Koppel and Gruber Public Finance was selected as the District’s CFD Administrator based on several factors as determined to meet the needs of the District. These factors include: understanding of the work required by the District; demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for successfully performing work required by the District; experience in successfully performing similar services; proposed approach in completing the work; background and related experience of the specific individuals to be assigned to this project; and their proven services as provided to District.

In addition to CFD Administration, Koppel and Gruber Public Finance performs other necessary services as it relates to public finance as well as the assessment of school fees.

Continuing disclosure reports are required under SEC Rule 15c2-12 and in accordance with disclosure certificates for the District’s bond issuances. Arbitrage calculations must also be prepared for bond issuances pursuant to Section 148 (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The annual cost to administer CFD No. 91-1 is $3,235. The annual cost to administer CFD No. 92-1 is $13,375.

In conjunction with these services, Koppel and Gruber may perform additional work if authorized by the District. This will be compensated on a per task basis, or on an hourly basis as defined within the contract. It is estimated that additional work will not exceed $15,000. The ongoing parcel audit associated with CFD 92-1 is included in this category.
