On July 17, 2024, the City of Chanhassen’s bond rating agency, Standard & Poor’s (S&P), once again affirmed Chanhassen’s ‘AAA’ bond rating with a stable outlook, meaning they do not expect the rating to change in the next two years. ‘AAA’ is the highest bond rating available to a municipality. As of July 1, 2024, 27 Minnesota cities, including one other Carver County city, Victoria, shared this highest rating. The bond rating was evaluated as the City prepares to issue $24.25 million in General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan bonds to fund the new City Hall, with Council Chambers and Senior Center. In affirming the bond rating, S&P wrote, “We believe Chanhassen’s very strong budgetary reserves and liquidity sufficiently demonstrate financial flexibility.” S&P cited the following factors in its report: -Affluent residential suburban communities benefit from the broad and diverse Twin Cities economy, which is highlighted by extremely high incomes and robust year-over-year tax base gains. -Strong financial performance, with five consecutive audited general fund surpluses and forecasts for fiscal year 2024 indicating another surplus in line with budget, supporting a very strong reserve position. Weak debt-and-contingent-liability profile, with relatively high net direct debt as a percent of total governmental funds revenue, albeit with low debt service carrying charges. -Strong financial policies and practices under their Financial Management Assessment methodology, highlighted by annually updated capital improvement and long-term financial planning, with a solid institutional framework score.
