GENERAL INFORMATION
The City of Elgin is located approximately 38 miles northwest of downtown Chicago along the Fox River. Named an
All-American City in 1956, Elgin is an industrial center surrounded by open, unincorporated area with room to grow. Elgin
constitutes one of the major"satellite"cities in the metropolitan region, which means that it is large enough to maintain its
own economic independence but is dependent upon its proximity to Chicago for some of its economic vitality. Elgin was
incorporated under a special charter from the State of Illinois in 1854. It presently covers over 20 square miles.
Government
The City of Elgin operates under the Council-Manager form of government with a Mayor and six Council members
elected at large for four-year overlapping terms. The administrative head of the City is the City Manager who is responsible
for preparing an operating budget, subject to approval by the Council, and the daily operations of the City and its 426 full-
time employees.
The City of Elgin provides a Police Department of 96 full-time officers and a Fire Department which operates five fire
stations and 82 full-time employees of whom 37 are certified paramedics.
elk Transportation
The City of Elgin is served by the Illinois Toll Road and Milwaukee Road commuter line, both of which provide access
to Chicago. In addition, a network of four State highways and Federal Route 20 enhance Elgin's economic viability. Bus
transportation for Elgin and neighboring communities is operated by the City with the net cost reimbursed by the Regional
Transportation Authority.
Education
School District No. 46 provides the Elgin area with 31 elementary schools, 6 junior high schools, 3 senior high schools,
a preschool building, and a special education facility. This district is one of the State's largest, and total enrollment in the

College, in Elgin.
Community Life
Elgin's Parks and Recreation Department oversees some 1,046 acres of parks which include a botanical garden, a zoo,
a museum, a band shell, and numerous athletic facilities. The donated 1,200 seat Hemmens Auditorium with exhibition hall

Personal Property Tax Replacement
The Illinois General Assembly, pursuant to section 5(c) of Article IX of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois, abol-
ished all ad valorem, personal property taxes as of January 1, 1979,and, to replace the lost revenue,adopted a Personal Property
Tax Replacement Income Tax. Such tax is measured by the net income, as defined, of every corporation, partnership and trust
for each taxable year ending after June 30, 1979,and also by the invested capital, as defined, of certain public utilities. Collections
r of said replacement taxes are deposited and held in a Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund for distribution to taxing districts.
Prior to December 31, 1980, such fund was distributed quarterly to each taxing district and is now required to be distributed
eight times per year.
Monies received by any taxing district from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward pay-
ment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was previously levied and collected from extensions against personal
property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978,and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of the pen-
sion or retirement obligations of the taxing district which were previously levied and collected from extensions against personal
property, and any funds remaining may be used for any corporate purpose for which personal property taxes were used.
In.1984 the City received the sum of$427,308 from the Illinois Department of Revenue as the City's share. For the year
1985, the City received distributions aggregating $453,387 from the Department of Revenue.
As can be seen from the following table, total tax rates for the City have remained relatively stable over the past six years.
The 1984 total tax rate in Cook County, where assessment procedures are different than in Kane County, was $94.76.

-'-FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Basis of Accounting
The City of Elgin reports all governmental funds and the Expendable Trust Fund using the modified accrual basis of account-
ing. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available, as net current assets and expen-
ditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
All proprietary funds and Nonexpendable Trust and Pension Trust Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of account-
ing. Under this method, revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
The financial statements of the City are audited annually by certified public accountants. The following reports are summaries
and do not purport to be the complete audits, copies of which are available upon request.

Property Taxes-Revenue Recognition
During 1982,a change promulgated by the National Council on Governmental Accounting in accounting principle was adopted
affecting the recognition of property tax revenue. Prior to the change, property taxes were accrued as revenue at the date of
the levy, but, effective in 1982, revenue recognition is being deferred until the fiscal year following the date of the levy. This
change recognizes the extraordinarily long period of time between the levy date and the receipt of tax distributions from the County
Collector. Because of this delay, property taxes are not readily available to finance City operations in the year of the levy and,
therefore, will be deferred until the time of receipt from the County Collector. Since the recognition of expenditures in the Debt
Service Fund and the Public Benefit Fund is matched with the related property tax levy,the method for recognizing these expen-
ditures was also changed in 1982 to correspond to the property tax revenue recognized.
The National Council recommended that this change be adopted for fiscal years beginning after September 30, 1981. The
effect of this change was a restatement of fund equity as of December 31, 1981, for the following fund groups:

in an accrual of three months of sales tax revenue. During 1981,sales tax revenue was recognized in the month of allocation by the State of Illinois resulting
in a one month accrual of revenue.
(4) The fund balance at January 1, 1982, was decreased in order to accommodate a change in the recognition of revenues received from property taxes. (See
section entitled"Properly Taxes - Revenue Recognition')
(5) Prior period adjustment to reflect change in accounting for compensated balances.

PROPOSED FEDERAL TAX LEGISLATION
On December 17, 1985, the United States House of Representatives adopted H.R. 3838 (in the form so adopted, the"Tax
Bill"). The Tax Bill, which has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee, provides that it is effective with respect to state
and local government obligations, such as the Bonds, issued after December 31, 1985. The Tax Bill contains a number of re-
quirements and restrictions which would apply to the Bonds, including investment restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage
profits to the United States, timely and proper use of proceeds and certain other matters. Failure to comply with certain of such
provisions would cause interest on the Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation retroactive to the date of issuance
of the Bonds. The issuer has covenanted to comply with the Tax Bill. Bond Counsel is of the opinion that, assuming such com-
pliance, interest on the Bonds would be exempt from federal income taxation under the Tax Bill if it becomes law.
In addition, for taxable years beginning in 1988, the Tax Bill, if it becomes law, would subject property and casualty in-
surance companies to a minimum tax determined by including (among other things) interest such as interest on the Bonds in the
Ow relevant income computation. L
