(10-18)(2)(p) Notice to the Qualified Voters of Lamar County of a General Obligation Bond and Sales and Use Tax for Educational Purposes Election on November 8, 2011. 1. Notice is hereby given by the Board of Education of Lamar County (the ‘Board of Education’), acting for and on behalf of the Lamar County School District (the ‘School District’), and by the Lamar County Board of Elections and Registrations, as the election superintendent for Lamar County, that on November 8, 2011 an election will be held in Lamar County to submit to the qualified voters of the School District the following question: Yes ____ No ____ Shall the Lamar County School District issue general obligation bonds in principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 to pay the costs of funding renovations and improvements to Lamar County College and Career Academy, AND shall a one percent sales and use tax for educational purposes be reimposed in the Lamar County School District for a period of time not to exceed 20 consecutive calendar quarters commencing upon the termination of the one percent sales and use tax for educational purposes presently in effect for the raising of not more than $11,000,000 for the purpose of funding (a) the repayment of a portion of previously incurred general obligation debt of the School District, (b) a portion of the principal and interest on the above described general obligation bonds, and (c) a portion of the costs of the following capital outlay projects not paid for with proceeds from said general obligation bonds (i) renovation and improvements to existing schools buildings, including the primary, elementary, middle, and high schools, maintenance facilities and the central office, (ii) acquisition of school buses, transportation vehicles and equipment, and maintenance vehicles, (iii) the acquisition of any property, both real and personal, and equipment necessary in connection with the above described capital outlay projects, including computers and system-wide technology upgrades, athletic facilities and physical education equipment, textbooks, furnishings, band instruments, vocational equipment, and safety and security equipment? 2. All qualified voters desiring to vote in favor of the question propounded shall vote ‘Yes’ and all qualified voters desiring to vote in opposition of the question propounded shall vote ‘No.’ If more than one-half of the votes cast are in favor of imposing the Educational Sales Tax then such tax shall be imposed beginning upon the termination of the Educational Sales Tax presently in effect and shall cease to be imposed on the earlier of (a) 20 calendar quarters after the tax is imposed or (b) as of the end of the calendar quarter during which the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Revenue determines that the Educational Sales Tax will have raised revenues sufficient to provide to the Lamar County School District net proceeds equal to or greater than the amount specified as the estimated amount of net proceeds to be raised by the Educational Sales Tax. 3. The School District heretofore issued its Lamar County School District General Obligation Bonds, Series 2007 (Qualified Zone Academy Bonds), dated December 19, 2007, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the ‘Series 2007 Bonds’) and its Lamar County School District General Obligation Bonds, Series 2008, dated March 20, 2008, in the aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000 (the ‘Series 2008 Bonds’), as authorized by a majority of the voters in Lamar County voting in an election held on September 18, 2007. 4. If the Educational Sales Tax is approved by the voters on November 8, 2011 and imposed beginning January 1, 2013, proceeds to be received from the tax in the estimated amount of $11,000,000 shall be used, together with other moneys of the School District, to pay a portion of the debt service on the Series 2007 Bonds due December 19, 2018 and the Series 2008 Bonds due on October 1, 2013 through April 1, 2018. The School District may apply funds available in the sinking fund maintained for the outstanding Series 2008 Bonds to assist in the retirement of such bonds. 5. The specific capital outlay projects which the Board of Education currently expects to fund from general obligation debt and proceeds of the Educational Sales Tax are as follows: renovations and improvements Lamar County College and Career Academy; the retirement of a portion of the outstanding Series 2007 Bonds and the Series 2008 Bonds; renovations and improvements to existing schools buildings, including the primary, elementary, middle and high schools, maintenance facilities and the central office; acquisition of school buses, transportation vehicles and equipment, and maintenance vehicles; acquisition of computers and system-wide technology upgrades; upgrades and renovations to athletic facilities and physical education equipment; and textbooks, furnishings, band instruments, vocational equipment, and safety and security equipment. 6. The bonds, if authorized, shall be general obligation debt of the School District. The maximum rate or rates of interest on such debt shall not exceed eight percent (8.0%) per annum, the maximum amount of principal to be paid in any year during the life of the debt shall be $2,000,000, and the final year of maturity of such debt shall not be later than December 31, 2031. Congress, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ‘Recovery Act’), added Section 54F to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘Code’) and extended and expanded Section 54E, both of which permit state or local governments, including school districts, to obtain certain tax advantages when issuing certain taxable obligations, referred to as Qualified School Construction Bonds and Qualified Zone Academy Bonds, respectively. Congress further expanded these programs through the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) ACT to allow issuers to receive a Federal borrowing subsidy in lieu of designating them as tax credit bonds. Prior to the issuance of the bonds other federal or state programs may be approved which would reduce the overall borrowing costs to be incurred by the School District. Therefore, the School District reserves the right to issue such bonds in the form of Qualified School Construction Bonds (‘QSCBs’) or Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (‘QZABs’) or bonds authorized by other federal or state statutes if in the discretion of the Board of Education such issuance would reduce overall borrowing costs of the School District or would be otherwise in the best interest of the School District. If any bonds described in the preceding paragraph are issued, the Board of Education may issue all or a portion of such general obligation debt as a term bond with the maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000. The maximum rate or rates of interest on such debt shall not exceed eight percent (8.00%) per annum and the maximum amount of principal to be paid in any year during the life of the debt shall not exceed $2,000,000, and may be paid in a single year with the final maturity of such debt to be no later than December 31, 2031. 7. To the extent available, the School District may combine available funds from the State of Georgia with proceeds from the general obligation debt and proceeds received directly from the one percent sales and use tax for educational purposes, and any other available funds, to pay the costs of the capital outlay projects set forth in the form of the ballot question. Plans and specifications for these projects have not been completed and bids have not been received. Depending upon acquisition and construction costs and available funds, the School District may choose which capital outlay projects to undertake or not undertake, or to delay until additional funding is available, to the extent that proceeds of the general obligation debt and sales tax proceeds together with other available funds actually received by the School District, are insufficient to complete any of the capital outlay projects. 8. Reference is hereby made to Official Code of Georgia Annotated § 36-82-1(d), which provides in part that any brochures, listings, or other advertisements issued by the Board of Education or by any other person, firm, corporation or association with the knowledge and consent of the Board of Education shall be deemed to be a statement of intention of the Board of Education concerning the use of bond funds. 9. The election shall be held in accordance with applicable law by the same persons, in the same manner, and under the same rules and regulations that elections for members of the Board of Education are held. 10. The last day to register to vote in the election is Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Anyone desiring to register may do so by applying in person at the voter registration office located at 408 Thomaston Street, Suite D, Barnesville, Georgia, 30204, or by any other method authorized by the Georgia Election Code. 11. The election will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2011. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. This July 21, 2011. /s/Anita Reid, Lamar County Board of Elections and Registration, as Election Superintendent (10-4)(4)b)(ts)(aff)gpn9 The legal notices posted on the web site are for reference only.
