<br />"Re: Industrial Revenue Bond Financing of B~uipment for Commercial Insurance A~ency
<br />
<br /> We are ~ctiBg as~.~-~n~ cnnnsel to PH Associates, a Virginia general partnership, which
<br />proposes to acquire certain computer, zerox and office machinery and equipment. PH Associate~
<br />proposes to finance the acquisition of such equipment with an indust?ial development revenue
<br />bond. On October 29, 1981, the Industrial Development Authority of the City of Norfolk
<br />adopted an Inducement Resolution whereby it agreed to use its bes efforts to issue its bond
<br />in the pricipal amount of $200,000 to finance the equipment for PH Associates. United Virgini
<br />
<br />Bank has agreed to purchase the bond.
<br />
<br /> PH Associates plans to use approximately $100,000 of the bond proceeds to purchase equip-
<br />ment for lease to Commercial Insurance Agency for use in its offices at 801 Loudoun Avenue
<br />in Portsmouth. Section 15.1-1378 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, requires the
<br />governing body of the city in which equipment is located that is being financed by an industri
<br />development authority of another city to concur in such financing.
<br />
<br /> We, therefore, hereby request the City Council of Portsmouth to adopt a resolution con-
<br />curring with an~ consenting to the issuance by the Industrial Development Authority of the
<br />City of Norfolk of its 1981 Industrial Development Revenue Bond (PH Associates Bquipment) in
<br />the principal amount of $200,000, the proceeds of which will be used to finance equipmenz for
<br />PH Associates to be located in both the Cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
