Will Hike Tax Levy meet the payback, it will be necessary to increase the county property tax levy about .60 of a mill, Chairman Don Chase announced. It was understood when voters approved the bond issue that it would mean a tax boost of up to one mill. The shorter schedule was computed to offer the same annual payments as the longer one but with a $275,000 balloon payment in the final year (1985). Chairman Chase said a sinking fund will be established to meet that final payment. It will mean setting aside about $23,500 annually which the commissioner said will come from federal revenue sharing funds. To Christensen, representing Eliminate Additional Interest a sinking fund will eliminate the need to pay additional interest on a refunded issue. Christensen called the First Security bid an excellent one, adding I dont believe its substantially different than it would have been a year ago. Interest over the repayment schedule will amount to $253,050 (compared to $310,447 for the longer period). Other bids came from E. F. Hutton, 6.48 percent; Continental Bank and Trust company, 6.28, and Kirchner, Moore and Company, 6.43, all on the shorter schedule. Chase said in event that revenue sharing is not renewed, which I have every confidence it will be, the sinking fund would bring another adjustment in the mill levy. In response to a question about the long delay in getting the nursing home project underway, the commission chairman pointed out that construction costs are more favorable now than they were a year ago. He added that the chief advantage in waiting was to secure the $414,773 in federal matching money.
