By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Feb. 28 - Pasco County in Florida priced $85.28 million in refunding revenue bonds, according to a source familiar with the deal.

The bonds (A2) included $45.7 million in series 2008A solid waste and resource recovery system refunding revenue bonds, $15.09 million in series 2008B solid waste and resource recovery system refunding revenue bonds, $4.545 million in series 2008C solid waste and resource recovery system refunding revenue bonds and $19.945 million in series 2008D solid waste and resource recovery system refunding revenue bonds.

The 2008A bonds are variable rate and reset at the weekly rate, said a sellside source familiar with the deal.

The 2008B bonds are due from 2009 to 2012 with coupons from 3% to 4% and yields ranging from 2.35% to 3.14%.

The 2008C bonds are due from 2009 to 2012 with coupons from 4% to 4.5% and yields from 2.65% to 3.59%.

The 2008D bonds are term bonds due in 2022 and 2024. The 2022 bonds have a 5% coupon priced at 103.933, and the 2024 bonds have a 5% coupon priced at 102.546.

The bonds were sold on a negotiated basis. UBS Investment Bank is the underwriter for the 2008A bonds, and UBS Investment Bank and JPMorgan are the lead managers with Citigroup as the co-manager for the 2008B, 2008C and 2008D bonds.

The proceeds will be used to defease all the solid waste system's existing bonds to provide cash-flow relief, to fund a debt service reserve account and to provide funds for minor capital improvements.
