BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education of the Beaver Local School District, County of Columbiana, State of Ohio:

Section 1. Purpose. It is necessary to issue bonds (the “Bonds”) of the School District for the purpose of constructing, renovating, and rehabilitating buildings and facilities for school purposes; acquiring furniture, furnishings, and equipment for school buildings and facilities; and improving the sites of school buildings and facilities. The Bonds will be issued to pay the School District’s portion of the basic project cost of the classroom facilities project approved by the Ohio School Facilities Commission, and will be in an amount not less than the School District’s portion of that cost.

Section 2. Election. Under the provisions of Sections 133.18, 3318.05, and 3318.06, Ohio Revised Code, the question of issuing the Bonds will be submitted to the voters of the District at the May 8, 2007 primary election.

February 5, 2007 – Regular Meeting

M-07.28 BOND RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY (Continued): Section 3. Bond Terms. The Bonds will have the following terms:

(a) They will be issued in the amount of $17,000,000.

(b) They will be dated approximately September 1, 2007. (c) They will bear interest at a rate presently estimated at 4.75% per annum.

(d) They will mature over a period of years not to exceed 28 years. That term is not greater than the maximum maturity calculated under Section 133.20, Revised Code, as determined by this Board, based on the certificate of the Treasurer presented to this Board.

Section 4. Tax Levy. It is necessary to levy a tax, outside of the ten-mill limitation imposed by Section 5705.02, Revised Code, to pay the debt charges on the Bonds and on any anticipatory securities issued in anticipation of the Bonds.

Section 5. Certification to County Auditor. This Board authorizes and directs the Treasurer of this Board to immediately certify a copy of this resolution to the Columbiana County Auditor, his calculation of the average annual property tax levy, expressed in dollars and cents for each one hundred dollars of tax valuation and in mills for each one dollar of tax valuation, required throughout the stated maturity of the Bonds to pay the debt charges on the Bonds, assuming (a) the Bonds are all issued in one series, (b) they bear interest at 4.80% per annum, (c) they mature in substantially equal principal amounts in each year over 28 years, and (d) the amount of the tax valuation for this School District remains the same throughout the maturity of the Bonds.

Section 6. Approval of Superintendent of Public Instruction and Tax Commissioner. Because the issuance of the Bonds would cause the net indebtedness of this School District to exceed 4% of its assessed valuation, this Board authorizes and directs the Treasurer to request the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Tax Commissioner, if necessary, to consent to the submission of the question of issuing the Bonds to the electors, in accordance with Section 133.06(C), Revised Code.

Section 7. Open Meetings. This Board finds and determines that all formal actions of this Board relating to the enactment of this resolution were taken in an open meeting of this Board, and that all deliberations of this Board and of any of its committees that resulted in those formal actions were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements including Section 121.22, Revised Code.

BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education of the Beaver Local School District, County of Columbiana, State of Ohio:

Section 1. Purpose. It is necessary to issue bonds (the “Bonds”) of the School District for the purpose of constructing, renovating, and rehabilitating buildings and facilities for school purposes; acquiring furniture, furnishings, and equipment for school buildings and facilities; and improving the sites of school buildings and facilities. The Bonds will be issued to pay the School District’s portion of the basic project cost of the classroom facilities project approved by the Ohio School Facilities Commission, and will be in an amount not less than the School District’s portion of that cost.

Section 2. Election. Under the provisions of Sections 133.18, 3318.05, and 3318.06, Ohio Revised Code, the question of issuing the Bonds will be submitted to the voters of the District at the November 6, 2007 general election.

Section 3. Bond Terms. The Bonds will have the following terms: (a) They will be issued in the amount of $17,000,000. (b) They will be dated approximately December 1, 2007. 75 BEAVER LOCAL BOARD OF EDUCATION BOARD MINUTES 2007

August 13, 2007 – Regular Meeting

M-07.187 BOND RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY (Continued): (c) They will bear interest at a rate presently estimated at 6.00% per annum.

(d) They will mature over a period of years not to exceed 28 years. That term is not greater than the maximum maturity calculated under Section 133.20, Revised Code, as determined by this Board, based on the certificate of the Treasurer presented to this Board.

Section 4. Tax Levy. It is necessary to levy a tax, outside of the ten-mill limitation imposed by Section 5705.02, Revised Code, to pay the debt charges on the Bonds and on any anticipatory securities issued in anticipation of the Bonds.

Section 5. Certification to County Auditor. This Board authorizes and directs the Treasurer of this Board to immediately certify a copy of this resolution to the Columbiana County Auditor, her calculation of the average annual property tax levy, expressed in dollars and cents for each one hundred dollars of tax valuation and in mills for each one dollar of tax valuation, required throughout the stated maturity of the Bonds to pay the debt charges on the Bonds, assuming (a) the Bonds are all issued in one series, (b) they bear interest at 6.00% per annum, (c) they mature in substantially equal principal amounts in each year over 28 years, and (d) the amount of the tax valuation for this School District remains the same throughout the maturity of the Bonds.

Section 6. Approval of Superintendent of Public Instruction and Tax Commissioner. Because the issuance of the Bonds would cause the net indebtedness of this School District to exceed 4% of its assessed valuation, this Board authorizes and directs the Treasurer to request the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Tax Commissioner, if necessary, to consent to the submission of the question of issuing the Bonds to the electors, in accordance with Section 133.06(C), Revised Code.

Section 7. Open Meetings. This Board finds and determines that all formal actions of this Board relating to the enactment of this resolution were taken in an open meeting of this Board, and that all deliberations of this Board and of any of its committees that resulted in those formal actions were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements including Section 121.22, Revised Code.

Section 8. Effective Date. This resolution will be in full force and effect immediately upon its enactment.
