			 the college and the American association of university professors includes

			 include, without limitation, the following principles:
(1) Policy recommendations initiated within
			 the Collegewide governance system will be sent to board committees through the
			 college president.

			 recommendations initiated outside the collegewide governance system may be
			 referred by the chairperson of the board, in consultation with the college

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3354:1 - Cuyahoga Community College › Chapter 3354:1-20 - Finances and Investments › Section 3354:1-20-07.1 - Tax-Exempt Debt Compliance Procedure

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Tax-exempt debt
The use of tax-exempt debt plays an important role in funding a
				significant portion of the (College's capital projects. As a result, the
				college realizes the importance of complying with federal and institutional
				requirements regarding the issuance and ongoing management of its tax-exempt
				debt. This procedure is intended to define compliance practices including
				compliance actions, records management, and process continuity within the
				administration and finance department.
(B) Definitions
Post-issuance debt compliance: The activities undertaken
				following the issuance of tax-exempt debt in order to comply with federal
				guidelines. Failure to comply with federal guidelines could potentially render
				the interest of debt as taxable to investors.
Tax-exempt debt (bonds) issued by the college: debt issued and
				managed (1) by the college; or (2) by a State authority at the request of the
				college and for which the college pays its pro-rata share of the debt
				service.
(C) Maintaining
			 tax-exempt status
Tax-exempt bonds are valid debt obligations used by the college
				to finance construction of facilities, permanent improvements, and to receive
				funds in anticipation of the collection of tax receipts. This tax-exempt status
				remains throughout the life of the debt provided that all applicable federal
				tax laws are satisfied. Post-issuance tax compliance begins with the debt
				issuance process itself and provides for a continuing focus on investments of
				debt proceeds and use of debt-financed property.
In order to maintain the debt status as tax-exempt, the college
				must comply with post-issuance debt requirements. Post-issuance compliance
				responsibilities include:
(1) Tracking
			 that proceeds of a debt issuance are spent on qualified tax-exempt debt
			 purposes;
(2) Maintaining detailed
			 records of all expenditures and investments related to debt funds;
(3) Ensuring the project financed is used in
			 a manner consistent with the legal requirements; and
(4) Providing necessary disclosure
			 information regarding financial and operating status annually.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024

			 potential needs upon general fund resources from other funds;

			 The potential impact on the entity's bond ratings and the corresponding
			 increased cost of borrowed funds;
The college shall maintain an unrestricted budgetary fund
				balance of no less than two months of regular general fund operating
				expenditures, plus amounts that are sufficient to provide stability and
				flexibility to address various factors as outlined, above. The college will

				operating and maintenance expenses may be affected.
(C) Asset management and replacement
Management should ensure adequate resources are allocated to
				maintain all assets and facilities at a level that protects capital investment
				and minimizes future maintenance and replacement costs. The college should

				monies from the general fund to satisfy those needs in order of
				importance.
