DEBT SERVICE BUDGET Local governments traditionally issue debt to pay for capital projects for several reasons. First, the cost of these projects is normally too high to absorb into an annual budget. Second, due to inflationary increases, the cost of delaying a project until it can be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis can approach the costs of financing. Third, financing spreads the cost of the project to future populations who also benefit from the use of the facility or improvement paid for with the borrowed funds. The revenue sources pledged to debt costs are diverse. There are two outstanding "general obligation" bond issues, which are funded through voter-approved property tax levies. Debt service issues from enterprise agencies pledge a specific unique source such as water and sewer charges, or airport rents and landing fees. The County has also issued long-term debt, which pledges other "non-ad valorem revenue" sources including sales taxes, state revenue sharing, interest earnings, and other miscellaneous fees and charges. The Courthouse Bonds utilize non-ad valorem revenue sources as the primary pledge. The total net debt service budget is approximately $73.6 million, which is 18% less than the modified FY18 debt service budget of $858.3 million. The change in debt service is primarily due to the net $86.4 million decrease in the Aviation debt service due to a decrease in reserves and an increase related to Series 219 bonds that will be issued during, and the $7.2 million decrease in debt service attributable to the refunding of the 25 Loan Pool and 21 Courthouse Bonds. The remaining variances in debt service budgets reflect programmed changes in debt service schedules.
