Mr. Freeman stated that the cost of the project list as read is $1,940,000. The cost does include owner-directed allowance of $20,713. He also stated that with this money, the plan is to develop a 21st century model classroom at the high school. This classroom will be a laboratory with as much technology as possible, teachers will be able to check out this room and use for special purposes, and the classroom will be a way for the students to experience modern technology that a lot of the other schools have in all classrooms. Mr. Freeman said that they realize the amount will not fund the total classroom and may have to supplement it with money from capital projects. The annual utility savings is guaranteed to us by Performance Services and as a result of the project, it will be $47,044. Mr. Freeman stated that they would like to get started on the project as soon as possible and tonight the board needs to take the next steps to accomplish this.

Mr. Freeman introduced Mr. Tom Peterson from Ice Miller who will conduct the necessary steps to initiate the funding process. Mr. Peterson stated that Ice Miller had received confirmation today from the Indiana Bond Bank to participate in their program for actual funding of the bonds. He stated that the market requires a small interest rate on the bonds, but the structure of the bonds will allow the corporation to make semi-annual payments, that the bond band will hold and invest on our behalf at an interest rate higher than the bond and we will get the credit that is earned further reducing every year that need to levy. Mr. Peterson recommended that Mr. R. Wright open the public hearing and ask if there are any questions from the public concerning the financial structure.

Mr. R. Wright opened the public hearing for the building lease and asked if anyone had questions or comments. There being no questions or comments, Mr. R. Wright closed the public hearing for the construction cost of the lease.

Mr. Peterson summarized the first resolution which authorizes execution of the lease and that is to reflect that this is a fair and reasonable rental for the improvements we are receiving and a determination that the officers can execute the lease as provided as the financial tool. These are the exact same terms as presented at the 1028 Hearing, a maximum of 17 years at $160,000 per year. Mr. Peterson also stated that while this is a lease, both the requirement of state law and the contract, that upon completion of the lease, the property will be returned to the school corporation without any additional expense and the corporation will have sole use of the facility. This is Exhibit A Authorizing Execution of the 4th Amendment to Lease. Mr. Peterson added that they are doing an Amendment to Lease which alleviates money for Title Insurance and will keep it with the existing financing so the corporation will not be out additional expenses for this and it will free up more dollars which can be used for the project. Mrs. Viles made a motion to approve Exhibit A Authorizing Execution of the 4th Amendment to Lease, seconded by Dr. P. Wright. Motion carried 5-0.

Mr. Peterson stated that Exhibit B, the 2nd resolution, is to approve the Continued Disclosure Undertaking Agreement that requires the corporation to provide updated financial information to the market place on an annual basis. Dr. P. Wright made a motion to approve Exhibit B Continued Disclosure Undertaking Agreement, seconded by Mr. R. Davis. Motion carried 5-0.

Mr. Freeman thanked Ice Miller and Steve Harris for all the paperwork and also David Wimmer from Hillyard Lyons regarding the project.

Mr. Muston introduced Mr. Jason Damron, Coach of the Girls Soccer Team and stated the soccer team had an outstanding season and also that Mr. Damron was named Mid-State Conference Coach of the Year. Mr. Damron stated that the girls deserve the credit for the success and they had 13 wins this year and beat the school record by 4 wins.

Mr. Johnson stated that we received two bids for the purchase of buses for 2010 from the 12-year replacement schedule. One quote was from Kerlin and the other Midwest. Bids were sent out for four 78-passenger buses and one 14-passenger bus. Kerlin came in at $482,000 with an average cost of $96,400. Midwest came in at $374,999 with an average cost of $74,999.80. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lundy’s recommendation is to continue with Midwest Transit. Dr. P. Wright made a motion to accept Midwest Transit’s bid for the bus replacement plan, seconded by Mrs. Viles.

Mr. Lindsay introduced Mr. Mark Bless, Head Coach of the Mooresville Football Team. Mr. Bless stated that he is proud of the success the football program has had. He also stated that the coaches pride themselves in family attitude and call themselves the 2nd family. Mr. Bless stated that the seniors had done a super job this year and 7 will receive academic awards for the conference. He introduced James Ringer who was named on the Indianapolis Colts Academic All Star Team for his GPA, class rank, and SAT score. He thanked his staff and said the coaches spend a lot of time with the players year round and are in the weight room in-season and out-of season. He also stated that he thinks Mooresville has one of the best coaching staffs in the State of Indiana. Mr. D. Davis complimented Mr. Bless and his staff and said he was listening to WCBK and they said Mooresville had lost a lot of seniors on their football team, but under Coach Bless and staff, they did not have to rebuild, but they would just have to reload. Mr. D. Davis said this was a tremendous compliment to Coach Bless and his staff.

There being no further business to come before the board and upon motion by Mr. R. Davis, seconded by
