                 The Series 2015A-2, B-2 and C-2 interest rate swap was an e ective hedge under the Dollar-O set Method in  scal year 2017-2018
                 with an inception to-date variance of 82.28%, so the swap is recorded at fair value on the Statement of Net Position as a deferred
                 in ow and a noncurrent liability. No investment gains or losses are recorded for mark-to-market changes for this e ective hedge.

                 Variable Rate Water and Sewer System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2015A-3, Series 2015B-3 and Series 2015C-3 The City
                 entered into a forward starting  oating-to- xed interest rate swap agreement (the “swap agreement”) with Citigroup, Inc. on
                 January 18, 2006, to become e ective on April 19, 2007, with the issuance of $40,000,000 Water and Sewer System Revenue bonds.
                 In August 2015, the City issued variable rate water and sewer system revenue refunding bonds. The net proceeds were used to
                 refund the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2007B. At the same time, the interest rate swap agreement was amended and
                 restated. The 2015 interest rate swap transaction was structured to establish a swap  oating rate equal in all material respects to
                 the  oating rate for the Series 2015 Bonds. The underlying variable index for each of the Series 2015 Bonds and 2015 Swaps is 69%
                 of one-month LIBOR. Therefore, when taken together, the  oating rate on the Series 2015 Bonds, the  oating rate on the 2015
                 Swaps and the  xed rates on the 2015 Swaps will produce a “synthetic”  xed rate. The synthetic  xed rate for the Series 2015 A-3,
                 2015 B-3 and 2015 C-3 is 3.706%.
                 Under the swap agreement e ective August 19, 2015, semi-annually on each June 1 and December 1 the City pays Citigroup, Inc.
                 interest at the  xed rate of 3.706% on the notional amount of the Series 2015A-3, B-3, and C-3 Bonds. On or after August 19, 2015,
                 Citigroup, Inc. pays the City an alternative  oating rate of 69% of the USD-LIBOR-BBA.
                 As of June 30, 2018, the agreement had a negative fair value of $5,333,451. The fair value was developed by Citigroup, Inc. using the
                 zero coupon method. This method calculates the future net settlement payments required by the agreement assuming that the
                 current forward rates implied by the yield curve correctly anticipate future spot interest rates. These payments are then discounted
                 using the spot rates implied by the current yield curve for hypothetical zero-coupon bonds due on the date of each future net
                 settlement on the swap. The City may terminate the swap with 30 days written notice to Citigroup, Inc. Should the City exercise its
                 option to cancel the swap, the City shall have su cient funds to pay any Settlement amount. The fair value of this interest rate swap
                 is categorized as a Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. (Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices
                 available in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be
                 determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.)
