6. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM INTEGRATION The City's multi-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which identifies the projects and the appropriate funding mechanisms to pay for them, shall be used in combination with the Financial and Budget Policies and this Policy to ensure the proper allocation and financing of eligible projects. The CIP and its related policies set priorities and strategies for allocating and tracking funding, while the Debt Policy provides policy direction and limitations for proposed financings. 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BOND The City shall establish all terms and conditions relating to the issuance of bonds, and will control, manage, and invest all bond proceeds. Unless otherwise authorized by the City, the following shall serve as bond requirements. A. Term All capital improvements financed through the issuance of debt will be financed for a period generally not to exceed the average useful life of that which is being financed. At no time will the financing exceed 120% of the expected average useful life of the assets being financed, and in no event should the final maturity exceed the lesser of thirty (30) years or when the revenue source is projected to sunset. B. Capitalized Interest The nature of the City's revenue stream is such that funds are generally continuously available and the use of capitalized interest should not normally be necessary. However, certain types of financings may require the use of capitalized interest from the issuance date until the City has constructive use/ benefit of the financed project. Unless otherwise required, the City will avoid the use of capitalized interest to obviate unnecessarily increasing the bond size. Interest shall not be funded (capitalized) beyond three (3) years or a shorter period when based upon project needs or if further restricted by statute. The City may require that capitalized interest on the initial series of bonds be funded from the proceeds of the bonds. Interest earnings may, at the City's discretion, be applied to extend the term of capitalized interest but in no event beyond 3 years, or less, if restricted by state law. C. Lien Levels Senior and Junior Liens for each revenue source will be utilized in a manner that will maximize the most critical constraint, typically either cost or capacity, thus allowing for the most beneficial use of the revenue source securing the bond. Projects chosen for priority financing, based on funding availability and proposed timing, will generally be subject to the most senior lien of the bond series. D. Maximum Annual Debt Service ("MADS") Concerning revenue bonds, the MADS for any given year must not exceed a level at which the City's net revenues are less than one and a quarter times (1.2Sx) the total debt service within any year unless allowed by existing bond covenants.
