WHEREAS, the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada System (the "Board" and the "University", re-
spectively) have determined that it is necessary and
desirable and in the best interests of the University
and the inhabitants of the State that Western Nevada
Community College construct, acquire and equip an ad-
ditional building for its branch Campus at Fallon,
Nevada (the "Project") and that financing be obtained
in order to provide funds with which to acquire the
Project; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined and hereby determines
that the aggregate amount of tax-exempt obligations
issued by the University during calendar year 1988 is
not expected to exceed $10,000,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF REGENTS
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA SYSTEM:
Section 1. The Chancellor or such person as the Chan-
cellor may designate are hereby authorized to solicit
proposals for a loan to the University for the benefit
of the Western Nevada Community College in the amount
of not exceeding $525,000 for the purpose of financing
the Project.
Section 2. The Board hereby designates the loan made
in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof
as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" for the purposes

as amended.
Section 3. This resolution shall be in full force and
effect on its passage and approval.

rently being expended on a rental facility. The loan will

sibly being adjusted at the end of the first 10 years.
