Budget Overview
Over the past year, the City transitioned from a short- term internally- managed portfolio of
certificates of deposit, money market funds, and bank accounts to two externally -managed
portfolios: short- to- medium term ( PFM Asset Management) and medium -to -long tern ( Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney). Staff will continue to monitor investments to evaluate whether the
enhanced diversification and third -party management is resulting in additional value to the City.
Debt Issuance
Debt Limit — The State of Florida does not place a legal limit of debt on municipalities.
However, general obligation debts greater than one year require voter refer n approval.
Special revenue debt is pledged by a specific revenue source and limited b vaila a revenue;
therefore it is not subject to voter referendum. Any new debt will be carefully Nuated as to its
impact on operations.
Debt Philosophy — The use of debt financing for long -term cap ement programs is
based upon two types of debt financing: 1) " pay -as- you -go" and pay -as -you- use ". In
practice, the City uses a mix of these two basic methods naike is Capital Improvements
Program, with pay -as- you -go financing used for recurrent capi[ expenditures and with pay -as-
you -use financing used for longterm, non -recurrent eapit expenditures.
Pay- As- You- Go — A type of financing whereby c revenues, taxes, and /or grants rather
than long term debt are used to pay for apft a provements. Example: annual street
paving.
Pay- As- You- Use — A type of financing, y long term debt is used to pay for capital
improvements. Example: debut ffiiq a new municipal facility.
Debt Policy Statement —The y statements govern the City' s use of debt to finance
long -term, non -recurring capital
Recurrent capital expen
foll a
o ements:
for replacement, expansion and/ or acquisition of plant,
equipment, and/ or mo cles will be financed on a pay -as- you -go basis from funds
available and ap p a ' n the City' s annual operating budget.
Only long -term, eeurrent capital expenditures for public improvements having a
relatively greater cost and longer useful life, and which require additional funding over and
beyond the fiscal capacity of the City' s annual operating budget, will be financed through the
issuance or creation of long -term debt. These expenditures will not be debt -financed for
periods exceeding the projected useful life of the improvement.
All capital improvements financed through the use of long -term debt will be consistent with
the adopted Capital Improvements Program and the current fiscal year' s adopted Budget.
Revenue sources that will be used to pay long -term debt will be conservatively projected to
ensure that such debt is adequately and soundly financed.
The City' s total general obligation debt will not exceed 10% of its assessed
