Re: Appointments to Educational Facilities Authority
Dear Ms. Bartlett:
The Educational Facilities Authority(the"EFA") has a need for the appointment of two
new members. One appointment is to fill the unexpired term of Ross Obley,who passed away
several months ago. The other is to fill the remainder of the term of David Easlick, who has
informed the Authority that he has moved out of state,has already registered to vote in his new
state, and is therefore not a Florida resident and by law cannot serve on the Authority. The
Authority's need is immediate, as the Authority has received an application from Hodges
University for the refunding of its outstanding bonds in the next several weeks.
You have informed me that Alice J. Carlson and William J. Reagan have applied for
these openings, and have requested a recommendation with regard to these applications. With
regard to Alice Carlson, she is a former member of the Authority and was our chairwoman for
two years. In addition to her previous experience on the EFA,her business involves managing
and maintaining CDD assessment rolls, an adjunct to the tax-exempt financing for a CDD, and
therefore she is very familiar with the process for considering applications for tax-exempt bonds.
Of primary importance in the appointment of members to an Authority like EFA is
attendance and availability for meetings, since most meetings are special meeting called and held
for the purpose of consider bond applications, and expeditious action is generally required in
order to achieve favorable bond pricing. Ms. Carlson had a perfect attendance record when she
was a member of EFA. Her CDD business does not present a conflict or potential conflict with
her duties on the Authority.
William J. Reagan is a 40+-year resident of Collier County, and is a former Clerk of the
Circuit Court and a former member of the Housing Finance Authority of Collier County, and is
very familiar with the process for considering applications for tax-exempt bonds. For the past
30+years he has been an investment banker, dealing in the underwriting of tax-exempt bonds.
In addition; Mr. Reagan has served as a financial advisor to many Florida counties, cities, and
special districts on matters concerning the issuance of bonds. Mr. Reagan had a perfect

attendance record when a member of the Housing Finance Authority. The investment banking
firm by which he is employed does not engage in the underwriting of bonds of the type issued by
the EFA, and therefore his business does not present a conflict or potential conflict with his
duties on the Authority
For the reasons stated above the appointment of both these persons is highly
recommended.
If you need further information, please give me a call.
Very truly yours
