Page 469 - FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget

The City’s total debt service level for voter and non-voter approved debt shall
not be greater than 15 percent of General Fund revenues. After the $191.5
million, the City has the capacity to issue voter approved debt with an annual
debt service requirement of no more than $434.7 million. Again, assuming
long term debt at five percent interest, this would equate to more than $6
billion in additional voter-approved debt capacity.
