01 · The problem

Most financing decisions are made one project at a time, under deadline. Rate studies often rely on CalPERS numbers that are already a year old. The financing closes and the advisor moves on. Boards approve new debt without seeing how it affects the next project, the reserves, or the rates.

02 · How it works

  1. Your agency shares what it already has: audits, budget, rate study, debt schedule, capital improvement plan, and CalPERS valuations.
  2. CalMuni Advisors builds a 25-year model of your agency’s finances.
  3. Scenarios are tested: project timing and phasing, funding sources, and rate paths.
  4. Your staff and board receive a plain-English summary of the options and trade-offs.
  5. The model is updated as conditions change, so it stays useful after the first decision.

03 · What you get

  • A long-range view of debt capacity, coverage, reserves, and rate pressure.
  • Pension projections based on current CalPERS information.
  • A recommended sequence for your capital projects.
  • Early notice of grant and subsidy deadlines.
  • A board-ready briefing, before any financing is on the table.

04 · What it takes

  • Free CalMuni PFA membership.
  • A separate engagement with CalMuni Advisors, with the fee quoted before you commit.
  • The financial documents your agency already keeps.
