STATEMENT OF BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS
Charter Section 312(g) requires that the budget provide all essential facts regarding the bonded and other indebtedness of
the City government. Under the California Constitution, the City may issue general obligation bonds subject to the approval
of two-thirds of the voters voting on the bond proposition. An ad valorem tax on real property is levied without limitation as
to rate and amount to pay principal and interest on general obligation bonds. The City may also levy special taxes on real
property based on the size of improvements (rather than assessed valuation) with two-thirds voter approval. These taxes
may secure bonded obligation. The City may issue revenue bonds under the State 1941 Act with approval by 50 percent
plus one of the voters, and under the City Charter, the City may establish its own procedures for issuing revenue bonds.
Under State law, the City may also enter into long-term lease obligations without obtaining voter approval. Lease revenue
bonds and certificates of participation may be issued, which are secured by such lease-purchase agreements. Under
various sections of State law, the City may establish assessment or Mello-Roos districts and issue bonds for infrastructure
improvements. The bonds are secured solely by the properties in the district. The table below summarizes the outstanding
general obligation bonded indebtedness of the City, judgment obligation bonds, lease revenue bonds, certificates of
participation, revenue bonds and special assessment and Mello-Roos districts. .
