Schedule of Audit Findings and Responses
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
1. The City’s financial condition did not improve putting it at risk of not
meeting financial obligations at current service levels.
Description of Condition
In the past several years, the City’s overall financial condition has declined. In spite of
the City’s efforts to reduce operating expenses, declining revenues and capital project
obligations, its financial condition did not improve during 2011.
The chart below shows the City’s general fund cash balance since 2007:
2007 $293,264
2008 $230,976
2009 $ 915
2010 $ 40,930
2011 $ 32,269
As of August 31, 2012, the general fund cash balance was $326,390.
The City’s General Fund expenditures exceeded revenues in three of the prior five
years, attributing to the decline in ending cash balances:
General Fund 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Revenues $7,347,621 $7,526,444 $7,314,729 $6,479,841 $6,795,477
Expenditures $7,313,793 $7,591,370 $7,508,617 $6,439,660 $6,804,138
Excess (Deficit) $33,828 ($64,926) ($193,888) $40,181 ($8,661)
The City’s long-term debt balance has been increasing since 2007. Fiscal year 2011 is
the first year where it appears to be leveling off:
2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
governmental $7,347,790 $14,520,401 $14,262,174 $17,618,452 $17,676,009
proprietary $6,062,920 $5,253,990 $4,370,463 $3,528,330 $2,911,258
total $13,410,710 $19,774,391 $18,632,637 $21,146,782 $20,587,267
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office

In addition, the City’s utility funds, as proprietary funds, should be self-sufficient. They
have shown regular cash balance deficits over the years since 2008:
2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Beginning
Cash
balances
$4,736,385 $ 4,827,161 $ 7,725,278 $ 6,002,273 $ 4,641,609
Ending Cash
balances
$4,827,161 $ 3,717,555 $ 6,002,805 $ 4,641,609 $ 4,177,754
Change in
Cash Position $ 90,776 $(1,109,606) $(1,722,473) $(1,360,664) $ (463,855)
Cause of Condition
The City has experienced a loss in tax revenues and other financial challenges due to
the downturn in the economy. The City’s steps to cut costs have not been sufficient to
keep pace with the decline in revenues.
Effect of Condition
The City is at risk of not being able to meet financial obligations at current service levels.
This could result in the City needing to obtain bank loans or find other sources of
funding, which may be an additional cost to taxpayers.
Recommendation
We continue to recommend the City:
Establish a formal financial plan to address its cash flow issues and monitor and
evaluate actual results compared to the plan to ensure its financial condition
improves.
Closely monitor and evaluate the financial activities to ensure the plan is being
followed and the desired results achieved. It should revise the plan if expected
improvements are not achieved.
Ensure timely and accurate financial information is provided to the Council in
order to facilitate informed decision making.
Take prompt action to manage operations within available resources.
City’s Response
The Washington State Auditor’s report no. 1006600, for the city of Port Townsend,
Jefferson County for the period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, reported
concerns with the City’s financial condition. As reported, these concerns were evident
by the following: the city’ long-term debt had been increasing since 2006; the city’s
general fund expenditures exceeded revenues in three of the prior five years; and
required fund reserve balances were not met.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office

As recommended in the audit report, the City developed a long-term plan to address its
financial condition. While we recognize that due to the continued poor economic
conditions, it will take longer than just 2011 to turn around these conditions, the city took
strong actions in 2011 and 2012. We believe that Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012
represent a turning point in the city’s financial condition. Based on this, we developed a
three to five year strategic plan to improve the city’s financial condition.
Current conditions are as follows:
The City’s Long-Term Debt
The City did not take on additional long-term debt but instead reduced its outstanding
bond debt balance by $225,000. The City also refinanced $5,585,000 in bond debt;
thus reducing bond payments by $926,774 over the next 27 years.
We will continue to refinance outstanding bond debt as they become eligible.
General Fund End-Of-Year Balances
As shown in the 2010 audit report, our end-of-year balance in the general fund for 2010
was a positive $40,181.
Our general fund end-of-year balance for 2011 is $32,269 plus an encumbered
additional balance for payroll of $44,809 and we project that the balance in 2012 will be
$516,917.
Required Reserves Balances
While we understand the requirement to maintain the agreed-to fund balance reserves,
as stated in the audit report the severe economic recession required us to deplete the
reserves to meet necessary obligations. However, we have begun to improve this
condition in 2011 and 2012. We anticipate that combined operating fund balances in
2012 will be $3,020,664.
Auditor’s Remarks
We appreciate the City’s commitment to resolving this issue. We will review the
condition during our next audit.

Status of Prior Audit Findings
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
The status of findings contained in the prior years’ audit reports of the City is provided below:
1. The City is at risk of not being able to meet its financial obligations.
Report No. 1006600, dated October 24, 2011.
Background
During the 2010 financial statement audit, we found the City’s General Fund
expenditures exceeded revenues in three of the prior five years, attributing to the decline
in ending cash balances, the City’s long-term debt balance had steadily increased since
2006 and they had entered into an inter-local agreement with the Jefferson County Fire
Protection District No. 1 which obligated the City to guarantee $625,000 of the District’s
debt.
Status
During the 2011 audit, we noted the City’s General Fund’s ending cash balance
continues to be low ($32,269 at December 31, 2011), though City debt obligations
appear to have leveled off. A fire and EMS levy passed in November 2011 which will
fund the Jefferson County Fire Protection District No. 1’s debt, removing the obligation
from the City.
There was slight improvement in the City’s overall financial condition during 2011;
however, we will re-issue a finding in this area due to continued uncertainty.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters in Accordance
with Government Auditing Standards
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
Mayor and City Council
City of Port Townsend
Port Townsend, Washington
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County,
Washington, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and have issued our report
thereon dated September 24, 2012.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City’s internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies
in internal control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider
to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office
7
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City’s compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our
audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
The City’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying
Schedule of Audit Findings and Responses. We did not audit the City’s response and,
accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
This report is intended for the information and use of management, the Mayor and City Council,
federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities. However, this report is a matter of public
record and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to disseminate information to the public
as a reporting tool to help citizens assess government operations.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance
with Requirements That Could Have a Direct
and Material Effect on Each Major Program and
on Internal Control over Compliance in
Accordance with OMB Circular A-133
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
Mayor and City Council
City of Port Townsend
Port Townsend, Washington
COMPLIANCE
We have audited the compliance of the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington,
with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material
effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2011. The City’s
major federal programs are identified in the Federal Summary. Compliance with the
requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal
programs is the responsibility of the City’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained
in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and
OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.
Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program
occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance
with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
audit does not provide a legal determination on the City’s compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal
programs for the year ended December 31, 2011.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable
to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City’s internal
control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a
major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance
in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type
of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal
control that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of management, the Mayor and City Council, federal
awarding agencies and pass-through entities. However, this report is a matter of public record
and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to disseminate information to the public as a
reporting tool to help citizens assess government operations.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Financial
Statements
City of Port Townsend
Jefferson County
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011
Mayor and City Council
City of Port Townsend
Port Townsend, Washington
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of Port Townsend,
Jefferson County, Washington, for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City prepares its financial statements on
the basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with Washington State statutes and the
Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual prescribed by the State Auditor,
which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting
principles.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position and results of operations of the City of Port Townsend, for the year ended
December 31, 2011, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
As described in the Schedule of Audit Findings and Responses, the City's low cash and
investment balance in the general fund as of December 31, 2011, reflects the continued
significant cash flow challenges that affect City operations. In addition, the City's utility
funds continued to operate at a loss in 2011. However, we also noted the City continues to take
steps towards improving their overall financial condition. No additional debt was issued in 2011,
a bond refunding in 2012 assisted in lowering future debt interest payments, and the City
passed a utility rate increase as of April 2012.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide
an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and
should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular
A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. The accompanying
Schedule of Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities is also presented for purposes of additional
analysis as required by the prescribed BARS manual. These schedules are not a required part
of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The report is intended for the information and use of the management, the Mayor and City
Council, federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities of the City. However, this report
is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to disseminate
information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens assess government operations.

City of Port Townsend
Notes To The Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2011
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Port Townsend reports financial activity using the revenue and expenditure
classifications, statements, and schedules contained in the Cash Basis Budgeting, Accounting and
Reporting System (BARS) manual. This basis of accounting and reporting is another
comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA) that is prescribed by the State Auditor’s Office
under the authority of Washington State law, Chapter 43.09 RCW.
The City of Port Townsend was incorporated on January 16, 1860, and operates under the laws of the
State of Washington applicable to a non-charter code city. The city is a general purpose government
and provides police and fire protection, water, sewer, storm drainage, as well as maintaining parks,
streets, and a library for use by its citizens.
The city uses single entry, cash basis accounting for its governmental and proprietary fund types ,
which is a departure from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Prior to 2008, the
proprietary (utility) funds were reported on accrual basis. Proprietary Funds are used to account for
activities that are operated in a manner similar to private enterprise business.
A. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the city are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of single
entry accounts that comprise its cash, investments, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as
appropriate.
The city's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on what
they are to be spent for and how they are controlled. The following are the fund types used by
the city:
Governmental Fund Types.- are used to finance most governmental functions and account
for and report expendable financial resources and related obligations.
General Fund (Fund 010) (Current Expense Fund)
This fund is the primary operating fund of the city. It accounts for all financial resources
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds (Funds in the 100 series)
These funds account for revenues derived from specific taxes, grants, or other sources
which are designed to finance particular activities of the city.
2
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Washington State Auditor's Office
21
Debt Service Funds (Funds in the 200 series)
These funds are used to gather resources to pay general government debt.
Capital Projects Funds (Funds in the 300 series)
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the
acquisition or construction of general government capital improvements.
Proprietary Fund Types
Enterprise Funds (Funds in the 400 series)
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general
public and are supported primarily through user charges.
Internal Service Funds (Funds in the 500 series)
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other
departments or funds of the city or other governmental units on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Types - Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the city in a trustee
capacity or as an agent on behalf of others.
Refundable Deposits (601)
This fund accounts for deposits being held pending city criteria for builders
being fulfilled.
Pension (and Other Employee Benefit) Trust Funds (611-620)
Firemen’s Pension
Private Purpose Trust Funds (621-630)
Funds used to report all trust arrangements under which principal and income
benefit individual, private organization and other government.
Agency Funds (Funds 631-699)
This fund accounts for assets whereby the city acts as a pass through agent for
various government entities.
B. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. Revenues are recognized only when
cash is received and expenditures are recognized when paid, including those properly

chargeable against the prior year(s) budget appropriations as required by state law.
Purchases of capital assets are expensed during the year of acquisition. There is no
capitalization of capital assets, nor allocation of depreciation expense. Inventory is
expensed when purchased.
The basis of accounting described above represents a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
C. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds at the fund level.
The budgets constitute the legal authority for expenditures at that level. Annual
appropriations for all funds lapse at year end.
The city manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between (department within
and fund/object classes with departments); however, any revisions that alter the total
expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee positions, salary
ranges, hours, or other conditions of employment must be approved by the city council.
The appropriated and actual expenditures for the legally adopted budgets were as follows:

The Jefferson County Treasurer acts as agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all
taxing authorities. Collections are distributed after the total collected surpasses $10,000; with any
balance left over distributed at month-end.
Property tax revenues are recognized when cash is collected. Delinquent taxes are considered
fully collectible because a lien affixes to the property when taxes are levied.
The city's regular levy for 2011 was $1.39077 per $1,000.00 on an assessed valuation of
$1,463,343,405 for a total regular levy of $2,035,174.11.
In 2011 the city also had a special levy for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The EMS levy
rate was voter approved in 2010 to $ .50 per $1,000 for a total levy of $731,671.70.
A Library LID lift was approved by voters in 2008 to be phased in over 2009-2011. For 2011 the
library levy was .64563 per 1,000 for a total of $944,778.40

NOTE 7 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The City of Port Townsend is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).
Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal
Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for
the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring,
and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 150 members.
New members initially contract for a three year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an
annual basis. A one year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated.
Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during
membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes
general, automobile, police, public officials’ errors and omissions, stop gap, and employee
benefits liability. Limits are $4 million per occurrence self insured layer, $16 million per
occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the purchase of
reinsurance and insurance ans is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $20 million per
occurrence subject to aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines
the limits and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity , inland marine, and boiler
and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage.
Property insurance and auto physical damage coverage are self funded up to $500,000, for all perils
other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of insurance.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and
litigation administration, and loss analysis. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation
consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist
services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated
basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss
adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA retains the right to
additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
WCIA is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of one designated representative
from each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to
provide general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to
the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations of WCIA.

NOTE 12 – NEW PUBLIC ENTITY FORMED
On September 08, 2009 the City of Port Townsend authorized the creation of a public corporation
known as the Port Townsend Public Development Authority. A charter and bylaws were adopted
for the entity, but no other activity took place in 2009. In September 2011 the Council amended
the authority’s charter to change the name to the Fort Worden Lifelong Learning Center Public
Development Authority. It’s purpose was amended to focus solely on the Park.
For 2010, the PDA incurred $10,451 in expenses, paid by the City. Most of the money spent was
for a contract consultant and an internet campaign for the historic customs house.
These expenses were part of the General Fund. The PDA received a $5,000 award from
a private, non-profit membership organization – National Trust for Historic Preservation.
In 2011 the city paid $36,773.14 in costs associated with the Fort Worden PDA, most of these
expenses were for attorney fees and architectural consulting fees. On September 6th, 2011 the
council authorized the City to use funds from the 2010 LTGO bond to pay up to $50,000 for
consulting services in connection with the potential customs house renovation and proposed
renovation of Building 202 at Fort Worden. An additional $70,000 was authorized to be
transferred to the FWPDA for it’s use in connection with the proposed renovation of Building
202.
No transfer of funds from bond proceeds were made in 2011, pending the outcome of
an agreement between the FWPDA and the State of Washington on the future of Fort Worden
State Park’s management.
NOTE 13 – PRIOR YEAR CORRECTION
An interfund loan in the amount of $185,571 for a parks capital purchase in 2009 was approved
through resolution by City Council in 2010. This loan was disclosed on the 2010 Annual Report,
but was not added to the budget or booked on the general ledger as a loan disbursement in 2010.
NOTE 14 – EQUIPMENT RENTAL FUND ALLOCATION
In light of the economic downturn, the city suspended 50% of Equipment Rental contributions
across most funds, and is evaluating the funding policies for equipment replacement. The water
and sewer fund contributions were kept at 100% and the police contribution was adjusted to 34%
of the original adopted budget.

Fire District 1, the city sold it’s Fire Hall and Fire Hall real property to the District for the sum of
$477,806.76. Funds received were utilized by the GO Debt service fund to meet 2011 debt service

NOTE 16 – INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH EAST JEFFERSON FIRE RESCUE
On November 22, 2010, the city amended its joint operating agreement with East Jefferson
Fire Rescue (District) for fire protection and emergency medical services. The agreement
required the city to reimburse the District for debt service on the new 2010 District general
obligation bond.

debt service.
