Mr. David read the notice into the record and read the prepared resolution declaring Weld County' s intent to authorize the issuance and sale of industrial development revenue bonds for Tri-County Hangar Company. Mr. David Wilkin, President of Tri-County Hangar Co. , was present. Mr. Wilkin stated they plan to construct 87 T-hangars. They are applying for revenue bonds because there is no other source of financing available for this type of structures. Mr. Warden said that Tri-County has received a loan guarantee from the Farmers Home Administration stating they will assume the obliga- tion if Tri-County defaults Rod Robertson was present on behalf of the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce and expressed their support for the bond request. There was no opposition present. Following discussion Commissioner Carlson made a motion to adopt the resolution declaring Weld County' s intent to issue industrial development revenue bonds for Tri-County Hangar Co. Commissioner Steinmark seconded the motion and stated she didn ' t feel this application met the general criteria for industrial development revenue bonds, however, if the private sector has to compete with municipalities then they must be given a chance also.

The following proposal contemplates that Weld County, Colorado (the "County" ) and Tri-County Hangar Company (the "Company") enter into a Financing Agreement providing for (i) the construction of certain hangar facilities (the "Project") and (ii) the permanent financing of such facilities. The Project will be located at the Tri-County Airport in Erie, Colorado, and will consist of the leasehold and buildings described on Schedule A attached hereto. To permanently finance the Project, we intend to borrow $974 ,400 (the "FmHA Loan") from The First National Bank of Denver (the "Bank" ) . We have applied with the Bank to the Farmers Home Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture ("FmHA") for a 90% guaranty of the FmHA Loan (under the FmHA Business and Industrial Guaranteed Loan Program) and a conditional loan guarantee has been issued by FmHA for our project. It is our understanding that the Bank does not intend to retain the entire principal amount of the FmHA Loan and desires to sell at least 90% of such amount to other institutions. We propose that the County and the Company enter into a Financing Agreement with respect to the Project as permitted by the Act. Under the Financing Agreement, the County will assist in the permanent financing of the Project and the Company will (1) construct the Project, (ii) award and administer any purchase orders and construction, (iii) pay all expenses incurred by the County in connection with financing the Project, and be responsible for (iv) maintenance and repair of the Project, (v) insuring the Project, and (vi) paying all taxes with respect to the Project. TRI COUNTY AIRPORT, ERIE, COLORADO 80516, AREA CODE 303.665.9306 To assist in the permanent financing of the Project, it is contemplated that the County will issue up to $1,110, 000 aggregate principal amount of its economic development revenue bonds. The bonds will be issued in two series and might be placed privately with institutional investors or sold to the public by underwriters to be selected by the Company. In this connection, we propose that Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania serve as bond counsel in connection with the issuance of the bonds. Attached hereto is their letter indicating that the Project falls within the intent and the meaning of the Act. The net proceeds of the bonds will be deposited in an escrow fund held by a corporate trustee designated by the Company and satisfactory to the County. The escrow fund will be used (i) to purchase the guaranteed portion (90%) of the FmHA Loan, (ii) to participate with the Bank in the unguaranteed portion of the FmHA Loan, (iii) to fund such Debt Service Reserve Funds as may be required, and (iv) to pay any costs of financing to the extent moneys are available therefor. The portions of the FmHA Loan purchased with bond proceeds will be used to take out part of the construction financing for the Project. The purchase of such portions of the FmHA Loan will in effect constitute a loan of the bond proceeds to the Company for the permanent financing of the Project. The Company will pay for any costs of the Project not funded with bond proceeds. Upon the purchase of such portions of the FmHA Loan, the County will acquire the Company' s notes (the "Notes" ) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the County' s bonds bearing interest at the rate on the County' s bonds, payable at times and in amounts corresponding to payments on the bonds . The County' s right to receive payments on the Notes will be assigned to the corporate trustee under a trust indenture for the benefit of the County ' s bondholders. The County' s bonds will be special obligations of the County, payable solely from the County' s revenues derived from the Project represented by payments on the Notes and such obligations will not pledge the credit or taxing power of the County. For purposes of qualifying the Project as a project under the Act, we hereby represent that, and we ask that in approving the Project you find that: A. The Project constitutes a "project" for purposes of the Act in that it consists of real or personal properties, other than inventories, raw materials and working capital, suitable or used for or in connection with a business enterprise, in particilar storage facilities directly related to an airport. -2- B., The Project will promote the public purposes of the Act and the safety, welfare, convenience and prosperity of the inhabitants of Colorado by promoting industry and developing trade through the inducement of the Company to locate and expand its operations in Colorado, thus mitigating a threat of unemployment and securing a balanced and stabled economy in Colorado. If the foregoing is satisfactory to you, please indicate your approval of the Project and your undertaking of the financing thereof by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this letter.
