Also consistent with the City’s Mello-Roos and Assessment Financing Policies, as refunding bonds, the Series 2024 Bonds exceed the City’s value-to-lien requirement, will not exceed the City’s maximum tax burden threshold of two percent of assessed value on property annually, will comply with the minimum debt service coverage ratio of 110 percent, will meet the reserve fund requirement, and will amortize in less than 25 years.
