recreational facility to be leased to the YCMA.
Background/Discussion
In 2007, the EDA issued $12 million in bonds for the construction of a recreational facility to be leased
to the YCMA. In 2013, the EDA issued $9,685,000 crossover refunding bonds to redeem the Series 2007
Bonds on February 1, 2017,which started showing interest savings in 2017.
As part of the lease agreement,the city levies two-thirds of the bond payments and the YMCA pays the
remaining one-third.
Here is how the calculation is made for the 2020 levy for taxes payable in 2021:
Debt service amount—city portion $489,292
Levy (105% requirement) x 1.05
Total levy for taxes payable 2021 $513,757
Financial Impact
2020 levy for taxes payable in 2021 is $513,757.
