Crestview adopts reimbursement resolution to advance Fire Station 3 remodel and purchase of 'The Rock'
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2026-2 authorizing intent to reimburse certain project costs with future tax-exempt financing for Fire Station 3 remodel, the purchase of the recreation center known as The Rock, and a new public services complex; vote was unanimous (5-0).
The Crestview City Council voted unanimously Oct. 27 to adopt Resolution 2026-2, a financing housekeeping measure that allows the city to reimburse itself from future tax-exempt bond proceeds for certain project costs incurred now.
City staff described the measure as an administrative step to permit the city to use cash on hand and reserves to start work on projects — notably the remodel of Fire Station 3 and the expedited purchase of the recreation center formerly known as The Rock — and later reimburse those expenditures from bond proceeds. The resolution does not itself issue bonds but signals intent to include these costs in future financing.
City Manager Jessica explained the practical reason: moving forward now with purchases or design work preserves the city’s cash-flow cushion for operations and other needs. She said the expedited purchase of The Rock would allow youth basketball programs to use the facility for the coming season.
The clerk read the resolution into the record; the motion to adopt received a second and the council approved it by voice vote, 5-0.
What this means: The resolution clears the path to include current project costs in a future tax-exempt financing package; it is not the bond issuance itself, and the city must still pursue formal bonding actions and satisfy bond-covenant requirements at the time of issuance.
