The City Hall Debt Service Fund of the City of Monroe has been open for five years; it was created to service an $16,000,000, 3 percent tax-supported bond issue. As of December 31, 2014, this serial bond issue had a balance of $12,000,000. Semiannual interest payments are made on January 1 and July 1, and a principal payment of $400,000 is due on January 1 and July 1 of each year.
As this is a regular serial bond debt service fund, the only accounts with balances as of January 1, 2015, were Cash with Fiscal Agent and Fund Balance—Assigned for Debt Service, each with balances of $580,000. (Revenues were raised and collected in cash in 2014 in order to be able to pay bond principal and interest due on January 1, 2015.) The government chose not to accrue interest payable.
