Re: Request for Public Hearing on School Construction Bonds
As you know, the Board of Supervisors agreed in principal to borrow an additional $12.0 million
for the Page Middle School Project. In addition, included in the fiscal year 2014 budget was a
$5.0 million borrowing for school HVAC and roof repairs/upgrades. Due to the costs associated
with selling school bonds, it makes fiscal sense to consolidate these needs into one bond issue
if it is the desire of the Board to move forward with both projects. In that each bond sale could
result in issuance costs of approximately $75,000 to $100,000, consolidating the needs could
result in a sizable savings to the County.
Ted Cole of Davenport and Company, the County’s financial advisors, will be at the July 2, 2013
meeting to discuss possible borrowing options (Case 1 = $12.0 million and Case 2 = $17.0
million) and the effects of those options on future County finances. A draft copy of his
presentation has been included in these materials for your review. Copies of the final
presentation will be distributed at the meeting.
Additionally, the Board will be respectfully asked to authorize a public hearing for August 6,
2013 in order to receive public comment on the matter. Bonnie France, bond counsel with
McGuire Woods, has helped prepare the attached resolution and public hearing notice. The
documents were prepared to delineate the amount to be used for the Page Middle School
project and the amount to be used for school HVAC and roof needs. While the total amount of
actual bond receipts are unknown at this time, the resolution is written in such a way that $12.0
million will be assigned to the Page Middle School project and any remaining receipts (expected
to be approximately $5.0 million) will be assigned to school HVAC and roof needs.
Finally, while the resolution and public hearing notice included with this memorandum have
been prepared in anticipation of the Board agreeing to hear comments on a combined
borrowing of $17.0 million, the documents can be easily modified to reduce or increase the
scope of the project.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

New Money Financings
County of Gloucester, VA
Following discussions with County Staff, Davenport & Company LLC (“Davenport”) has developed
two models examining Debt Affordability, which can be found on the following pages and are
comprised of the following:
Case 1: $12 Million New Money Financing (Page Middle School Only); and,
Case 2: $17 Million New Money Financing (Page Middle School and HVAC/Roof Projects).
Both Cases assume that the Borrowing occurs as part of the Fall 2013 Virginia Public School
Authority Pooled Bond Issuance.
A 20 Year Level Debt Service Structure has been assumed for both Cases.
Both Cases assume that 1¢ is equal to $400,000, and is not expected to grow in value.
While the VPSA Schedule is not expected to become available for another 1 2 weeks VPSA has

While the VPSA Schedule is not expected to become available for another 1 – 2 weeks, VPSA has
typically closed its Fall Pool Bond Issuance in the November timeframe (i.e. the County can likely
expect to receive funds around this time).

Observations
County of Gloucester, VA
Overall, this presentation has discussed capital, rather than focusing on operating costs. Any
additional/unfunded operating costs would be additive to the proposed tax impact model;
Debt Service on the $12 million Page Middle School Financing is estimated to have an impact thatDebt Service on the $12 million Page Middle School Financing is estimated to have an impact that
is roughly equivalent to 2.5¢ pennies (assuming each penny is worth $400,000);
Debt Service attributable to the $5 million HVAC and Roof Projects is estimated to have an
additional 1¢ equivalent impact, or 3.5¢ when combined with the Page Financing; and,
The County has historically managed its debt in a conservative fashion. Having policies in place is
i i f di i d “B P i ” i d h C h ld iseen as a positive from a credit rating and “Best Practice” perspective, and the County should strive
to follow these policies in its operating and capital planning efforts.

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) Rule G-17 requires an underwriter to deal fairly at all times with both municipal issuers and investors. The rule also requires an underwriter to
disclose that the underwriter’s primary role is to purchase securities with a view to distribution in an arm’s length commercial transaction with the issuer and the underwriter has financial and other interests
that differ from those of the issuer; unlike a municipal advisor, the underwriter does not have a fiduciary duty to the issuer under the federal securities laws and is, therefore, not required by federal law to
act in the best interest of the issuer without regard to its own financial or other interests; the underwriter has a duty to purchase securities from the issuer at a fair and reasonable price but must balance thatact in the best interest of the issuer without regard to its own financial or other interests; the underwriter has a duty to purchase securities from the issuer at a fair and reasonable price, but must balance that
duty with its duty to sell municipal securities to investors at prices that are fair and reasonable; the underwriter will review the official statement of the issuer’s securities in accordance with, and as part of,
its responsibilities to investors under the federal securities laws, as applied to the facts and circumstances of the transaction.
Davenport’s compensation when serving as an underwriter is normally contingent on the closing of a transaction. Clients generally prefer this arrangement so they are not obligated to pay a fee unless the
transaction is completed. However, MSRB Rule G-17 requires an underwriter to disclose that compensation that is contingent on the closing of a transaction or the size of a transaction presents a conflict
of interest, because it may cause the underwriter to recommend a transaction that is unnecessary or to recommend that the size of the transaction be larger than is necessary.
