BACKGROUND
Gaston County entered into a financing contract on January 7, 2021 with Bank of America for the installment financing of county vehicles and other rolling stock. Proceeds from the financing were deposited into an interest-bearing account with the NC Capital Management Trust (NCCMT). Interest earnings totaling $13,883 have accrued on the funds. Also, there is $2,798 in unspent proceeds due to vehicles/accessories costing less than the original quote. Per the County's Master Equipment Financing Agreement with Bank of America, at the Lender's discretion based on the amount remaining, any unspent funds remaining after the project is completed must be paid to Bank of America and applied as a prepayment of the remaining balance. Bank of America has requested the interest earnings and unspent proceeds totaling $16,681 be submitted as a prepayment toward the remaining balance of the 2021 financing. This Board Action and Budget Change Request, if approved, appropriates the interest earnings and unspent proceeds for the payment to Bank of America.
