B.	Approval of the Financial Statements

	Mr. Wertovitch MOVED to approve the financial statements and Mr. DePompa seconded the motion.

•	Mr. Wertovitch addressed the interest and inquired if the CDD pays taxes.

o	Mr. Mendenhall noted we do not pay sales tax, but the CDD does have to pay other taxes. It would only be utility type taxes which he does not believe Heritage Springs has. The District is not able to earn more than the interest rate they are paying on the bonds and if they do they would have to remit it back to the government. This is why the arbitrage calculation is done each year.

On VOICE vote, with all in favor, the financial statements were approved.
