Debt OverviewAugust 25, 2014
City of Bettendorf
2
I. What is City Debt?
3
The City issues debt or borrows money to finance capital projects or equipment that cannot be paid for immediately with cash on hand.
Examples may include: Infrastructure projects including: new and
replacement streets, bridges, bike paths Traffic Signals Sanitary and Stormwater projects Municipal Facilities, major remodeling projects, salt
dome Land purchases Fire trucks, garbage trucks
NOT borrowing for day-to-day operating costs like payroll

Two types of debt a City can issue:
Municipal Bonds: Bonds issued by a city or other local governments, or
their agencies for a period of time typically up to 20 years (30 years for disaster recovery, etc.). Bonds are usually issued to finance large public capital projects over a longer term.
Loan Agreements and Capital Loan Notes: Allowed by law, these are treated much the same way as
bonds, but look similar to the type of process a consumer would use in borrowing money. Loan agreements are often used to finance public capital projects with a shorter term and are privately placed, rather than bid.
The purposes for which a government may borrow are listed in Chapter 384 of the State Code
5
Two Types of Municipal Bonds:
1) General Obligation Bonds:Bonds for Essential Corporate purposes – such as infrastructure
projects for new street paving, repair or replacement; traffic signals, sanitary sewers, etc. No election required.
Bonds for General Corporate purposes – such as acquisition and development of park land and construction of municipal facilities. Council has authority to issue up to $700,000 without an election. To issue bonds greater than $700,000 requires an election with
60% voting in favor.G.O. Bonds are typically paid through the Debt Levy but may be funded from a revenue stream such as Sewer Fees, Garbage Fees, Stormwater Fees, Gaming revenue, etc. However, the bonds are guaranteed by the “full faith and credit” of the city, if the revenue stream falters. That is, the city guarantees they will be paid.
6
Two Types of Municipal Bonds, con’t:
2) Revenue Bonds: Revenue bonds can be either for essential or general
corporate purpose Paid ONLY by identifiable revenue streams such as
Sanitary Sewer Fees, Stormwater fees, Garbage fees, 1 cent local option sales tax, gaming revenue, tax increment revenues, etc (not property tax levy)
Revenue bonds do not count against the City’s 5% debt limitation as they are NOT guaranteed to be paid by the City.
As a result of the no guarantee of payment, interest rates on revenue bonds are generally higher, require reserves, and coverage ratios. Overall, revenue bonds are more expensive than General Obligation Bonds.

II. What is the Legal Debt Limit and Bettendorf’s debt
level?
8
What is the legal debt limit for Cities in Iowa?
• Under the Iowa Constitution, a city can issue General Obligation debt, in a total amount, up to 5% of total assessed valuation. (100% assessed valuation) . There is no levy cap on debt service, the limit is on the amount of debt.
Revenue bonds do not count against the 5% cap as they are not guaranteed to be paid by the City.
EXCEPT, tax increment revenue bonds and annual TIF rebates, by decision of the Iowa Supreme Court, must also be included when looking at the 5% limitation even though they are a revenue bond; no other revenue bonds count towards the 5% cap.
9
What is Bettendorf’s legal debt limit?
For FY 2014/15 the City’s legal MAXIMUM debt limit totals $160,050,504.
The City will have outstanding debt totaling $119,605,000 against that maximum limit at June 30, 2015, equating to 74.73% - (Commonly referred to as Legal Debt Margin Used).
The City has the legal capacity to issue an additional $40,445,504, if needed.

III. How did our Legal Debt Margin get to the level it is?
13
Prior to FY 08/09 our legal debt margin had been in the 50% plus range
1) August 2008 - Issued $13.8 Million TIF bonds for Waterfront Convention Center
2) FY 09/10 – Planned decision by Council to issue G.O. Bonds for Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater projects vs. Revenue Bonds
Provided significant lower interest rates than Revenue Bonds – keeping user fees low
Did not require the City to set a side costly capital reserve accounts or maintain revenue coverage ratios of 115% - 140% of principal and interest payments
14
3) FY 09/10 – Increased Debt Levy $0.50 from $4.50 to $5.00. $0.50 was crossed over, reducing the operating levy
when dispatch was consolidated at SECC. Original plan was to keep Debt Levy at $5.00/$1,000
assessed value for 10 years. Timing of increasing the Debt Levy was perfect with
market conditions as:Interest rates were at record lows:
Borrowed money has been relatively cheap – (2.56% -4.41% True Interest Costs last 5 years, 6/1/14 3.27% )
Council has endless list of projects to complete – so it’s been an excellent time to borrow
Bidding on Projects was very Competitive: Contractors HUNGRY for business Again, a good time to bond for projects if you need to
Increasing the Debt Levy by $.50 to $5.00 has allowed the Council to complete a record $92M in CIP projects over the last 5 years
15
4) FY 13/14 - Bonding for two years vs. one year to save on issuance costs, inflated debt margin
The following chart illustrates how these four factors contribute to the Debt Margin

How do we compare?
In Summary,
Pleased to report that our overall cost of city services ranks 3rd lowest among the 33 comparable cities.
29
V. Budget FY 15/16: Where do we go from here?
30
As we enter goal setting with LYLE, need 3 decision points from Mayor & Council:
1) Establish future level of debt for the City: Stay the course with the debt levy at $5.00?
FY 14/15 is the sixth of the planned ten years Continue “aggressive” plan of improving arterial streets like Middle Rd Accept that Debt Margin Ratio will continue to be higher than 50% for approximately the next
15 years
Or, determine a reduced “target” debt margin ratio which will drive future available CIP $ Begin reducing $1 Million of annual bonding SKIP one or two years of bonding for CIP Projects EXCEPT patching Refinance Sewer and Stormwater GO bonds with Revenue bonds (more costly)
2) Identify plans for future WOW projects that may require significant bonding and utilize a portion of our available debt margin
I-80 Development Sports Complex New recreational facility/Pool Riverfront Development Project
3) Determine Future Bonding Schedule: Annual vs. 2 year bonding Fall bonding vs. Spring bonding
These three decisions will drive staff’s recommendation on CIP for FY 15/16
