Chair Hollander noted that this is a revenue bond that Louisville Metro will not
be responsible for repaying.
A motion was made by Committee Member Winkler, seconded by Committee
Member Sexton Smith, that this Ordinance be recommended for approval.
Mark Franklin, Bond Counsel for Louisville Medical Center, spoke to this item.
He explained that the Steam and Chiller Water Plant was built in the 1950s,
was partially upgraded in the 1970s, and some of the equipment now needs to
be replaced because it is old and out-dated, and this bond will be used to pay
for that equipment. He stated that the equipment produces heating for the
Louisville Metro Government Page 2
Budget Committee Action Summary - Final June 18, 2020
hospitals and medical buildings in the Medical Center downtown, and the
upgrades will be more environmentally friendly due to the change from
coal-powered boilers to natural gas-powered boilers. He stated that the
Ordinance also approves the user agreement where all parties that use the
plant agree to share in the cost of the plant. He also confirmed that Louisville
Medical Center and not Louisville Metro is responsible for all payments with
respect to the bonds.
Committee Member Sexton Smith briefly spoke to the item as the sponsor and
the plant is in her district.
The motion carried by the following vote and the Ordinance was sent to the
Consent Calendar:
