The resolution authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $13.7 million in revenue bonds to support The Methodist Home of the District of Columbia, also known as Forest Hills of DC by Goodwin Living. The funds will be allocated for various projects, including the renovation and improvement of nursing and assisted living facilities, as well as the acquisition and renovation of a facility dedicated to residents with Alzheimer's disease. The resolution delineates the responsibilities of the Mayor and other authorized delegates in overseeing the bond issuance process and ensuring adherence to applicable laws.
Importantly, the bonds will be classified as special obligations of the District, meaning they will not create any debt or financial liability for the District or its officials. The repayment will be secured solely from the proceeds of the bond sale and other designated revenues. The resolution also clarifies that the District is not obligated to issue the bonds or provide assurances regarding the project's viability, and it includes provisions for expiration if bonds are not issued within three years. The resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption and includes a fiscal impact statement as required by legislative procedures.
