<br />property within the City. Net debt is debt payable solely from ad valorem taxes. The taxable market value totals $342,844,400,
<br />which calculatesto a debt margin of $10,285,332. Debt financed partially or entirely by special assessments is not applied against

<br />debt outstanding leaving a debt margin of $9,675,893.
