WHEREAS the Municipal Act, 2001 (Ontario), as amended, (the "Act")
provides that a municipal power shall be exercised by by-law unless the municipality is
specifically authorized to do otherwise;
AND WHEREAS the Council of the Lower-tier Municipality has passed the by-
laws enumerated in column (1) of Schedule "A" attached hereto and forming part of this By-
law ("Schedule "A") authorizing the ongoing capital works described in column (2) of
Schedule "A" (individually, a "Project", collectively, the "Projects") in the amount of the
respective estimated expenditure set out in column (3) of Schedule "A";
AND WHEREAS before the Council of the Lower-tier Municipality approved
each Project, in accordance with section 4 of Ontario Regulation 403/02, the Council of the
Lower-tier Municipality had its Treasurer update its most recent annual debt and financial
obligation limit received from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (as so updated,
the "Prior Updated Limit"), and, on the basis of the authorized expenditure for each
Project as set out in column (3) of Schedule "A" (referred to hereinafter as the "Authorized
Expenditure" for each such Project) the Treasurer calculated the estimated annual amount
payable in respect of each Project and determined that the estimated annual amount
payable in respect of each Project does not exceed the Prior Updated Limit, and
accordingly the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board under the Ontario Municipal Board
Act (Ontario), as amended, was not required before any such Project was authorized by
Council;
AND WHEREAS subsection 405(1) of the Act provides that a municipality
may authorize temporary borrowing to meet expenditures made in connection with a work
to be financed in whole or in part by the issue of debentures if,
(a) the municipality is an upper-tier municipality, a lower-tier municipality in a
county or a single-tier municipality and it has approved the issue of
debentures for the work;
_ 2 - Lower-tier By-lawThe Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg

(b) the municipality is a lower-tier municipality in a regional municipality and it
has approved the work and the upper-tier municipality has approved the
issue of debentures for the work; or
(c) the municipality has approved the issue of debentures for another
municipality or a school board under section 404;
AND WHEREAS subsection 403(1) of the Act provides that a by-law of an
upper-tier municipality authorizing the issuing of debentures for the purposes or joint
purposes of one or more of its lower-tier municipalities may require those lower-tier
municipalities to make payments in each year to the upper-tier municipality in the amounts
and on the dates specified in the by-law;
AND WHEREAS subsection 401(1) of the Act provides that a municipality
may incur a debt for municipal purposes, whether by borrowing money or in any other way,
and may issue debentures and prescribed financial instruments and enter prescribed
financial agreements for or in relation to the debt;
AND WHEREAS subsection 401(3) of the Act provides that a lower-tier
municipality in a regional municipality does not have the power to issue debentures and
accordingly the Lower-tier Municipality intends that the Upper-tier Municipality will issue
debentures in respect of the Projects and will request that the Upper-tier Municipality do so;
AND WHEREAS the Act also provides that a municipality shall authorize long
term borrowing by the issue of debentures or through another municipality under section
403 or 404 of the Act and subsection 403(7) of the Act provides that all debentures issued
under a by-law passed by an upper-tier municipality under section 403 are direct, joint and
several obligations of the upper-tier municipality and its lower-tier municipalities;
AND WHEREAS OILC has invited Ontario municipalities desirous of obtaining
temporary and long term debt financing in order to meet capital expenditures incurred after
December 31, 2003 in connection with eligible capital projects to make application to OILC
for such financing by completing and submitting an application in the form provided by
OILC;
AND WHEREAS the Lower-tier Municipality requested the Upper-tier
Municipality to issue debentures for the Projects and in this connection the Upper-tier
Municipality and the Lower-tier Municipality submitted an Application (hereinafter the

AND WHEREAS OILC has accepted and has approved such Application;
AND WHEREAS the Upper-tier Municipality has agreed to issue debentures
for the Projects to OILC in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $641,000 (the

provide financing by way of temporary advances to the Lower-tier Municipality in respect of
the Projects;
AND WHEREAS the Lower-tier Municipality will enter into a financing
agreement with OILC pursuant to the terms of which OILC will provide temporary advances
to the Lower-tier Municipality in respect of the Projects;
