NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) <br /> <br />B. Descriptions of Long-Term Debt <br /> <br />Tax Increment Bonds - These bonds are issued for redevelopment and economic development <br />projects. The additional tax revenue resulting from increased assessed valuation of the properties <br />is the major source of revenue used to retire the related debt. The Tax Increment Bonds, Series <br />1999A will be funded by operating rental income from the Senior Housing Project if sufficient, <br />with tax increments being pledged as the second source of funding. <br /> <br />Tax Increment Refunding Bonds Series 2003B - In July 2003, the City issued refunding bonds <br />totaling $1,285,000. The proceeds of this issue were placed in a restricted account from which <br />future debt service payments will be made on the City's Tax Increment Bonds Series 1995A on <br />February 1, 2005, the call date of the refunded issue. Until the call date, the City will continue to <br />make all debt service payments on the 1995 issue. On February 1, 2005, the restricted account <br />will be used to call the remaining principal of the 1995 issue, and the City will assume the <br />principal and interest payments on the 2003 issue. This "crossover refunding" reduced the City's <br />total future debt service payments by $69,884 and resulted in a present value savings of $63,715. <br /> <br />Capital Improvement Refunding Bonds Series 2004A - In November 2004, the City issued <br />refunding bonds totaling $1,480,000. The proceeds of this issue were used to call in advance the <br />remaining principal of the 1999A Lease Revenue Bonds and the City will assume the principal <br />and interest payments on the 2004 issue. This refunding reduced the City's total future debt <br />payments by $150,523 and resulted in a present value savings of $98,810. <br /> <br />· Capital Equipment Certificates - These certificates were issued to finance various capital <br /> equipment purchases and will be repaid via ad valorem levies. <br /> <br />Compensated Absences - The liability represents vested benefits earned by Governmental Fund <br />employees through the end of the year which will be paid or used in future periods. The General <br />Fund is the primary fund used to liquidate this liability. <br /> <br />C.
