APPROVAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Increase to Line of Credit from $1.5 Million to $5 Million to Temporarily Fund SPLOST Improvements <\/strong>\u2013 J. Donaghy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
John Donaghy presented the background information regarding the current line of credit for BGJWSC through BB&T.\u00a0 The JWSC was previously approved by the Commission to enter into a line of credit with BB&T Bank for $1.5 Million to provide a cash flow financing for future infrastructure construction projects when necessary.\u00a0 He then added that with the $15.0 Million of SPLOST projects coming up, the current $1.5 Million line of credit will not provide enough cash flow to rapidly do the projects which must be done upfront, prior to the SPLOST money becoming available.\u00a0 Staff has requested that BB&T increase the line of credit to $5.0 Million to facilitate large upfront costs.\u00a0 BB&T has agreed to the requested line of credit increase to $5.0 Million in order to help the cash flow for the required immediate SPLOST projects.\u00a0 Any money used from the line of credit will then be repaid from the SPLOST funding when it becomes available. Staff recommended that the JWSC increase its line of credit with BB&T for the cash flow funding of infrastructure projects from $1.5 Million to $5.0 Million.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Ford asked what the cost would be to JWSC to borrow the money.\u00a0 John replied that the cost would be the Libor Rate plus 1.95% on the outstanding balance. As the money gradually comes in from the SPLOST funding, the money would be applied to the loan balance, and this would be a cycle throughout these SPLOST funded projects.\u00a0 Any interest costs would not be paid out of the ratepayers pockets, but would come out of money allocated to infrastructure projects. \u00a0It was clarified that this is not a $5.0 Million loan, but is only a line of credit of which money can be borrowed against.\u00a0 The $5.0 Million figure was arrived at as a \u201cworst case\u201d scenario for required project cash flow.\u00a0 It will take about 3 years for the $15 Million to be received through the SPLOST funding.\u00a0 This line of credit would help to ensure that the JWSC does not run short in cash flow to complete these infrastructure projects.\u00a0 It is anticipated to only use any of the line of credit that is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n
<\/u>Commissioner Browning made a motion seconded by Commissioner Adams that the JWSC increase its line of credit with BB&T for the cash flow funding of infrastructure projects form $1.5 Million to $5.0 Million. \u00a0Motion approved 6-0-1 (Commissioner Bowen was absent).<\/u><\/p>\n
Chairman Elliott requested another motion to excuse Commissioner Bowen from the meeting.\u00a0 Commissioner Adams made a motion seconded by Commissioner Harvey to excuse Commissioner Bowen from the meeting.\u00a0 Motion approved 6-0-1 (Commissioner Bowen was absent).<\/u><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>EXECUTIVE SESSION<\/strong><\/p>\nNo Executive Session.<\/p>\n
