The City has elected to report its estimated claim liability at the discounted net present value of future payments.

4.C. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Construction Commitments
At June 30, 2021, the City had awarded construction contracts totaling $281,391,658 for various City and EPWA projects and of this amount, $101,881,773 was outstanding and payable from various funds.
Contingencies
Grant Program Involvement In the normal course of operations, the City participates in various federal or state grant/loan programs from year to year. The grant/loan programs are often subject to additional audits by agents of the granting or loaning agency to ensure compliance with specific provisions of the grant or loan. Any liability or reimbursement which may arise as a result of these audits cannot be reasonably determined at this time, although it is believed the amount, if any, would not be material.
Litigation The City is a party to various legal proceedings which normally occur in the course of governmental operations. The financial statements do not include accrual or provisions for loss contingencies that may result from these proceedings. State statutes provide for the levy of an ad valorem tax over a three-year period by a City Sinking Fund for the payment of any court assessed judgment rendered against the City. This statutory taxing ability is not available to the City’s public trusts (Authorities).
While the outcome of the above noted proceedings cannot be predicted, due to the insurance coverage maintained by the City and the State statute relating to judgments, the City feels that any settlement or judgment not covered by insurance would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
4.D. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The City is party to multiple agreements for the purpose of developing the Interstate 35 corridor within its city limits. In fiscal 2012, the City purchased land along the corridor for $2.2 million for the development of a hotel and conference center. Subsequently, the City entered into a development agreement and committed to lend $4.8 million towards the cost of constructing the conference center. The developer financed the cost of the related hotel and expenditures for the Conference Center that exceed $4.8 million. Rental payments to the City for the use of the underlying land are one dollar a year. The hotel is privately owned and managed. Based on terms of the contract, the developer may purchase the land and conference center from the City for $7 million at any time. If the developer elects to not purchase the land and conference center, the City will lease the land to the developer at a market based rate, including escalators. Alternatively, the City has a contractual commitment from the developer to begin paying back the loan starting in the 10th year from commencing operations of the facility over a term of 25 years.
