For all of the loans, the collateral <br />required by the Board was a pledge of water system revenues and a security interest in <br />the Plateau Creek Pipeline project. The District has requested that the Board revise this <br />collateral requirement to reflect the collateral policy adopted by the Board at its <br />September 1999 meeting. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND. <br /> <br />The Board approved a loan to the District in the amount of $8,000,000 at its November <br />1992 meeting. At its November 1998 meeting, the Board approved increasing the loan <br />by $9,600,000, and at its January 2000 meeting, the Board increased the loan by <br />$10,000,000 for a total loan amount of $27,600,000, not to exceed 50% of eligible project <br />costs, for a project estimated to cost $55,360,000. Of the total loan amount, the Board <br />had approved $10,600,000 out of the Construction Fund and $17,000,000 out of the <br />Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account. <br /> <br />The collateral required for the total loan amount was a pledge of water system revenues <br />and a security interest in the Plateau Creek Pipeline project. The District will contract for <br />the funds through its water activity enterprise. <br /> <br />At its September 1999 meeting, the Board adopted a policy regarding the collateral for <br />loans made out of the Construction Fund and the Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual <br />
