§ 102584 District Short-Term Credit Authority
This law lets a transit district borrow money on a short‑term line of credit, using expected federal grants and other revenues as security, but the loan can’t be bigger than the grant money they expect to get next year.
A city bus system expects to receive $10 million in federal operating grants next year. It needs $5 million now to pay drivers and fuel, so it gets a revolving line of credit and promises the future grant money as collateral.
The district can borrow up to $10 million, uses the grant money as a promise to pay back the loan, and must put any grant cash it receives straight toward paying off the loan before spending it on anything else.
Maximum Indebtedness ≤ Anticipated Federal Grant Revenue for Next Fiscal Year
The district expects $12 million in federal grants next year.
Result: The district may borrow no more than $12,000,000 under the revolving line of credit.
