Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations stated in the April 28, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council file, including transfers, appropriations, and authority for expenditures totaling $32.39 million. This consists of $2.89 million from various special funds, $27.70 million in MICLA funds, $0.84 million in CTIEP funds, and $0.96 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 April 28, 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 April 28, 2025 CAO report, attached to the Council File (Items C, E, F, H, K, Q, R, V, GG, HH, and JJ) would cause the City to borrow $28.63 at an approximate 5.5 percent interest rate over a period of 20 years. The total estimated debt service for the MICLA-funded projects is $47.91 million, including interest of approximately $19.3 million. The estimated average annual debt service is $2.4 million over a period of 20 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance. We 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 2.53 percent. The issuance of MICLA debt for these projects will not cause the City to exceed the six percent non-voter-approved debt limit.
