BACKGROUND: During the past 10 years, the County has effectively used installment purchase contracts as an alternative financing source to fund a number of capital facilities for both School and County projects. Similar to bonds, staff periodically reviews these agreements to assess the potential for savings through refinancing these loans in low interest rate environments. There is an agreement with BB&T Governmental Finance that analysis reveals could result in savings if the County were to pursue a refinancing. In order to accomplish the refinancing, the Board is required to adopt a resolution and approve an agreement that modifies the existing arrangement. The agreement under consideration includes the installment purchase contract for the construction of Scroggs Elementary School. This financing was accomplished in two parts beginning in December 1996 with $5,000,000 and finalized in March 1997 with the addition of another $9,000,000. The remaining balance on this financing is approximately $8.6 million as of August 1, 2004. The original interest rate on this financing was 4.92%. The new rate quoted by BB&T in the refinancing would be 3.90% and would result in savings as outlined in the financial impact section below. A copy of the modification agreement and required Board Resolution is attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Current estimates are that savings in the 2004-2005 fiscal year will be approximately $39,000. Annual savings beginning in the 2005-2006 fiscal year are estimated to average approximately $60,000 resulting in overall savings for the remaining term of nearly $400,000. These amounts are estimates and are subject to change if there are interest rate changes prior to closing. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the resolution and approve the modification agreement with BB&T and authorize the Chair and Finance Director to sign. 3 DRAFT OF AUGUST ii, 2004 Retum After Recording To: F.
