Temecula paid off about $78.6 million in debt — including its CalPERS pension obligation — in 4.5 years instead of the planned seven, saving $47.7 million in interest. Staff say it may be the only city in California of its size that's fully debt-free, freeing money for parks and capital projects paid in cash.
