SUMMARY:  District staff has been working with Bank of America (BofA) to finalize the Loan Agreement and furnish other required documents for the line of credit authorized by the Board on May 17, 2010.  One requirement of the Loan Agreement is that the District furnish evidence that the execution of that agreement has been duly authorized.  BofA suggested that this would best be accomplished by a Board Resolution.  A draft of Resolution No. 2010-__, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Authorizing a Line of Credit with Bank of America is attached as Exhibit 8-A.  Adoption of this resolution by the Board of Directors would satisfy BofA’s requirement.

          

RECOMMENDATION:  District staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 2010-10, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Authorizing a Line of Credit with Bank of America.  The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on July 13, 2010 and voted 3 to 0 to recommend approval.    

 

BACKGROUND:  On May 17, 2010, the Board authorized staff to contract with BofA to establish a $1.5 million line of credit.  Since that time District staff has been working with BofA to finalize the Loan Agreement and furnish other required documents.
