                                     revenue from operations. As of the last reported CAFR, the Town experienced

                                     on its revenue bonds.
                                     Measure:     Maintain a minimum of 1.00 debt service ratio.

                         Objective   The self-sufficiency ratio indicates the level at which business-type activities
                                     covers their current costs with current year revenues, without having to rely
                                     on subsidies or use of prior year reserves. As of the last reported CAFR, the
                                     Solid Waste Fund had a self-sufficiency ratio of 82.3% and the Electric Fund
                                     has a self-sufficiency ratio of 121.7%.
                                     Measure:      Maintain a minimum self-sufficiency ratio for business-type
                                                   activities of 100.0%.
