RECOMMENDED MOTION:

BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In order to facilitate the issuance of certain debt by the St Charles Health System, the County
established the Hospital Authority of Deschutes County many years ago. The Hospital system, a
nonprofit 501 (c)(3), is planning to refund its series 2014 bonds in the estimated amount of
$80,000,000 in order to realize interest cost savings over the remaining life of the bonds.
The Hospital Authority held a required hearing on May 6,2022 to provide members of the public
an opportunity to express their views regarding the issuance of the 2022 bonds. A copy of the
Public Hearing Report will be available as an attachment to the resolution.
Approval of Resolution 2022-027 by the Board of County Commissioners is the final step to
provide the Authority to St Charles Health System to move forward with the Bond Issuance.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
All Bonds issued by the Health System are payable solely from the revenues of the Health System
and do not constitute obligations of Deschutes County.
