472 type no smaller than 18 point. The advertisement may not be
473 placed in that portion of the newspaper where legal notices and
474 classified advertisements appear. The advertisement must appear
475 in a newspaper that is published at least 5 days a week unless
476 the only newspaper in the county is published less than 5 days a
477 week. If the advertisement appears in a geographically limited
478 insert of a general circulation newspaper, the insert must be
479 one that is published at least twice a week throughout the local
480 government’s jurisdiction. In lieu of publishing the notice set
481 out in this paragraph, the local government may mail a copy of
482 the notice to each elector residing within the jurisdiction of
483 the local government; and
484 (b) The local government must post on its website in a
485 manner that is easily accessible to the public the information
486 required under subsections (2) and (3), as applicable.
487 (5) This section does not apply to the refinancing or
488 refunding of debt that does not extend the term or increase the
489 outstanding principal amount of the original debt.
490 218.84 Local government debt fiscal responsibility.—
491 (1) It is the public policy of this state to encourage
492 local governments to exercise prudence in authorizing and
493 issuing debt. Before a local government authorizes debt, it must
494 consider its ability to meet its total debt service requirements
495 in light of other demands on the local government’s fiscal
496 resources. Each local government shall perform a debt
497 affordability analysis as set forth in subsection (2), and the
498 governing board shall consider the analysis before approving the
499 issuance of new tax-supported debt.
500 (2) The debt affordability analysis shall, at a minimum,
501 consist of the calculation of the local government’s actual debt
502 affordability ratio for the 5 fiscal years prior to the year the
503 debt is expected to be issued and a projection of the ratio for
504 at least the first 2 fiscal years in which the new debt is
505 expected to be issued. The analysis shall include a comparison
506 of the debt affordability ratio with and without the new debt
507 issuance.
508 (3) The debt affordability ratio for a given fiscal year
509 shall be a ratio:
510 (a) The denominator of which is the total annual revenues
511 available to pay debt service on outstanding tax-supported debt
512 of the local government; and
513 (b) The numerator of which is the total annual debt service
514 for outstanding tax-supported debt of the local government.
515 218.88 Audits.—Audits of financial statements of local
516 governments which are performed by a certified public accountant
517 pursuant to s. 218.39 and submitted to the Auditor General must
518 be accompanied by an affidavit executed by the chair of the
519 governing board of the local government stating that the local
520 government has complied with this part. The affidavit must be
521 filed with the Auditor General, or in the event the local
522 government has not complied with this part, the affidavit shall
523 instead include a description of the noncompliance and
524 corrective action taken by the local government to correct the
525 noncompliance and to prevent such noncompliance in the future.
526 218.89 Local government websites.—If a local government is
527 required under this part to post information on its website, but
528 does not operate an official website, the local government must
529 provide the appropriate county or municipality within which the
530 local government is located the information required to be
531 posted, and each county or municipality shall post the required
532 information on its website.
