Residents from the Town of Mountain View authorized a $7,400,000 renovation to their historic town hall on November 15, 2016. Financing for the project consists of $2,800,000 from a 5 percent serial bond issue, $2,400,000 from a state grant, and $2,200,000 from the General Fund.

Prepare journal entries to record the related transactions in the towns capital projects fund, debt service fund, and governmental activities at the government-wide level. (Do not round intermediate calculations. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
