Resolution 2024 - 15
BY THE REXBURG CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF REXBURG, MADISON, IDAHO
A resolution establishing a Commercial Property Assessed Capital Expenditure Program and Actions Related Thereto.
WHEREAS, the Commercial Property Assessed Capital Expenditure Act, Chapter 38 of Title 67, Idaho Code, as amended (the “Act”) authorizes municipalities, counties and other political
subdivisions of the State of Idaho to establish a commercial property assessed capital expenditure program (a “C-PACE Program”) to assist in financing the costs of certain renewable
energy, energy and water efficiency and resiliency improvements (the “Qualified Improvements”) owned by certain commercial, industrial, agricultural or multifamily housing property
owners through the levy of special assessments; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rexburg has determined that the financing of Qualified Improvements through special assessments is a valid public purpose; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rexburg previously adopted Resolution No. 2024-14 expressing its intent to establish a C-PACE Program and held a hearing to receive input from the public with respect
to the proposed C-PACE Program; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rexburg now desires to establish a C-PACE Program pursuant to the Act;
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Mayor and the Council of the City of Rexburg, as follows:
Section 1. The terms defined or described in the recitals hereto shall have the same meanings when used in the body of this Resolution. All other capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given such terms in the Act.
Section 2. Pursuant to the Act, the City of Rexburg hereby establishes the C-PACE Program with the terms set forth in the Program Guidebook attached hereto as Exhibit A as a means
to finance Qualified Projects and to authorize Special Assessments, entered into voluntarily by a Property Owner with the City of Rexburg by means of an Assessment Agreement for C-PACE
Financing, to repay the financing for Qualified Projects available to Property Owners.
Section 3. The sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this Resolution shall be severable. In the event that any such section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase
of this Resolution is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining portions of this Resolution are valid, unless the court finds the valid portions of the
Resolution are so essential to and inseparably connected with and dependent upon the void portion that it cannot be presumed that the Authority has enacted the valid portions without
the void ones, or unless the court finds that the valid portions, standing alone, are incomplete and are incapable of being executed in accordance with the legislative intent.
Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its approval and adoption.
Passed by the City Council and Approved by the Mayor this 6th Day of November 2024.
