 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with signup or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. A week ago, Letcher County Magistrate Terry Adams suggested the county should sell the Letcher County Recreation Center to get the facility's expenses off the books. Three days later, in a special Letcher Fiscal Court meeting, Letcher County residents discussed the suggestion, with some supporting the idea. I'm a firm believer I think we need to get rid of the Rec Center. And others, saying the county should hold on to the Rec Center. You can go there, which I do. It's crowded. People like it. In that meeting, however, came the revelation that selling the Rec Center may be more of a long shot than originally thought. Letcher County Attorney Jamie Hatton explained that in order to sell the Rec Center, any potential buyer would have to be willing to pay up in a big way. The only way you can do is if you had a buyer that they had to be willing to pay, at least pay off. If the bid wasn't at least pay off, then the county would have to borrow the difference and create a bond and sell a bond and all that stuff to pay it. So as far as selling it, the answer to that is yes we can, but if it doesn't bring what we owe on it, then we have to borrow the difference. Hatton also explained that due to the bond conditions on the Rec Center, the center must be a public use facility, meaning it likely cannot be leased out to a private entity such as the YMCA, which was suggested at the meeting. But it has to be used for a public purchase. It has to be public use. So YMCA would maybe consider private use is what would end up hanging there, I think, because of the way that the financing is structured. It has to be used because it's a public financing meeting. So it has to be YMCA. I believe it is a private. It would have some type of government would have to own it in order to own it under the current structure. The Letra Fiscal Court currently pays $427,000 each year on the Rec Center's bond. The fiscal court has yet to take any action on the Rec Center in regard to the county's projected $1.3 million budget shortfall, and they are expected to meet again soon to consider an occupational tax to raise revenue to address the shortfall.
