Annual Debt Transparency Report Summary for Reporting Year 2018-19Jeff Field, Data Collection and Analysis Unit
Government Code section 8855(k)(1) states that a public agency, whether state or local, shall submit an annual report for any issue of debt for which they have sub-mitted a report of final sale (RFS) on or after January 21, 2017 to the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commis-sion (CDIAC).1 To facilitate receipt of this data, CDIAC developed the Annual Debt Transparency Report (ADTR). The deadline for the annual filings of ADTRs is January 31st – seven months after the close of a reporting period defined as July 1st through June 30th. For reporting year (RY) 2018-19, all reports were due on January 31, 2020.
There are three main categories of infor-mation that are the subject of the report-ing requirements.
1. DEBT AUTHORIZATION. debt autho-rized at the beginning of the reporting period, debt authorized and issued during the reporting period and debt authorized but unissued at the end of the reporting period;
2. DEBT OUTSTANDING. principal bal-ance at the beginning of the report-ing period, principal paid during the reporting period, and principal out-
standing at the end of the report-ing period; and
3. USE OF PROCEEDS. proceeds available at the beginning of the reporting period, the amount of proceeds spent during the re-porting period and the purpose for which they were spent, and proceeds remaining at the end of the reporting period.
Since the initial reporting period was truncated due to the date that the statute took effect, the RY 2018-19 (7/1/2018 through 6/30/2019) reporting period was the second full-year of reporting.
DETERMINATION OF REQUIREMENT TO FILE
In order to determine which issu-ers were required to file an ADTR, the issue must meet the following two criteria:
1. SUBMITTAL OF THE RFS. The RFS was submitted to CDIAC on or after January 21, 2017 and2;
2. ACTUAL SALE DATE. The debt for which the RFS was submit-ted was outstanding in the re-porting period.3
CDIAC uses the settlement date as reported by the issuer on the RFS to determine the first report-ing period in which the issue is outstanding. An ADTR is due to CDIAC seven months after the close of the reporting period in which the issued settled.
1 Senate Bill 1029 (Chapter 307, Statutes of 2016).2 Government Code section 8855(k)(1).3 Government Code section 8855(k)(2).
3JULY 2020
Using this criteria, CDIAC identified 7,639 issues as “ADTR reportable” for the RY 2018-19 and due by January 31, 2020. As of June 15, 2020, 3,704 ADTRs, 49 percent of the reportable issues have been filed for the RY 2018-19. Of those filed reports, 98 percent were received on time, while the re-maining 2 percent (78 reports) were filed after the deadline.4
COMPLIANCE
For the RY 2018-19 reporting peri-od, Joint Powers Agencies/Authorities (JPAs), county government, and K-12 school districts had the largest number of reportable issues. The State of Cal-ifornia (99.6%), city/county govern-ment (98%), and community facilities districts (97.4%) had the highest per-centages of compliance. (Figure 1)
Examining ADTR filing data by type of debt issued provides additional insight. Compliance was highest for commercial paper – most of which was issued by the State of California. The ADTR compliance percentage for general obligation bonds and lim-ited tax obligation bonds (issued by Mello-Roos districts) was also high. (Figure 2)
RY 2018-19 ADTR DATA (AS REPORTED TO CDIAC)
Debt Authorization
The ADTR reporting form was ex-panded in RY 2017-18 to more com-prehensively capture data about an agency’s authorization to issue debt. The CDIAC database was augmented with additional tables to track autho-rized-but-unissued debt from year to year. The data continues to show the large role non-voter-authorized debt
4 CDIAC’s online ADTR submittal system will accept filings at any time.

contributes to the overall picture of California public finance.
For long-term debt sold by local agencies during the RY 2018-19, 1,758 issues were authorized by a resolution or similar action of the issuing agency’s governing body, and 848 issues were authorized by vot-er-approved ballot measure or prop-osition. (Figures 3 & 4)
Resolutions of governing bodies that authorize debt are often single-purpose with a not-to-exceed amount, which is at or close to the expected cost for a single project or purpose. Once the project is completed, any amount re-maining on its authorization lapses and any future issuance for a similar purpose requires a subsequent separate
resolution. Conversely, voter-approved bond measures often set much higher not-to-exceed amounts, with the ex-pectation that the agency will issue sev-eral times across several years pursuant to the same authorizing measure.
Principal Debt Outstanding
The ADTR is designed to track issuers’ outstanding principal debt from year to year in a “running total” configuration. This year’s round of ADTR reporting contained issues sold in RYs 2016-17 and 2017-18 as well as 2018-19. Since deals are often structured such that there are no principal payments due for the first year or two of the life of the is-sue, much of the principal payment re-ported was for debt sold in RY 2016-17.

K-12 school districts reported the most principal debt outstanding as of the close of the reporting period, fol-lowed by the State of California and its associated departments and issuing authorities. (Figure 5)
USE OF DEBT PROCEEDS AND TYPES OF EXPENDITURE
ADTR filers reported $100.8 billion in total available debt proceeds as of July 1, 2018. Unlike the prior fiscal year, local, and not state, issuers ac-counted for the largest share of these proceeds – almost 76 percent of the total. Of the $100.8 billion in avail-able proceeds, $54.8 billion was re-ported as spent. (Figure 6)
A further breakdown of proceeds ex-penditure for local agencies shows K-12 school districts accounted for the larg-est share among agency types, followed by city governments and joint powers authorities. (Figure 7)
SB 1029 not only requires issuers to report on an annual basis the amount of available proceeds they have on hand, but also the purposes to which those proceeds are applied. The expense descriptions provided

by filers are often unique to their expenditures and projects and there-fore difficult to categorize. However, filers are also required to report the allocation of bond proceeds to spe-cific fund categories from which they report specific expenses. CDIAC is able to analyze reported expendi-tures from this fund category level. Filers reported the vast majority of proceeds as allocated to fund con-struction projects and capital im-provements, or deposited into re-funding escrow accounts.
Roughly 35 percent of ADTR-report-able issuance (by principal amount) is considered “refunding” issuance, in which the proceeds are primarily applied to defease, redeem, pay off or otherwise refinance prior debt. In many cases, these issues are of the “advance refunding” type, in which proceeds are deposited into an escrow fund to accrue interest, or are other-wise invested, until such time as they are applied to the redemption of the prior bonds or other debt. Sometimes the date upon which the redemption occurs is as many as five years after the date of the refunding issue.
7JULY 2020
Refunding proceeds are reported as spent the date they are applied to the redeem the prior debt. Therefore, un-spent refunding proceeds usually in-dicates advance refunding. A review of proceeds available versus those spent revealed that the State of Cal-ifornia and its affiliated issuing de-partments, agencies, and authorities spent the most available proceeds – in terms of volume and percentage of available – on refunding. (Figure 8)
Public agencies issue debt to finance capital projects such as road construc-tion and maintenance, utilities and
other infrastructure, water and sewer facilities, schools, and housing and residential projects. K-12 school dis-tricts had by far the greatest amount of proceeds available to spend on capital expenditures for RY 2018-19. School districts allocated almost 25% more for capital project expenditure than did the State of California and its affiliated agencies combined. (Figure 9)
Apart from proceeds allocated for fi-nancing capital projects and refund-ing prior debt, issuers used funds to pay issuance costs and for other purposes common to debt structure,
such as the establishment of debt ser-vice reserve funds and to fund capi-talized interest.
Most filers reported issuance costs which include fees that are paid to le-gal counsel, financial consultants, in-surers, placement and escrow agents, and other service providers. These pay-ments are made upon the closing of the sale of the debt. With this in mind, when the use of proceeds for purposes other than refunding or construction is examined, those proceeds reported as spent can be understood as applied to issuance costs. Conversely, proceeds assigned to capitalized interest and debt service reserve are deposited into “set-aside” accounts, where they gen-erally remain for a period of years, if not the life of the issue. Again, K-12 school districts reported the most pro-ceeds allocated to these other purpos-es, as well as the most proceeds spent for such. (Figure 10)
While issuance costs accounted for a small percentage of overall proceeds expended, Community Facilities (Mello-Roos) Districts, reported pay-ing a much higher share of their total proceeds – almost 5 percent – than any other agency type. Other agency types reporting issuance costs aver-aged 1.5 percent of proceeds spent for that purpose.
CDIAC relies on the accuracy of the information submitted on its reports to analyze issuance trends for Califor-nia public issuers. During receipt and processing of the ADTRs, CDIAC staff logged feedback from report fil-ers regarding the online filing form’s reliability and ease of use, as well as questions and concerns related to ter-minology and concepts raised by the report. This information will be used going forward in the continuing re-finement of the ADTR’s design and

scope. The goal is to develop an active dataset which provides the municipal finance community and the public with a timely picture of California’s debt burden.
Complete ADTR data for all report-ing years is available through the California State Treasurer’s online data portal DebtWatch, at www.
debtwatch.treasurer.ca.gov. The data available through DebtWatch includes raw data as well as a format-ted report for every issue of debt for which an ADTR has been submit-ted. The formatted report, available in any tabular view of data within DebtWatch, provides a year-to-year balance of debt authorization, prin-cipal, and expenditures, including the specific descriptions of how bond proceeds were spent.

Mello-Roos and Marks-Roos Reporting Requirements
Issuers of Mello-Roos and Marks-Roos bonds with debt outstanding are required by statute to report certain information to the California Debt and Investment Ad-visory Commission (CDIAC). Described in this article are the annual and periodic reporting requirements for issuers of these types of bonds.
YEARLY FISCAL STATUS REPORTS (YFSRs)
MELLO-ROOS. Community Facilities Dis-tricts (CFDs) issuing under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts Act on or af-ter January 1, 1993 are required to annually file with CDIAC no later than October 30th a Yearly Fiscal Status Report (YFSR).1
The 2019-20 YSFR report covers Mel-lo-Roos bonds that were issued on or after January 1, 1993 through June 30, 2020 and contains specific information on each financing, including fund balances, as-sessed values, tax collection and reported delinquencies which includes the number of parcels that are delinquent with respect to their special tax payments, the amount that each parcel is delinquent, the total amount of special taxes due on the de-linquent parcels, the length of time that each has been delinquent as of the latest equalized tax roll within the reporting year. The online submittal system will be modified to accept an uploaded. Issuers are required to file the annual Mello-Roos YFSR until the bonds have matured or been redeemed
MARKS-ROOS. Bonds which were issued under the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act on or after January 1, 1996, and which used the bonds proceeds to acquire local ob-ligations or transferred to a Local Obligor under the terms of a debt contract between the Authority and Local Obligor, are re-quired to annually file an Marks-Roos YFSR with CDIAC no later than October 30th.2
The 2019-20 report covers bonds issued on or after January 1, 1996 through June 30, 2020. Information contained in the report includes the principal amount of bonds outstanding for the authority bonds, and local obligations purchased with Marks-Roos bond proceeds, reserve fund balance, and administrative fees paid and collected. Annual Marks-Roos re-porting is also required until the bonds have matured or been redeemed.
To facilitate this mandatory reporting, CDIAC has developed a YFSR for each type of bond. These reports may be sub-mitted electronically using CDIAC’s online reports. The Data Collection and Analysis Unit (Data Unit) sends e-mails as courtesy reminders annually by August 31st to all is-suers of Mello-Roos and Marks-Roos bonds identified in the CDIAC debt issuance da-tabase. This reminder contains the CDIAC Number and password needed to access online filing. Guidelines for completing the reports are available on CDIAC’s website.3
DRAW-ON-RESERVE AND DEFAULTS
Issuers of both Mello-Roos and Marks-Roos bonds are also required to report any defaults or draws on reserve to CDIAC.4 Notification to CDIAC must occur within ten days of the default or draw on reserve. Unlike the YFSR, reporting of a default or draw on reserve applies to all Mello-Roos and Marks-Roos bonds regardless of issuance date.
MELLO-ROOS issuers are required to report either:
• A failure to pay principal and interest on a scheduled payment date, or
• A withdrawal from a reserve fund to pay principal and interest on the bond, if the withdrawal reduces the reserve fund be-low the required reserve amount.
MARKS-ROOS authorities are required to report either:
• A failure to pay principal and interest on a scheduled payment date, or
• A withdrawal from a reserve fund to pay principal and interest on bonds issued by the authority or any bonds acquired by the authority, if the withdrawal reduces the reserve fund below the required re-serve amount.
Although not statutorily required, CDIAC issuers may voluntarily report to CDIAC the replenishment of reserve funds, as well.
CDIAC developed the Mello-Roos/Marks-Roos Draw on Reserve/Default Filing Form to facilitate reporting. All draws on reserve and/or defaults and replenishments may be filed using our online form, which can be accessed using the issue’s CDIAC ber and password.
Access to the online reporting portal and all reporting forms, instructions and reporting requirements, are available on the CDIAC website under “Reporting Debt Issuance” at www.treasurer.ca.gov/cdiac/reporting.asp.
Requests for filing assistance or additional information can be made by email to the Data Unit at [email protected] or by contacting the Data Unit at (916) 653-3269. DL

Voluntary Disclosure of COVID-19 in the Municipal MarketKelly Joy, Policy Research Unit
The fiscal uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic has issuers in the municipal mar-ket reviewing their continuing disclosure obligations to determine what they need to disclose. In May, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released new guidance, The Importance of Disclosure for our Municipal Markets, which encouraged issuers of municipal securities to provide investors with as much information as prac-ticable regarding their current financial and operating status.1 In addition, the Govern-ment Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has also encouraged issuers to voluntarily disclose effects of COVID-19 and plans to release additional guidance on voluntary disclosure for its members.2
Since the beginning of the pandemic, many issuers have opted to publish vol-untary disclosures about the projected ef-fects of COVID-19 on their entities to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s (MSRB) Electronic Municipal Market Ac-cess (EMMA) system. In April, the MSRB began publishing weekly summaries of state and local disclosures submitted to EMMA about the impacts of COVID-19.3 Through June 28, over 5,700 continuing disclosure documents related to COVID-19 have been posted to EMMA, over 1,800 of which have been voluntary disclosures. Figure 1 reflects the geographic breakdown of the COVID-19 related continuing disclosures made to EMMA.
CDIAC research staff reviewed the COVID-19 related disclosures made by California public agencies to EMMA to explore trends for voluntary disclosure of effects of COVID-19 in the municipal mar-ket.4 In addition, this article also discusses takeaways from recent guidance on strate-gies for issuers when disclosing the impacts of COVID-19 on their agencies.5
TRENDS IN VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF EFFECTS RELATED TO COVID-19
California currently has one of the highest number of continuing disclosure filings re-lated to COVID-19. (Figure 1) In February, there was one rating change and zero vol-untary disclosures from California issuers
related to COVID-19. As of June 28, there were 67 rating or outlook change and more than 120 voluntary disclosures related to COVID-19 from public agencies in Cali-fornia. (See Figure 2.)
CDIAC’s review of these disclosures found that content and format varied widely. Some disclosures are tailored as a statement to the investor community, while others are postings of publicly-available information such as public presentations or official com-munications on the financial condition of the agency. The voluntary disclosure docu-ments posted on EMMA often list risks to the agency due to fallout from COVID-19. Risks vary by sector, but some of the most common risks listed include a loss of reve-nue, an expected decrease in state funding,

general economic uncertainty, and un-known effects to the entity that are difficult to forecast.
Issuers have not exclusively used these postings to EMMA to disclose risks. Many agencies have included discussions of response strategies that the agencies have employed to mitigate the ramifi-cations of COVID-19. Some agencies have used voluntarily disclosure through EMMA as a way to communicate how they expect their agencies to remain fi-nancially resilient despite concerns related to COVID-19. For example, some issuers have posted voluntary disclosures assuring the investor community that repayment of bond proceeds is from revenue sources that are not expected to be significantly affected by consequences of COVID-19. Some agencies that rely on unit occupan-cy for revenue have posted voluntary dis-closures that occupancy rates and/or the collection of rental payments remain high in spite of the pandemic.
Most of the voluntary disclosures posted to EMMA are labelled as “Other Event Volun-tary Information.” This category is now the largest sub-category for all event-based con-tinuing disclosure filings on EMMA related to COVID-19. (See Figure 3.)
Over 90 percent of these event-based filings have been made since April. Thus far, only a small percentage of issuers have filed a con-tinuing disclosure with EMMA in response to the pandemic,6 so the number of filings may continue to increase.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM RECENT GUIDANCE
Although voluntary disclosure has become a more common practice in the wake of COVID-19, many issuers are grappling with a “paralysis” about what and how to disclose relevant effects on their agencies’ operations.7 For example, disclosure during the pandemic has called for a more forward-looking fore-

cast of the agency as opposed to a more tradi-tional approach to disclosure that is based on past events and trends.
In CDIAC’s webinar, “Navigating Investor Disclosures During the COVID-19 Crisis,” Daniel Deaton from Nixon Peabody LLP and Brooke Abola from the Office of the San Francisco City Attorney provided sev-eral examples of information that, in many cases, issuers already know that are also of interest to the investor community.8 Cur-rent information such as liquidity levels, amounts in reserve accounts, “burn rates” of cash on hand, and revenue projections are examples of financial indicators that in-vestors would find useful. An agency may also have entity-specific indicators, such as ridership levels that are comparable to data from a period prior to the pandemic. Differ-ences in these indicators can give investors insight about expected changes in revenue and/or consumer behavior. Investors are also interested in qualitative information regarding management decisions and re-sponse strategies employed by an agency, which can inform investors of an agency’s governance. Many of these suggestions are also endorsed in a recent research brief from Kroll Bond Rating Agency which noted: “At this point in the crisis, market partic-ipants are clamoring for specific, factual information including contingency plans, liquidity levels, cost-saving measures, efforts to sustain operational readiness, the timing and amount of federal, state and local aid (if known), and the availability of other re-source options to address the economic and fiscal impacts of the pandemic.” Guidance from the SEC released in May recommends
similar examples to include in voluntary (or supplementary) disclosures: sources of li-quidity, availability of aid from governmen-tal sources, the impact of COVID-19 on the financial condition of the issuer, and rel-evant reports prepared for other purposes.10
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE
In addition to expenses in staff time and fi-nancial resources, one of the most fundamen-tal considerations when making a voluntary disclosure is legal liability. The recent SEC statement from May 2020 explicitly endors-es voluntary disclosures of “forward-looking information regarding the potential future impact of COVID-19 on [issuers’] financial and operating conditions.” The new empha-sis on disclosing forward-looking forecasts as opposed to information based on past trends can be daunting for issuers worried about po-tential liability in the case where those fore-casts are incorrect. In its recent statement, the SEC assured issuers that they would not be subject to enforcement actions if their fore-casts proved to be inaccurate: “We would not expect good-faith attempts to provide appro-priately framed current and/or forward-look-ing information to be second guessed by the SEC.” Issuers also do not need to be con-cerned about investor expectations to update the voluntary disclosure they provide as long as there is a legal disclaimer in the disclosure that makes that clear.13
Although additional disclosure can come at an expense to the issuer, there can also be sev-eral benefits. For example, strong disclosure practices can lower an issuer’s future borrow-
ing costs through lower interest rates.14 At minimum, voluntary disclosure is a signal to the investor community that the issuer is being responsive and that there is an open channel of communication about relevant updates. Voluntary disclosure is also a strategy that issuers can use to control the messaging about their agency’s financial condition to the investor community.15 As was shown in 2013 with the City of Harrisburg, the SEC can take enforcement action against an issuer for misleading public statements in the ab-sence of timely disclosure made to investors.16 Statements made in public documents or by agency officials are technically subject to the same anti-fraud regulations as disclosure doc-uments; however, regulators are less likely to hold those sources to that same standard if the issuer has appropriate channels of communi-cation with the investor community.17 Other-wise, there is legal precedent for enforcement actions against issuers for material misstate-ments made in public documents, even if the agency intended to use those communica-tions for a separate purpose.18
Issuers intending to publish a voluntary dis-closure should work with disclosure counsel and ensure that the content of all disclosures comply fully with SEC Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For addi-tional resources related to COVID-19, issu-ers can refer to the COVID-19 Municipal Debt
Resources webpage on CDIAC’s website. CDIAC has also created a COVID-19 Dis-
closure Dashboard that tracks COVID-19 related continuing disclosures made by Cal-ifornia public agencies to EMMA and is up-dated as new data is made available.
