Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element <br />Projected Debt Capacity <br />Debt Financing, which involves borrowing money using the county's assets as collateral, is one way <br />that the county has provided for its capital facility needs. The primary rationale for providing capital <br />facilities through indebtedness is that it spreads the cost of a facility over its useful life and thus is <br />paid for by those who will use the facility. <br />Table 6.16 provides a summary of the county's estimated ability to raise bonds without a public vote. <br />The county's bonding capacity is identified for 10, 20, and 30 years. As table 6.16 indicates, the <br />county's available bonding capacity for the next 10 years is $152,000,000, with an additional potential <br />of $293,000,000. <br />Table 6.16: Indian River County Estimated bility to Raise Bonds Without A Public Vote <br />Pledge Sources.
