irrevocably obligates and binds itself to set aside and pay from the Waterworks Utility Fund into
the Bond Fund those amounts necessary, together with such other funds as are on hand and
available in the Bond Fund, to pay the interest or principal and interest next coming due on the

fixed amount without regard to any fixed proportion following the closing and delivery of the
Bond on or before each date on which an installment of interest or principal and interest falls
due on the Bond equal to the installment of interest or principal and interest. Money in the

-17-
10018 00011 ge17ct42hq
ORDINANCE N0. 5846
deposited in legal investments for City funds, but only to the extent that the same are acquired,
valued and disposed of at Fair Market Value.

amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be at least equal to the Reserve Requirement.
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Reserve Requirement may be withdrawn and deposited in any Parity Bond Fund and spent for
-18-
10018 00011 ge17ct42hq
ORDINANCE N0. 5846

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.
All money in the Bond Fund or Reserve Fund may be kept in cash or on deposit in the
official bank depository of the City or in any national bank or may be invested in any legal
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
