Aye. Okay, P forty one. I think this is kind of uh This is this is not a contentious thing here. This is a pass through.
We approved the publication of the hearing of this matter in the Tampa Bay Times February ninth of this year.
Amy Farrell, Budget Director with Pasco's Office of Management and Budget. There was a Scribner error on the agenda memorandum for this one. This is not Commission Districts 2 and 4. As the memo states, it is actually Commission District 5. We are here for a tax equity and fiscal responsibility act, also known as TEFRA, application and public hearing.
Um Yeah, yes please. Okay. So federal tax law allows for the issuance of tax exempt bonds for qualified private activity. IRS let regulations requires approval from the County Commission as the highest elected governing body with jurisdiction over the area in which the project will occur, a finding the project is in the public interest, a public hearing to gather input from the public, and the approval will allow. Allow Creation Foundation Inc., also known as Dayspring Academy, to borrow at a tax exempt
rate.
Day Spring Academy is seeking to borrow up to $5 million. The funds will be issued by the Industrial Development Authority, a political subdivision of the state of Arizona, not Pasco County. The purpose of the bonds is to finance the acquisition, construction, expansion, remodeling, renovation, improvement, and equipping of an approximately 26,300 square foot charter school building and ancillary facility. Day Spring Academy is located in Newport Ritchie and fund capitalized interest and other costs of issuance. So
as a reminder, Pasco County will have no obligation with respect to these bonds. The county is not responsible for paying the debt service. There is no cost to the county resulting from the approval of this application, and Day Spring Academy is not borrowing from Pasco County.
Um it doesn't say which I'm just curious which school, but it doesn't specifically say If it's for a specific school or for any other schools.
It's the it is the Previous public health building that you surplused and sold to them, it's for paying for that building and for renovation.
