Through this program the School Board will~be~able to purchase microcomputers, satellite and associated equipment for use in the schools. As a part of a state-wide pro,ram managed by the Virginia Public School Authority (~PSA), the City will be required to issue a Genera% Obligation Bond Resolution which will be pooled with other localities' resolutioa. The VPSA will then sell the issue in block, to provide the source of ~f~nding to purchase the equipment. All debt service (principal and interest), will be paid by the state with the City not being resuonsible for any expenditures unless the General Assembly fails to appropriate state funds for.this purpose during the 5-year life of the bond issue. However, it should be noted that the outstanding debt issued under the bond authorization would be required to be counted against the City's debt limit. At the Council a~opted the fins.t ~esolution, I informed you that a public hearing and bond authorization would be needed. I have had the.necessary advertisements placed in the ~newspaper to comply with the legal requirements for this public hearing to ~be held on April 11, 1989. I therefore recommend that the General Obligation Bond resolution in the amount of~$243,.915o41 be favorably considered."
