In 1992 these bonds were refunded and reissued. At these times, the bond's bank recorded a Trust Agreement for each -issuance and in 1992 recorded an Irrevocable Escrow Deposit Agreement. These bonds were paid off years ago, but the three Agreements recorded were not released. To clear these items, Well's Fargo, the subsequent owner of the issuing banks, has requested the Authority authorize a member to sign a letter requesting release of these old Agreements. The Certificate of Authorized Signers will name and authorize a member of the Authority to sign the letter, requesting release of the two Trust and one Escrow Agreements.
