FROM: Judith Tangalin, Executive Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Approving the issuance of a tax-exempt note by the Oglesby Cultural Facilities Corporation for Heart of Texas Goodwill Industries, Inc.; and providing an effective date
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Heart of Texas Goodwill Industries, Inc. intends to finance the construction and equipping of a Goodwill store, warehouse, and community center at 4901 Stan Schlueter Loop, Killeen, Texas.
Goodwill plans to finance the project with a tax-exempt note issued by the Oglesby Cultural Facilities Corporation, with a maximum principal amount of $7,000,000. The proceeds from this note will be loaned to Goodwill for the project.
A public hearing regarding this financing and the project was held on May 23, 2024, conducted by Andrew Clark, the designated hearing officer of the Oglesby Corporation, following the required public notice.
The City of Killeen's approval is sought to satisfy legal requirements under Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 221.030(a)(1)(B) of the Texas Health and Safety Code. This approval is necessary for the tax-exempt status of the note and the exercise of the Oglesby Corporation's powers within the city.
The City Council's approval is solely for satisfying these specific legal requirements. The approval does not grant any other permits or approvals needed for the project, such as building permits or zoning approvals. The city will not be liable for the note or the project in any manner.
