The City of Bingham created a Bond Debt Service Fund to be used to retire the bonds issued for the purposes described in Chapter 5 of this cumulative problem, and to pay the interest on the bonds. The $2,500,000 face value of bonds were issued on January 3, 2023 for $2,516,742. The effective interest rate on the bonds is 1.875% percent per annum. The first interest payment of $25,000 is due July 1, 2023. Subsequent semiannual interest payments will be made January 1 and July 1 of each following year until the maturity of the bond.

Bond covenants related to this bond issue require the city to levy property taxes sufficient to make principal and interest payments until the bonds have been retired.
