New City Bond Rating - AAA

Posted by Wally Bobkiewicz on Jul 23, 2010 at 2:23 PM in Administrative Services

The City received a new bond rating from Fitch Rating today of “AAA”, Fitch’s highest rating, in advance of the capital improvement bonds we will be selling soon. The City’s previous rating was “AAA”

Fitch's press release has all the details. I will point out the section “Key Rating Driver”:

“--The city's ability to restore financial equilibrium while adequately addressing its severely under-funded pension system especially given the general malaise of the current economic climate.”
