The bonds were sold to yield 6.2% and hence were issued at a discount of $2.27 million (i.e., at a price of $97.73 million). Interest on the bonds is payable on July 1 and January 1 of each year. On July 1, 2012, and January 1, 201 3, the city made its required interest payments of $3 million each.
