| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The County Department of Financial Services updated the Policy on Borrowing, Debts, and Obligations (Attachment B) in February 2018 to include annual reporting requirements to the Board of Supervisors. The updates to the policy at that time were completed in order to comply with additional obligations required by Senate Bill 1029 requiring various elements be part of a debt policy and to comply with best practices published by the Government Finance Officer's Association (GFOA).
The reporting requirements in the policy include reporting on the outstanding debts by categories, long-term obligations and solutions, and debt load expressed through various financial ratios. These financial ratios are closely reviewed prior to new or additional debt issuances to ensure debt levels remain within these prescribed tolerances. The ratios are set in order to help promote good fiscal management and aid in obtaining strong credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations.
The Treasury and Revenues Division of Financial Services has summarized the reporting requirements in Attachment A (2019 Annual Debt Report) in accordance with the policy requirements. Overall the report concludes that the County had approximately $50.7 million in outstanding debt related items as of June 30, 2019 but that the County remains in compliance with policy for financial ratios and is in compliance with Annual Debt Compliance and covenants specified in County debt documents.
The report also shares that the recently adopted 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan for the County contemplates the potential use of debt for upcoming capital project needs, including the 2019 Solid Waste Revenue Bonds, 2020 Trane Energy Financing, and 2020 Capital Improvement Bonds (including Gonzales Building Acquisition), but that the current interest rate environment has stabilized and is favorable when viewed compared to historical long-term interest rates. |
