Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 13, 2006
Through: Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From: Kristin Erchinger, Finance Director
Agenda Item: Long-Term Care Facility Revenue Bonds
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
The City of Seward entered into an agreement with the Women’s Division of Global Ministries of the United
Methodist Church effective April 9, 2003, to lease the existing Wesley Rehabilitation and Care Center, for the
purposes of co-locating the local hospital and long-term care facilities. The City of Seward entered into a
Management and Operating Agreement with Providence Health System Alaska, to operate the co-located
Providence Seward Medical and Care Center, effective April 9, 2003, with the understanding that the City would
make every effort to expedite the replacement of the dilapidated long-term care facility, which had exceeded its
useful life.
The City was awarded a $1.6 million grant from the Denali Commission in September, 2004, to plan and design
the new long-term care facility. At this time, the project has completed the 35% schematic design phase, with
site work expected to start in May, 2006. Project completion is estimated in October, 2007.
The project will consist of five buildings; four residential homes each providing ten private rooms with
bathrooms, and one commons building to house therapies, administrative offices, and building maintenance
facilities.
The City of Seward has engaged the services of Anderson Cronen & Lohr Healthcare Consultants, LLC, and
Financial Consultants of Alaska, to perform the pro forma financial projections for the co-located facility
(including capital construction costs.) Preliminary analyses demonstrate the financial viability of the co-located
entity, including its ability to cover the costs of annual debt service on the new facility. The City intends to issue
$25 million in Revenue Bonds to be repaid through revenues of the co-located entity, and since a substantial
portion of user fees come from Medicaid reimbursements, the revenue stream for repayment is considered stable.
A final pro forma analysis will be conducted for inclusion in the Bond Bank Application seeking financing for
the project.
The City of Seward has $5,075,000 in outstanding general obligation bond debt on the 1996 Hospital Bonds, as
of January 1, 2006. These bonds were backed by the full faith and credit of the City, and were intended to be
repaid through a one percent sales tax implemented in 1982, which generates approximately $800,000 annually.
The current annual debt service payments on this bond range from $742,000 to $848,000 per year, with the
bonds maturing in April, 2013. Upon maturity of these bonds, it is possible that this revenue stream could be
used to offset healthcare facility costs, if necessary.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST
Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
Comprehensive Plan (2006): The Comprehensive Plan supports expanding health care capacity in the
community:

Long-Term Care Facility Revenue Bonds

FISCAL NOTE
The City intends to issue $25 million in Revenue Bonds, with revenues from the co-located hospital and long-
term care facility supporting repayment of the debt service. Annual debt payments on the bonds are estimated
to be between $1.8 and $2.1 million, depending on the final amortization period selected for repayment.
