Bond Debt

 
In December 2005, the District issued bonds totaling $2,090,000 at a 7.00% interest rate and used the net cash proceeds to construct certain infrastructure within the District. The Bonds mature in December 2035 (30 year term).

The holder of the bonds is Aberdeen District Investments, LLC, which is owned by individuals that also own Amber Communities, Inc (the Developer of the original 40 condo units in Bonnyview).

The infrastructure projects funded from the bond proceeds benefits the entire District and the bonds were issued based on the assumption that substantially more land within the District would soon be developed after the public infrastructure was installed. However, as of December 31, 2018, only approximately 5% of the total land within the District was developed.
Because land within the District has not developed as quickly as planned, the land has not generated sufficient property tax revenue since 2005 to fund the annual principal and interest payments on the District's bonds.

Unpaid interest and principal on the bonds is rolled forward each year and reflected in the current year's principal and interest payment due. 

Note: Because interest on these bonds accrues on unpaid interest, the effective interest rate on these bonds is higher than the stated rate of 7% per annum.

The District’s repayment schedule for its bond is as follows:
