Dannis Woliver Kelly $50,000 to provide Bond Counsel services for clean renewable energy bonds.

When did the Board approve this?

CUSD approved Arc Alternatives to do a Solar Feasibility Study at a cost of $43,840. See July 26, 2017 BOT Meeting Agenda Item #26 Trustees approved staff to apply for CREB Bonds but they did not disclose the $325,000 costs to Government Financial Strategies and $50,000 in costs to Dannis Wolver Kelly in the discussion of applying for CREB Bonds. 

This was an Information/Dicussion Item ONLY- No Vote to Approve anything. The Board Report Prepared and Approved by Clark clearly States:

Well - clearly there is a $375,000 Cost to CUSD to apply for the CREB Bonds that Trustees were not made aware of.
