SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO 1998 AND 1999A CAPITAL OUTLAY & DEBT SERVICE (CO&DS) BONDS
AND REVISIONS TO THE PROJECT PRIORITY LIST (PPL)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The District has participated in CO&DS bond issues since 1998. A portion of funds remain in the 1998 ($856,951) and 1999A ($172,287.44) issues. It is recommended that these funds be used to partially fund the current construction project at Tinker Elementary School.

The Tinker construction project is currently funded with $4,830,000 from the Community Investment Tax (CIT) and $1,145,000 from CO&DS Bonds 2005A. Approval of these amendments will release $1,029,238.44 in CIT funds for other projects.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

Provide adequate school facilities for the accomplishment of all District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

The two bond sales represent $67,115,000 in construction revenue to the District.

Allocating remaining funds in the amount of $1,029,238.44 to Tinker Elementary will release CIT funds for other projects and close CO&DS 1998 and 1999A accounts. There is no increase in the Tinker construction budget.
