This is to advise that the issue of $5.OM has been tentatively sold at an effective all-inclusive interest rate of 5.34%, subject to the formality of Council approval. As a result, the municipality will incur additional annual debt servicing costs of approximately $650,000 for the next 10 years. The proposed $5.OM issue represents 2001 and prior years projects which are, for the most part, completed and currently need financing. The City s fiscal agent, RBC Dominion Securities/CIBC Wood Gundy, have utilized the current A+ debt rating in marketing the proposed debentures, at the very favorable all-inclusive rate of 5.34%. Market conditions, low interest rates, and the City of Kingston s A+ credit rating have greatly assisted in obtaining a very favourable cost of funds. Council requires the approval of the debenture by-law at this meeting to ensure the sale of the debenture, with a settlement date of August 16,2002. EXISTING POLICY: NIA LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: N/A

This report provides Council with an indication of additional annual debt charges that may be incurred as per the Ministry guidelines.

For 2002, Council approved Capital Budgets totaling $56.3M, of which approximately $1 1.9M (general municipal, fire and wastewater) is to be financed by the issue of long-term debt. Revenues for municipal electrical utilities are not included in the calculation of the Annual Requirement Limit (ARL), in accordance with Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) guidelines. During the year 2002 Capital Budget deliberations, Council was also advised that there remained on the Municipality s books approximately $19.19M of capital expenditures to be financed by long-term debt relating to 2001 and prior years, which had not as of December 31, 2001 been fully expended and/or debentured.

The Annual Repayment Limit is then adjusted by the Municipal Treasurer to reflect financial commitments and/or discharges that occurred in 2001, and which ultimately impact on the January 1,2002 adjusted Annual Debt Repayment Limit. It should be noted that the Municipal Treasurer s adjustments utilize an assumption that debenture issues will be at an effective rate of 6.50% for a period of 10 years. 0 The stated rate of interest and term is utilized for illustration purposes only. The actual rate of interest will fluctuate depending on the markets, whereas the length of the debenture will be based on life expectancy of the asset. 0 The Municipality will be issuing debentures in the summer/fall2002, and based on the decreases in rates over the past several months, it is anticipated that this rate will decrease. The calculation for the City of Kingston s 2002 Adjusted Annual Debt Repayment Limit is as follows: A) Provided bv the Ministry of Affairs and Housing 2000 Net Revenue Fund Revenues 25% of Net Revenue Fund Revenues Less 2000 Net Debt Charges $ ,934 $ 39,260,234 (953 1,932) Unadjusted Annual Repayment Limit $29,728,302
