u <br />Appendices — Highlights <br />County Debt Service and Debt Capacity — Based on the Manager's recommended funding, the <br />County's annual debt service as a percent of the General Fund budget would remain under the <br />15% Debt Service Policy throughout the 5 -year CIP period, with the highest percentage in Year <br />4 (FY 2018 -19) at 14.08 %. Given the funding scenarios in the CIP for Years 6 -10, the highest <br />percentage in those years would reach 13.92% in Year 7 (FY 2021 -22). Note: Even though <br />there is new debt assumed in Years 6 -10, it is offset by the retirement of some of the County's <br />existing debt. <br />Water and Sewer Projects Debt Service (to be paid with Article 46 Sales Tax proceeds) — based <br />on the current allocation for debt service for Economic Development initiatives, the accumulated <br />amount of revenue earmarked for debt service is adequate to cover debt service payments <br />through the 5 -year CIP period. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with the presentation <br />of the FY 2015 -20 Capital Investment Plan. It is a long -range financial planning tool with a <br />financial impact in FY 2015 -20, if the first year of the CIP is approved by the Board of County <br />Commissioners with the adoption of the Annual Budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive the presentation of the <br />Manager's Recommended FY 2015 -20 Capital Investment Plan and provide direction to staff in <br />preparation of the April 9, 2015 Budget work session. <br />
