<br />Projected Debt Capacity
<br />Debt Financing, which involves borrowing money using the county's assets as collateral, is one way
<br />that the county has provided for its capital facility needs. The primary rationale for providing capital
<br />facilities through indebtedness is that it spreads the cost of a facility over its useful life and thus is
<br />paid for by those who will use the facility.
<br />Table 6.16 provides a summary of the county's estimated ability to raise bonds without a public vote.
<br />The county's bonding capacity is identified for 10, 20, and 30 years. As table 6.16 indicates, the
<br />county's available bonding capacity for the next 10 years is $152,000,000, with an additional potential
<br />of $293,000,000.
