RESOLUTION OF INTENT REGARDING PROPOSALS FOR THE SALE AND ISSUANCE OF REFUNDING BONDS OF THE PAWLING CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, DUTCHESS AND PUTNAM COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

WHEREAS, the Pawling Central School District, Dutchess and Putnam Counties, New York (hereinafter, the “District” or the “School District”) heretofore issued various serial bonds, pursuant to certain bond resolutions, to pay the cost of certain objects or purposes in and for said School District, as set forth in the associated bond certificates of the President of the Board of Education (the “Outstanding Bonds”); and

WHEREAS, Chapter 383 of the Laws of 2001 (the “Act”) significantly altered the method and timing whereby building aid from the State of New York will be paid to the School District; and

WHEREAS, in order for the School District to more closely align its outstanding bonded debt service to the new method and timing of State building aid payments under the new system of so-called “assumed amortization”, it will be necessary and prudent for the School District to consider the refunding of all, or one or more, or a portion of one or more of the Outstanding Bonds for which the School District expects to receive reduced State building aid payments pursuant to the provisions of the Act (the “Refunded Bonds”); and

WHEREAS, it may be in the public interest to refund all, or one or more, or a portion of one or more, of the Refunded Bonds, each by the issuance of refunding bonds pursuant to Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; and

WHEREAS, the School District has the power and authority to issue refunding bonds of the School District for the purpose of refunding and thereby refinancing the Refunded Bonds, including provision for incidental costs of issuance in connection therewith, pursuant to the provisions of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law of the State of New York and Section 3602(6)(g) of the Education Law (the “Refunding Laws”); and

WHEREAS, Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law requires that the School District adopt a refunding bond resolution which includes a refunding financial plan setting forth all of the details in connection with the proposed refunding transactions; and

WHEREAS, Section 3602(6)(g) of the Education Law of the State of New York requires that a school district which intends to so refund outstanding indebtedness from the proceeds of a refunding debt obligation of the school district, adopt a declaration of official intent to accept and consider proposals for the completion of such transaction at a regular public meeting to be held at least fourteen days after making such a declaration and prior to the determination to proceed with any such transaction; and

(c) In anticipation of the sale and issuance of the Bonds, the School District hereby states its intention to consider proposals for the refunding of the Refunded Bonds, including the requisite refunding financial plan or plans through the issuance of refunding bonds at its next public meeting to be held not earlier than fourteen days after the date hereof, on May 9, 2005 at Pawling Ele.
