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. Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
