Information
Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action regarding a resolution relating to a public hearing and approving financing by Rogers Cultural Education Facilities Finance Corporation for the benefit of Goodwill Industries of Central Texas and Goodwill Temporary Services, Inc. and related matters in compliance with Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (Note: The proposed resolution approving the bonds does not create any liability for Williamson County).
Background
Attached is a letter providing details regarding this bond issuance. Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code provides the bonds must be approved by: (1) the governmental unit which issued such bond, or on behalf of which such bond was issued; and (2) generally, each governmental unit having jurisdiction over the area in which the facility is financed by the proceeds of such bond is located. Item (2) is where Williamson County is involved because Goodwill Industries of Central Texas and Goodwill Temporary Services, Inc. is building in Williamson County. Further, the approval must include a public hearing following reasonable public notice of the bond issuance. This requirement is commonly known as the "TEFRA requirement" because it was originally added to the Code by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA). Documentation supporting the notice and public hearing is attached. The bonds are not a liability of Williamson County.
