Tuesday November 19th 2024 and I will turn it over to Schoolboard attorney Mr kerski thank you madam chair congratulations and Madame Vice chair congratulations you are now sitting in the penis County School Board leasing Corporation board of directors meeting the seven of you are all board of directors they directors on the board and Mr hendrik is the ex officio corporate secretary this Corporation is not a governmental entity but rather a Florida nonprofit private organization that was created so that the school board could participate in the certificate of participation bonding program also known as cop bonds so by law you need to have a private Corporation in order to borrow and receive the funds um under these cops programs the corporation facilitates the financing of construction projects as I'm sure most of you are well aware and it may seem strange that you all are sitting exactly the same members of the school board as on this board of directors but that is what is required under Florida law to facilitate this this borrowing program if you have any question questions about the uh cops bonding itself um either I or Mr Jefferson your CFO could answer those questions however with that as a background the reason we're here today is that this Corporation needs to have an annual meeting and the sole order of business unless any of you directors bring up anything else the sole order of business will be to elect uh chair Vice chair and President and Vice President of the board of directors and so the articles of Corporation and the bylaws of the corporation contemplate that the chair and vice chair um will be the same as the chair and vice chair of the school board and so at this time Miss Hine I think it's appropriate for you to entertain a motion to appoint Laura Hine as chair and president of the corporation and miss Edmund as Vice chair and vice president of the corporation thank you thank you we just heard the item on the floor may I have a motion in a second to approve move for approval second a motion from Mrs Caine and a second from Mrs long is there any discussion seeing none all those in favor of approving the selection of officers signify by saying I I any opposed passes 7 to zero and with that we will adjourn today's leasing Corporation meeting thank you for joining us we're finished with the official proceedings for today and and we'd love to say hello thank you for being here for e for
