Special Assessment Debt with Government Commitment
Highlands Undergrounding Assessment District No. 04-01, Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2006
On August 8, 2006, the City Palm Desert issued $3,165,000 of Limited Obligation Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds were used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and pay the cost of issuance. The debt service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the property tax rolls of those properties benefiting from the improvements. In the event that assessment collections are insufficient to pay the debt service, the City has a potential obligation to provide additional funds to pay the debt service, therefore these bonds are reported as special assessment debt with government commitment. Bond maturities begin September 2, 2007, and continue annually through 2036. The interest rates of the bonds range from 3.85% to 5.15%. The City of Palm Desert is the only bondholder on record of the bonds and the City does not own the constructed assets.
