Commissioner Darga offered the following resolution and moved its adoption. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Lang.
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the County of Presque Isle (the “County”) has
heretofore adopted a resolution establishing the Presque Isle County Delinquent Tax Revolving
Fund ( the “Fund”) pursuant to Section 87b of Act No. 206, Public Acts of Michigan, 1893, as
amended (“Act 206”); and
1
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Fund is to allow the Presque Isle County Treasurer (the “County
Treasurer”) to pay from the Fund any or all delinquent real property taxes that are due and payable
to the County and any school district, intermediate school district, community college district, city,
township, special assessment district, the State of Michigan or any other political unit for which
delinquent tax payments are due; and
WHEREAS, it is hereby determined to be necessary for the Country to borrow money and issues its
notes for the purposes authorized by Act 206, particularly Sections 87c, 87d and 87g therefore; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that the total amount of unpaid 2014 delinquent real property taxes (the
“delinquent taxes”) outstanding on March 1, 2015, will be approximately $_________, exclusive of
interest, fees and penalties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the County of Presque
Isle, State of Michigan, as follows:
Authorization of Borrowing
1. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Act 206, Public Acts of Michigan, 1893,
as amended, and especially Sections 87c, 87d and 87g thereof, the County shall borrow the
sum of not to exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and issue its notes (the “notes”)
therefor for the purpose of continuing the Fund for the 2014 tax year. The exact amount to
be borrowed shall not exceed the amount of delinquent taxes outstanding on March 1, 2015,
exclusive of interest, fees and penalties. The County Treasurer shall designate the exact
amount to be borrowed after the amount of the 2014 delinquent taxes outstanding on March
1, 2015, or the portion of the 2014 delinquent taxes against which the County shall borrow,
has been determined.
Note Details
2. Pursuant to provisions of applicable law and an order of the County Treasurer, which order is
hereby authorized, the notes may be issued in one or more series; shall be known as
“General Obligation Limited Tax Notes, Series 2015: with a letter designation added thereto
if the notes are issued in more than one series; shall be in fully registered form in
denominations not exceeding the aggregate principal amounts for each maturity of the
notes; shall be sold for not less than 98% of the face amount of the notes; shall bear interest
at fixed or variable rates not to exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable
law; shall be dated, payable as to interest and in principal amounts, be subject to redemption
in whole or in part prior to maturity, including any redemption premiums, and be subject to
renewal, at such times and in such amounts, all shall be designated in the order of the
County Treasurer. Notes or portions of notes called for redemption shall not bear interest
after the redemption date, provided funds are on hand with the note registrar and paying
agent to redeem the same. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner prescribed by
the County Treasurer, including the number of days’ notice of redemption and whether such
notice shall be written or publish, or both. If any notes of any series are to bear interest at a
variable rate or rates, the County Treasurer is hereby further authorized to establish by
order, and in accordance with law, a means by which interest on such notes may be set,
reset or calculated prior to maturity, provided that such rate or rates shall at no time to be
excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. Such rates may be
established by reference to the minimum rate that would be necessary to sell the notes at
par; by a formula that is determined with respect to an index or indices of municipal
obligations, reported prices or yields on obligations of the United States or the prime rate or
2
rates of a bank or banks selected by the County Treasurer; or by any other method selected
by the County Treasurer.
Payment of Principal and Interest
3. The principal of and interest on the notes shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States from such funds and accounts as provided herein. Principal shall be payable upon
presentation and surrender of the notes to the note registrar and paying agent when as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity or earlier redemption. Interest shall be paid to

County Treasurer. Interest on the notes shall be paid when due by check or draft drawn
upon and mailed by the note registrar and paying agent to the registered owner at the
registered address, or by such other method as determined by the County Treasurer.
Note Registrar and Paying Agent
4. The County Treasurer shall designate, and may enter into an agreement with, a note
registrar and paying agent for each series of notes that shall be the County Treasurer or a
bank or trust company that is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the United
States of America or the State of Michigan. The County Treasurer may from time to time
designate a similarly qualified successor note registrar and paying agent. Alternatively, the
County Treasurer may serve as note registrar and paying agent if so designated by written
order of the County Treasurer.
Disposition of Note Proceeds
5. The proceeds of the sale of the notes shall be deposited into a separate account in the Fund
and shall be used to continue the Fund. The County Treasurer shall pay therefrom from
unpledged funds in the Fund, uncommitted funds in the County General Fund and/or any
other legally available funds, if the notes are sold at a discount, the full amount of the
delinquent tax roll against which the County has borrowed, delivered as uncollected by any
tax collector in the County and that is outstanding and unpaid on or after March 1, 2015, in
accordance with the provisions of Act 206. If the notes are sold at a premium, the County
Treasurer shall determine what portion of the premium, if any, shall be deposited in the 2015
Collection Account established in Section 6 hereof.
2015 Collection Account
6. There is hereby established as part of the Fund an account (hereby designated the “2015
Collection Account”) into which account the County Treasurer shall place delinquent taxes

of issuance of the notes have been paid, any premium as determined pursuant to Section 5
hereof, and any amounts received by the County Treasurer from the County , State of
Michigan and any taxing unit within the County, because of uncollectibility of such delinquent
taxes. The foregoing are hereby established as funds pledged to note repayment. The
County Treasurer shall designate the delinquent taxes against which the County shall
borrow for each series of notes.
3
Note Reserve Fund
7. There is hereby authorized to be established by the County Treasurer a note reserve fund for
the notes (the “2015 Note Reserve Fund”) if the County Treasurer deems it to be reasonably
required as a reserve and advisable in selling the notes at public or private sale. The
County Treasurer is authorized to deposit in the 2015 Note Reserve Fund from proceeds of
the sale of the notes, unpledged moneys in the Fund, uncommitted funds in the County
General Fund and/or any other legally available funds, an amount not exceeding ten percent
(10%) of the face amount of the notes.
Security for Payments of Notes
8. All of the moneys in the 2015 Collection Account and the 2015 Note Reserve Fund, if
established, and all interest earned thereon, relating to a series of notes are hereby pledged
equally and ratably as to such series to the payment of the principal of and interest on the
notes and shall be used solely for that purpose until such principal and interest have been
paid in full. When moneys in the 2015 Note Reserve Fund, if established, are sufficient to
pay the outstanding principal of the notes and the interest accrued thereon, such moneys
may be used to retire the notes. If more than one series of notes is issued, the County
Treasurer by order shall establish the priority of the funds pledged for payment of each such
series. In such case the County Treasurer may establish sub-accounts in the various funds
and accounts established pursuant to the terms of this resolution as may be necessary or
appropriate.
Additional Security
9. Each series of notes, in addition, shall be a general obligation of the County, secured by its
full faith and credit, which shall include the County’s limited tax obligation, within applicable
constitutional and statutory limits, and its general funds. The County budget shall provide
that if the pledged delinquent taxes and any other pledged amounts are not collected in
sufficient amounts to meet the payments of principal and interest due on each series of
notes, the County, before paying any other budgeted amounts, will promptly advance from
its general funds sufficient moneys to pay that principal and interest. The County shall not
have the power to impose taxes for payment of the notes in excess of constitutional or
statutory limitations. If moneys in the 2015 Collection Account and the 2015 Note Reserve
Fund, if established, are not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the notes, when
due, the County shall pay the same in accordance with this section, and may thereafter
reimburse itself from the delinquent taxes collected.
Release of Pledge of 2015 Collection Account
10.Upon the investment of money in the 2015 Collection Account in direct non-callable
obligations of the United States of America in amounts and with maturities that are sufficient
to pay in full the principal of and interest on the notes when due, any moneys in the 2015
Collection Account thereafter remaining may be released from such pledge created pursuant
to Section 8 hereof and may be used to pay any or all delinquent real property taxes that are
due the County and any school district, intermediate school district, community college
district, city, township, special assessment district, the State of Michigan or any other
political unit to which delinquent tax payments are due for any year or for any other purpose
permitted by law.

11.The County Treasurer is hereby authorized to offer the notes at public or private sale as
determined by order of the County Treasurer and to do all things necessary to effectuate the
sale, delivery, transfer and exchange of notes in accordance with the provisions of this
resolution. Notes of one series may be offered for sale and sold separately from notes of
another series. If the notes are to be sold publicly, sealed proposals for the purchase of the
notes shall be received by the County Treasurer for such public sale to be held at such time

to do all other things necessary to enable compliance with the Rule. After the award of the

(e)(3) of the Rule) on a timely basis and in reasonable quantity as requested by the
successful bidder or bidders to enable such successful bidder or bidders to comply with
paragraph (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
Continuing Disclosure
12.The County Treasurer is hereby authorized to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf
of the County (i) a certificate of the County to comply with the requirements for a continuing
disclosure undertaking of the County pursuant to subsection (b)(5) or (d)(2) of the Rule, as
applicable, and (ii) amendments to such certificate from time to time in accordance with the
terms of such certificate (the certificate and any amendments thereto are collectively
referred to herein as the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”). The County hereby covenants
and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate. The remedies for any failure of the County to comply with and carry
out the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall be as set forth therein.

by manual or facsimile signature and the County Treasurer shall cause the County seal or a
facsimile thereof to be impressed or imprinted on the notes. Unless the County Treasurer
shall specify otherwise in writing, fully registered notes shall be authenticated by the manual
signature of the note registrar and paying agent. After the notes have been executed and
authenticated, if applicable, for delivery to the original purchaser thereof, the County
Treasurer shall deliver the notes to the purchaser or purchasers thereof upon receipt of the
purchase price. Additional notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the County
Treasurer and upon which the seal of the County or a facsimile thereof is impressed or
imprinted may be delivered to the note registrar and paying agent for authentication, if
applicable, and delivery in connection with the exchange or transfer of fully registered notes.
The note registrar and paying agent shall indicate on each note that it authenticates the date
of its authentication. The notes shall be delivered with the approving legal opinion of
Dickinson Wright PLLC.

Exchange and Transfer of Fully Registered Notes
14.Any fully registered note, upon surrender thereof to the note registrar and paying agent with
a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the note registrar and paying agent duly
executed by the registered owner or his or her duly authorized attorney, at the option of the
registered owner thereof, may be exchanged for notes of any other authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the
same rate of interest as the surrendered note.
Each note shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which shall be kept for
that purpose by the note registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such note together
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the note registrar and paying agent duly
executed by the registered owner of his or her duly authorized attorney.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any note, the note registrar and paying agent on behalf of
the County shall cancel the surrendered note and shall authenticate, if applicable, and deliver
to the transferee a new note or notes of any authorized denomination of the same aggregate
principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered
note. If, at the time the note registrar and paying agent authenticates, if applicable, and
delivers a new note pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the notes is in default,
the note registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new note the following: “Payment
of interest on this note is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is (place
date).”
The County and the note registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in
whose name any note shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute
owner of such note, whether such note shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment of the principal of and interest on such note and for all other purposes, and all
payments made to any such registered owner, or upon his or her order, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3 hereof shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor
the note registrar and paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The
County agrees to indemnify and save the note registrar and paying agent harmless from and
against any and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in
good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of notes, the County or the note registrar and paying agent
may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be
paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the
exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The note registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange notes or
portions of notes that have been selected for redemption.
Book Entry System
15.At the option of the County Treasurer and notwithstanding any provisions of this resolution to
the contrary, the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with a
custodian or trustee for the purpose of establishing a “book entry” system for registration of
notes to be fully registered. Pursuant to the provisions of such agreement, the notes may be
registered in the name of the custodian or trustee for the benefit of other persons or entities.
6
Such agreement shall provide for the keeping of accurate records and prompt transfer of
funds by the custodian or trustee on behalf of such persons or entities. The agreement may
provide for the issuance by the custodian or trustee of certificates evidencing beneficial
ownership of the notes by such persons or entities. For the purpose of payment of the
principal of and interest on the notes, the County may deem payment of such principal and

PROCLAMATION - SOCIAL HOST AWARENESS MONTH
APRIL 2015 IS SOCIAL HOST AWARENESS MONTH
WHEREAS, adults who provide alcohol to those below the legal drinking age of 21 are placing those youth at
risk for health, safety and legal problems, and
WHEREAS, alcohol is the drug of choice among America’s adolescents and is used by more young people
than tobacco or illicit drugs. More than one fifth of youth begin drinking before age 13: and
WHEREAS, underage drinking contributed to a wide range of costly health and social problems, including
motor vehicle crashes (the greatest single mortality risk for underage drinkers); suicide; interpersonal violence
(e.g. homicides, assaults, rapes); unintentional injuries such as burns, falls, and drowning; brain impairment;
alcohol dependence; risky sexual activity; academic problems; and alcohol and drug poisoning; and
WHEREAS, on average, alcohol is a factor in the deaths of approximately 4,700 young people in the United
States per year, shortening their lives by an average of 60 years; and
WHEREAS, Research shows that young people’s brains keep developing well into their 20s. Alcohol can alter
this development, potentially affecting both brain structure and function. This may cause cognitive or learning
problems and/or make the brain more prone to alcohol dependence. This is especially a risk when people start
drinking young and drink heavily; and
WHEREAS, according to the 2014 Michigan Profile for Healthy Youth report, of 14 counties of northern
Michigan who participated, an average of 23.8% of 9th graders and 49.6% of 11th graders have been drunk in
their lifetime. Of these reporting students, who drank recently, 58.9% reported that they usually drank alcohol
at another person’s home during the past 30 days.
WHEREAS, one-hundred percent of any alcohol consumed by a minor came from an adult. At one time, an
adult over the age of 21 was in control of the alcohol and a minor gained access to it, and
WHEREAS, it is illegal for adults to knowingly allow their child’s friends to drink alcohol in their home, even with
the permission of the friends’ parents, and adults have the authority and should have the responsibility to take
steps to reduce the likelihood that their homes will become venues for underage drinking, and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, we the Board of Commissioners of Presque Isle County do hereby
proclaim that April 2015 is Social Host Awareness Month, We also call upon all parents, citizens, homeowners
and property owners to host gatherings responsibly and take measures to eliminate access of alcohol to
persons under the age of 21.
Motion by Commissioner Darga and seconded by Commissioner Lang to adopt the above proclamation and
authorize the Chairman to sign.
