C - 19 City of Pleasanton Operating Budget • FY 2023/24 - FY 2024/25 <br />APPENDIX C <br />D. Maximum Annual Debt Service (“MADS”) <br />Concerning revenue bonds, the MADS for any given year must not exceed a level at which the City’s <br />net revenues are less than one and a quarter times (1.25x) the total debt service within any year unless <br />allowed by existing bond covenants. <br />E. Additional Bonds Test <br />Any new debt issuance must not cause the City’s debt service to exceed the level at which the net <br />revenues are less than one and a quarter times (1.25x) the maximum annual principal and interest <br />(debt service) for the aggregate outstanding senior lien bonds including the debt service for the new <br />issuance unless allowed by existing bond covenants. <br />F. Debt Service Structure <br />Debt issuance shall be planned to achieve relatively rapid repayment of debt while still matching debt <br />service to the useful life of facilities. The City will amortize its debt within each lien to achieve overall <br />level debt service or may utilize more accelerated repayment schedules after giving consideration <br />to bonding capacity constraints. The City shall avoid the use of bullet or balloon maturities except <br />in those instances where these maturities achieve one of the City’s stated goals, such as minimizing <br />annual debt service or leveling annual existing debt service, among others. <br />G. Call Provisions <br />In general, the City’s securities will include a call feature, which is no later than ten (10) years from <br />the date of delivery of the bonds. The City will avoid the sale of non-callable bonds absent careful <br />evaluation by the City with respect to the value of the call option. If the City were to issue taxable <br />bonds, the City will carefully consider the financial impacts of a 10-year call, a make-whole call, or <br />non-callable debt. <br />H. Maximum Repayment Ratio <br />The maximum repayment ratio, where total future debt service payments are divided by the <br />principal of the bonds issued, shall be within three to one for each series of bonds and for each <br />authorization. <br />I. Original Issue Discount & Deep Discount Bonds <br />An original issue discount and deep discount bonds will be permitted only if the City determines that <br />such discount results in a lower true interest cost on the bonds and that the use of an original issue <br />discount or deep discount bonds will not materially reduce the value of the bonds’ call provisions and <br />adversely affect the project identified by the bond documents.
