The total estimated debt service for the acquisition of capital equipment and Los Angeles Convention Center capital improvements is $104,632,000, including interest of $28,219,000. During the life of the bonds, the combined estimated average annual debt service over the first 10 years is $9,678,000 and $786,000 for the following 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 in evaluating the affordability for future debt. The debt ceiling for non-voted direct debt as a percentage of General Fund revenues is 6.0 percent. The City is currently at 4.14 percent for 2018-19. The issuance of debt for these projects will not impact the City’s debt capacity for non-voted approved debt as the issuance of debt for this project is already included in the debt ratio. Budgetary adjustments totaling approximately $147 million are recommended in Sections 1, 2, and 5 of the First FSR for FY 2018-19 which include: $4.15 million in Special Fund reappropriations, $13.65 million in new appropriations, $41 million for transfers between accounts within various departments and funds, $6.84 million for transfers between departments and funds, $4.33 million in appropriations from various accounts within the UB, and $76.41 million in MICLA reauthorizations.
