Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority totaling $46.11 million are recommended in said Fourth CPR. Of this amount, $17.5 million is for transfers, appropriations, and expenditure authority for the LADOT, $10.12 million for the GSD, and $18.49 million is for other City funds. All transfers and appropriations are based on existing funds, reimbursements, or revenues. There is no immediate impact to the General Fund for operational and maintenance costs reflected in Attachment 6 of said Fourth CPR as a result of the proposed actions. Special Fund monies will fund the full cost of acquisition of the Proposition K specified project for the Southeast Valley Roller and Skateboard Rink. An anticipated impact on the General Fund is anticipated in future years for operational and maintenance costs at the time the new facility becomes operational, which will be addressed through future City budgets.

Debt Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no debt impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommendations in said Fourth CPR as there are no new debt issuance authorizations recommended. The recommendations included in said Fourth CPR include transfers from previously authorized MICLA projects. Debt service on Wastewater System Revenue Bonds is paid from the Sewer Construction and Maintenance (SCM) Fund. Of the $53,566,526 in recommended transfers, as much as $15 million is expected to be issued as new debt, while the balance is expected to be paid with available bond proceeds held with the City. The issuance of $15 million for eligible capital costs is expected to result in the City paying a total of $31 million, including $16 million in interest, over 30 years at a rate of 5.5 percent. During the life of the bonds, the estimated average annual debt service is $1,033,000 over 30 years. Actual interest rates may differ as rates are dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance
