Sources for 2016 Debt 2016 Proposed Debt Requirement Including Principal & Interest and Proposed Debt Issue in FY2016 $7,642,826 • Debt Fund Property Taxes $4,403,000 (58%) • Water/Wastewater Fund $2,315,663 (30%) • RDC $794,991 (10%) • Hotel/Motel Fund $62,437 (1%) • Subsidence Fund $63,145(1%)
Key Points Regarding Current Debt • Scheduled annual payments reduce the City’s outstanding debt (principal) by an average of $4.8 million per year for the next two years. • Based on the current debt schedules, annual debt service requirements (principal and interest) will decrease by approximately $200,000 in FY2017, and $900,000 in FY2018 due to the retirement of debt issues. • The City’s outstanding tax supported debt was most recently rated “Aa3” by Moody’s and increased to “AA-” by Standard and Poor’s, further indicating the City’s fiscal stability and highlighting the City’s very strong creditworthiness.
Debt Service Fund Balance • Financial policies recommend a minimum Fund Balance of 67% of Annual Debt Obligations be maintained as City policy. • Current Annual Debt Obligations for FY2015 are $6,892,827. • Current Fund Balance is $4,990,530 or 72% of Annual Debt Obligations.
Key Points Regarding Future Debt • Water/Wastewater, Subsidence, RDC and Civic Center Funds will continue to pay 100% of their portion of the debt. • Future debt issued for the Alternate Water Project should be paid with subsidence fees or water impact fees and consequently should not increase the City’s debt tax rate. • Other alternatives to strategically maintain the debt rate include: • Strategically schedule the issuance of debt to qualify as “Bank Qualified” - $10,000,000 per year. • Structure future debt to control impact of debt rate. • Maintain adequate fees for special purposes (subsidence fees) to continue to cover the associated costs.
RDC Debt Requirements – TOTAL OBLIGATIONS The RDC Debt is included in the Debt Service Fund. RDC is responsible for this portion of the Debt Service Fund obligations.
Summary of Water/Wastewater Debt • Not included in the Debt Service Fund. • Includes self-supporting debt such as revenue bonds, capital leases and State grant loans. • Total Water/Wastewater debt decreased by $667,258 from FY2015 to FY2016. • Three debt issues remain in W/WW Fund • SECO Loan – State of Texas • Bank of America – SECO projects • Texas Water Development Board – no interest loan
