Mr Allan Brooks of the Fagin Brown law firm presented the item. Mr Brooks said that this is an
administrative item required by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board in order for the OPWA to
apply for a loan through the OWRB to finance improvements to the wastewater treatment plant.
The OWRB provides low interest financing for eligible projects. The OPWA has taken
advantage of this type of financing in the past and currently has three notes with the OWRB.
Since the engineering design for Phase II improvements to the wastewater treatment plant is
nearing completion, the OPWA Trustees must authorize an application in order to obtain
financing for the project. Dr Bode moved, seconded by Mr Williams, to approve Resolution
#99-04.
