FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the County. BACKGROUND Under state law, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is required to authorize the sale and issuance of TRANs for school districts within the County. No financial obligation is assumed with these authorizations. The County's Treasurer/Tax Collector is the paying agent for these notes. The School District is issuing these TRANs to meet financial needs of the District for fiscal year 2006- 2007. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Without the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors authorization, the School District would not be able to issue the TRANS, thereby delaying or prohibiting payment of necessary school expenses.
