Keystone Project Funding Discussion

T. Rude made a motion to approve payment of $803,206.06 to Keystone for the June payment.
P. Blackard seconded the motion.
The June payment from Schola to Keystone has not yet been paid.  The anticipated payout date is 5-10 days from today.  This has caused payments to subcontractors, hired by Keystone, to be late.  This may cause subcontractors to file a lien, which would delay payment from Schola even longer.  T. Reddicks is proposing fronting $500,000 to Keystone to pay subcontractors prior to the Schola payout. A. Wong confirmed this would not impact anything related to PPP.  C. Park noted the difficulty liens place on projects, and recommends doing what it takes to prevent this.  P. Blackard recommended to pay the full amount needed to pay subcontractors ($803,206.06).
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
