Staff will be receiving bids from financial institutions to secure the financing and anticipates receiving $10 million in financing for twenty (20) years at an interest rate of 2.30 percent, which will result in an average annual debt service cost of$742,000. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact related to this action. However, there will be a financial impact in proceeding with the financing for projects. A preliminary estimate of maximum debt service applicable to the school and County projects financing would require $683,000 in fiscal year 2013-14 with the highest debt service payment of $743,000 falling in fiscal years 2015-2018. The tax rate equivalent for the highest debt service payment is approximately .4054 cents.

Company LLC ( "Davenport") provision of financial advisory services or investment advisory services, or Davenport has an agreement with the recipient to provide such services, the recipient should assume that Davenport is acting in the capacity of an underwriter or placement agent. The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ( "MSRB ") Rule G -17 requires an underwriter to deal fairly at all times with both municipal issuers and investors. The rule also requires an underwriter to disclose that the underwriter's primary role is to purchase securities with a view to distribution in an arm's length commercial transaction with the issuer and the underwriter has financial and other interests that differ from those of the issuer; unlike a municipal advisor, the underwriter does not have afiduciary duty to the issuer under the federal securities laws and is, therefore, not required by federal law to act in the best interest of the issuer without regard to its own financial or other interests; the underwriter has a duty to purchase securities from the issuer at a fair and reasonable price, but must balance that duty with its duty to sell municipal securities to investors at prices that are fair and reasonable; the underwriter will review the official statement of the issuer's securities in accordance with, and as part of its responsibilities to investors under the federal securities laws, as applied to the facts and circumstances of the transaction. Davenport's compensation when serving as an underwriter is normally contingent on the closing of a transaction. Clients generally prefer this arrangement so they are not obligated to pay a fee unless the transaction is completed. However, MSRB Rule G -17 requires an underwriter to disclose that compensation that is contingent on the closing of a transaction or the size of a transaction presents a conflict of interest, because it may cause the underwriter to recommend a transaction that is unnecessary or to recommend that the size of the transaction be larger than is necessary.
