  Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset
  or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include:

    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
    Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active;
    Observable inputs other than quoted prices for the asset or liability (for example,
  interest rates and yield curves); and,
    Inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data
  correlation or by other means
    Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs should be used to
  measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.
  The Town’s restricted investments consist of annuity contracts related to the Town’s Length of
  Service Award Programs (“LOSAP”), a defined benefit volunteer firefighter award program (see
  Note 7) and a defined contribution volunteer ambulance worker program (See Note 8). These
  annuities are guaranteed fixed annuities. The interest on each annuity varies but they are all fixed rate
  with a guaranteed minimum rate for a specific period.
  As of December 31, 2024, the Town has annuity funds that are valued using observable inputs other
  than quoted prices and inputs derived from observable market data correlation (level 2 input) in the
  amounts of $2,601,939 recorded within the Fire Protection Fund, and $691,188 recorded within the
  Ambulance Fund.
