Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that transfers appropriations and expenditure authority totaling $13,986,387 are recommended in this report. Of this amount, $9,246,040 is for transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority to the GSD, $3,740,347 is for other City funds, and $1,000,000 for the Capital Finance Administration Fund. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements or revenues. There is an estimated annual impact of $13,000 due to operations and maintenance costs beginning in Fiscal Year 2017-18 for turf maintenance at three fire stations as a result of these recommendations (Attachment 5 of the October 19, 2015 CAO report, attached to the Council file).  Additionally, the transfer of funds from Fire, Animal, and Citywide Public Safety Bond Programs to the Reserve Fund will reimburse the General Fund $481,768.97 for BOE staffing costs incurred in 2014-15.

Debt Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that the issuance of MICLA bonds is a General Fund obligation. The re-authorization to use MICLA financing provided for in the Adopted Budget will cause the City to borrow approximately $29.1 million (includes project costs, costs of issuance, and debt service reserve fund) at a five percent interest rate. The total estimated debt service is $46.7 million which includes the borrowing amount and interest ($17.6 million). During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $2.34 million over 20 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.

In accordance with the City’s Debt Management Policy, the City has set debt ceilings to use as a guide in evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voter direct debt service as percent of General Fund Revenues is six percent. The City is currently at 4.46 percent. The issuance of the debt from this re-authorization will not impact the City’s debt capacity for non-voter approved debt as the issuance of debt for routine capital improvements is already included in the debt ratio.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
