Board of Regents: Recommendation to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Up to $20,000,000 of General Revenue Subordinate Lien Notes.-- RECOMMENDATION The Office of the Chancellor recommends that the U. T. Board of Regents adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of up to $20,000,000 of General Revenue Sub ordinate Lien Notes (the "Notes") to provide interim financing for non-PUF eligible capital projects approved by the Board. In adopting the resolution, the Board will (a) authorize the Office of Asset Management to determine the terms and conditions of any Notes within certain established parameters and (b) authorize the Chancellor or any Executive Vice Chancellor on behalf of the Board and under its seal, to execute and deliver any Notes, provided that pro ceeds of the Notes are used to fund projects approved by the Board and that the aggregate principal amount of all Notes outstanding at any time shall not exceed $20,000,000. The Office of the Chancellor also recommends that the u. T. Board of Regents: a. Appoint Vinson & Elkins, Austin, Texas, as legal counsel b. Appoint J. P. Morgan Securities, New York, New York, as placement agent c. Authorize the payment of the costs of establishing the Note purchase program from residual funds in General Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1986, Miscel laneous Costs account #85-0252-2000, and Note issuance costs from proceeds. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The purpose of the Note program is to provide the U. T. System with the ability to accumulate Notes at low cost short-term rates and to refinance the Notes in aggregate, at a later date, with a single long-term debt issue. This ability will translate into the following benefits: a. Borrowings tailored to the individual needs of component projects b. Eventual realization of the efficien cies of single long-term issues c. Timing of permanent financing to market conditions as opposed to immediate fund ing requirements. B of R - 2 It is expected that the Notes will be placed with insti tutional investors such as tax exempt money market funds. Terms and conditions for each Note will be negotiated within parameters to be presented to the Board in advance of the June meeting. 2. U. T. Board of Re~ents: Proposed Amendments to Regents' Rules and RegulatLons, Part One, Chapter IX, Section 4 (Amendment of Rules and RegulatLons).-- RECOMMENDATION The Office of the Board of Regents recommends that Part One, Chapter IX, Section 4 of the Regents' Rules and Regulations be amended to read as follows: Sec. 4. Amendment of Rules and Regulations.- The Regents' Rules and RegulatLons may be added toL [ef] amended, waived, or suspended by a majority of all of the members of the Board at any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Currently the Regents' Rules and Regulations are silent with regard to the specific questLon of whether or by what vote a rule may be suspended or waived. Over time, the Board has established the practice of waiving or suspending one of its rules when conditions warrant, but there is no clear definition with regard to the vote required to do so. The suggested amendment would "codify" the waiver and suspension practice and would include a statement of the required vote. 3. U. T. System: Request for Permission for Individual to Serve as a Member of the Space Science Industry Commission [Regents' Rules and Regulations, Part One, Chapter III, Section 13, subsections 13.(10) and 13.(11)].-- RECOMMENDATION The Office of the Chancellor recommends the approval of Lieutenant Governor Hobby's appointment of Dr. Hans Mark, Chancellor of The University of Texas System, to the Space Science Industry Commission. It is further recommended that the U. T. Board of Regents find that: (1) the holding of this office by Dr. Mark is of benefit to the State of Texas and (2) there is no conflict between Dr. Mark's position in U. T. System Administration and his appointment to this Commission. B of R - 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Space Science Industry Commission has been established by the Texas Sta.te Senate, 70th Legislature, under Senate Resolution 210 to assess the major factors shaping the space science industry, to evaluate the potential of its growth, and to recommend ways of supporting existing facilities while attracting a new space science industry in Texas. This recommendation is in accordance with approval require ments for positions of honor, trust, or profit provided in Article 6252-9a of Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, and Part One, Chapter III, Sect1on 13, Subsect1ons 13.(10) and 13.(11) of the Regents' Rules and Regulations.
