NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING:
TO APPROVE AN INTERFUND LOAN FROM THE PERPETUAL CARE FUND
American Fork City, Utah (the ?City?) is in need of expanding cemetery services. For a number of years the City has had a moratorium on burial lots due to the inability to meet the projected demand. In the FY2014-15 City budget the City Council provided general direction for the City to pursue the expansion of cemetery facilities on an existing park using a loan from the Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund (the ?Cemetery Expansion Project?).
The Cemetery Expansion Project is currently estimated to cost approximately $530,000 - $650,000. The City wishes to use the Cemetery Perpetual Care fund to finance the Cemetery Expansion Project. It has been determined that the Perpetual Care Fund can lend moneys to the capital projects fund in order to finance the acquisition, construction and improvement of the Cemetery Expansion Project. Utah State law dictates the manner in which said interfund loan can be structured and used.
The following provides a summary of the proposed terms and conditions of the interfund loan.
Loan Amount: $530,000.00
Term/Maturity of Loan: 10 years from date of issuing the loan
Interest Rate: 2.35% (roughly equivalent to the 10 year US Treasury Note)
Fund Lending the Money: Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund (American Fork City)
Fund Borrowing (receiving) the Money: General Fund/Capital Projects Fund (American Fork City)
Purpose of Loan: City will use the loan proceeds to construct the Cemetery Expansion Project, as described above.
City?s Repayment Approach:
*City may use other available resources to retire the loan. This is only an illustration of the City?s current intent to repay the loan. The City will begin to sell burial lots at the City Cemetery. The amount per burial lot will be $1,200 per lot. The City intends on using the $1,200 in accordance with the following outline:
? $200???..Perpetual Care Fund
? $250???..Loan Repayment
? $750???..O&M, capital repair & reserves
? $1,200??...Total
