General Fund Cash Flow Borrowing

Current and Prior Year Experience

Due to the timing difference between receipts and expenditures, the Controller
annually requests issuance of Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN) to
ensure that the General Fund has sufficient cash to cover expenditures during
the first half of the fiscal year. The Controller also has the ability to initiate
Reserve Fund and interfund borrowing during the year for cash flow purposes.
Exhibit 6 illustrates cash flow borrowings for 2012-13 through 2021-22.

Notes:
(1) Short term borrowing until Property Tax receipts were received.

Annually, the Controller estimates an amount of borrowing needed to meet
City short-term cash flow requirements in the first half of the next fiscal year.
The Controller’s Office will work with the Mayor and City Administrative Officer
(CAO), as in prior years, to determine the amount of borrowing required as
better information becomes available. The cash flow borrowing requirement
in 2022-23 will likely be between $450 and $550 million.
