BACKGROUND For review, the applicant desires to rezone approximately 107 acres generally located North of Dove Road and East of Ottinger. This property is currently zoned within PD 3-3, which means it is part of “Planning Area 3” of the “Planned Development 3” zoning district. The subject property is surrounded by property owned by the applicant. The surrounding property to the North and to the East is zoned PD 3-3, the property to the West is zoned R-2, and South boundary is bordered by Dove Road with R-5 zoning across the road. By amending the boundaries of PD 3-3, the planning area is reduced to approximately 257 acres. However, the entitlements including the allowable number of houses, square feet of resort hotel and the square feet of office use are not changed. Thus allowing the exact same potential square footage of structures previously approved for approximately 365 acres, to be constructed on the remaining approximate 257 acres. The newly created planning area PD 3-12 (Planning Area 12 of Planned Development 3) has been specifically tailored to accommodate the proposed conference and education center, possible data center and their associated uses. The height increase requested is similar to that recently approved for the PD-1 (Maguire-Solana) planning district. The residential slope requirements are being changed from 5:1 to 4:1. At the regularly scheduled meeting of April 24, 2008, the P&Z Commission voted unanimously for a continuation of the Public Hearing until May 8, 2008 at 7:00 pm. Although the meeting continuation was requested by the applicant in order to allow more time for the completion of a traffic impact analysis, the Commission expressed several concerns as well and asked for additional information. The areas of concern are: • additional information concerning the impact to density for the remaining 257 acres within PD 3-3 • current use plans and design for the remaining PD 3-3 area along with types and percentages of open space • information in the traffic impact analysis for JT Ottinger Road and Dove Road and what that means for the school, bridges, increased traffic areas, etc. The Board of Aldermen met on Monday, April 28, 2008 for their regularly scheduled meeting and also voted unanimously to continue the Public Hearing until May 19, 2008 at 7:00 pm. Additionally, the Board expressed the same concerns noted above by the Commission. P&Z Update The Planning and Zoning Commission did meet at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 8th to continue the Public Hearing for this case and voted unanimously for another continuation to be held Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 7:00 pm. The applicant asked for the additional continuance in order to obtain more information and conduct additional investigations relating to several site access options. ACTION REQUESTED It is necessary that the Board of Aldermen also continue the Public Hearing to a future date (regular Board meeting of Monday, June 9th, 2008) in order to allow the additional time requested by the applicant. Town of Westlake Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen From: Tom Brymer, Town Manager Debbie Piper, Finance Director Subject: Regular Meeting of June 19, 2008 – Item #10 Date: May 12, 2008 ITEM Consider adoption of an ordinance authorizing the issuance and sale of the Town's General Obligation Bonds, Series 2008 in the amount of $2,5M for the construction and associated costs of the Arts and Sciences Center. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval. BACKGROUND On November 7, 2007 the citizens of Westlake approved the sale of General Obligation bonds in the amount of $2.5 million for the construction and associated costs of the Arts and Sciences Center. Because of the current cost of insurance and the small issue amount, our financial advisor, Jason Hughes with First Southwest, recommended we consider a “private placement”. The “Private Placement Term Sheet and Bid Form” was released on Friday, May 9th and the submission deadline is 10:00 A.M. on Friday, May 16th. Two separate bids were requested regarding the call date of the bonds; one year and ten year. The bids will be brought to the Board of Aldermen at the May 19th meeting for review and the sale will be awarded to the bidder which provides the lowest bid based on lowest interest and all associated costs. Annual payments of principal will be made beginning May 1, 2009 through May 1, 2028, with semiannual payments beginning November 1, 2008 and on each May 1 and November 1 thereafter until maturity. It is anticipated that the Bonds will be delivered on Thursday, June 19, 2008. FUNDING Annual payments will be approximately $190,000-$195,000 for 20 years. We anticipate making these payments from the Visitors Association Fund using the revenue collected from hotel/motel tax. The average annual revenue for these taxes equals $400,000. It is anticipated that annual revenues over expenditures in this fund will accommodate this payment.

COMPTROLLER'S REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE: REGISTER NO. ___________ I hereby certify that this Bond has been examined, certified as to validity and approved by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, and that this Bond has been registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Witness my signature and seal this _______________. __________________________________________ Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas (COMPTROLLER'S SEAL) Section 5. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND. (a) A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is hereby created and shall be established and maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of said Issuer. Said Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of said Issuer, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of said Bond. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of said Bond shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of said Bond is outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of said Issuer shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax that will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on said Bond as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of said Bond as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original amount of said Bond as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of said Issuer, with full allowances being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in said Issuer, for each year while any of said Bond is outstanding and unpaid, and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Bond, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. If lawfully available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant to this Section may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the lawfully available funds then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. (b) Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bond and the pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under this Section, and is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Bond is outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under this Section, is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, in 47 order to preserve to the registered owner of the Bond a security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge to occur. Section 6. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES (a) Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences or events for the purpose of this Ordinance is hereby declared to be an Event of Default: (i) the failure to make payment of the principal of or interest on the Bond when the same becomes due and payable; or (ii) default in the performance or observance of any other covenant, agreement or obligation of the Issuer, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the rights of the Registered Owner of the Bond, including, but not limited to, their prospect or ability to be repaid in accordance with this Ordinance, and the continuation thereof for a period of 60 days after notice of such default is given by the Registered Owner to the Issuer. (b) Remedies for Default. Upon the happening of any Event of Default, then and in every case, the Registered Owner or an authorized representative thereof, including, but not limited to, a trustee or trustees therefor, may proceed against the Issuer for the purpose of protecting and enforcing the rights of the Registered Owner under this Ordinance, by mandamus or other suit, action or special proceeding in equity or at law, in any court of competent jurisdiction, for any relief permitted by law, including the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing that may be unlawful or in violation of any right of the Registered Owner hereunder or any combination of such remedies. (c) Remedies Not Exclusive. (i) No remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Bond or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the Bond shall not be available as a remedy under this Ordinance. (ii) The exercise of any remedy herein conferred or reserved shall not be deemed a waiver of any other available remedy. (iii) By accepting the delivery of a Bond authorized under this Ordinance, the Registered Owner agrees that the certifications required to effectuate any covenants or representations contained in this Ordinance do not and shall never constitute or give rise to a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the officers, employees or trustees of the Issuer or the Board of Aldermen. Section 7. DEFEASANCE OF BOND. 48 (a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow Agreement") for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bond shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided that any determination not to redeem Defeased Bond that is made in conjunction with the payment arrangements specified in subsection (a)(i) or (ii) of this Section shall not be irrevocable, provided that: (1) in the proceedings providing for such payment arrangements, the Issuer expressly reserves the right to call the Defeased Bond for redemption; (2) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the Defeased Bond immediately following the making of the payment arrangements; and (3) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes. (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the Issuer be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar that is not required for the payment of the Bond and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and/or Defeasance Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Bond may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the requirements specified in subsection (a)(i) or (ii) of this Section. All income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased Bond, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. (c) The term "Defeasance Securities" means (i) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (ii) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that, on the date of the purchase thereof are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, and (iii) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that, on the date the governing 49 body of the Issuer adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent. (d) Until the Defeased Bond shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bond the same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance. Section 8. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED BOND. (a) Replacement Bond. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed and delivered, a new Bond of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, in replacement for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Bond. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond shall be made by the Registered Owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Bond, the Registered Owner applying for a replacement Bond shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Bond, the Registered Owner shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft or destruction of such Bond, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Bond, the Registered Owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Bond so damaged or mutilated. (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bond. Prior to the issuance of any replacement Bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the Registered Owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement Bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all other Bond duly issued under this Ordinance. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bond. In accordance with Sec. 1206.022, Government Code, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement Bond without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such Bond is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall 50 authenticate and deliver such Bond in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 3(a) of this Ordinance for Bond issued in exchange for other Bond. Section 9. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF BOND; BOND COUNSEL'S OPINION; CUSIP NUMBERS; ENGAGEMENT OF BOND COUNSEL. (a) The Mayor of the Issuer is hereby authorized to have control of the Bond initially issued and delivered hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Bond pending its delivery and its examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, and its registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon registration of the Bond said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate attached to such Bond, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on such Bond. The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers (if any) may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on the Bond issued and delivered under this Ordinance, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of the Registered Owner of the Bond. In addition, if bond insurance is obtained, the Bond may bear an appropriate legend as provided by the insurer. (b) The obligation of the initial purchaser to accept delivery of the Bond is subject to the initial purchaser being furnished with the final, approving opinion of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., bond counsel to the Issuer, which opinion shall be dated as of and delivered on the date of initial delivery of the Bond to the initial purchaser. The engagement of such firm as bond counsel to the Issuer in connection with issuance, sale and delivery of the Bond is hereby approved and confirmed. The execution and delivery of an engagement letter between the Issuer and such firm, with respect to such services as bond counsel, is hereby authorized in such form as may be approved by the Mayor, and the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute such engagement letter. Section 10. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE BOND. (a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain from any action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bond as an obligation described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows: (1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bond (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the Project are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Bond, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bond or the 51 Project (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" that is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use; (3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bond (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code; (4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Bond being treated as a "private activity bond" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code; (5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bond being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bond, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Bond, other than investment property acquired with B (A) proceeds of the Bond invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 30 days or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bond is issued, (B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and (C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bond; (7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bond or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bond, as may be necessary, so that the Bond does not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and (8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bond) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Bond has been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code. (b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without 52 limitation the Registered Owners. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code. (c) Use of Proceeds. The Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations (hereinafter defined) and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bond. It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto (the "Treasury Regulations"). In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bond, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bond under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose additional requirements applicable to the Bond, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bond under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor to execute any documents, certificate or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bond. (d) Allocation of, and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Project. The Issuer covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the construction and acquisition of the Project on its books and records by allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not expend proceeds of the sale of the Bond or investment earnings thereon more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Bond, or (2) the date the Bond is retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such expenditure will not adversely affect the status, for federal income tax purposes, of the Bond or the interest thereon. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. (e) Disposition of Project. The Issuer covenants that the Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or other compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bond. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax proposes from gross income of the interest. (f) Designation as a Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligation. The Issuer hereby designates the Bond as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" as defined in section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In 53 furtherance of such designation, the Issuer represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) that during the calendar year in which the Bond is issued, the Issuer (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor will designate obligations that when aggregated with the Bond, will result in more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt obligations" being issued; (b) that the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the amount of tax-exempt obligations issued, during the calendar year in which the Bond is issued, by the Issuer (or any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and, (c) that the Issuer will take such action or refrain from such action as necessary, and as more particularly set forth in this Section, hereof, in order that the Bond will not be considered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code. Section 11. SALE OF BOND. (a) The Bond is hereby initially sold and shall be delivered to _________________________, __________, __________ (the "Purchaser"), for cash for the par value thereof, pursuant to the private placement letter dated the date of the final passage of this Bond which the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute and deliver. The Bond shall initially be registered in the name of the Purchaser. It is hereby officially found, determined, and declared that the terms of this sale are the most advantageous reasonably obtainable. (b) The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, and all other officers, employees and agents of the Issuer, and each of them, shall be and they are hereby expressly authorized, empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Issuer a Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement with the Paying Agent/Registrar and all other instruments, whether or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, the Bond and the sale of the Bond. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. Section 12. INTEREST EARNINGS ON BOND PROCEEDS. Interest earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Bond shall be used along with other Bond proceeds for the Project; provided that after completion of such purpose, if any of such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest earnings shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on Bond proceeds that are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 10 hereof in order to prevent the Bond from being arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this Section. 54 Section 13. CONSTRUCTION FUND. (a) The Issuer hereby creates and establishes and shall maintain on the books of the Issuer a separate fund to be entitled the "Series 2008 General Obligation Bond Construction Fund" for use by the Issuer for payment of all lawful costs associated with the acquisition and construction of the Project as hereinbefore provided. Upon payment of all such costs, any moneys remaining on deposit in said Fund shall be transferred to the Interest and Sinking Fund. Amounts so deposited to the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be used in the manner described in Section 5 of this Ordinance. (b) The Issuer may place proceeds of the Bond (including investment earnings thereon) and amounts deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund in investments authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, as amended; provided, however, that the Issuer hereby covenants that the proceeds of the sale of the Bond will be used as soon as practicable for the purposes for which the Bond is issued. (c) All deposits authorized or required by this Ordinance shall be secured to the fullest extent required by law for the security of public funds. Section 14. METHOD OF AMENDMENT. The Issuer hereby reserves the right to amend this Ordinance subject to the following terms and conditions, to-wit: (a) The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Registered Owner, except as otherwise required by paragraph (b) below, amend or supplement this Ordinance in order to (i) cure any ambiguity, defect or omission in this Ordinance that does not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders, (ii) grant additional rights or security for the benefit of the holders, (iii) add events of default as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders, (iv) qualify this Ordinance under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or corresponding provisions of federal laws from time to time in effect, or (v) make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Ordinance as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not in the opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel materially adversely affect the interests of the holders. (b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, the Registered Owner shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment hereto that may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that without the consent of the Registered Owner, nothing herein contained shall permit or be construed to permit amendment of the terms and conditions of this Ordinance or in the Bond so as to: (1) Reduce the rate of interest borne by the Bond; (2) Reduce the amount of the principal of, or redemption premium, if any, payable on the Bond; (3) Modify the terms of payment of principal or of interest on the Bond or impose any condition with respect to such payment; or 55 (4) Change the requirement with respect to Registered Owner consent to such amendment. (c) If at any time the Issuer shall desire to amend this Ordinance under this Section, the Issuer shall send by U.S. mail to the Registered Owner a copy of the proposed amendment. (d) Whenever at any time within one year from the date of publication of such notice the Issuer shall receive an instrument or instruments executed by the Registered Owner, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment and that shall specifically consent to and approve such amendment, the Issuer may adopt the amendment in substantially the same form. (e) Upon the adoption of any amendatory ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this Section, this Ordinance shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance with such amendatory Ordinance, and the respective rights, duties, and obligations of the Issuer and the Registered Owner shall thereafter be determined, exercised, and enforced, subject in all respects to such amendment. (f) Any consent given by the Registered Owner of a Bond pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of such consent, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future holders of the same Bond during such period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after six months from the date of consent by the Registered Owner who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing notice with the Issuer. (g) For the purposes of establishing ownership of the Bond, the Issuer shall rely solely upon the registration of the ownership of such Bond on the registration books kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar. Section 15. NO RULE 15c2-12 UNDERTAKING. The sale of the Bond is exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). Consequently, the Issuer makes no undertaking pursuant to the Rule to provide any on-going disclosure relating to the Issuer or the Bond. Section 16. APPROPRIATION. To pay the debt service coming due on the Bonds, if any, prior to receipt of the taxes levied to pay such debt service, there is hereby appropriated from current funds on hand, which are hereby certified to be on hand and available for such purpose, an amount sufficient to pay such debt service, and such amount shall be used for no other purpose. Section 17. SEVERABILITY. If any section, article, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word in this Ordinance, or application thereof to any persons or circumstances is held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance, despite such invalidity, which remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. 56 Section 18. EFFECTIVE DATE. In accordance with the provisions of V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 1201.028, this Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its adoption by the Board of Aldermen.

Meyer, Director of Facility & Recreation Subject: Regular meeting of May 19, 2008 – Item #11 Date: May 8, 2008 ITEM Consider a Resolution authorizing the Town Manager to enter into agreement with AIL Investment, L.P. granting the use of a 10’underground water utility easement (4,979 sq. ft.) located on the north side if the property south of Civic Campus. BACKGROUND To accommodate the new Arts and Sciences Center project and future expansion of the Academy, the current water, sewer and gas lines will have to be relocated to the south and west of the existing campus. The water line entering the property from JT Ottinger Road will be increased from an 8” to a 12” line to accommodate future development to the west. The 10’easement is necessary due to the lack of room between the Town’s property line, current retaining wall and parking area along the south east corner of the civic campus. It will be the Town’s responsibility to install a temporary fence during the construction phase of the project. The Town will also be responsible for the cost to restore the easement tract which will include reinstalling the fence and using grass plugs to restore the grass to its previous condition once all construction is completed. FUNDING The funds to facilitate this agreement have been included in the adopted FY 2007-08 relocation of utility budget. 59 TOWN OF WESTLAKE RESOLUTION NO. 08-30 AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH AIL INVESTMENT, L.P.
