LEGAL NOTICE

NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF CROTHERSVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Owners of real property, and registered voters residing in, the Crothersville Community Schools (the “School Corporation”), are hereby given notice that the Board of School Trustees of the School Corporation (the “Board”), having held meetings and two separate public hearings pursuant to Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.5 and Indiana Code 5-3-1, on December 9, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at the School Corporation’s Central Office at 201 South Preston Street, Crothersville, Indiana 47229, adopted a resolution (the “Resolution”) making a preliminary determination to undertake: (i)(a) comprehensive HVAC upgrades, renovations, replacements and repairs at all school corporation facilities, (b) related heating, cooling, air handler system and chiller repairs, equipping and upgrades, (c) boiler repairs, replacements and upgrades, (d) related plumbing and electrical renovations, (e) cafetorium sound system upgrades and improvements, (f) fire alarm upgrades, (g) parking lot repairs, and (h) other replated repairs, upgrades and renovations (items ((a) through (h) collectively, the “Project”), and (ii) to the extent permitted by law to take all of the necessary steps to finance all or a portion of the costs of all, of the Project by entering into a proposed lease or leases or an amendment or amendments to an existing lease (the “Lease”) between one or more Indiana school building corporations, as lessor (collectively, the “Building Corporation”), and the School Corporation, as lessee, relating to all or any portion of the school facilities operated by the School Corporation. If a Lease is entered into, the Building Corporation will issue one or more series of ad valorem property tax first mortgage bonds secured by and payable from the lease payments under the proposed Lease (the “Bonds”).

The total maximum original aggregate principal amount of the Bonds will not exceed $13,750,000. The maximum term for each series of Bonds will not exceed twenty (20) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the debt service payments on the Bonds payable from lease rentals under the Lease shall not exceed a term of twenty (20) years. The Lease with respect to the Bonds will have a term not to exceed twenty-two (22) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the debt service payments on the Bonds payable from lease rentals under the Lease shall not exceed a term of twenty-two (22) years. Based on the estimated interest rates that will be paid in connection with the Bonds of 5.00%, the total interest cost associated therewith, is $9,750,000, not taking into account any funds of the School Corporation or Building Corporation being available for capitalized interest. The maximum annual lease rental to be paid by the School Corporation under the Lease related to the Bonds is $1,570,000 and the maximum total lease rental related to the Bonds over the term of the Lease is $31,400,000, not taking into account any funds of the Building Corporation available for capitalized interest. The School Corporation’s certified total debt service fund tax levy for 2024 (which is the most recent certified tax levy) is $904,895 and the School Corporation’s debt service fund tax rate for 2024 (which is the most recent certified tax rate) is $0.5553 per $100 of assessed value. The School Corporation’s estimated total debt service fund tax levy for 2025 is $977,784 and the School Corporation’s estimated debt service fund tax rate for 2025 is $0.5311 per $100 of assessed value. The estimated total maximum debt service fund tax levy for the School Corporation and the estimated total maximum debt service fund tax rate for the School Corporation after the issuance of the Bonds are anticipated to occur no earlier than 2026 and will be $1,435,878 and $.7800 per $100 of assessed value, respectively, as a result of the payment of the lease rentals under the Lease. The percent of the School Corporation’s outstanding long term debt after the issuance of the Bonds, together with the outstanding long term debt of other taxing units that include any of the territory of the School Corporation, compared to the net assessed value of taxable property within the School Corporation is approximately 11.41%. The estimated completion date of the Project is within three years of the issuance of the Bonds. The Board estimates that there will not be an increase in operational costs as a result of the Project. The School Corporation does not expect to appeal for a new facility adjustment for an increased maximum permissible tuition support levy to pay any increased estimated operating costs as a result of the Project.

The estimated amount of the School Corporation’s debt service levy and rate that will result during the following 10 years if the School Corporation enters the Lease, after also considering any changes that will occur to the debt service levy and rate during that period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that will mature or terminate during that period is as follows:

Year

Estimated Total

Debt Service Levy

Debt Service Rate

2024 $904,895 (1) $0.5553 (1)

2025 977,784 0.5311

2026 1,435,878 0.7800

2027 1,435,878 0.7800

2028 1,435,878 0.7800

2034 1,437,709 0.7810

2035 1,437,709 0.7810

(1) Per the School Corporation’s 2024 Budget Order.

The result of the School Corporation’s current and projected annual debt service payments divided by the net assessed value of taxable property in the School Corporation is 0.78%. The result of the sum of the School Corporation’s outstanding long term debt plus the outstanding long term debt of other taxing units in the School Corporation divided by the net assessed value of taxable property in the School Corporation is 11.41%

Petitions requesting the application of the local public question process to the proposed Lease related to the Project may be filed with the Jackson County Voter Registration Office within thirty (30) days after the date of publication of this notice in the manner provided by Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.5. If a sufficient petition requesting the application of the local public question process to the proposed Lease related to the Project has been filed as set forth in Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.5, the proposed Lease related to the Project must be approved in an election on a local public question held under Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.6. In the event that a sufficient petition requesting the application of the local public question process to the proposed Lease related to the Project has been filed as set forth in Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.5, the Superintendent of the School Corporation (the “Superintendent”) or his designee is authorized to work with the School Corporation’s Municipal Advisor to submit a form of question with respect to the Project, the Lease and the Bonds in accordance with, and which conforms to Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.6.
