The 10- <br /> year plan includes a total of $596.2 million County funded debt. Although the Board <br /> appropriates funding for projects in the firstyear of the Plan,the CIP is a long-range planning <br /> tool that projects future needs as well as the financial capacity required to meet those <br /> needs. This is done using a debt modeling tool that takes the expenditure amounts and <br /> project timing contained in ten year plan and translates those variables into future debt <br /> service requirements. <br /> This debt model shows the amount of debt service funding that will be needed in the <br /> operating budget each year and monitors compliance with the County's ability to pay that <br /> debt service. The ability to pay is expressed as a percentage of general fund revenue that is <br /> consumed by debt service each year. <br /> • Debt Service Projected Tax Rate Impact <br /> Projected debt service ultimately requires a tax rate equivalent to pay the annual <br /> installments on borrowing. The table below illustrates an incremental tax rate <br /> equivalent that would be required to pay debt service based on the FY2026-36 <br /> recommended project amounts and sequencing. <br /> Fiscal Year Incremental <br /> Tax <br /> 2026-27 2.01 <br /> 2027-28 1.09 <br /> 2028-29 4.58 <br /> 2029-30 1.61 <br /> 2030-31 <br /> 2031-32 <br /> 2032-33 1.48 <br /> Total 10.77 <br /> Page 10 <br />
