The diverse nature of the type of debt included in the same fund type requires careful analysis to
<br />determine the adequacy of the fund balance and projected fund balance. The following schedule
<br />extracts information from Exhibits 2 and 3 of the 2006 Annual Financial Report to assist in this analysis.
<br />The following schedule compares outstanding debt with assets pledged for debt retirement. This
<br />comparison provides a means to judge (at least on a preliminary basis) the financial position of each
<br />individual debt service fund.

<br />Note: Deferred revenue in the above table does not include the future scheduled "interest portion" of the
<br />adopted assessment rolls. The 2004A Improvement Bonds also include a pledge from the Area and
<br />Unit Fund that has not been included above.
<br />The above table provides a means for the monitoring the status of the debt service funds. For the
<br />General Debt funded solely by property taxes, it appears that there are adequate planned levies to retire
<br />the debt when the future lease revenues scheduled to be received from the school district are included.
<br />While in total the City has a surplus of total resources available over remaining scheduled debt service
<br />based on the calculation above, certain individual funds are operating at a deficit. These deficits will
<br />need to be funded by future adopted assessment rolls, special assessment levies, investment earnings,
<br />transfers from other funds, property taxes or other available means.
<br />Factors to consider when analyzing debt service funds:
<br />• Are all the anticipated assessment rolls being adopted as soon as appropriate?
<br />• Have all the planned financing sources been identified, such as pledged amounts from the area and
<br />unit fund or future MSA funds?
<br />• Are there significant "prepayments" received from property owners? In the current investment
<br />environment, will the earnings the City will receive on these prepayments be lower than the interest
<br />rate that was being charged on the adopted assessment roll?
<br />The Area & Unit Fund is committed to the debt service of some special assessment bonds as well as
<br />toward the water revenue bonds. The City's five -year operating plan addresses the above issues and
<br />therefore, this comment is simplya reminder of the extent that repayment of certain debt is based on
<br />pledged sources from the Area and Unit fund.
