ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE EMPLOYMENT OF A QUALIFIED FIRM TO PERFORM ARBITRAGE CALCULATIONS RELATING TO THE 1988 BOND ISSUE Ms Bishop stated that the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 requires that excess interest earned in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds, be rebated to the United States Treasury. A calculation of the amount must be made annually. Because of the complexity of that portion of the tax code, a firm specialized in that field of accounting needs to be retained to complete the calculation. The firm of Deloitte & Touche has performed the calculations for the past two years, and staff recommended that they be retained to perform the current calculation requirement. Mr Burris moved, seconded by Mr Ramey, to approve a contract in the amount of $2000 with the firm of Deloitte & Touche to provide bond rebate computation services for the 1988 Series Revenue Bonds for the period of November 22, 1988 through November 1, 1994.
