BACKGROUND: 

Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, prior to their issuance, the bonds are required to be approved by the “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit having jurisdiction over the area in which the project is located, after a public hearing is held following reasonable public notice. Consequently, approval of the Board is needed to meet the requirements of Section 147(f).

On December 7, 2021, the Board conducted a public hearing and approved a resolution authorizing the Clark County Hospital Project and the issuance by the Arizona Industrial Development Authority of the portion of the Bonds allocated to the Clark County Hospital Project. Due to the pandemic, there were delays in licensing two of the hospitals involved in the issuance of the bonds, so the marketing and selling of the bonds was not able to commence. 

Since approvals expire after one year, on December 6, 2022, the Board conducted a public hearing and approved a second resolution authorizing the issuance by the Arizona Industrial Development Authority of the portion of the Bonds allocated to the Clark County Hospital Project.  Due to complications in the market, approval of a third resolution is required.  This resolution also changes the bond issuer to Public Finance Authority.
