In April 2018 the City  authorized the issuance of and sale of Sales Tax  Revenue Refunding
               Bonds, Series 2018 to refund the 2014 issue.  The refund is estimated to reduce the interest rate
               from 5.52% to 4.20% and is estimated to save the City approximately $2,476,583.  This action
               will not extend the term of the bonds, which will be fully retired in 2034.
