Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations
contained in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File,
include transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling $21.74
million. This consists of $8.89 million from various special funds, $7.98 million
in MICLA funds, $4.64 million in CTIEP funds, and $0.23 million from the
General Fund. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds,
reimbursements, or revenues. There is no additional General Fund impact for
operations and maintenance costs as a result of these recommendations.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations
contained in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File,
comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that appropriations for funds are
limited to available cash balances needed to fund ongoing maintenance,
programming, project shortfalls, and critical operational needs in the current
budget year.
Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA debt is a
General Fund obligation. The proposed MICLA funds for the capital projects
indicated in the March 4, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File, (Items
A, E, L, N, O, U, X, AA, CC, II, JJ, MM, and QQ) would cause the City to
borrow $14,712,568 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period
of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the MICLA-financed projects
is $24,622,763, including interest of approximately $9,910,195. The estimated
average annual debt service is $1,231,143 over a period of 20 years. The
proposed MICLA funds for the installation of fire equipment onto fire vehicles
(Item KK) would cause the City to borrow $200,000 at an approximate five-
and-a-half percent interest rate over a period of 10 years. The total estimated
debt service for the MICLA-financed equipment project is $265,336, including
interest of approximately $65,336. The estimated average annual debt service
is $26,534 over a period of 10 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates
are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. The CAO cannot
fully predict what interest rates will be in the future. In accordance with the
City's Debt Management Policy, the City has an established debt ceiling to
guide the evaluation of the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-
voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is six percent.
The 2024-25 non-voter-approved debt service ratio is 2.63 percent. The
issuance of MICLA debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the
six percent non-voter-approved debt limit. |
