WHEREAS, the Project is necessary for the protection of the public health, and in order to provide funds to pay the costs of the Project, the Drain Commissioner intends to issue the Drainage District’s Note or Notes in an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 (the “Notes”) pursuant to Section 434 of the Act; and

WHEREAS, the principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable from assessments to be made upon benefited properties in the Drainage District; and

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners (the “Board”) may, by resolution adopted by a majority vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board, pledge the full faith and credit of Ingham County (the “County”) for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Section 434 of the Act; and

WHEREAS, the pledge of the full faith and credit of the County to the Notes will reduce the cost of financing the Project and will be a benefit to the people of the County.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the following:

1.             The County pledges its full faith and credit for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes.  The County shall immediately advance sufficient moneys from County funds, as a first budget obligation, to pay the principal of and interest on any of the Notes should the Drainage District fail to pay such amounts when due.  The County shall, if necessary, levy a tax on all taxable property in the County, to the extent other available funds are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due.
