RESOLUTION STATING SILVER CREEK TOWNSHIP BOARD POSITION ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO LEGAL STATUS OF THE NEW RIVER MEDICAL CENTER

 

WHEREAS, the Silver Creek Township Board believes that the township taxpayers should not be burdened by the levy imposed by the Hospital District; and

 

WHEREAS, the  Hospital Board has initiated studies to determine whether or not the Hospital District should proceed in its present legal form or make modifications to or change that form; and

 

WHEREAS, the Hospital Board has been provided with a variety of options regarding these issues; and

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Board of Silver Creek of Wright County, Minnesota as follows:

 

1.    That the Hospital Board takes all appropriate actions to dissolve the District upon the earliest callable date of all existing taxpayer-pledged bonds (2016).

 

2.    That no new bonds be issued by the Hospital District containing a pledge of levy funds.

 

3.    That any lease or other agreement between the Hospital District and another organization include provisions that would preclude the issuance of further bonds by the Hospital District for the benefit of the organization or the Hospital District.

 

4.    That any lease or other agreement between the District and another organization require an eventual buyout including repayment of any amount levied between the date of the lease or agreement and date of termination or buyout to be disbursed to the member Cities and Townships, assumption of all Hospital District debts and assumption of all Hospital District liabilities.  Any levy amounts repaid would go to the Cities and Townships included in the District in proportion to their payment.
