DEBT MANAGEMENT












       DEBT MANAGEMENT
       The City issues debt for the purposes of financing long-term capital infrastruture as well as short-term projects. The Debt Service Fund is used for the
       accumulation of resources for and the payment of general principal, interest and related costs on debt issued by the City. Types of debt issued include
       general obligation refunding and improvement bonds, combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation, public property finance contractual
       obligations, and sales tax revenue refunding bonds. The City aims to be efficient and financially conservative by strategizing refundings and debt
       structuring.



       OUTSTANDING DEBT
       The City of Grapevine has $197,106,022 in outstanding debt obligations. The use of these funds contributes towards the financing of land purchases,
       vehicle and capital replacements (when sufficient cash is not available), and capital projects to include streets, facilities, water and wastewater systems,
       drainage, IT infrastructure, and parks. As of 2024, the City was issued an AA+ rating from S&P on the most recent issuance of the Combination Tax and
       Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2024, at which time they affirmed this overall rating on all existing general obligation debt. Moody's has
       provided a Aa1 rating. This rating represents the confidence of the City's ability to repay its debt and further lends to achieving lower interest rates on
       future issuances which reduces the overall borrowing costs.
