We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the authorization and execution by the City of Ashland, Oregon (the "City") of a Contract for Sale of Property (the "Contract") between the City and Southern Oregon Skyways, Inc. (the "Seller"), dated October 30, 1987. The Contract provides for the purchase by the City from the Seller of certain hangars as described in the Contract located at the Ashland Municipal Airport, Ashland, Oregon (the "Project"), for a purchase price of One Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Seventy-Five Dollars ($126,075). We have examined the law, a duly certified transcript of proceedings of the City, prepared in part by us, and other documents which we deem necessary to render this opinion. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on the representations of the City contained in the Contract and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. Based on our examination, we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows: A. The City is duly created and validly existing as a body corporate and politic and public instrumentality of the State of Oregon with the corporate power to enter into and execute the Contract and perform the agreements on its part contained therein. LINDSAY, HART, NEIL & WEIOLER Legal Opinion Page 2 November 18, 1987 B. The Contract has been legally authorized and executed pursuant to the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Oregon and a resolution of the City (the "Resolution"), and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the City. C. The City has pledged the punctual payment of installment payments and interest thereon as the same become due and payable under the Contract. The City expects to lease the Project pursuant to Sections 142(b)(1)(B) and 142(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). D. Assuming compliance by the City, the Seller and other users of the Project with their covenants relating to the tax-exempt status of the interest paid by the City and received by the Seller under the Contract, such interest is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, except such interest will be includable in the calculation of alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by the Code. To maintain the exclusion of such interest from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the City, the Seller and other users of the Project have covenanted to comply with certain restrictions as to the use of the Project and the use and investment of Project revenues. We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. E. The interest paid by the City and received by the Seller under the Contract is exempt from personal income taxation by the State of Oregon. F. The rights of the Seller and the enforceability of the Contract and the Resolution may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable, and their enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.
