November 15, 2016. Financing for the project consists of $3100,000 from a 4 percent serial bond issue,
$2,600,000 from a state grant, and $2,300,000 from the General Fund. Debt service for the serial bonds will be
provided by a one quarter cent city sales tax imposed on every dollar of sales in the city. The town has a
calendar year end.

fund, and governmental activities at the governmentwide
level. (Do not round intermediate calculations.
