collections, study and computer locations, as well as community meeting and age-specific programming spaces. Bond proceeds will be also used for capital costs, including equipment, such as computers, furnishings, site improvements, and costs of Issuing the
bonds.<br>

City obtains supplemental funds, it may issue fewer bonds or use such <br>

funds to pay the bonds and decrease the tax levy. If the maximum bond <br>
<br>
amount is issued, the estimated annual tax rate is approximately $1.51per <br>
<br>
$1,000 assessed value; actual levy rates may differ due to interest rates and <br>
<br>
changes in assessed value. The bonds may be issued in series for not more <br>

than 21 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
