<br />The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of December 31, 2013
<br />amounts to over $113 million (net of accumulated depreciation).
<br />
<br />The governmental activities and business-type activities show a decrease of approximately $2,109,566 and
<br />$349,292 respectively in capital assets. This decrease is attributable to less construction in progress from the
<br />prior year in addition to depreciation surpassing current year additions causing a reduction in capital assets.
<br />Additional details of capital asset activity for the year can be found in Note 4 of the notes to basic financial
<br />statements.
<br />

<br />acquisition of capital equipment. The compensated absence liability increased $58,899 due to increased

<br />annual required contribution as actuarially determined with the parameters of GASB Statement Nos. 43 and 45.

<br />total assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the City is $53,252,703.
