IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR BOARD:

PURPOSE OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

On April 15, 1999, the Governing Board of the Rosemead Elementary School District adopted a Resolution determining that the District needs to borrow funds in the principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 to be used for authorized purposes.

JUSTIFICATION

Pursuant to Article 7.6 and commencing with Section 53850 of the Government Code, school districts organized and existing under the laws of the State are authorized to borrow money by the issuance of short-term notes. Such Notes may be issued in the name and on behalf of such district by the board of supervisors of the county following receipt of a district resolution requesting such borrowing.

FISCAL IMPACT

None to the County. All debt indebtedness will be borne by the District.

FINANCING

Not applicable

FACTS AND PROVISIONS/LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

The Notes, with a maximum interest rate of six percent (6%), shall be dated the date of delivery and will mature not more than one year from such date of delivery. The principal and interest payments of the Notes shall be payable from taxes, income, revenue, cash receipts and other monies which are received by the District during or allocable to Fiscal Year 1999-2000.

The District has selected Kelling, Northcross & Nobriga as Financial Advisor and the firm of Quint & Thimmig as Bond Counsel. The attached Resolution authorizes the Financial Advisor, on behalf of the District, to identify a purchaser for the Notes through a limited bid process and to negotiate the final interest rate and purchase price. The Resolution also directs the Treasurer to accept the negotiated rate and purchase price and to execute the Note Purchase Agreement.

CONCLUSION

Upon approval of this Resolution, the Department will need two (2) originally executed copies of the adopted Resolution.
