Business-type activities show a decrease of$1,087,223 in capital assets. This decrease is <br /> attributable to depreciation surpassing current year additions causing a reduction in capital assets. Additional <br /> details of capital asset activity for the year can be found in Note 4 of the notes to basic financial statements. <br /> Long-Term Liabilities—The Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources to finance all of <br /> the City's general obligation bonds. The revenue sources for these funds include annual tax levies and special <br /> assessments. At year-end, major debt service fund balance was $725,429 and non-major debt service fund <br /> balance was$996,367 for a total of$1,721,796 in fund balance restricted for debt service. <br /> The following table summarizes the City's long-term liabilities: <br /> 2015 2014 <br /> Governmental Activities <br /> Bonds $ 27,060,000 $ 30,615,000 <br /> Capital equipment certificates 1,310,000 1,450,000 <br /> Compensated absences 777,297 772,779 <br /> Net Pension Liability 4,599,377 - <br /> Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) 459,572 404,555 <br /> Subtotal 34,206,246 33,242,334 <br /> Business-type Activities <br /> Net Pension Liability 408,072 <br /> Total $ 34,614,318 $ 33,242,334 <br /> During the current fiscal year, the City saw a decrease of$3,695,000 in bonds and certificates. The City had <br /> two debt issuances during the current year. The $3,880,000 General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan <br /> Bonds, Series 2015A were issued to finance the construction of Fire Station #2. The Series 2015B, were <br /> $1,205,000 General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds used to finance the road reconstruction of Garnet <br /> Street and 168t1i Avenue. The City's 2012B Residence at the COR bond was paid off early in July 2015 which <br /> was the major contributor for the reduction in bonds and certificates. Even though new personnel was added in <br /> 2015, the compensated absence liability increased only slightly by$4,518 due to the retirement of a few long- <br /> term employees. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) increased $55,017 due to the annual OPEB costs <br /> exceeding contributions as actuarially determined with the parameters of GASB Statement Nos.43 and 45. <br /> 35 <br />
