ORDINANCE N0. 5812
Except for withdrawals therefrom as authorized herein, the Reserve Fund shall be
maintained at the Reserve Requirement at all times so long as any Parity Bonds are
Outstanding. When the total amount in the Bond Fund shall equal the total amount of principal
and interest for all outstanding Bonds, no further payment need be made into the Bond Fund.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, the Reserve Requirement may be
decreased for any issue of Parity Bonds when and to the extent the City has redeemed or
otherwise defeased any Outstanding Parity Bonds.
If there shall be a deficiency in the Bond Fund to meet maturing installments of either
principal or interest, as the case may be, on the Bond, that deficiency shall be made up from
the Reserve Fund by the withdrawal of cash therefrom for that purpose and after all cash has
been depleted, then by draws on the Qualified Insurance or Qualified Letter of Credit for that
purpose. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Fund by reason of any such withdrawal shall
then be made up from Net Revenue first available after making necessary provisions for the
required payments into the Bond Fund. Any money in the Reserve Fund in excess of the
Reserve Requirement may be withdrawn and deposited in any Parity Bond Fund and spent for
the purpose of retiring Parity Bonds or may be deposited in any other fund and spent for any
other lawful Waterworks Utility purpose.
The City may provide for the purchase, redemption or defeasance of Parity Bonds by the
use of money on deposit in the Bond Fund or the Reserve Fund as long as the money remaining
in those funds is sufficient to satisfy the required deposits in those funds for the remaining
Parity Bonds.

investment for City funds, but only to the extent that the same are acquired, valued and
disposed of at Fair Market Value. Interest on any of those investments or on that bank account
shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund until the total Reserve Requirement shall have been
accumulated therein, after which time the interest shall be deposited in any Parity Bond Fund.
Notwithstanding the provisions for the deposit or maintenance of earnings in the Bond
Fund or the Reserve Fund, the City also may transfer out of the Bond Fund or Reserve Fund any
money required in order to prevent any Parity Bonds from becoming "arbitrage bonds" under
the Code.
If the City fails to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund or the Reserve Fund the amounts
set forth above, the Registered Owner of any of the outstanding Bonds may bring an action
against the City to compel that setting aside and payment.
(c) Pledge of Revenue and Lien Position. The Net Revenue is hereby pledged to the
payment of the Parity Bonds, and the Parity Bonds shall constitute a lien and charge upon such
Net Revenue prior and superior to any other charge whatsoever.
(d) Regarding Sufficiency of Revenues. The Council hereby finds that in fixing the
amounts to be paid into the Bond Fund out of Gross Revenue, it has exercised due regard for
the Maintenance and Operation Expense and has not obligated the City to set aside and pay
into such Fund a greater amount of such Gross Revenue than in its judgment will be available
over and above the Maintenance and Operation Expense.
