FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the County related to this item. BACKGROUND Under state law, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is required to authorize the sale and issuance Of general obligation bonds for school districts within the County. No financial obligation is assumed with these authorizations. The County's Treasurer/Tax Collector oversees the actual sale and award of the bonds. On November 2, 2004 the Oakley Union Elementary School District held an election, at which time voters approved the issuance and sale of bonds of up to $18,500,000 in aggregate principal amount to provide financing for various school facilities projects. On February 9, 2005, the Oakley Union Elementary School District Board of Education authorized the sale of an initial series of bonds, entitled "Oakley Union Elementary School District (Contra Costa County, California), General Obligation Bonds, Election of 2004, Series A," in an aggregate principal of not to exceed $8,700,000 ("Series A Bonds"). CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Without the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors authorization, Oakley Union Elementary School District would not be able to issue the Series A Bonds, thereby delaying or prohibiting necessary school facilities projects.

In such event, the County shall issue, transfer and exchange Series A Bonds as requested by DTC and any other owners in appropriate amounts. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Series A Bonds at any time by giving -6- notice to the District and the County and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.
