His work has included working with finance, management, and budget staffs as well as private underwriters and bond counsels in support of major bond issues. He has worked with the Local Government Commission to gain approval of two bond issues as well as to seek advice for the preparation of the aforementioned business plans. In the business plans that he has helped to prepare, he has looked at various financing and funding options (pay as you go, ‘debt, and combinations thereof), the impact of facility plan alternatives on system costs, and methods for reducing the costs of current programs. A major focus of ‘each plan has been to streamline operations and make them competitive with private operations, For Wake County, Mr. Wiseman assisted the Solid Waste Management Division with the financing of $25 million in system improvements through Special Obli- gation Bonds. He is working with the County's Finance and Budget Departments as well as staff at the North Carolina Local Government Commission and ‘County's Underwriters and Bond Counsel.

For Davidson County, Mr. Wiseman assisted the County with the preparation of a business plan for its solid waste program. County Commissioners were enter taining proposals from private waste companies to take over the County's opera~ tion because of what they perceived to be an inefficient and overpriced operation. ‘Mr. Wiseman worked with the County Manager and Finance Director to develop three scenarios under which the County would retain control of the operations: (1) maintain the current tipping fee of $33/ton and pay for future capacity expan- sions in cash, (2) cut the rate to $27/ton and pay for future expansions with a mixture of cash and debt, or (3) cut the fee to $22/ton and pay for all expansions with debt. The County Commissioners were impressed with the results of the business plan and allowed the County to maintain control of the solid waste operations. DM Camp Dresser & McKee
