PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to the provisions of the Local Building Authority Act, Title 17D, Chapter 2, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, and the Local Government Bonding Act, Title 11, Chapter 14, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended (together, the “Act”), that on June 11, 2026, the Governing Board (the “Board”) of the Local Building Authority of Hurricane Valley Fire Special Service District, Utah (the “Authority”) adopted a resolution (the “Resolution”) declaring its intention to issue its Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2026 (the “Bonds”), and calling a public hearing to receive input from the public with respect to the issuance of the Bonds.
TIME, PLACE AND LOCATION OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Authority shall hold a public hearing on July 9, 2026, at the hour of 6:00 p.m. The location of the public hearing is at the Fire Station #46/64, 56 North Coral Canyon Boulevard, Hurricane, Utah. The purpose of the hearing is to receive input from the public with respect to: (a) the proposed Bonds, and (b) any potential economic impact that the improvements, facility or property financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of the Bonds may have on the private sector. All members of the public are invited to attend and participate.
PURPOSE FOR ISSUING BONDS
The Authority intends to issue the Bonds to provide funds to (a) finance all or a portion of the construction of one or more fire stations within the District, and all related improvements (the “Series 2026 Project”); (b) fund any required debt service reserve fund; and (c) pay costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds.
PARAMETERS OF THE BONDS
The Authority intends to issue the Bonds in a principal amount of not to exceed Twenty-Two Million Dollars ($22,000,000), to bear interest at a rate or rates of not to exceed six percent (6.00%) per annum, to mature in not more than twenty-six (26) years from their date or dates, and to be sold at a price not less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the total principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of delivery of the Bonds.
The Bonds are to be issued and sold by the Authority pursuant to the Resolution, including as attachments to said Resolution a form of the General Indenture of Trust and First Supplemental Indenture of Trust (collectively, the “Indenture”) and a form of a Master Lease Agreement (the “Lease”), which were before the Board at the time of the adoption of the Resolution. The Indenture and the Lease are to be executed by the Authority and/or the District with such terms and provisions and any changes thereto as authorized by the Resolution.
SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
The Bonds are payable solely from the rents, revenues and other income received by the Authority from the leasing of the Series 2026 Project to the District on an annually renewable basis (the “Lease Revenues”).
OUTSTANDING BONDS SECURED BY LEASE REVENUES
The Authority currently has no bonds outstanding secured by Lease Revenues.

For additional information, including any more recent than as of the date of the Financial Report please contact Melinda Falaniko, District Clerk at (435) 635-9562.
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST
Based on an estimate of the current interest rate and financing plan, the estimated total debt service cost of the Bonds, if held until maturity, is $43,987,000.

If written petitions which have been signed by at least twenty percent (20%) of the active voters of the District are filed with the Authority during said 30-day period, the Authority shall be required to hold an election to obtain voter authorization prior to the issuance of the Bonds. If fewer than twenty percent (20%) of the active voters of the District file a written petition during said 30-day period, the Authority may proceed to issue the Bonds without an election.
