Consider Municipal Order 6-2020 entitled A MUNICIPAL ORDER AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF OWENSBORO AND DAVIESS COUNTY FISCAL COURT FOR USE OF THE WALTER FREEMAN FIRE TRAINING FACILITY.
The City owns the Walter Freeman Fire Training Facility and the City and County seek to renew and update their training agreement for an additional five (5) years by entering into a new Memorandum of Agreement.
8.B.
Consider Municipal Order 7-2020 entitled A MUNICIPAL ORDER OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR THE CITY OF OWENSBORO, KENTUCKY, REQUESTING THAT THE KENTUCKY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCE AUTHORITY ADOPT A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $62,000,000, THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH WILL BE LOANED TO CHRISTIAN CARE COMMUNITIES, INC., A KENTUCKY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, AND/OR ONE OR MORE AFFILIATES, WITH FACILITIES LOCATED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF OWENSBORO, TO FINANCE AND/OR REFINANCE THE ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPPING OF CERTAIN HEALTH CARE AND HEALTH RELATED FACILITIES OWNED AND OPERATED BY THEM.
KRS 103.210 authorizes the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) to promote economic development in the Commonwealth by authorizing the issuance of Revenue Bonds for eligible projects within the Commonwealth. Christian Care Communities, Inc. (CCC) is a faith-based provider of senior living and post-acute care services. In addition to other Kentucky cities, CCC operates the Maplebrook Village facility in Owensboro. In 2015, the Owensboro Board of Commissioners approved a Municipal Order requesting that KEDFA adopt a resolution providing for the issuance of Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000. CCC now seeks the issuance of new revenue bonds to finance, refinance, and reimburse the costs of health care and health-related facilities in various Cities of the Commonwealth in an amount not to exceed $62,000,000. There is no "new" project in Owensboro that is being financed with proceeds of the proposed KEDFA bonds. CCC has requested that the City of Owensboro approve a new Municipal Order requesting KEDFA to issue the new bonds. City approval is required by statute, but does not obligate the City by the issuance of the bonds.
