Estimated revenue for interest on investment of premium


On July 15, 2011, the city of Higgins Lake issued tax-supported term bonds having a face value of $10,000,000 and maturing in 20 years. The bonds are dated July 15, 2011, and pay interest of 6 percent semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The bonds were sold at a price of 102 and were intended to finance construction of a new city jail. The premium on sale of the bonds was recorded directly in the debt service fund and was immediately invested for eventual retirement of the debt. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the city council approved a budget for the newly established term bond debt service fund in the amount of $444,500, which includes $432,500 that will be transferred from the General Fund as follows: (1) $300,000 on January 14, 2012 for the January 15, 2012 interest payment due and (2) $132,500 on June 30, 2012 for investment in the debt service fund for retirement of principal, and $12,000 of estimated revenue for interest on investment of premium.
