"In December 2011,
approximately $3.0 million in Coliseum Certificates of Participation
were retired (This included the final maturity on Arena Expansion debt issued in 1991.).

Wasn't it reported to be about $56.4 or $48 million in retired debt?

Based on this and the estimated debt capacity
of the net Hotel/Motel Room Occupancy Tax revenue,
the City can issue up to $15.0 million in COPs in FY 11-12
with an additional $15.0 million available in another 3 to 4 years.
