T. Reddicks explained the reasoning for why National Bank of Indianapolis (NBOI) suggested this if we are taking on more debt for the new Paramount Community Heights (PCH) build.  It gives NBOI the ability to track financials being used to purchase property or enter into a bond deal.  The Board discussed the pros and cons with T. Reddicks of agreeing this resolution.  This will be discussed in more detail in the Executive Session as it pertains to purchasing property.  T.
