Draft Plan of Finance 2013-2017 
Each year at the end of the budget process, staff provides a
summary five-year Port-wide capital funding plan (The Draft Plan of
Finance). The 2013-2017 Plan is based on: 
Division capital improvement plans (CIPs) 
Division operating budgets 
Airport is a self-funding operation 
Seaport operating income supports its CIP 
Real Estate is supported by the tax levy 
A Draft Plan of Finance was presented on October 23, 2012 
This presentation provides a update of that Plan to reflect
changes in business assumptions

Debt Service Coverage 
The Plan is developed to adhere to the Port's financial
management policies for prudent cash reserves and
leverage 
Operating funds maintain a minimum of 9 months O&M: 
6 months operating & maintenance (O&M) expenses in the general fund 
10 months O&M expenses in the airport development fund 
Maximum 75% of tax levy used to pay General Obligation bonds
debt service 
Net income provides Revenue bonds coverage of: 
1.50x debt service for Seaport debt 
1.25  1.30x debt service for Airport debt 
The Port's forecast of aggregate coverage in excess of 1.40x supports
strong credit ratings 
Tax levy is sufficient to fund levy planned levy uses
