payment of the next month's expenses of administration and operation of the System
and such current expenses for the maintenance thereof as may be necessary to
preserve the same in good repair and working order
A budget, showing in detail the estimated costs of administration, operation and
maintenance of the System for the next ensuing operating year, shall be prepared by
the City Council at least 30 days prior to the commencement of each ensuing operating
year No payments shall be made to the Issuer from moneys credited to the Operation
and Maintenance Account except for services directly rendered to the System by the
Issuer or its personnel
B BOND AND INTEREST REDEMPTION ACCOUNT
There shall be established and maintained a separate depositary fund designated
BOND AND INTEREST REDEMPTION ACCOUNT (the "Redemption Account"), the
moneys on deposit therein from time to time to be used solely for the purpose of paying
the principal of, redemption premiums (if any) and interest on the Bonds The moneys
in the Redemption Account (including the Bond Reserve Account) shall be kept on
deposit with the bank or trust company where the principal of and interest on the Bonds,
or any series thereof, are payable
Out of the Revenues remaining in the Receiving Fund, after provision for the Operation

on the Bonds on May 1, 2006, less any amount in the Redemption Account
representing accrued interest on the Bonds or investment income on amounts on
deposit in the Redemption Account. The amount of principal next coming due by
maturity and the amount set aside each month for principal payment commencing
35408
Regular Meeting of November 14, 2005
December 1, 2005, shall be 1/12 of the amount of principal next coming due by maturity
on November 1 of each year If there is any deficiency in the amount previously set
aside, that deficiency shall be added to the next succeeding monthly requirements The
amount to be set aside for the payment of principal and interest on any date shall not
exceed the amount which, when added to the money on deposit in the Redemption
Account, including investment income thereon is necessary to pay principal and interest
due on the Bonds on the next succeeding principal payment date
There has been previously established by the Outstanding Ordinances a separate
account in the Redemption Account known as the BOND RESERVE ACCOUNT (the
"Bond Reserve Account"), the moneys in which Account shall be transferred to the Bond
Reserve Account established herein Upon delivery of the Series 2005 Bonds, there
shall be deposited in the Bond Reserve Account from the proceeds of the Series 2005
Bonds, an amount so that the balance in the Bond Reserve Account shall be equal to
the lesser of (1) the maximum annual debt service on the Bonds and the Outstanding

service on the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds, or (3) 10% of the principal amount of

Reserve Account must be transferred into the Redemption Account once the Reserve
Amount has been reached In addition, upon delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds, there
shall be either added to the Bond Reserve Account a sum sufficient to meet the Bond
Reserve Amount or to the extent that the Bond Reserve Amount is greater than

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the moneys credited to the Bond Reserve
Account shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of, redemption premiums
(if any) and interest on the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds as to which there would
otherwise be a default. If at any time it shall be necessary to use moneys credited to
the Bond Reserve Account for such payment, then the moneys so used shall be
replaced from the Net Revenues first received thereafter which are not required for
current principal and interest requirements until the amount on deposit equals the
Reserve Amount. If additional Bonds are issued, each Ordinance authorizing the
additional Bonds shall provide for additional deposits to the Bond Reserve Account to
be made from the proceeds of the additional Bonds or City funds on hand and legally
available for such use in an amount that will result in the Bond Reserve Account being
funded to the Bond Reserve Amount. If on any December 1st the amount in the Bond
Reserve Account exceeds the Bond Reserve Amount, the excess may be transferred to
the Redemption Account for payment of principal and interest on the Bonds due on that
date
For purposes of making deposits to the Redemption Account and the Bond Reserve
Account, the principal amount of Bonds becoming due by reason of a Mandatory
Redemption Requirement shall be deemed to become due in the principal amount and
on the due date of the Mandatory Redemption Requirements Each Ordinance
authorizing the sale of Additional Bonds shall state the amount of Bonds authorized

issue and maturity from money allocated therefor as provided herein, or purchased with
other funds legally available therefor The Issuer shall elect the manner in which it
intends to satisfy a Mandatory Redemption Requirement not less than forty-five days
prior to the due date of each Mandatory Redemption Requirement.
The money set aside to satisfy the next Mandatory Redemption Requirement for the
Bonds shall be used by redeeming said Bonds on the following November 1st or by
purchasing Bonds of the same issue and maturity with respect to which the Mandatory
Redemption Requirement applies and surrendering the same to the paying agent for
cancellation or on prior to the required due date of the Mandatory Redemption
Requirement. In the event that after any Mandatory Redemption Requirement date
moneys remain in the Redemption Account, as a result of the purchase of Bonds at less
than par, the amount of such excess may be transferred to the Receiving Fund If no
Bonds of an issue are issued as term Bonds then there shall be no Mandatory
Redemption Requirement with respect to those Bonds
C. REPLACEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT FUND.
There shall next be established and maintained a separate depositary account,

advisable If at any time it shall be necessary to use moneys in the Replacement
Account for the purpose for which the Replacement Account was established, the
moneys so used shall be replaced from any moneys in the Receiving Account which are
not required by this Ordinance to be used for the Operation and Maintenance Account
or the Redemption Account including the Bond Reserve Account.
