Meeting of the Orange County School Board Leasing Corporation Subject 5.01 Request Approval of Officers to the Leasing Corporation Meeting Nov 16, 2021 - School Board Reorganization Meeting 3:00 pm Type Action Recommended Action Approval of Officers to the Leasing Corporation BACKGROUND: The Orange County School Board Leasing Corporation (the “Leasing Corporation”) is a non-profit organization that exists to facilitate lease financings for school facilities. The Leasing Corporation is an organization separate from The School Board of Orange County, Florida (the “School Board”) with its own bylaws and corporate identification. The current members of the School Board also serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Leasing Corporation. The main purpose of the Leasing Corporation is to facilitate financings under the School Board’s Master Lease Program by serving as the lessor of facilities to be financed under the leases for which the School Board is the lessee. The Leasing Corporation initiates the lease purchase financing by entering into contracts and agreements for the financing of the construction and acquisition of school facilities. Immediately after the closing, rights and responsibilities of the Leasing Corporation are assigned to a trustee bank with no further duties required of the Leasing Corporation. The trustee bank ensures that the proceeds from the lease financing arrangement are used to acquire and construct the school facilities and will also oversee annual principal and interest payments due from the School Board for payments to holders of the Certificates. The School Board is responsible for the actual construction of the facilities. The meeting of the Leasing Corporation will be held on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, immediately following a recess in the meeting of the School Board of Orange County, Florida. Notice of the meeting was published in the Orlando Sentinel .

On November 9, 2021, the recommended alternative name “John Morris Facilities Complex” was submitted through an online survey to staff and community stakeholders (Citizens’ Construction Oversight and Value Engineering Committee). The survey closed on November 11, 2021. The overwhelming response to the survey supported the recommended change.
