Mr. Ray presented this item to Council stating when the Authority was created in February, 1987 it was felt there were board operational parameters under Article III "Purposes".

With this in place, the Authority has the opportunity to act as the conduit in a bond refinancing plan for the Baptist General Assembly and would receive an annual fee. This would give the Authority the means to expand their revenue sources. The OEDA Trustees have voted to approve the amendment. He recommended adoption of Resolution No. 88-14.
