Preliminary approval is given to the issuance of not exceeding $7,050,000 aggregate principal amount of Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”) of the Parish School Board of the Parish of Franklin, State of Louisiana (the “Issuer”), in one or more series, pursuant to Section 1430 of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended, and other constitutional and statutory authority, to be issued for the purpose of constructing, improving and/or renovating schools and school related facilities in the Parish (limited, however, to rehabilitating or repairing schools and school related facilities and purchasing equipment with respect to any series of Bonds constituting QZAB obligations), and paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds will be payable from and secured by an irrevocable pledge and dedication of the avails or proceeds of the special one-half of one percent (1/2%) sales and use tax now being levied and collected by the Parish of Franklin, Louisiana (the “Parish”) pursuant to Article VI, Section 29 of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974 and pursuant to an election held in the Parish on May 5, 2007, subject only to the prior payment of the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of collecting and administering the Tax.

Said Official Statement may be submitted to such nationally recognized bond rating service or services as may be recommended by bond counsel, together with a request that an appropriate rating be assigned. A certified copy of this Resolution shall be forwarded to the Attorney General of the State of Louisiana for his approval of the employment and of the fees herein designated.
