CONSIDER DOCUMENTS FOR COLORADO HEALTH FACILITIES AUTHORITY, HOSPITAL REVENUE BONDS (NORTH COLORADO MEDICAL CENTER) SERIES 1993, AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH NORTH COLORADO MEDICAL CENTER, INC. , REGARDING INTENT OF PARTIES AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Lee Morrison gave a brief overview of the bond issue being considered. He said it is the same as previous bond issues approved through the County. However, due to the complex lease structure, a Memorandum of Understanding is included which would change the alignment of all parties in reference to financing, and eliminate the Board of Trustees from the financing loop. Don Shroever, representing Kutak, Rock, and Huie, explained that the Memorandum of Understanding will simplify any future bond issues. It will remove the Board of Trustees from the financing side, while allowing the County to maintain control over consent of any future bond issues. The difference between Option #1 and Option #2 is that Option #1 would go into effect as soon as the 1985 bonds are paid off; and Option #2 would allow the Memorandum of Understanding to go into effect only if a nationally recognized bond counsel is unable to deliver an opinion that the operation of the Hospital Facilities, as presently being carried on, is not subject to the limitations contained in Amendment One. In response to Chairman Harbert, Mr. Morrison stated Option #2 allows the Board the maximum flexibility and still maintains their control over similar bond issues. He said the Board would not be precluded from the reorganization, but it is not mandated by Option #2. Commissioner Webster moved to approve the draft resolution, Option #2 of the Memorandum of Understanding, and authorize the Chairman to sign the necessary documents.
