The COPs are variable rate with the all-in interest cost for the COPs averaging 2.6% per annum over the past ten years. Variable rate COPs are complex financings that result in low overall costs, but involve several participants to make it happen.

The District has several options to refinance the COPs. Ruth Alahydoian from KNN Public Finance will be presenting to the Board the various options available to refinance the existing variable rate COPs. A direction from the Board is requested to proceed with the refinancing. 9:20-9:35 p.m. These items are submitted for advance planning and to assist the Board in establishing future agenda items.

  19. 4.2-CF Resolution #09-61 Annual Accounting for School Facilities Fees (Developer Fees) for the REVISED Fiscal Year 2008-09 9:35-9:40 p.m. Public Hearing Comments are limited to 3 minutes per speaker, subject to adjustment by the Board President. Members of the audience who wish to address the Board regarding the Public Hearing are asked to complete the yellow card available at the entrance and submit it to the Board’s Administrative Assistant. A public hearing will be conducted regarding the Flexibility Transfers of Tier III Programs – Phase VI. The Budget trailer bill (SBX3 4) gives local school agencies the authority to use the funds received from the state for Tier III programs for “any educational purpose, to the extent permitted by federal law”. These local education agencies are allowed to transfer funds from categorical programs to the Unrestricted General Fund for any educational purposes. The flexibility to transfer funds from the Tier III programs is authorized for five years until 2012-13. The following is a list of budget reductions and Tier III Flexibility transfers that have been approved by the Board of Trustees: • March 9, 2009, Board approved a budget reduction of $3.0M for 2009-10, and $3.2M for 2010-11. These reductions have been categorized as Phase I. • March 17, 2009, Flexibility “sweep” of 2007-08 ending balance and Tier III programs for a total of $829,180. The approval was categorized as Phase II and III. • May 5, 2009, flexibility transfer of Tier III funds of $526,664 was approved by the Board and categorized as Phase IV. • December 1, 2009, flexibility transfer of 2008-09 Tier III ending balance of $270,271 was approved by the Board and categorized as Phase V. Staff is now presenting Phase VI of flexibility transfers. This is a transfer from the Deferred Maintenance ending fund balance of $143,000. This is one-time money because it is from the 2008-09 Fund Balance. By conducting a public hearing on a regularly scheduled Board meeting, the District would have met the requirement under Budget Trailer Bill SBX 3 4. The Board will hold the office public hearing on the Flexibility Transfers of Tier III Programs – Phase VI. a. Board President opens the public hearing Motion Second Vote b.
