COMMITTEE REPORTS

Budget Committee, September 29, 2009, Joe Andrepont, Chair

The Calcasieu Parish School Board Budget/Fiscal Management Committee met at 4:45 p.m., Tuesday, September 29, 2009 in the Board Room, 1732 Kirkman Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana. A quorum was present. Mr. LaRocque said the prayer and Mr. Breaux led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Present: Joe Andrepont, Chairman, Bill Jongbloed, Vice-Chair, committee members Annette Ballard, Billy Breaux, Clara Duhon, Chad Guidry, James Karr, Bryan LaRocque, and Secretary, Karl Bruchhaus. Other Board members present were Randy Burleigh, Mack Dellafosse, Fredman Hardy, and R.L. Webb.

Absent: Jimmy Pitre.

Mr. Andrepont called the meeting to order and introduced the first item for discussion, the Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) contract.

Mr. Bruchhaus gave a brief history of our contract with Johnson Controls beginning with the School Board signing an Energy Retrofit Contract in 1997. In 2005, we entered into Phase II of the contract which added a larger service component responsible for all chillers and boilers.

Mr. Bruchhaus then introduced Mike LeJeune, Tommy Trosclair, and Robbie Darbonne, representatives of Johnson Controls, Inc. who gave an update to the committee of their performance contract. Phase II of the performance based contract assists our maintenance department through integration of preventive maintenance, automatic temperature control services and repair, filter media replacement, mechanical and operation services and enhanced engineering. Recent hurdles to servicing have been lightning/brownouts/power surges resulting in nuisance alarms and damages, as well as busted/renovated chill water lines. Also, JCI has experienced an extended backlog of 3^rd party proprietary parts from certain original equipment manufacturer suppliers.

Several Board members commended JCI on their courteous manner and quick response time when handling work order requests. However, they were concerned that repairs were not being handled on a timely basis and that additional staffing is needed. Board members also expressed concerns about run times of HVAC equipment and issues caused by equipment being turned off. Presently, JCI has six employees assigned to the School Board. Mr. Burleigh requested that staff provide information on how much the School Board has saved as well as how much has been spent on mold/mildew remediation. Mr. Andrepont asked that Johnson Controls return to the Board within six to eight weeks with a Plan of Action to correct concerns addressed.

This update was for informational purposes only and no action was necessary.

Next, Mr. Bruchhaus presented a recommendation of a $100 teacher supply allocation for classroom related supplies during the 2009-2010 fiscal year. The one-time appropriation of $255,000 would be included in Budget Revision #1 for the 2009-2010 General Fund.

On motion by Mr. Burleigh, seconded by Mrs. Duhon and approved, it was recommended that the $100 teacher supply allocation be approved as presented.

On behalf of the committee, Mr. Andrepont made a motion to accept. A second was not needed and on a vote, the motion carried.

The next item presented was Budget Revision #1 to the 2009-2010 General Fund budget. The revision projected revenues and other sources of funds at $271,521,464, an increase of $9,994 from the original budget, and expenditures and other uses of funds totaled $272,238,811, an increase of $727,341. The projected result of operations produced by revision #1 is a $717,347 deficit leaving unreserved/undesignated fund balance at $34,316,829 or 12.64% or projected revenues.

On motion by Mr. Breaux, seconded by Ms. Ballard, it was recommended that Budget Revision #1 to the 2009-2010 General Fund be approved as presented.

On behalf of the committee, Mr. Andrepont made a motion to accept. A second was not needed and on a vote, the motion carried.

Next, staff requested permission to negotiate with the City of Lake Charles for the purchase of the Weaver Park baseball facilities for potential Barbe High expansion projects. The transaction would possibly include an exchange of 10 acres owned by the school board adjacent to C.A.S.E.S. for the five acre Weaver Park facility. Any additional costs necessary from the possible exchange of properties would come from Riverboat Funds.

On motion by Ms. Ballard, seconded by Mr. Jongbloed and approved, it was recommended that staff be given permission to negotiate with the City of Lake Charles for a possible purchase of the Weaver Park baseball facilities as presented.

On behalf of the committee, Mr. Andrepont made a motion to accept. A second was not needed and on a vote, the motion carried.

TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION

A. Resolution Authorizing CPSB to Proceed with Refunding of Bonds/District 34

Each Bond delivered under this Resolution upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond, and each such Bond will bear interest (as herein set forth) so that neither gain nor loss interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.

No Bond will be entitled to any right or benefit under this Resolution, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond a certificate of registration, substantially in the form provided in this Resolution, executed by the Paying Agent by manual signature.

SECTION 3. Redemption Provisions. Those Bonds maturing in the years 2010 to 2014, inclusive, shall not be subject to redemption prior to maturity. Those Bonds maturing November 1, 2015 and thereafter shall be callable for redemption by the Issuer in full at any time on or after November 1, 2014, or in part in the inverse order of their maturities, and if less than a full maturity then by lot within such maturity, on any Interest Payment Date on or after November 1, 2014, at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to the date fixed for redemption.

In the event a Bond to be redeemed is of a principal amount denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond ($5,000 principal amount or any multiple thereof) may be redeemed. Any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the principal corporate office of the Paying Agent and there shall be delivered to the Owner of such Bond a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity and of any authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such Owner in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Bond so surrendered.

Principal or interest installments for the payment of which money shall have been set aside and shall be held in trust (through deposit by the Issuer of funds for such payment or otherwise) at the maturity date thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section. Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid, prior to their maturity, within the meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section if they have been defeased pursuant to Chapter 14 of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended, or any successor provisions thereto.

SECTION 20. Paying Agent; Paying Agent Agreement. The Issuer will at all times maintain a Paying Agent meeting the qualifications hereinafter described for the performance of the duties hereunder for the Bonds. The designation of the initial Paying Agent in this Resolution is hereby confirmed and approved. The Issuer reserves the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent by (a) filing with the Person then performing such function a certified copy of a resolution or Resolution giving notice of the termination of the Agreement and appointing a successor and (b) causing notice to be given to each Owner. Every Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall at all times be a bank organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to serve as Paying Agent, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. The Executive Officers are hereby authorized and directed to execute an appropriate Agreement with the Paying Agent for and on behalf of the Issuer in such form as may be satisfactory to said officers, the signatures of such officers on such Agreement to be conclusive evidence of the due exercise of the authority granted hereunder.

SECTION 21. Non-Arbitrage Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Governing Authority of the Issuer certifies and covenants that so long as the Bonds remain outstanding, moneys on deposit in any fund in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will cause such Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or ruling or regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Governing Authority hereby authorizes the Executive Officers of the Issuer to be responsible for issuing the Bonds to make such further covenants and certifications as may be necessary to assure that the use thereof will not cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds and to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. In connection therewith, the Issuer and the Governing Authority further agree:

(a) through the Executive Officers to make such further specific covenants, representations as shall be truthful, and assurances as may be necessary or advisable; (b) to consult with counsel approving the Bonds and to comply with such advice as may be given; (c) to pay to the United States, as necessary, such sums of money representing required rebates of excess arbitrage profits relating to the Bonds; (d) to file such forms, statements and supporting documents as may be required and in a timely manner; and (e) if deemed necessary or advisable by the Executive Officers, to employ and pay fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys, and other persons to assist the Issuer in such compliance.

SECTION 22. Printing and Delivery of Bonds. The Executive Officers of the Issuer are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to cause the necessary Bonds to be printed or lithographed, and they are hereby further empowered, authorized and directed to sign, execute and seal all of the Bonds as herein provided and cause the same to be registered with the Secretary of State, all in accordance with the provisions of law and this Resolution.

SECTION 23. Notice of Bond Sale and Preliminary Official Statement. The publication of a Notice of Bond Sale pertaining to the sale of the Bonds, in the form so published, and the distribution of the disclosure material in the Preliminary Official Statement in connection therewith are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects by this Governing Authority, and the Issuer and the Governing Authority hereby certify that such disclosure material is deemed final by the Issuer and Governing Authority as of its date for purposes of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

SECTION 24. Publication. A copy of this Resolution shall be published immediately after its adoption in one (1) issue of the Lake Charles American Press, the official journal of the Issuer. For a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any person in interest shall have the right to contest the legality of this Resolution and of the Bonds to be issued pursuant hereto and the provisions hereof securing the Bonds. After the expiration of said thirty (30) days, no one shall have any right of action to contest the validity of the Bonds or the provisions of this Resolution, and the Bonds shall be conclusively presumed to be legal and no court shall thereafter have authority to inquire into such matters.

SECTION 25. Savings Clause. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Resolution or of the Bonds issued hereunder shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Resolution or of the Bonds, but the Resolution and the Bonds shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained therein. Any constitutional or statutory provision enacted after the date or dates of this Resolution and of the Bonds which validates or makes legal any provision of this Resolution or the Bonds which would not otherwise be valid or legal, shall be decreed to apply to this Resolution and to the Bonds.

SECTION 26. Bank Qualification. The Issuer has determined, and the Bonds are hereby designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-5), signed into law on February 17, 2009.

SECTION 27. Additional Parity Bonds. The Issuer hereby expressly reserves the right to issue from time to time additional bonds payable from and secured by ad valorem taxation on a parity with the Bonds.
