Because the county commissioners have now adopted a resolution that sets in motion the events leading to the sale of Industrial Revenue Bonds which will help finance the sale of the burn plant, much of the Solid Waste Board meeting was centered around discussion of the bonds and the master resolution. Wil Jefferies said, This document is an instruction book, a process that this board can follow for solid waste management. He said that they tried to make the master resolution broad enough to cover all the situations in waste management. At the same time, it L a very tight procedures manual which can't be violated because it falls under state and feder- used to pay off existing debt. Whatever money remains, somehwere between $7,000,000 and $7,500,000, is placed in a stabliza-tio- n fund to buy the tip fee down to $15 per ton. Katy Seghers will lease the plant from the new owner and the district will pay Seghers to operate the plant. Money from steam and tipping fees will go to the district to become the money that pays Seghers. At the same time, an additional bond issue to cover the debt service reserve will be issued. If re- venue should fall below the amount needed to pay for opera step-by-st- al laws. This resolution is completely different from what the county may do on July 22, when the Industrial Bonds are sold, be said. Passing tions of the plant, money from this bond would cover it. The county will establish this debt service reserve by buying a bond from the district. The district will take the money and put it in its debt service reserve for a cushion on the lease payments. The debt service reserve is equal to one years principle and interest on the county bond. That should amount be about It will be put in the bank at about the same interest it was borrowed at. The intent is to never use that money, but reserve it as a cushion. The industrial bond can only be paid for by revenue from steam and tipping fees. The district is committed by ordinance to charge whatever is necessary to make money, and each city has signed a document with the district that all the waste in that city will go to the plant and that they will pay the set price per ton for disposal. This, in effect, guarantees that all burnable waste will go to the plant. Jefferies said that bidding so far is running from 64 to 75 percent debt and 25 to 3 percent cah. The buyer must pay the fair market value, $51,750,000. The two most important elements are the ratio and what the lease payments will be because the district pays that. The lease payment is where the company buying the plant will make their profit. The master resolution was approved and a second resolution $3,500,000. 1 this master resolution does not obligate the district to anything that happens through supplimental resolutions. Mr. Jefferies also explained the complex flow of money that will occur when the bonds are sold. The county will issue the Industrial Revenue bonds and loan the proceeds to the future owner to buy the facilities. When the buyer pays the district for the plant, that money is debt-to-equi- ty Continued Page 2 Commission sets public forum By CHERIE HUBER CommisFARMINGTON sioner Harold Tippetts, chairman of the County Commissioners, has announced a public forum to be held July 29 from p.m. in the Commission Chambers.
