The proceeds are generally invested in U.S. Treasury Securities, which <br />together with earned interest, will provide amounts sufficient for future payment of interest, principal, and <br />redemption premium on the defeased bond in the amount of $27,257,815. The escrow account is not <br />included as assets of the City. The defeased bonds are excluded from the City's long-term obligations <br />because the arrangement satisfies requirements of defeasance. <br />2013 Refunding Lease Revenue Bonds <br />In April 2013, the City issued $8,883,000 principal amount of 2013 Refunding Lease Revenue Bonds (2013 <br />RLRB).

Principal payments are payable annually on December 1. <br />The refunding of the 2003 COPS resulted in a present value of savings of $928,703 of the refunded bonds. <br />63 <br />
