Any new debt issuance must not cause the City's debt service to exceed the level at which the net revenues are less than one and a quarter times (1.25x) the maximum annual principal and interest (debt service) for the aggregate outstanding senior lien bonds including the debt service for the new issuance unless allowed by existing bond covenants. F. Debt Service Structure Debt issuance shall be planned to achieve relatively rapid repayment of debt while still matching debt service to the useful life of facilities. The City will amortize its debt within each lien to achieve overall level debt service or may utilize more accelerated repayment schedules after giving consideration to bonding capacity constraints.
