This memorandum and the City's annual audit report provide compliance with that requirement. The City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2009 reported: "The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City was created pursuant to Minnesota statutes 469.090 through 469.108 to carry out economic and industrial development and redevelopment consistent with policies established by the Council. It is comprised of the members of the City Council and has a December 31 year end. The EDA activities are blended and reported in the debt service and capital project funds. Separate financial statements are not issued for this component unit." No major activity took place in 2009 save for the refunding of the 2002 series Public Safety Bonds in February 2009 in the amount of $8.495 million. This refunding was financed with proceeds from the 2007 series bond issue that has been invested with the trustee (U.S. Bank), pending this event. The only other notable event was the completion of the City Hall Renovation that began in 2008 and funded with $1,310,000 bond issue. The 2003 series was refunded February 1, 2010 in the amount of $2.110 million. This refunding is not reflected in the attached year -end 2009 statements. As can be seen from the attached excerpts from the financial statements, the total amount of EDA Lease Revenue Bonds outstanding at year end was $13,295,000, including the City Hall project bonds. Note that the City Hall bonds are callable in 2016. The attached notes also provide detailed information about the Public Safety Facility Bonds outstanding at year end, along with annual debt service requirements. Northland Securities currently is conducting a review of bond refunding possibilities and a report is forthcoming to the EDA Board and Shorewood Council. #3A The financial statements below are excerpts from the 12/31/2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and are provided for the convenience of the Commission. Long -term debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $16,460,000. Of this amount, $13,295,000 is lease revenue bonds and $3,165,000 is general obligation revenue bonds. While all of the City's bonds have revenue streams, they are all backed by the full faith and credit of the City.
