<br />Note 15. Conduit Debt Obligation
<br />From time to time, the City has issued Industrial Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to
<br />private-sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities
<br />deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are secured by the propertyfinanced and are pay-
<br />able solely from payments received an the underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the
<br />bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the private-sector entity served by the bond
<br />issuance. Neither the City, the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any man-
<br />nerfor the repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the
<br />accompanying financial statements.
