<br />Proiected Debt Capacity
<br />Debt Financing is one way that the county has provided for its capital facility needs. The primary
<br />rationale for providing capital facilities through indebtedness is that it spreads the cost of a facility
<br />over its useful life and thus is paid for by those who will use the facility.
<br />Table 6.14 identifies the amount of revenue that the County can raise by issuing revenue bonds.
<br />Those bonds can be issued without a public vote. That table identifies the County's bonding capacity
<br />for 10, 20, and 30 years. As table 6.14 indicates, the County's available bonding capacity for a 10
<br />year issue is $233,400,000 while its bonding capacity for a 30 year issue is $585,800,000.
