TITLE: DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Section 1
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance regarding the issuance, management,
continuing evaluation and reporting on all debt obligations issued by Brazos County, Texas
(the "County"). The Brazos County Commissioners', Court recognizes there are no absolute
rules or easy formulas that can substitute for a thorough review of all information affecting
the County's debt position. Debt decisions should be the result of deliberative consideration
of all factors involved. This policy is intended to augment the deliberation process by
addressing the methods, procedures and practices to be utilized to ensure effective and
judicious fiscal management of County funds. Adherence to a debt management policy helps
to ensure that government maintains a sound debt position and that credit quality is protected.
The terms of this Debt Management Policy (the "Policy") are intended to comply with all
Texas and Federal Law governing debt, including, but not limited to, Texas law, Internal
Revenue Service rules and regulations, United States Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") regulations, Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB") regulations, court
rulings, and existing County debt covenants.
1
vol. ; 5X Pg.
1.2 Objectives
It is the intent of the County to establish this debt management policy to:
• Ensure high quality debt management decisions;
• Impose order and discipline in the debt issuance process;
• Promote consistency and continuity in the decision making process;
• Demonstrate a commitment to long-term financial planning objectives, and
• Ensure that the debt management decisions are viewed positively by rating,
agencies, investment community and taxpayers.
Section 2
iYK1]2
2.1 This Policy shall govern debt obligations issued by the County that finance the
construction or acquisition of infrastructure and other assets or to refinance existing debt.
The County may also desire to issue debt obligations on behalf of external agencies,
nonprofit corporations, or other authorities for the purpose of construction or acquisition
of infrastructure or other assets that further the goals and objectives of County
government. In that case, the County shall take reasonable steps to confirm the financial
feasibility of the project and the financing solvency of any necessary borrower; and shall
take all reasonable precautions to ensure the public purpose and financial viability of
such transactions.
Section 3
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 As provided by the Texas Local Government Code, each member of Commissioners'
Court has a fiduciary responsibility in the management of the County's indebtedness. All
debt programs are to be made in accordance with applicable Texas and federal
regulations. The Commissioners' Court will approve all County indebtedness.
3.2 The county auditor and the budget officer of the County have the primary responsibility
for making debt -financing recommendations to the Commissioners' Court.
3.3 The County shall engage external bond counsel for each debt issue to perform all services
customarily provided by any counsel, including providing legal opinion on all debt
issuances, preparation or review of all debt -authorizing resolutions and related documents
and agreements, registering all debt issuances with the Attorney General's Office, etc.
All debt issued by the County includes a written opinion by bond counsel affirming that
the County is authorized to issue the debt and determining the debt's federal income tax
status.

vol. C�-f P9.
3.4 The County shall engage an external financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor") for each
debt issue to provide recommendations (including the type of financing, call, security and
credit enhancement features, term, time and manner of sale, reasonableness of costs, and
other terms and conditions), evaluate at the time of issuance the reasonableness of interest
rates, underwriter fees, financing costs, and other related issues, preparing the official
statement for each bond issuance, and handle all tasks leading to the completion of the
debt issuance. The financial advisor will also coordinate communication with the rating
agencies and potential and existing credit enhancers, recommend the best qualified
underwriters for the negotiated sale of the County's debt. For specific issuances and debt
transactions, the County may engage an expert financial advisor with specialized
knowledge in the specific area being considered. To ensure independence, the financial
advisor neither will bid on nor underwrite any County debt issues.
3.5 The County may utilize paying agents on County indebtedness. The fees and expenses
for servicing outstanding debt are paid from the fiscal agent fee account in the debt
Service Fund.
3.6 The County may periodically select other service providers (e.g. escrow agents,
verification agents, trustees, arbitrage consultants, etc.) as necessary to meet legal
requirements and minimize net County debt costs. These services can include debt
restructuring services and security or escrow purchases. The County may select first(s) to
provide such financial services related to debt without a RFP or RFQ, consistent with
County and State legal requirements.
3.7 The County Auditor and the Budget Officer will coordinate all activities necessary to
issue debt, including, but not limited to:
• Review of resolutions provided by bond counsel;
• Review of offering memoranda provided by financial advisors; and
• Review of all related financial analyses.
3.8 The oversight responsibility for post -issuance compliance is assigned to the County
Auditor. The Office of the County Auditor is responsible for preparing and submitting the

Section 7
STRUCTURE AND TYPE OF DEBT
7.1 Debt service will be structured to match projected cash flows and minimize the impact on
future property tax levies.
7.2 Debt will be structured for the shortest amortization period consistent with a fair
allocation of costs to current and future beneficiaries or users. The term of the debt
issuance should equal the lesser of the useful life of the asset being financed or the
maximum of 40 years in accordance with Chapter 1201.022 of Texas Government Code.
7.3 The types of debt instruments that may be issued by the County include:
a. Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds;
b. Certificates of Obligation;

�
h. Any other debt instrument authorized for issuance by a County in accordance
with the Texas Government Code or other applicable law.
7.4 Principal and interest retirement schedules shall be structured to:
(1) achieve a low borrowing cost for the County;
(2) accommodate the debt service payments of existing debt; and
(3) respond to perceptions of market demand.
Shorter maturities shall always be encouraged to demonstrate to rating agencies that debt
is being retired at a sufficiently rapid pace.
7.5 Optional debt redemption shall be provided for the debt issuance termed at 10 years or
longer. In the event of an optional debt redemption (in full or in any portion of the
principal sum thereof) being called for, the notice of redemption must be given no less
than 30 days to the redemption date to the registered owners of the debt to be redeemed.
7.6 Chapter 1204.006 of Texas Government Code provides that a public security issued by a
governmental entity may not bear interest at a rate greater than a net effective interest rate
of 15 percent.
7.7 Debt incurred shall generally be limited to obligations with serial and term maturities.
7.8 Generally, tax-exempt debt will be issued. However, when appropriate and when the cost
of a project is greater than $5 million, no more than 10 percent of the amount to be
financed may be issued in the form of taxable debt.
Section 8
DEBT LIMITS

bonds that may be issued for certain purposes as follows:
Courthouse Bonds 2.0% of Assessed Valuation
Jail Bonds 1.5% of Assessed Valuation
Vol. _ �.LW P9•
Courthouse and Jail Bonds 3.5% of Assessed Valuation
Road & Bridge Bonds 1.5% of Assessed Valuation
However, courthouse, jail and certain other types of bonds may be issued under the
authority of Section 1473.101 of the Texas Government Code, as amended, which
removes the above limitation,
8.2 Article 8, Section 9, Texas Constitution, imposes a limit of $0.80 per $100 assessed
valuation for all constitutional purposes, including the general fund, permanent
improvement fund, road and bridge fund and jury fund, and debt service of any
outstanding bonds or other obligations issued against such funds. Administratively, the
Attorney General of the State of Texas will permit allocation of $0.40 of the $0.80
constitutional tax rate for debt service.
8.3 The County shall use economic ratios as a tool to assist in providing an objective
analytical approach to determine debt capacity for new projects. These ratios may
include:
a. Debt per capita;
b. Debt as a percent of statutory debt limit;
c. Debt as a percent of appraised valuation;
d. Debt service payments as a percent of governmental expenditures; or
e. Level of overlapping net debt of all local taxing jurisdictions.
8.4 The County will maintain a debt service fund balance of at least 2 percent of the original
debt issuance amount each year to ensure availability of funds to meets the debt service
payments in the event of tax revenue shortfalls; provided; however, that this requirement
shall comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
8.5 Brazos County will strive to maintain the following industry -standard ratios:
1. Net bonded debt to taxable value should not exceed that range of 1.0% - 1.5%.
This ratio measures debt levels against the property tax base which generates the
tax revenues that are the main source of debt repayment.
2. Net bonded debt to population should not exceed $800 per capita. This ratio
measures the burden of debt paced on the size of the population supporting the
debt and is widely used by rating analysts as a measure of an issuer's ability to
repay debt.
3. Debt service to total expenditures (operating expenditures and debt service
combined) shall be less than 20%. This ratio reflects the County's budgetary
flexibility to adapt spending levels and respond to economic condition changes.
4. A total debt target of 8% or less of taxable value for all overlapping debt in
Brazos County (county, city, school district and other) will be established, in
concert with cooperative efforts toward sharing this goal with the other debt -
issuing entities.
