7. Consent Agenda
Subject : 7.5 RFP - Refunding
Certificate of Participation,
Series 2016, presented by
Rita Scallan, Chief Financial
Officer, and recommended by
the Superintendent for
approval.
Meeting : Sep 12, 2016 - Regular
Meeting
Type : Action (Consent)
Preferred Date : Sep 12, 2016
Absolute Date : Sep 12, 2016
Fiscal Impact : Yes
Budget Source : Capital Outlay
Recommended Action : Motion to approve RFP -
Refunding Certificate of
Participation, Series 2016.
Public Content
If the School Board refinances the COPs Series 2006 and 2007 it may have
the opportunity, using conservative estimates of the current market, to
achieve present value savings in excess of $1.75 million, net of all cost of
issuance. The estimated present value savings equates to more than 6% on
the amount of COPs refinanced. Annual savings could potentially be in
excess of $350,000 between fiscal years 2018 through 2022. The estimated
savings for fiscal year 2017 is in the neighborhood of $175,000.
The above referenced amounts are only estimates and the actual savings
may differ based on market changes occurring between RFP issuance and
award. The refunding COPs will mature in 2022 as do the existing COPs, as
a result there will be no extension of maturities.
In order to achieve the maximum savings potential it is recommended to
secure a direct loan from a bank, as the refinancing instrument, through the
RFP process. A bank loan is a suitable instrument given the short maturity
structure and the lower costs of issuance. This process will allow the
School Board to eliminate the cost of underwriters, disclosure counsel,
ratings, printing and an offering statement will not be required.

Campbell Grant Application
for Elliott Point Elementary
School, in the amount of
$30,000.00.
Public Content
Mr. Don Campbell is a private donor who enjoys helping others through
financial support. Elliott Point Elementary has been connected with Mr.
Campbell through a personal relationship with a stakeholder.
Mr. Campbell shared his process for consideration- "The way my foundation
works is that people submit proposals usually from organizations and then I
act on them. If I decide I want to fund the proposal then I ask my Board for
approval which I usually receive. Before sending you the information on
how to submit a proposal, I would like to hear a little bit about what your
proposal would cover so that I can decide if it you should submit a proposal.
If necessary I would be willing to talk to you about it on the phone. I wait to
hear from you."
After speaking with Mr. Campbell and sharing the demographics and needs
of Elliott Point, he had his attorney, Ms. Nancy Kuhn, send us the grant
application. Ms. Kuhn informed us that Mr. Campbell was prepared to
entertain a proposal for $30,000.00 to assist our school.
Looking to make the best use of the gift, we decided on technology for the
lower grades. Dustin Keith assisted us with deciding on iPads, cases,
keyboards, mice, and charging stations. iPads were chosen over other forms
of technology due to no recurring costs to keep them in use. Grades K-2
were chosen to receive 5 iPads per classroom. At this time, a lack of
technology is a major concern at Elliott Point. Grades K-2 were chosen to
increase digital literacy at a young age. Currently, technology is slim in
these classrooms.The equipment cost is just shy of $30,000.
I have had Mr. McInnis review the proposal and also the attorney's
statement of expectations of the support. Ms. Kuhn provided this response -
"we require a report verifying that the funds were spent for educational
and/or charitable purposes. The report is due within one year of the grant
award date. The Board of the Campbell Family Foundation appreciates
pictures and a narrative, showing and explaining the use of the grant funds.
In addition, financial information detailing expenditures is expected." Mr.
Campbell prefers to stay out of the limelight as much as possible.
If needed, his attorney can be reached at the following address:
