Debt & borrowing monitor

Debt is rising. Payments are currently covered.

The City is borrowing for long-lived projects—not presently missing debt payments. This tracker separates the amount owed, the annual payment burden, planned borrowing, and the assumptions holding the plan together.

Current readWatch — not crisis

Debt and per-resident exposure are climbing; forecast coverage remains positive.

General obligation + certificates of obligation
$296.2Mprincipal outstanding · audited September 30, 2025
$13.8M · +4.9% from FY2024
Debt / taxable property2.37%2.36% one year earlier
Debt per resident$3,439+15.4% year over year

$20.3M refinanced older principal; approximately $36.8M financed new capital work.

Debt Service Fund forecast

Annual payments stay near $33–34 million

Revenue covers plan

Coverage depends on the City's taxable-value growth and tax-rate assumptions. The forecast is a planning scenario, not a guarantee.

Projected Debt Service Fund revenue remains slightly above scheduled expenditures through FY2030.

VerifyReserve near policy floor

A simple FY2025 comparison produces 9.8% versus the City's 10% target. The official policy calculation should be reconciled.

Pressure$43M in identified needs

This is not existing debt. It is the forecast gap if every identified General Fund resource demand were funded.

Traceable by design

Every number leads back to the workbook, report, page, and coverage decision behind it.

Freshness is visible

Missing months, changed files, rejected rows, and collection delays are shown—not buried.

Signals, not accusations

Patterns are framed as questions and context for review, never automated claims of wrongdoing.
