2. The Board makes the following findings of fact in support of its <br />determination: <br />(a) The proposed capital projects are necessary and expedient for the <br />County. <br />(b) The amount of bonds proposed is adequate and not excessive for the <br />proposed purpose. Although capital needs for the stated purposes may exceed the <br />amount of bonds proposed, the Board finds that this level of bond funding is <br />appropriate considering the County's resources and other needs. <br />(c) The County's debt management and budgetary and fiscal <br />management policies have been carried out consistently in accordance with the <br />law. <br />(d) The Board expects a potential annual tax rate equivalent impact to <br />the County related to paying debt service on the bonds of approximately <br />cents per $100 of assessed valuation. <br />3. (a) The Finance Officer is authorized and directed to proceed with the <br />proper steps toward the authorization of the referendum, including proceeding with an <br />application to the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the "LGC ") for its <br />approval of the bonds. The Board appoints the Finance Officer as the County's <br />authorized representative with respect to the LGC application process. <br />(b) The Finance Officer, in collaboration with the Clerk, is authorized and <br />directed to publish a notice of the Board's intent to apply to the LGC for approval of the <br />bonds. This notice must be in the form prescribed by statute and consistent with this <br />resolution. <br />(c) All County representatives are authorized to take all such further action as <br />they may consider necessary or desirable in connection with the furtherance of the <br />purposes of this resolution. This resolution takes effect immediately. <br />
