Staff does not anticipate that there will be such expenditures, but these items are placed on your agenda as a "just in case" measure to allow for the eventuality that there might be some delay in receipt of bond funds. These resolutions authorize reimbursement of any expenditures made prior to receipt of funds, resulting in no delays for any portions of the projects listed above. Current plans are for the General Obligation Bonds and the Certificates of Obligation to be sold March 7, 2000. Staff recommends approval of the Reimbursement Resolutions.
