XII. Finance A. York County School of Technology 2010 Roof Replacement Resolution (Roll Call Vote) The Joint Operating Committee ( JOC ) of the York County School of Technology ( YCST ) has determined that one of the Member Districts, Dallastown Area School District, ( DASD ) will borrow approximately $3,300,000 by issuance of its general obligation bonds ( Bonds ) and lend the proceeds to the JOC which may lend the proceeds to the York County School of Technology Authority (the Authority ) to finance necessary roof replacements and repairs at the YCST (the Project ). The YCST would in turn, agree to pay the Authority funds to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds as a capital cost in its budget each year the Bonds are outstanding. Each Member District would agree to pay its share of the principal and interest on the indebtedness to finance the Project as part of the YCST budget each year. The current plan is to repay the borrowing with five (5) annual principal payments ranging from approximately $630,000 in the 2011-12 fiscal year, to $695,000 in the 2015-2016 fiscal year. Annual debt service will be the principal payment plus interest at a rate not yet determined. The amount borrowed will not constitute debt of the Member Districts other than DASD, but the Member Districts will be required to pay the annual debt service through inclusion of the principal and interest payment on the Bonds as a capital expense in the YCST budget each year. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of School Directors of the Red Lion Area School District (the School Board ), as follows: 1. The School Board hereby requests DASD to issue its general obligation bonds and pay the net proceeds thereof to the JOC to provide funds to pay for the Project. 2. The costs of the Project including the principal and interest on the bonds issued by DASD shall constitute capital costs under Section 6.1 of the Restated Articles of Agreement for the Establishment and Operation of the York County School of Technology (the Agreement ). As such, annual debt service (principal and interest) on the Bonds will be included in the YCST budget each year until the Bonds are paid in full. 3. The School Board acknowledges that the obligation of each Member District to pay its share of the principal of and interest on the indebtedness incurred by DASD on behalf of the Authority shall constitute a properly incurred obligation of each Member District under Section 2.3 of the Agreement. 4. The School Board shall take any and all actions against any Member District for its failure to pay its share of principal and interest on the Bonds, but such failure to pay any share shall not operate to relieve or postpone the obligation of the JOC to make such payment on a timely basis. To the extent permitted by law, the JOC shall indemnify and hold harmless DASD for any losses, costs or expenses that it incurs arising from or related to the issuance of the Bonds, which result form any failures to pay.
5. This Resolution may not be amended or rescinded without the express written consent of the DASD. ADDENDUM B.
