Debt limit

6.3(1) The debt limit at the calculation time of a regional services

(

a) in respect of the regional services commission's total debt, 2

times the revenue of the regional services commission, and

(

b) in respect of the regional services commission's debt service,

respect of the debt service.

(2) The debt limit at the calculation time of a regional services

commission that is authorized to provide services other than public

utility services is,

(

a) in respect of the regional services commission's total debt,

0.5 times the revenue of the regional services commission,

and

(

b) in respect of the regional services commission's debt service,

0.1 times the revenue of the regional services commission in

respect of the debt service.

Revenue

6.4 For the purposes of

section 6.3, the revenue of a regional services

commission is the total of all revenue reported in the most recent

audited financial statement of the commission, excluding transfers

from the governments of Alberta and Canada for the purposes of a

capital property reported in that statement if those transfers are

included in the total revenue, and before expenses are deducted.

Total debt

6.5 For the purposes of

section 6.3, the total debt of a regional

services commission is the principal outstanding at the calculation time

on borrowings made by the commission less the amount of principal

that the commission is entitled to recover from another regional

services commission or a municipality at the calculation time.

Debt service

6.6(1) For the purposes of

section 6.3, the debt service of the regional

services commission at the calculation time is the sum of,

(

a) for borrowings made by the commission in which the

commission is required to pay principal during the 12 months

after the calculation time, the total amount of principal and

interest that the commission will be required to pay in respect

of those borrowings during the 12 months after the

calculation time, and

b) for borrowings made by the commission in which the

commission is not required to pay any principal during the 12

(3) For the purposes of determining D in the formula in subsection (2), if

the actual rate of interest under a borrowing is not known at the calculation

time for some or all of the payments under the borrowing, the rate of

interest for those payments is determined by using the rate of interest in

effect at the calculation time.

services commission providing to the Minister a business plan that is

acceptable to the Minister, prescribe a different debt limit for that

regional services commission.
