4.      Actions with Discussion

 

4.1.   Line of Credit

 

Recommend authorization to establish and be the signatory for a $500,000 line of credit with First & Peoples Bank of Russell, Kentucky to cover cash flow needs due to the large amount of receivables.  The current receivables of $1,205,000 include $340,000 due from the state Adult Ed programs plus approximately $600,000 due from USF funded technology projects.  Adult Education was three and one/half months into the year when they paid us last year and we are again three and one/half months into this year and we have not received any AE funds.  The USF has historically been very slow in paying KEDC and the districts funds due for completed projects.  Our carryover balance normally covers our cash flow needs but the line of credit is needed to assure that payrolls are met and that we can pay our bills.  Our cash balance as of October 15 is approximately $57,000 and we are holding vendor bills unpaid.  The October 31 payroll will require more than $100,000.
