  A default will have occurred if the payment of principal or interest are not paid when due and
  payable. Upon default in payment in full of the principal of or interest on the bonds, a holder of such
  defaulted bond has a contractual right to sue the Town of the amount then due thereon.

  The Town does not have any lines of credit.

  Lease Liability—The Town holds long-term capital leases for various equipment. The outstanding
  balance at December 31, 2024 was $8,738 Refer to note 9 for additional information related to the
  Town’s leases.

  Compensated Absences—As described in Note 1, the Town records the value of compensated
  absences in the government-wide financial statements. The annual budgets of the respective funds of
  which the employees’ payroll is recorded provide for these benefits as they become due. Typically,
  the Highway—Town Wide Fund have been used in prior years to liquidate the current liability. The
  liability for compensated absences at December 31, 2024 amounts to $179,285. While the payments
  of compensated absences are dependent upon many factors, the Town has estimated that $17,928 will
  become due within one year. Since payment of compensated absences is dependent upon many
  factors, the timing of future payments is not readily available.

  Pension Liabilities—The Town reports liabilities for its proportionate share of the net pension
  liability for the Employees’ Retirement System of $496,713 and the total pension liability for LOSAP
  of $6,785,481. Refer to Notes 6 and 7 for additional information related to the Town’s pension
