Council President Yarborough thanked the committee members and Chairman Clark for an outstanding year of committee work dealing with some very tough issues. Committee members also thanked the Chair for his leadership and collegiality. Mr. Clark thanked his committee for their hard work and for successfully shepherding a difficult budget process.

Banking Fund discussion

Council Member Boyer recapped the Special CIP Committee’s work on the Banking Fund and highlighted several issues that need Council policy input. The special committee’s primary concern is that the mechanism of the Banking Fund makes borrowing so easy as to be done almost without thought and without due consideration for the total amount of borrowing being authorized over time and for the debt service load in future years. City Treasurer Joey Greive and debt manager Marc Stickney discussed the debt affordability policy and ratios and how debt factors are viewed and evaluated by the national bond rating agencies. Committee members discussed the need for more regular reporting to the Council on debt levels, project completion progress, and future debt service levels.
