Recommendation
|
Adopt a resolution providing for the issuance and sale of Ravenswood City School District, County of San Mateo, 2003-04 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes.
|
|
|
Background
|
Pursuant to state statute, a school district may borrow money by issuing Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANS) for any purpose for which the school district is authorized to expend moneys, including but limited to current expenses, capital expenditures, and the discharge of any obligation or indebtedness of the school district. When issued by the school district individually, such notes must be issued in the name of the school district by the Board of Supervisors. The District pledges any taxes, income or revenue for payment of the Notes and the Notes are a general obligation of the School District.

|
Discussion
|
The Governing Board of the Ravenswood School District has passed resolutions requesting the borrowing of funds not to exceed $10 million through the issuance of 2003-04 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes. The County resolution would authorize the issuance of the TRANS, approves the form of the notes, the form for the Contract of Purchase at a negotiated sale and authorizes the necessary signatures and other actions to finalize the issuance.
|
|
|
Vision Alignment

The issuance and sale of these Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes keeps the commitment to securing the seeds to our future prosperity and goal number 19: Improving K-12 education.
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact
