FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: N/A Budget Year: 2014-2015 Amount:
Fund Name: Debt Service Funds and General Fund
Additional Comments:
1) Actual senior bond debt payment schedules are not known during the budget process as actual
issuance of the bond has not taken place; therefore, a budgeted amount is created. Funds are
transferred based on this budgeted amount. This results in budgeted transfers differing from
actual payments. This imbalance is adjusted in future budgets as the actual debt payment
schedule is known and accounted for. This leaves the initial imbalance in need of review and
adjustment.
2) Audit recommendations are to review the actual and budgeted debt payment schedules,
acknowledge differences arising due to the timing of issuance, and adjust accordingly before
each fiscal year end.
