FY2024 Proposed Budget

DEBT SERVICE FUND This fund accounts for annual principal and interest payments due on the City’s general obligation and tax increment revenue bonded debt. Funding is provided by the debt service property tax levy, tax increment financing, and loan repayments. Chapter 384.4 of the Iowa State Code provides legal authority for a city to establish a debt service fund and certify taxes to be levied in the amount necessary to pay for the principal and interest on general obligation bonds issued by the city. The debt service levy rate for fiscal year 2023 is $2.478 per $1,000 in valuation. There is no change from the fiscal year 2024 levy rate.

The schedule of annual principal and interest payments as of June 30, 2022 is as follows:
