WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove, Cook and Lake Counties, Illinois (the "Village ") is a municipality and a home rule unit of government duly organized and validly existing under Section 6(a) of Article VII of the 1970 Constitution and laws of the State of Illinois; and WHEREAS, the availability of job opportunities to relieve conditions of unemployment and underemployment and the increase of business and commerce to reduce the evils associated with unemployment and underemployment are essential to the health, safety and general welfare of a community; and WHEREAS, in order to facilitate economic development both in the Village of Buffalo Grove and in Lake County, Illinois, the Village coordinates with Lake County Partners, serves as the Lake County Private Activity Bond Clearinghouse (the "PABC ") and has received Private Activity Bond Volume Cap ( "Bond Volume Cap ") from the Lake County Home Rule Municipalities; and WHEREAS, the DeBruler Company and Lake County Residential Company have requested that the PABC transfer $16,000,000 of Bond Volume Cap to the Illinois Housing Development ( "IHDA ") for use in financing a project known as Brookhaven Apartments (the "Brookhaven Project ") which is located at 150 Greenhaven Lane in Gurnee, Illinois, and consists of the rehabilitation of the 181 one, two, and three bedroom multi - family residential apartment complex; and WHEREAS, the PABC is interested in providing Bond Volume Cap for this purpose; WHEREAS, The DeBruler Company has indicated an intent to pay a fee equal to 1.0% of $16,000,000 (i.e., $160,000) for the Bond Volume Cap made available by the PABC; and WHEREAS, because Section 146 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), requires IHDA to use Bond Volume Cap in the order in which it is received, IHDA may elect to allocate Bond Volume Cap currently held at IHDA and carried forward from prior years. If IHDA elects to allocate its own Bond Volume Cap to the Project, then the Bond Volume Cap transferred herein may be used for such other purposes as IHDA elects, including carry forward permitted under the Code and the Private Activity Bond Allocation Act (the "Act "). Lake County Partners and the Village agree to cooperate with IHDA with respect to any filing needed under the Act to confirm a reallocation or transfer; and WHEREAS, any unused and unexpired Bond Volume Cap from the $16,000,000 transferred to IHDA for allocation to the Brookhaven Apartments shall be used to finance qualifying multi - family projects in Lake County as directed in writing by the PABC; and WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the Village, on behalf of the PABC, to transfer and reallocate $16,000,000 of 2008 Volume Cap to IHDA and thereby permit IHDA to issue tax - exempt private activity bonds to finance the application for the Project in Gurnee, Illinois; and WHEREAS, under the Act, the Village may reallocate to IHDA any unused portion of its Bond Volume Cap; and 0 WHEREAS, the Village will report this transfer of $16,000,000 of 2008 Volume Cap to the Illinois Bureau of the Budget as soon as reasonably possible.
