FUNDING OF DEBT SERVICE Throughout the remainder of this report, bond and note issues are designated by the primary source of funding, using the following abbreviations:

L From Limited Property Tax Issued by the City Council without voter approval. L* From City Income Tax Issued by the City Council without voter approval, supported on Collections the secondary level by limited property tax collections, but, by special ordinance, serviced on the primary level by city income tax collections. U From Unlimited Property Issued by authorization by vote of the people, but, by ordinance, Tax serviced from City income tax collections on the primary level, with secondary support, if ever needed, from additional property taxes. E From Enterprise Revenues Issued with or without voter approval, funded on the primary level from division revenues, with secondary support, if ever needed, from either limited or unlimited property taxes, depend­ ing on the type of authorization for issue.

A From Special Assessments Issued by the City Council without voter approval. Funded on the primary level by special assessments levied on the individual properties involved in the individual improvements.

DEBT LIMITATIONS There are two direct limitations on indebtedness, one for bonds and notes issued without vote of the people (5.5% of the City's assessed valuation) and one for the total indebtedness (10.5% of the City's as­ sessed valuation).

In the calculation of both of these limitations certain issues are exempt. Exemptions in the limited category are assessment, special urban redevelopment, and enterprise issues (excluding division of electricity issues). Exemptions in the total indebtedness also include federal assistance issues (U-FA) and regular urban redevelopment (U-UR). Issues not exempt are designated (U-NE) in the 1979 requirement schedule.

There is also an indirect limit on bonds and notes issued without voter approval. This limit includes interest payment as well as principal payment. The Ohio Constitution states that the amount of unvoted bonds and notes that can be issued by overlapping political sub-divisions cannot exceed an amount that can be serviced by a ten mill tax on the assessed valuation, regardless of whether the particular bonds and notes are exempt from direct limits and regardless of whether they may be serviced from enter­ prise revenues or other sources other than property taxes.
