<br />Bonded Debt Capital  Note
<br /> It is not practicable to determine the specific year for payment of long-term compensated absences payable.  For 
<br />governmental activities, compensated absences are liquidated by the General Fund.  For business-type activities, 
<br />compensated absences are liquidated by the Water and Sewer Funds. 
<br /> 
<br />DEFERRED AD VALOREM TAX LEVIES – BONDED DEBT 
<br /> 
<br />All long-term bonded indebtedness is backed by the full faith and credit of the City, including special assessment 
<br />and revenue bond issues.  General Obligation bond issues are financed by ad valorem tax levies and special 
<br />assessment bond issues are partially financed by ad valorem tax levies in addition to special assessments levied 
<br />against the benefiting properties.  When a bond issue to be financed partially or completely by ad valorem tax 
<br />levies is sold, specific annual amounts of such tax levies are stated in the bond resolution and the County 
<br />Auditor is notified and instructed to levy these taxes over the appropriate years.  The future tax levies are subject 
<br />to cancellation when and if the City has provided alternative sources of financing.  The City Council is required 
<br />to levy any additional taxes found necessary for full payment of principal and interest. 
<br /> 
<br />The future scheduled tax levies are not shown as assets in the accompanying financial statements.  Future 
<br />scheduled tax levies for all bonds outstanding at December 31, 2017 totaled $13,005,401.
