Thereafter, the City shall transfer from the Revenue Fund to the Bond Fund on or before the 15th day of each month, sums not less than: (1) beginning on the 15th day of the first month, after issuance of the Bonds, and continuing until December 15, 1965, such propor- tionate monthly sums as, together with accrued interest to deliv- ery as above provided to be set aside at the time of delivery, will be sufficient to accumulate in the Bond Fund by December 15, 19653 a sum equal to the amount of the interest coupons which will become due and payable on January 1, 1966; (ii) beginning on the 15th day of the first month after issuance of the Bonds, and continuing until December 15, 19663 such proportionate monthly sums as will be sufficient to accumulate in the Bond Fund not later than December 15, 1966, a sum equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Bonds which will become due and payable on January 1, 1967; (iii) beginning January 15, 1966, a sum equal to one-sixth (1/6) of the next succeeding interest installment to become due on all Bonds then outstanding; (iv) beginning January 15, 1967, a sum equal to one -twelfth (1/12) of the principal of all Bonds maturing on the next succeeding January 1; (v) beginning July 15, 1966, an additional sum equal to one one -hundred - twentieth (1/120) of the aggregate amount of the principal of and interest on all outstanding Bonds maturing on the ensuing January 1 and July 1, computed as of July 1 in each year; PROVIDED, HOIAEVER, that all sums deposited in the Bond Fund in excess of semiannual interest payments and annual principal payments of the Bonds, shall constitute and accumulate within the Bond Fund as a Debt Service Reserve, hereby created, until such time as there shall be accumulated in such Reserve a sum equal to not less than the average of the amounts necessary to provide for payment, when due, of both principal of and interest on all outstanding Bonds during all subsequent fiscal years to final maturity; and thereafter the aforesaid monthly deposits referred to in (v) above may be suspended, but shall be resumed whenever authorized disbursements from the Debt Service Reserve shall reduce the balance therein below the amount hereinabove prescribed, and y shall be continued for such period of tine as may be required to restore and maintain the balance therein at such prescribed level. In the event parity Bonds are issued pursuant to the conditions and restrictions hereinafter prescribed in that connection, the monthly deposits shall be adjusted as provided in Section 11 of this Ordinance. Moneys from time to time in the Debt Service Reserve may be held in cash, in which event the same shall be secured by a valid pledge of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaran- teed by, the .United States Government, having at all times an equal market value; or the same, or any part thereof, may be invested and reinvested by the City Treasurer upon written direction of the City Manager, in interest-bearing obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaran- (teed by, the United States Government, maturing or subject to redemption at the option of the holder not later than five (5) years from date of investment or the final maturity date of Bonds outstanding pursuant to this Ordinance, which- ever date is the earlier. Income from any such investments shall be accumu- lated in said Debt Service Reserve, and may be invested in the same manner. Withdrawals shall be made from the said Debt Service Reserve, and transferred to the Bond Fund, if and to any extent required at any time to prevent default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Bonds which by their terms are payable from said Bond Fund; and if necessary, securities held as investments in said Debt Service Roserve shall be converted into cash for such purposes, but no vithdrawals therefrom shall be made for any other purposes, and the City hereby irrevocable pledges all moneys and securities in the Debt Service Reserve for such purposes only. In the event any such permitted withdrawals are made, the deficiency in said fund shall.,be required to be made into or for the account of said Debt Service Reserve; and in such event the Debt Service Reserve may be applied to the payment and retirement of all such outstanding Bonds, whether by redemption or purchase, notwithstanding any other provision hereinabove made concerning the use and application of said Debt Service Reserve. (C) A separate and special fund or account of said City is hereby created, and the same is hereby designated and identified as the "Sewer Operation and Maintenance Fund," which shall be maintained in a bank which is a member of FDIC. After observing the priority of deposits set forth in (B) above there shall be deposited in,this fund monthly from the Revenue Fund, a sum equal to the anticipated costs of operatind and maintaining the System for the next ensuing month, according to the Budget for which provision is hereinafter made, together with an amount sufficient to meet any unforeseen deficit in payment of the costs of operating and maintaining the System during the previous 651 652 month; and moneys deposited from time to time in the said "Sewer Operation and Maintenance Fund" shall be used and applied for such purposes. (D) A separate and special fund or account of said City is hereby created, and is hereby designated and identified as the "Sewer Depreciation and Extension Fund" (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as the "Depreciation Fund"), which shall be maintained in a bank which is a member of FDIC. After observing the priority of deposits set forth in (B) and (C) above, which are cumulative, there shall be transferred from the Revenue Fund each month and deposited in the Depreciation Yund the sum of u2,000.00, (or so much thereof as may be available), and any excess Bond proceeds remaining after payment in full of all costs of the Project, to the extent particularly set forth in Section 8 of this Ordinance. In addition to the above deposits from the Revenue Fund (and from surplus Bond proceeds, if any), there scall also be deposited in the Depreciation Fund, as received, such connection fees or charges as may be exacted from users of the System, the proceeds of P71 property damage insurance (except public liability) maintained in connection with the System, and the cash proceeds of any surplus, worn out or obsolescent properties of the System, if the same be sold upon order of the Board of Commissioners according to the conditions herein- after prescribed in that connection. The term "cash revenues" of the System, as used in Section 9 hereof, means all proceeds of service charges, and does not include the cash items enumerated in this paragraph. The Depreciation Fund shall be available and may be withdrawn and used by the City, upon appropriate certification of need, for the purpose of paying the cost of unusual or extraordinary repairs, renewals or.replacements, not included in the Annual Budget of Operating Expenses, and the cost of construct- ing extensions, additions and improvements to the System which will either enhance its revenue-producing capacity or provide a higher degree of existing or prospective service. If .and when the balance in the Depreciation Fund, including the market value of investments helf for the account thereof, shall equal the sum of 5200;000.00, and so long as such balance shall remain at said sum, constituting a reserve for application to any of the enumerated purposes of the Depreciation Fund, said required monthly payments into said Fund may (but need not) cease, subject to immediate resumption in the event disbursements from said Fund for authorized Purposes shall reduce said Fund below the prescribed level. Any sums remaining in the Revenue Fund after observing the priority Of deposits set forth in paragraphs (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 9,(including any sums over and above the b2,000.00 deposit required in paragraph (D), if available), may, upon order of the Board of Commissioners be used and applied (a) for application to the Debt Service Reserve, as provided in Section 9 (B), 653 (b) to provision of a reserve in the Sower Operation and Maintenance Fund equal to the anticipated costs of operating and maintaining the System for a period of three (3) months, and (c) to the redemption of Bonds outs tanding. pursuant to this Ordinance in accordance :with their terms, or for the purchase and retirement thereof upon terms no less advantageous to the City than the then current terms of redemption. At any time when the accumulations in the Depreciation Fund shall exceed anticipated r,:d foreseeable needs far authorized purposes, all or any portion of such excass may be invested and reinvested by the City Treasurer upon written direction of the City 111a.nager in interest-bearing obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by, the United States Government, maturing or subject to redemption at the option of the holder not later than three (3) years after the d-te of investment; but as and when funds may be required for authorized purposes a sufficient portion thereof shall be converted into cash and so applied. All investments for the account of the Depreciation rind shall be carried to the credit of said Fund; all income from investments and any profit from the sale thereof shall be credited thereto; and any expenses incident to investment or reinvestment, together with any loss .from forced conversion of investments into cash, shall be charged thereto. All payments into the abovo special funds shall be made on or before the .fifteenth (15th) day of each month, except that :when the fifteenth day of any month shat) be a Sunday or a legal holiday then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day. All moneys held in any of the above special funds shall be kept apart from all other municipal funds and shall be deposited in a bank or banks which are members of FDIC, and all such deposits which cause the aggregate of all deposits of the City in any bank to be in excess of the amount secured by FDIC, shall (unless invested as herein authorized) be secured by a surety bond or bonds or by pledge of direct obligations or by guaranteed bonds or securities of the United States Government having a market value equivalent to such deposit. Section 10. The said City hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees with the holder or holders of any and all Bonds at any time issued and -outstanding pursuant to authority of this Ordinance, that so long as the same or any part thereof or interest thereon remain outstanding and unpaid: (A) It will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to said System and Project required by the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and by the terms and provisions of this Ordinance. (B) It will at all times operate said System on a revenue-producing basis, and will parmit no free services to be rendered or afforded thereby. (C) It will maintain the said System in good condition through appli- cation of revenues accumulated and set aside for operation and maintenance as herein provided; and will make unusual or extraordinary repairs, re- newals and replacements, as the same may be.required, through application of moneys accumulated and set aside into the Depreciation and Extension Fund. (D) The City covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the System facilities or any part thereof, and, except as provided for in this Ordinance, it will not create or permit to be created any charge or lien 654 on the revenues thereof ranking equal or prior to the charge or lien of these bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the.City may at any time permanently abandon the use of, or sell at fair market value, any of its System facilities, provided that: (i) It is in compliance with all covenants and undertakings in connection with all of its Bonds or other obligations then outstanding and payable from the revenues of the System, and the Debt Service Reserve for the Bonds has been fully established, or is being accumulated by monthly deposits as in this Ordinance provided; (ii) It will, in the event of sale, apply the proceeds to either (1) redemption of outstanding Bonds in accordance with the provisions governing redemption of Bonds in advance of maturity, or (2) replacement of the facility so disposed of by another facility which shall be incor- porated into the System as hereinbefore provided; (iii) It certifies, prior to any abandonment of use, that the facili- •ty. to be abandoned,is nqt -any longer economicaLg feasible of. producing net revenues; and (iv) It certified that the estimated net revenues of the remaining System facilities for the then next succeeding fiscal year, plus the estimated net revenues of the facility, if any, to be added to the System, satisfy the earnings test hereinafter provided in governing issuance of additional Bonds. (E) It will establish, enforce, and collect rates and charges for services rendered and facilities afforded by said System; and the same shall be reasonable and just, taking into account and consideration the cost..and.valu8�of:the System, the costs,,of operating the same.-amd main- taining it in a good state of repair, proper and necessary allowances for depreciation and for additions and extensions, the amounts necessary for the.orderly retirement of all outstanding Bonds and the accruing interest thereon, and the accumulation of reserves as herein provided, and such rates and charges shall be adequate to meet all such require- ments as provided in this Ordinance, and shall, if necessary, be adjusted from time to time in order to comply herewith. On or before the inception of initial operation of the Project additions to the System, the City will adopt a budget of Operating Expenses for the System for the remainder of the then current fiscal year of the System, and thereafter, on or before the first day of each fiscal year so long as any Bonds are outstanding, it will adopt an Annual Budget of Operating Expenses for the ensuing fiscal year, and will file a copy of each such Budget, and of any amendments thereto, in the office of the City Clerk, and furnish copies thereof to the holder of any Bond upon request. The term "Operating Expenses," as herein used, includes all reasonable and necessary costs of operating, repairing maintaining, and insuring the System, but shall exclude any allowance for depreciation, payments into the Depreciation Fund for extensions, improvements, and extraordinary repairs and maintenance, and payments into the Bond Fund and the Debt Service Reserve. The City cevenants that the Operating Expenses incurred in any year will not exceed the reasonable and neces- sary amounts therefor, and that it will not expend any amount or incur any obligations for operation, maintenance and repairs in excess of the amounts provided for Operating Expenses in the Annual Budget, except upon resolution or ordinance duly adopted by the Board of Commissioners deter- mining that such expenses are necessary in order to operate and maintain the System. At the same time, and in like manner, the City agrees that it will prepare an estimate of gross revenues to be derived from opera- tion of the System for each fiscal year, and to the extent that said gross revenues are insufficient to provide for all payments required to be made into the Bond Fund during such ensuing fiscal year, and to build up and maintain the reserves specified and enumerated in Section 9 of this Ordinance, and to pay Operating Expenses, the City covenants and agrees that it will revise its rates and charges for services rendered by the System, so that the same will be adequate to meet all of such require- ments. (F) It will not at any time make any reduction in any prevailing schedule of rates and charges for use of the services and facilities of the System, without first obtaining the written determination of a Con- sulting Engineer of national reputation that the proposed reduction will not adversely affect the ability of the City to meet all the requirements set forth in this Ordinance. 655 (G) It will at all times segregate the revenues'o£ the System from all other revenues, moneys, and funds of the City,.and will promptly and regularly make application and distribution thereof into the special funds provided in this Ordinance in the manner and with due regard for the priorities herein attributed thereto. (H) It will keep proper books of record and account, separate and clearly distinguishable from all other municipal records and accounts, showing complete and correct entries of all transactions relating to said System, and the same shall be available and open to inspection by any Bondholder, and any agent or representative of a Bondholder. (I) It will, within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, cause an audit to be made of the books of record and account perti- nent to the System, by an independent state -licensed accountant not in the employ of the City on a monthly salary basis, showing all receipts and disbursements, with comments of the auditor concerning whether the books and records are being kept in compliance with this Ordinance and in accordance with recognized accounting practices, and will'promptly mail a copy thereof to the original purchaser or purchasers of Bonds issued hereunder. If requested to do so, the City will furnish to any Bondholder a condensed form of the Balance Sheet, and a condensed form of the Oper- ating Report, in reasonable detail. All expenses incurred in causing such audits to be made, and copies distributed, shall constitute proper expenses of operating and maintaining the System, and may be paid from revenues allocated for such purposes, as herein provided. (J) Any holder of said Bonds, or of any of the coupons, may either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, enforce and compel performance by said City and its officers and agents of all duties imposed or required by law or this Ordinance in connection with the operation of said System, including the making and collecting of sufficient rates and segregation of the revenues and application thereof. (K) If there be any default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of said Bonds, then upon the filing of suit by any holder of said Bonds or any of the coupons, any court having jurisdiction of the action may appoint a receiver to administer said System on behalf of the City with power to charge and collect rates sufficient to provide for the payment of any Bonds or obligations outstanding against said System, and for the payment of Operating Expenses, and to apply the revenues in con- formity with this Ordinance and the provisions of said statute laws of Kentucky aforesaid. (L) The City will cause each municipal officer or other phrson (other than depository banks) having custody of any moneys administered under the provisions of this Ordinance to be bonded at all times in an amount at least equal to the maximum amount of such moneys in his custody at any time; each such bond to have surety given by a surety corporation qualified to do business in Kentucky and approved by the Board of Com- missioners, and the premiums for such surety shall constitute a proper expense of operating the System, and may be paid from moneys available in the "Operation and Maintenance Fund.,' (M) It will procure, and at all times maintain in force, insurance of all insurable -properties constituting parts of, or being appurtenant to, the System, to the full insurable value thereof, against damage or destruction by fire, windstorm, and the hazards covered by the standard "extended coverage" policy endorsements or provisions, the premiums therefor to be paid from the Operation and Zaintenance Fund; and will deposit all sums collected under the terms of .such policies in the De- preciation and Extension Fund. (N) The City covenants and agrees that according to authority of KRS 96,930, at seq, it will provide that water service to Piny premises (whethera such,water'serviceyby iurnished-by,a privately-ewaed utility company or by a municipally-oomed water system) shall be discontinued upon delinquency of payment to the City for sanitary sezrer service charges to the same premises, according to such reasonable contracts or regulations in that connection as may be effective from tine to time. (0) It will regularly employ from time to time a Consulting Engineer or firm of Consulting Engineers of national recognition in the field of sanitation engineering to make a physical inspection of the System not less often than once every five (5) years (and more often, if circum- stances so require, in the judgment of the Board of Commissioners), and to file in the office of the City Clerk a written report of the physical condition thereof, sufficiency of renewals, additions, exten- sions, enlargements, acquisitions or new installations, if any, together with a preliminary estimate of the costs thereof and availability of funds therefor, and such other comments as may in the opinion of the Engineer or Engineers be deemed necessary or appropriate. Such written reports 656 shall be kept on file in the office of the City Clerk subject to in- spection at all reasonable times by any holder of bonds or other obli- gations of the City relating to the System, and a complete copy of each such report shall be furnished without demand to the original purchasers of Bonds at each public sale thereof. Section U. The Bonds authorized to be issued hereunder and from time to time outstanding shall not be entitled to priority one over the other in the application of the revenues herein pledged for the payment thereof, regardless of the time or times of their issuance, it being the in- tention that there shall be no priority among the Bonds authorized to be is- sued under the provisions of this Ordinance, regardless of the fact that they may actually be issued and delivered at different times. No other bonds or other obligations shall be issued by the City and made payable from the reve- nues of the System unless the pledge of:revenues for the same -is expressly made subordinate and inferior to the lien and pledge herein created; provided however, said City hereby reserves the right and privilege of issuing additional Bonds, from time to time, payable from the revenues of said System, equally secured by the statutory mortgage lien upon the System, provision for which is made in KRS 96.400 (said lien being hereby acknowledged to be effective upon issuance of any Bonds under authority of this Ordinance), and secured bf a parity lien upon and ratably payable from such revenues, for the purpose of adding to, extending, or improving the System, provided in each instance that: (i) the facility or facilities to be built from the proceeds of the additional parity Bonds is or are made a part of the System and its or their revenues are pledged as additional security for the additional parity Bonds and the outstanding Bonds; (ii) the City is in compliance with all covenants and undertakings in connection with all of its Bonds then outstanding and payable from the revenues of the System or any part thereof; (iii) the annual net revenues, defined as gross sewer service reve- nues less Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 10(E) hereof), of the System for a period of twelve months immediately preceding the is- seance of additional parity Bonds, are certified by an independent state -licensed accountant not employed by the City on a monthly salary basis to have been equal to at least one and twenty-five hundredths (1.255 times the average annual requirements for principal and interest on all Bonds then outstanding and payable frcm the revenues of the System, and the parity Bonds then proposed to be issued; provided, however, that for the purposes of showing compliance with the require- ments of this paragraph, such showings of the accountant may be adjusted by an Engineer or firm of Consulting Engineers of national reputation in the field of sanitation engineering (a) to reflect any increased sewer service revenues which will be produced through the operation of extensions, additions and improvements to be financed in whole.or in part through application of the proceeds of the proposed parity Bonds, taking into account any increase or decrease of the costs of operating and maintaining the System incident thereto, but with respect to the ad- justments permitted by this sub -paragraph (b) only in the event that prior to the issuance of such parity Bonds the City shall have entered into firm contracts establishing that the costs of the proposed exten- sions, additions and improvements will not exceed the cost figures used by the Engineers in making such computations. The City hereby covenants and agrees that in the event additional series of parity Bonds are issued, it shall: - (i) adjust the monthly deposits into the Bond Fund on the same basis as that prescribed in Section 9(B) hereof to provide for the annual debt service on the additional Bonds; (ii) adjust the amount of the Debt Service Reserve to a sum equal 657 to not less than the averae annual debt service on the bonds then out- standing and such =',.diticnal p..rit,, Bonds, the additional Debt Service Reserve to be accumulated monthly in the manner hereinbefore provided, over a period of not nor:; than ten (10) years from the issuanc. of such parity Bonds; (iii) adjust the amount to be accumulated as a reserve in the Depre- ciation ilmd in the manner prescribed in Section 9(D) hereof, by either increasing, or reinstituting required monthly payments, to accrue a rea- sonably increas«d Depreciation Reserve hind, the amount to be determined by the City, upon competent, professional engineering advice and guidance, taking into account the future replac.,ment cost of the facilites and equip- ment to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of such additional Bonds; and (iv) make such additional Bonds payable as to principal on January 1 of each year in ::hich principal falls due, and payable as to interest on January- 1 and July l of each year; and schedule the principal maturities of the parity Bonds in such manner as to cause the aggregate annual principal and interest requirements of the outstanding Bonds and the parity Bonds to be as nearly equal as may be feasible, except in the case of advance re- funding according to the provisions hereinafter set forth in that connection. The additional parity Bonds (sometimes herein referred to as "permitted" to be issued), the issuance of which is restricted and conditioned by this Section, shall be understood to mean Bonds payable from the revenues of said System on a basis of equality and parity with the Bonds herein specifically authorised, and shall not be deemed to include other bonds or obligations, the security and source of payment of which are subordinate and subject to the priority of the Bonds and parity Bonds herein authorized to be issued. The City expressly reserves the right to issue its bonds or other obligations payable from the revenues herein pledged, and not ranking on a basis of equality and parity with the Bonds and parity Bonds herein otherwise referred to, without any proof of previous earnings or net reve- nues, but only if such Bonds or other obligations are issued to provide for additions of extensions or improvements of the System, and only if the same are issued in express recognition of the priorities, liens and rights created and existing for the security, source of paynrant, and protection of the said Bonds and parity Bonds herein authorized and rermitted to be issued. Nothing in this Section is intended or shall be construed to prevent or restrict: (A) the ordinary ref coding of the initially authorized Bonds, and/or of any parity Bonds which may have been issued and are outstanding under the provisions of this Ordinance, if such refunding does not operate to increase, in any year until the final maturity of the outstanding Bonds which are not refunded, the aggregate of the principal and interest requirements of the Bonds to remain out- standing and the Bonds which are refunded; or (B) any refunding of the initially authorized Bonds, and/or of any parity Bonds which may have been issued and are outstanding under the provisions of this Ordinance, more than six (6) months in advance of the earliest permissible redemption date of the outstanding Bonds or parity Bonds which are to be refunded (hereinafter referred to as "advance refunding"), if , 658 (i) prior to the issuance of the refunding bonds the City shall have elected to call the Bonds to be refunded, for redemption on the earliest permissible redemption date in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall have given notice of such action as in this Ordinance provided; and (ii) moneys sufficient for payment, when due, of the principal of and interest on the Bonds to be refunded and any premium or additional interest due upon the redemption date are simultaneously with the issuance of the refunding bonds deposited in a "Special Escrow Account" in the Bond Fund, are irrevocably pledged exclusively for the payment, redemption and retirement of the Bonds to be refunded, and are invested for the account of such Special Escrow Account either in United States Govern- ment securities or in Certificates of Time Deposit issued by an incor- porated state or national bank or trust company and fully and continuous- ly secured to maturity by a valid pledge of United States Government securities having an aggregate market value not less than the face amount of such Certificates; and (iii) the assured interest income from such investments is irrevo- cably pledged to be paid as received from time to time into the Bond Fund as in the case of revenues from sanitary sewer service charges otherwise pledged to be set aside and deposited therein; in which event the aggregate of the principal and interest requirements of the Bonds to remain outstanding and the refunding bonds so issued may, in any year or years until such redemption date, exceed the aggregate of the annual principal and interest requirements prevailing in the absence of such advance refunding, by the amount of the pledged interest income from such investments to be received and paid into the Bond Yund during such year or years.
