2017
and the second reading was held on September 26, 2017;
WHEREAS, Virginia Resources Authority ("VRA") intends to issue its Infrastructure

finance the Projects pursuant to the terms of a Local Lease Acquisition Agreement and

WHEREAS, the County will enter into a Prime Lease (the "Prime Lease") with VRA
whereby the County will lease certain real estate, which may include the Vinton Library

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Lease the County will undertake and
complete the Projects;
WHEREAS, the County intends to pay the Rental Payments out of appropriations
from the County's General Fund;
WHEREAS, the Financing Lease shall indicate that approximately $7,075,000 plus
any amount requested for capitalized interest (or such other amount as requested by the
County and approved by VRA prior to the pricing of the VRA Bonds) is the amount of
proceeds requested (the "Proceeds Requested") from VRA;
WHEREAS, VRA's objective is to pay the County an amount which, in VRA's
judgment, reflects the market value of the Rental Payments under the Financing Lease

WHEREAS, such factors may result in the County receiving an amount other than

Payments under the Financing Lease may be greater 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 aggregate principal components of the
Rental Payments under the Financing Lease set forth in paragraph 4 of this Ordinance

any original issue discount, the amount to be paid to the County, given the VRA Purchase
Price Objective and market conditions, will be less than the Proceeds Requested;
WHEREAS, the Prime Lease and the Financing Lease are referred to herein as
the "Documents." Copies of the Documents are on file with the County Administrator.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
THE COUNTY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA:
1. Approval of Lease -Leaseback Arrangement. The lease -leaseback
arrangement with VRA to accomplish the financing of the Projects is hereby approved.
The County Administrator is authorized to determine the Real Estate and Improvements,
as may be required by VRA, to be subject to the lease -leaseback arrangement.

Page 3 of 9
3. Approval of the Financing Lease. The leasing of the Real Estate and the
Improvements by VRA, as lessor, to the County, as lessee, pursuant to the terms of the
Financing Lease is hereby approved.
4. Approval of the Terms of the Rental Payments. The Rental Payments
set forth in the Financing Lease shall be composed of principal and interest components
reflecting an original aggregate principal amount not to exceed $7,500,000, a true interest
cost not to exceed 5.00% per annum (taking into account any original issue discount or
premium) and a term not exceeding 20 years from the date of the closing of the VRA
It is determined to be in the best interest of the County to accept the offer of VRA
to enter into the Financing Lease with the County for an amount determined by VRA to
be fair, subject to the conditions set forth in this Ordinance, which Financing Lease shall
be executed by the Chairman of the Board (the "Chairman") and the County
Administrator, or either of them. Given the VRA Purchase Price Objective and market
conditions, it may become necessary to enter into the Financing Lease with aggregate
principal components of the Rental Payments greater than the Proceeds Requested. If
the limitation on the maximum aggregate principal components of Rental Payments on
the Financing Lease set forth in this paragraph 4 restricts VRA's ability to generate the
Proceeds Requested, taking into account the VRA Costs, the VRA Purchase Price
Objective and market conditions, the County Administrator is authorized to accept a
purchase price for the Bond at an amount less than the Proceeds Requested.
The Financing Lease, in substantially the form presented to this meeting, is hereby
approved, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent with
Page 4 of 9
this Ordinance as may be approved by the Chairman or the County Administrator. The
Chairman and the County Administrator, either of whom may act are hereby authorized
and directed to enter into the Financing Lease.
The actions of the Chairman and the County Administrator in accepting the final
terms of the Rental Payments shall be conclusive, and no further action shall be
necessary on the part of the Board.

amounts required by the Financing Lease, including any amounts required by Section
5.1(b) of the Financing Lease, including the "Supplemental Interest," as provided in such
section.

County Administrator, either of whom may act, are authorized and directed to execute the

on file with the County Administrator, which are hereby approved with such completions,
omissions, insertions and changes as may be approved by the Chairman and the County

by the Chairman and/or the County Administrator constituting conclusive evidence of the
approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions, and changes.

Financing Lease. The Board directs the County Administrator, or such other officer who
may be charged with the responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to
include in the budget request for each fiscal year during the term of the Financing Lease
an amount sufficient to pay the Rental Payments and all other payments coming due
under the Financing Lease during such fiscal year. If at any time during any fiscal year
of the County throughout the term of the Financing Lease, the amount appropriated in the
County's annual budget in any such fiscal year is insufficient to pay when due the Rental
Payments and any other payments required under the Financing Lease, the Board directs
the County Administrator, or such other officer who may be charged with the responsibility
for preparing the County's annual budget, to submit to the Board at the next scheduled
meeting, or as promptly as practicable but in any event within 45 days, a request for a
supplemental appropriation sufficient to cover the deficit.

10. Rental Payments Subject to Appropriation. The County's obligation to
make the Rental Payments and all other payments pursuant to the Financing Lease is
hereby specifically stated to be subject to annual appropriation therefor by the Board, and
nothing in this Ordinance or the Documents shall constitute a pledge of the full faith and
credit nor taxing power of the County or compel the Board to make any such
appropriation.
11. Disclosure Documents. The County authorizes and consents to the
inclusion of information with respect to the County to be contained in VRA's Preliminary
Official Statement and VRA's Official Statement in final form, both to be prepared in
connection with the sale of the VRA Bonds. If appropriate, such disclosure documents

Commission Rule 15c2-12.
