Newspaper of general circulation or in a financial journal pub-

official seal of the City or a facsimile thereof shall be impressed
or imprinted on the Bonds; provided, however, that if required by
State law at the time of such execution, the Bonds shall be

ture or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on any Bonds
shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bonds,

signature of, or may be signed by, such persons as at the actual
time of the execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers to
execute such Bond although at the date of such Bond such persons
may not have been such officers. The Bonds issued under the
provisions of this Article, the certificate of authentication, the
statement of validation, if any, the opinion certification and the
form of assignment shall be, respectively, in the following forms

Bonds. All Bonds shall be endorsed thereon with such legends or
text as may be necessary or appropriate to conform to the appli-
cable rules and regulations of any governmental authority or any
securities exchange on which such Bonds may be listed or to any
requirements of law with respect thereto.

g1v1ng of notice or both would become an event of default has

adjustments to Net Revenues may be made:
(1) If the City, prior to the issuance of the proposed
Additional Bonds, shall have increased the rates, fees,
rentals or other charges for the services of the Water and
Sewer Utility, the Net Revenues for the Measurement Period
shall be adjusted to show the Net Revenues which would have
been derived from the Water and Sewer Utility in such Measure-
ment Period as if such increased rates, fees, rentals or other
charges for the services of the Water and Sewer Utility had
been in effect during all of such Measurement Period.
(2) If the City shall have acquired or has contracted
to acquire any privately or publicly owned existing water
system or sewer system, then the Net Revenues derived from the
Water and Sewer Utility during the Measurement Period shall be
increased by addition to the Net Revenues for the Measurement
Period of the net revenues which would have been derived from
said existing water system or sewer system as if such existing
water system or sewer system had been a part of the Water and
Sewer Utility during the Measurement Period. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the Net Revenues derived from said existing
water system or sewer system during the Measurement Period

ing Bonds, or the initial rate if such Refunding Bonds bear
interest at a variable rate, determining, or providing for the
determination of, the disposition of the moneys on deposit in
the Debt Service Account and any other funds and accounts on
account of the Bonds to be refunded, and directing the
delivery of such Refunding Bonds to or upon the order of the
purchasers therein named upon payment of the purchase price
therein set forth;

the issuance of such Refunding Bonds and the application of

issuance of the Refunding Bonds will not adversely affect the
exclusion of interest on any Bonds then Outstanding from gross
income for federal income tax purposes;
(d) an opinion of the City Attorney or Bond Counsel
that the issuance of such Refunding Bonds has been duly
authorized and that all conditions precedent to the delivery
of such Refunding Bonds have been fulfilled;

that the issuance of the Refunding Bonds will result in a
decrease in total principal and Interest Requirements for all
Bonds Outstanding, or (ii) the certificates required by
clauses (c), (d) and (f) of Section 209 of this Resolution;
provided, however, that with respect to the certificates
required under clauses (c) (i) and (d), the projected Net
Revenues shall be computed for the Fiscal Year immediately
following the issuance of the Refunding Bonds.
When the documents mentioned above in this Section shall have
been filed with the City Clerk and when the Refunding Bonds
described in the resolutions mentioned in clauses (a) and (b) of

a Series Resolution relating to any Series of Bonds with respect to
such Bonds, at least thirty (30), but not more than sixty (60),

accrue and be payable on such Bonds or portions thereof so
redeemed.
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice of the
matters set forth above in this Section 303 shall be given by the

notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further
- 48 -

prepaid shall be made only upon surrender of such Bond to the Bond
Registrar. Upon surrender of such Bond, the Bond Registrar shall
cause to be executed and deliver to the registered owner thereof at
the principal office of the Bond Registrar, new duly executed
Bonds, of authorized principal sums equal in aggregate principal
amount to, and of the same maturity and interest rate as, the
unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

so designated for redemption, notice having been published and
filed in the manner and under the conditions hereinabove provided,
the Bonds so called for redemption shall become and be due and
payable at the redemption price provided for redemption of such
Bonds on such date, and, moneys for payment of the redemption price

and interest from such moneys.
For purposes of this Section 307, "Sufficient Government
Obligations" shall mean Government Obligations which are in such
principal amounts, bear interest at such rate or rates and mature
(without the option of prior redemption) on such date or dates so
that the proceeds to be received upon payment of such Government
Obligations at their maturity and the interest to be received
thereon will provide sufficient amounts in cash on the dates
required to pay the principal of and redemption premium, if any,
and the interest on the Bonds to be Paid to the dates of their

REVENUES AND FUNDS
Section 501. Water and Sewer Rates. The City covenants that
the schedules of rates for water and sewer service by the Water and
Sewer Utility will not be less than the rates required to enable
the City to comply with the requirements of Section 502 hereof. So
long as the City is in compliance with the requirements of Section
502 hereof, the City may from time to time revise the rates for
water and sewer service by the Water and Sewer utility.
Section 502. Rate Covenant. The City further covenants that
it will fix, charge and collect reasonable rates and charges for
the use of the services and facilities furnished by the Water and
Sewer Utility and that from time to time, and as often as it shall
appear necessary, it will adjust such rates and charges by
increasing or decreasing the same or any selected categories of
rates and charges so that the Net Revenues (excluding from the
computation of Current Expenses for any Fiscal Year any amount
received from any source other than Revenues and applied to the
payment of Current Expenses in such Fiscal Year) will be sufficient
to provide an amount in each Fiscal Year at least equal to one
hundred ten per centum (110%) of the principal and Interest
Requirements for such Fiscal Year on account of the Bonds then
Outstanding and one hundred per centum (100%) of all amounts
required to be deposited or paid pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and
(e) of Section 505 of this Resolution for such Fiscal Year.
If the City has covenanted to levy Special Assessments or
Impact Fees against property to be benefitted by any Improvements
(which levy is done in accordance with State law), and if, in the
case of Special Assessments, the City has pledged such Special
Assessments to the payment of Bonds or portions thereof as provided
in Section 516 hereof and if, in the case of Impact Fees, such
Impact Fees are legally available for application with respect to
Bonds or portions thereof as permitted under clause "First" of
Section 515, then the Net Revenues in any Fiscal Year for purposes
of this Section 502 shall be increased by an amount equal to eighty
per centum (80%) of the amount which the Consulting Engineers
estimate will be received from the levy of said Special Assessments
or Impact Fees, as the case may be, during such Fiscal Year, said
amount to be the installment payments on the Special Assessments or
Impact Fees, as the case may be, plus, in the case of Special
Assessments, any interest payable on the unpaid portion of the
Special Assessments during such Fiscal Year.
If in any Fiscal Year the Net Revenues shall be less than the
amount required under the preceding paragraphs of this Section,
within 30 days of the receipt of the audit report for such Fiscal
Year, the City shall either cause the Finance Director, or employ
a Rate Consultant, to review and analyze the financial status and
operations of the Water and Sewer Utility and to submit, within 60
days thereafter, a written report to the City recommending
- 54 -

"
"
";'
"
revisions of the rates, fees and charges of the Water and Sewer
Utility and the methods of operation of the Water and Sewer Utility
that will result in producing the amount so required in the
following Fiscal Year. Promptly upon its receipt of such recommen-
dations, the City shall transmit copies thereof to the City Manager
and, if such recommendations were prepared by the Rate Consultant,
the Finance Director and shall revise its rates, fees and charges,
or alter its methods of operation and take such other action as
shall conform with such recommendations.
If the City shall fail to comply with the recommendations of
the Finance Director or the Rate Consultant, as applicable, the
registered owners of not less than ten per centum (10%) in
principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding may institute and
prosecute an action or proceeding in any court or before any board
or commission having jurisdiction to compel the City to comply with
the recommendations and the requirements of the preceding paragraph
of this Section.
If the City shall comply with all recommendations of the
Finance Director or the Rate Consultant, as applicable, in respect
to its rates, fees, charges and methods of operation, the failure
of Net Revenues to meet the requirements in the first paragraph of
this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as
the Revenues, together with available moneys in the Funds and
Accounts created in Article V of this Resolution, are sufficient to
pay in cash the CUrrent Expenses and to pay the Principal and
Interest Requirements on all Outstanding Bonds and other Utility
Debt for such Fiscal Year.
Section 503. Annual Budqet. The City covenants that not
later than thirty (30) days before the end of each Fiscal Year it
will prepare a preliminary budget covering Revenues, CUrrent
Expenses, Capital Expenditures and all deposits to Funds and
Accounts required by Section 505 of this Resolution for the ensuing
Fiscal Year. Copies of each such preliminary budget shall be filed
with the Finance Director.
The City further covenants that on or before the first day of
each Fiscal Year it will finally adopt the budget covering the
above items for such Fiscal Year (herein sometimes called the
"Annual Budget"). Copies of the Annual Budget shall be filed with
the Finance Director and mailed by the City to all Bondholders who
shall have filed their names and addresses with the Finance
Director for such purpose.
If for any reason the City shall not have adopted the Annual
Budget before the first day of any Fiscal Year, the Annual Budget
for the preceding Fiscal Year shall, until the adoption of the
Annual Budget, be deemed to be in force and shall be treated as the
Annual Budget under the provisions of this Article.
- 55 -

"
The City may at any time adopt an amended or supplemental
Annual Budget for the remainder of the then current Fiscal Year and
the Annual Budget so amended or supplemented shall be treated as
the Annual Budget under the provisions of this Article. There
shall be no limitation on the nature or amount covered by any such
amendment to the Annual Budget.
The City further covenants that the amount expended for
Current Expenses in any Fiscal Year will not exceed the reasonable
and necessary amount therefor, and that it will not expend any
amount for maintenance, repair and operation of the Water and Sewer
Utility in excess of the total amount provided for Current Expenses
in the Annual Budget. Nothing in this Section contained shall
limit the amount which the City may expend for Current Expenses in
any Fiscal Year provided any amounts expended therefor in excess of
the total amount provided in the Annual Budget shall be received by
the City from some source other than the Revenues of the Water and
Sewer Utility.
Section 504. Enterorise Fund. A special fund is maintained
by the City and designated the "Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund"
(herein called the "Enterprise Fund"). Except as provided in
Article VI of this Resolution with respect to investment income on
certain Funds and Accounts, the City covenants that all Revenues
will be collected by the City and deposited as received to the
credit of the Enterprise Fund. All moneys in the Enterprise Fund
and the Accounts and Subaccounts therein shall be held by the City
in trust and applied as provided in this Article.
Section 505. Debt Service Account and Other Accounts. A
special account is hereby created within the Enterprise Fund and
designated "Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds Debt Service Account"
(herein called the "Debt Service Account"). There are hereby
created in the Debt Service Account two separate subaccounts
designated "Bond Service Subaccount" and "Redemption Subaccount".
Three additional special accounts are hereby created within the
Enterprise Fund and designated "Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds
Reserve Account" (herein called the "Reserve Account"), "Water and
Sewer Rate Stabilization Account" (hereinafter called the "Rate
Stabilization Account"), and "Water and Sewer Subordinated
Indebtedness Account" (herein called the "Subordinated Indebtedness
Account") .
It required by the terms of any Series of Additional Bonds
issued pursuant to Sections 209 or 211 of this Resolution or any
Series of Refunding Bonds issued pursuant to Section 210 of this
Resolution, the City hereby covenants to establish and maintain,
pursuant to the Series Resolution for such Additional Bonds and
Refunding Bonds, a separate Debt Service Account to provide for the
payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and
interest on such Series of Bonds or to provide within the Debt
Service Account and the subaccounts therein separate subaccounts as
required by the terms of such Bonds. To the extent required in the
applicable Series Resolution, the City hereby further covenants to

establish and maintain a separate subaccount in the Reserve Account
to be maintained solely for the benefit of the Holders of such
Series of Bonds; otherwise, all Bonds outstanding shall be secured
by amounts on deposit to the credit of the Reserve Account. If any
separate Debt Service Accounts or separate subaccounts within the
Account or the subaccounts therein or if any separate subaccounts
within the Reserve Account are created pursuant to this paragraph,
such Debt Service Accounts or separate subaccounts shall be funded
in the manner and at the times required by the applicable Series
Resolution and shall be held by the Finance Director separate and
apart from the Debt Service Accounts or the Reserve Account or
other separate subaccounts therein with respect to any other Series
of Bonds issued under this Resolution, and shall be held solely for
the benefit and security of the Series of Bonds with respect to
which such separate Debt Service Account or separate subaccounts
were created. Each such separate Debt Service Account or separate
subaccounts therein with respect to a Series shall be designated
"Series _ Debt Service Account" or "Series Subaccount,"
as the case may be, and each such separate subaccount within the
Reserve Account shall be designated "Series Reserve Subac-
count" (inserting an identifying Series year, and if more than one
Series is to be issued in a single calendar year, an identifying
Series letter).
The moneys in each of said Funds and Accounts shall be held in
trust and applied as hereinafter provided with regard to each such
Fund and Account and, pending such application, said Funds and
Accounts, other than the Subordinated Indebtedness Account, shall
be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Holders of the
Bonds issued and Outstanding under this Resolution and for the
further security of such Holders until paid out or transferred as
herein provided.
The City shall, on or before the 20th'day of the month next
succeeding the month in which Bonds are issued under the provisions
of Section 208 of this Resolution and not later than the 20th day
of each month thereafter, withdraw from amounts on deposit in the
Enterprise Fund, after retaining therein an amount (to be held in
the Enterprise Fund for the payment of CUrrent Expenses) equal to
the amount shown by the Annual Budget to be necessary for CUrrent
Expenses during the next ensuing two (2) months, the amounts
required to make the deposits described below (or if the available
amounts on deposit in the Enterprise Fund are less than the
required amounts, the entire balance (other than the amount
required to be retained therein for the payment of Current
Expenses) and deposit the amounts so withdrawn to the credit of the
following Accounts or Subaccounts in the following order:
(a) To the credit of the Bond Service Subaccount of the
Debt Service Account, an amount which, together with any
amounts concurrently deposited therein from Impact Fees
pursuant to Section 515 hereof and from Special Assessments
pursuant to Section 516 hereof, will equal one-sixth (1/6) of
the amount of interest payable on the Bonds of each Series on

the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and one- twelfth

(1/6) of the next maturing installment of principal on all
Serial Bonds then Outstanding; provided, however, that in each
month intervening between the date of delivery of Bonds
pursuant to Sections 208, 209, 210 or 211 of this Resolution
(beginning with the month following the month in which such
delivery takes place) and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date and the next succeeding principal payment date, respec-
tively, the amount specified in this subparagraph shall be
that amount which when multiplied by the number of deposits to
the credit of the Bond Service Subaccount required to be made
during such respective periods as provided above will equal
the amounts required (in addition to any amounts received as
accrued interest or capitalized interest from the proceeds of
such Bonds) for such next succeeding interest payment and next
maturing installment of principal, respectively; and, provided
further, that in the event the City has issued Variable Rate
Bonds or entered into any Interest Rate Swaps pursuant to the
provisions of this Resolution, amounts shall be deposited in
the Bond Service Subaccount at such other times and/or in such
other amounts or transferred to such other parties as neces-
sary to pay the interest becoming due on the Variable Rate
Bonds or the payments due under the Interest Rate Swaps on a
parity with interest due on the Bonds, all in the manner
provided in the applicable Series Resolutions.
(b) To the credit of the Redemption Subaccount of the
Debt Service Account, an amount which, together with any

Series then Outstanding required to be retired, in satisfac-
tion of the Amortization Requirements, if any, for such Fiscal
Year.

if any, of any balance remaining after making the deposits
under clauses (a) and (b) above (or the entire balance if less
than the required amount) as may be required to make the

month equal to the Reserve Account Deposit Requirement for
such month; provided, however, that if the Reserve Account
Deposit Requirement is being satisfied by the restoration of
any withdrawal under a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or a
Reserve Account Letter of Credit, there shall be paid to the
provider thereof such amount, if any, of any balance remaining
after making the deposits under clauses (a) and (b) above (or
the entire balance if less than the required amount), as may
be required to cause the Reserve Account Deposit Requirement
to be satisfied.

Subordinated Indebtedness during the next succeeding twelve
month period and the amount, if any, required to be deposited
in any special reserve subaccount established within the

to be deposited under the foregoing provisions of this Section, the
requirement therefor shall nevertheless be cumulative and the
amount of any deficiency in any month shall be added to the amount
otherwise required to be deposited in each month thereafter until
such time as all such deficiencies have been made up.

be made in accordance with procedures established by the City from
time to time, the Annual Budget and the covenants in Section 503 of
this Article.

for redemption.
(c) Moneys held in the Redemption Subaccount shall be
applied by the City each Fiscal Year to the retirement of
Bonds of each Series then Outstanding in the following order:
First: the Term Bonds of each such Series to the
extent of the Amortization Requirement, if any, for such
Fiscal Year for such Term Bonds, plus the applicable
premium, if any, and any deficiency in any preceding
Fiscal Years in the purchase or redemption of such Term
Bonds under the provisions of this subdivision and, if
the amount available in such Fiscal Year shall not be
sufficient therefor, then in proportion to the Amortiza-
tion Requirement, if any, for such Fiscal Year for the
Term Bonds of each such Series then Outstanding, plus
the applicable premium, if any, and any such deficiency;
Second: Term Bonds of each Series, if any, in
proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds of each such Series
originally issued; and
Third: after the retirement of all Term Bonds, if
any, Serial Bonds issued under the provisions of this
Resolution in the inverse order of their maturities and,
to the extent that Serial Bonds of different Series
mature on the same date, in proportion (as nearly as
practicable) to the principal amount of Bonds of each
Series maturing on such date.
Upon the retirement of any Bonds by purchase or redemption
there shall be filed with the Finance Director a statement briefly
describing such Bonds and setting forth the date of their purchase
or redemption, the amount of the purchase price or the redemption
price of such Bonds and the amount paid as interest thereon. The
expenses in connection with the purchase or redemption of any Bonds
shall be paid by the City from the Enterprise Fund.
Section 509. Aoolication of Monevs in Reserve Account.
Moneys held for the credit of the Reserve Account shall first be
used for the purpose of paying the interest on and the principal of
the Bonds whenever and to the extent that the moneys held for the
credit of the Bond Service Subaccount (after any transfers thereto

hereof) shall be insufficient for such purpose and thereafter for
the purpose of making deposits to the credit of the Redemption
Subaccount in respect of such Bonds pursuant to the requirements of
clause (b) of Section 505 of this Resolution whenever and to the
extent that withdrawals from the Enterprise Fund (including
transfers from the Rate Stabilization Fund as provided in Section
510 hereof) are insufficient for such purposes; provided, however,
that moneys held for the credit of a separate subaccount in the

business day immediately preceding a date on which principal is due
on Serial Bonds withdraw from the Bond Service Subaccount and
deposit in trust with the Bond Registrar the amounts required for
paying the principal of all Serial Bonds as such principal becomes
due and payable. The City, in its discretion, may make the
deposits required in this Section with the Bond Registrar by wire
transfer. In addition, amounts on deposit in the Bond Service
Subaccount shall be applied as provided in the second paragraph of
Section 514 hereof.
Section 508. Aoolication of Monevs in Redemotion Subaccount.
Moneys held for the credit of the Redemption Subaccount shall be
applied to the retirement of the Bonds issued under the provisions
of this Resolution as follows:
(a) Subject to the prov1s1ons of paragraph (c) of this
Section, the City may endeavor to purchase any Bonds secured
hereby and then Outstanding, whether or not such Bonds shall
then be subject to redemption, such purchase to be on the most
advantageous terms obtainable with reasonable diligence and at
a price not to exceed the principal of such Bonds plus the
amount of the redemption premium, if any, which might on the
next redemption date be paid to the holders of such Bonds
under the provisions of Article III of this Resolution if such
Bonds should be called for redemption on such date from moneys
in the Debt Service Account. The City shall pay the interest
accrued on such Bonds to date of settlement therefor from the
Bond Service Subaccount and the purchase price from the
Redemption Subaccount, but no such purchase shall be made by
the City within the period of forty-five (45) days next
preceding any Interest Payment Date on which such Bonds are
subject to call for redemption under the provisions of this
Resolution, except from moneys other than moneys set aside or
deposited for the redemption of Bonds.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Article III of this
Resolution and paragraph (c) of this Section, the City may
call for redemption on each Interest Payment Date on which
Bonds are subject to redemption such amount of such Bonds as,
with the redemption premium, if any, will exhaust the moneys
which will be held for the credit of the Redemption Subaccount
on said Interest Payment Date as nearly as may be; provided,
however, that not less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)
principal amount of Bonds shall be called for redemption at
anyone time unless a lesser amount shall be required to
satisfy the Amortization Requirement for any Fiscal Year.
Such redemption shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Article III of this Resolution. Except as otherwise provided
in Article XII hereof or in a resolution supplemental hereto,
the City shall during the period of five (5) business days
prior to the Redemption Date withdraw from the Bond Service
Subaccount and the Redemption Subaccount and set aside in
separate accounts or deposit with the Bond Registrar the
respective amounts required for paying the interest on, and

Reserve Account shall be applied to the foregoing purposes and in
the foregoing manner, but only for the benefit of the Series of
Bonds for which such separate subaccount was established and such
Series of Bonds shall only have a claim upon such separate
subaccount and not upon any other moneys on deposit in the Reserve
Account. If at any time the moneys held for the credit of the
Reserve Account shall exceed the Reserve Account Requirement, such
excess shall be withdrawn and deposited to the credit of the
Enterprise Fund; provided, however, that the Commission, pursuant
to the Series Resolution for any Series of Bonds hereunder may
provide for a different disposition of any such excesses which
relate to such Series of Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the required deposit
into the Reserve Account (or any subaccount therein), the City may,
with the consent of any applicable issuer of a Credit Facility or
Liquidity Facility then in effect, cause to be deposited into the
Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount therein) a Reserve
Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit for
the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds either in substitution for
all or a portion of the amount then on deposit therein, or in an
amount equal to the difference between the amount required to be
deposited in such Reserve Account and the sum, if any, then on
deposit in such Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount
therein), which Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account
Letter of Credit shall be payable (upon the giving of notice as
required thereunder) on any Interest Payment Date or redemption or
principal payment date on which a deficiency exists for the Bonds
or the Series of Bonds for which such Reserve Account Insurance
Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit was issued, which cannot
be cured by moneys in the Reserve Account or any other Fund,
Account or Subaccount held pursuant to this Resolution and
available for such purpose. In connection with the issuance of the
Series 1995 Bonds, the City shall satisfy the Reserve Account
Requirement with respect thereto by causing the Series 1995 Reserve
Policy to be provided.
If any such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit is substituted for moneys on deposit in
the Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount therein), the
excess moneys in the Reserve Account shall be applied to satisfy
any such deficiency in any of the Funds, Accounts or Subaccounts
under this Resolution, and any remaining balance shall be deemed
surplus, shall be released from the lien of this Resolution and may
be used by the City for any lawful purpose. If a disbursement is
made from a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account
Letter of Credit, the City shall be obligated, as provided in
Section 505(c), to either reinstate the maximum limits of such
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of
Credit following such disbursement or deposit into such Reserve
Account funds in the amount of the disbursement made under such
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of
Credit, or to undertake a combination of such alternatives.

Debt Service Account, the Reserve Account is then funded with one
or more Reserve Account Insurance Policies and/or Reserve Account
Letters of Credit, the City or the Bond Registrar, as applicable,
shall, on the Interest Payment Date or principal payment date or
redemption date to which such deficiency relates, draw upon or
cause to be paid under such facilities, on a pro-rata basis
thereunder, an amount sufficient to remedy such deficiency, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of such facilities and any
corresponding reimbursement or other agreement governing such
facilities; provided however, that if at the time of such deficien-

Section 603. Valuation of Investment Obliqations. In
computing the amount in any Fund or Account created pursuant to the
prov1s1ons of this Resolution, obligations purchased as an
investment of moneys therein shall be valued at the lower of (i)
par, or amortized value if purchased at other than par, or (ii)
market value, plus, in each case, accrued interest. Amortized
value, when used with respect to an obligation purchased at a
premium above or a discount below par, means the value as of any
given time obtained by dividing the total premium or discount at
which such obligation was purchased by the number of days remaining
to maturity on such obligation at the date of such purchase and by
multiplying the amount thus calculated by the number of days having
passed since such purchase, and (1) in the case of an obligation
purchased at a premium by deducting the product thus obtained from
the purchase price, and (2) in the case of an obligation purchased
at a discount by adding the product thus obtained to the purchase
price. Valuation on any particular date shall include the amount
of interest then earned or accrued to such date or any moneys or
investments in such Fund. The computation of the amount on deposit
in or credited to the Funds and Accounts created under this
Resolution and the valuation of the investments of such amount

and such computation and valuation shall not be required to be per-
formed at other times.
Section 604. Accounting for Funds. For the purposes of this
Resolution, each Fund created hereunder shall be a series of self-
balancing accounts within the book of accounts of the Water and
Sewer Utility and shall connote a segregation of accounts, which
will support special purpose disclosure reports, not to be
construed as a separate set of books of accounts.
For the purpose of investing or reinvesting, the City may
commingle moneys in the Funds and Accounts created and established
hereunder in order to achieve greater investment income; provided
that the City shall separately account for the amounts so commin-

Funds and Accounts designated herein may be deposited in a single

restricted allocations of the amounts on deposit therein for the
various purposes of such Funds and Accounts as herein provided.
The designation and establishment of funds and accounts in and by
this Resolution shall not be construed to require the establishment
of any completely independent funds and accounts but rather is
intended solely to constitute an allocation of certain revenues and
assets of the Water and Sewer Utility for certain purposes and to
establish such certain priorities for application of certain
revenues and assets as herein provided.
Section 605. Tax Covenants. The City covenants and agrees
that so long as any Bonds remain Outstanding, it shall comply with
the requirements of the Code, including any arbitrage rebate
covenants in connection with the issuance of any Series of Bonds,
except to the extent that to not so comply would, in the opinion of
Bond Counsel, not result in the interest payable on such Bonds
being included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes to
the Holders thereof under the Code. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or otherwise, the City shall not be
required to comply with the covenants herein contained to the
extent that interest on any Bonds issued hereunder shall be
intended by the City, on the date of issuance of such Bonds, to be
included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes to the
Holders thereof under the Code. In connection with the issuance of
the Series 1995 Bonds and for the purpose of complying with the
arbitrage rebate covenants relating thereto, there is hereby
created a special fund designated "Series 1995 Arbitrage Rebate
Fund" which shall be held by the City and constitute an Arbitrage
Rebate Fund under this Resolution.

Section 710. Separate Systems. The Commission may by reso-
lution determine to own and operate Separate Systems; provided,
however, that prior to the adoption of any such resolution desig-
nating any facilities as a Separate System, there shall be deli-
vered to the City Manager a certificate of the Finance Director
containing his determination that the ownership and operation of
such Separate System will not have a material adverse impact on the
Net Revenues of the Water and Sewer Utility and stating his reasons
for such determination.
The City may incur Utility Debt to acquire or improve Separate
Systems without compliance with any test or limit contained in the
Resolution so long as such is payable solely from the revenues
generated by such Separate System and the holders of such Utility

of the Water and Sewer Utility. The revenues, current expenses and
debt service associated with such Separate System and any Utility
Debt of the City incurred therefor shall not be included in
Revenues, Current Expenses and Principal and Interest Requirements,
each as defined in this Resolution.
Any such Separate System may be consolidated with the Water
and Sewer Utility upon demonstration of compliance with the tests
for the incurrence of Additional Bonds contained in clause (c) of
Section 209 of this Resolution. In determining compliance with the
test mentioned above, the revenues and current expenses of the
Separate System shall be included in computing Net Revenues and the
debt service on any Utility Debt payable from revenues of such
Separate System shall be included in Principal and Interest
Requirements. Prior to any such consolidation, compliance with the
tests set forth in clause (c) of Section 209 shall be demonstrated
regardless of whether there shall be any Utility Debt outstanding
with respect to such Separate System.

within not later than ninety (90) days. This covenant shall not,
however, prevent the City from causing any connection to be shut
off sooner if permitted by law.

the sale, lease or other disposition of such property will not
have an adverse impact on the Net Revenues and stating his
reasons therefor. In determining whether to render such
report, the Consulting Engineers or the Rate Consultant shall
consider the usefulness of the assets to be disposed of to the
operations of the Water and Sewer Utility, the uses to be made
of any proceeds of a sale and the rental income to be received
with respect to any lease thereof. The proceeds of a sale
pursuant to this clause (b) shall be applied as described in

obligations, including the Bonds, set forth above, and only
after all such obligations shall have been paid or full
provision for their payment been made, shall the City apply

and Sewer Utility shall be consummated nor shall the proceeds
of any such sale be applied unless prior to such consummation
or application, there shall be delivered an opinion of Bond

principal of the Bonds, to the purchase and retirement of
Bonds and to the redemption of Bonds, all in accordance with
the provisions of Article V of this Resolution.

interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds, without preference or
priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal
or of any installment of interest over any other installment of
interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to
the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the
persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or preference
except as to any difference in the respective rates of interest
specified in the Bonds.

declared due and payable and if such declaration shall thereafter
have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of Section
803 of this Article, then, subject to the provisions of paragraph

provisions of this Section, such moneys shall be applied by the
City at such times, and from time to time, as the City in its sole
discretion shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such
moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional
moneys becoming available for such application in the future; the
deposit of such moneys with the Bond Registrar, or otherwise
setting aside such moneys, in trust for the proper purpose, shall
constitute proper application by the City; and the City shall incur
no liability whatsoever to any Bondholder or to any other person
for any delay in applying any such funds, so long as the City acts
with reasonable diligence, having due regard to the circumstances,
and ultimately applies the same in accordance with such provisions

remedy given hereunder.

any Bondholder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and

other instrument in writing required or permitted by this Resolu-

executed by such Bondholders or their attorneys or legal rep-
resentatives. Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of
the ownership of Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Resolution and shall be conclusive in favor of the City with regard

any such instrument may be proved by the verification of any
officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has
power to take affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the
effect that such instrument was subscribed and sworn to before

that the Bond Registrar's failure to so designate any
payment or issue any replacement Series 1995 Bond shall
have no effect on the amount of principal or interest
payable by the City on any Series 1995 Bond or the
subrogation rights of the Series 1995 Bond Insurer.

The Bond Resolution and the Bond Pmchase Agreement bas been drafted by the City's Bond
Counsel, Luis Reiter from Squire, Sanders and Dempsey, The resolution has been reviewed
by the City Attorney's Office and the Finance Department, the investment bankers, Paine

mnnicipal bond insurer Financial Security Assurance, the mnnicipal rating agencies and the
financial advisor to the City, Bear, Steams.
Description of the System
The City of Miami Beach owns, operates and maintains the potable water system which
serves the residents of the City, The water system in the City of Miami Beach consists of 157
miles of water mains ranging from 6 inches in diameter to 36 inches in diameter. Over 50"10
of these lines have been in service for over 40 years. The system contains five water booster
pump stations with a sixth station planned for Terminal Island and four welded steel ground
storage tanks, The system contains 958 fire hydrants, 622 fire lines and has over 23,000
valves of various sizes, These are 11,415 service connections which are all metered.
Because the City is located on a barrier island surrounded by salt water, it was not
practicable or economical for the City to develop its own water supply system. The least
costly and highest quality water in the area comes from the Biscayne Aquifer located on the
mllinhmd from wells owned and operated by the Dade County Water and Sewer Department.
The water service to the City comes from four large diameter pipes located on each of the
causeways. Each of the pipes are metered and the City is billed for the water passing through
the four pipes at wholesale rates.
The City also owns, maintains and operates the sewer coll<<:tion system in the City. The
system consists of 152 miles of lines, including gravity sewers and pressurized force mains,
In addition there are 23 wastewater pump stations, The sewer system is connected to the
Central District wastewater treatment plant located on Virginia Key by way of a subaqueous
" '
'\
.
54 inch force main under Government Cut. The flow from this line is metered and is the
basis for the charge to the City from Dade county for sewer treatment.
Description of the Project
The City's consultants, Camp Dresser & McKee, have examined the water system and
recommend five categories of improvements for the system. These five categories are: (1)
upgrading of the five existing water booster pump stations and the construction of a sixth
water booster pump station on the Tenninal Island; (2) rehabilitation or replacement of the
four water ground storage tanks; (3) miscellaneous water mains repIacements and extensions;
(4) replacement of approximately 82,600 feet of undersized galvanized iron water pipe; and
(5) c)....ning and cement lining a conservatively estimated length of 335,000 of unlined 6 and
8 inch cast iron pipe.
(1) Two of the water booster pump stations are designed to transfer water from the four
ground storage facilities at 25th Street and 75th Street. The other three existing booster
stations on Belle Isle, 41st Street and Normandy Isle are designed to transfer water from the
supply lines on the Venetian Causeway, Julia Tuttle Causeway and the 79th Street Causeway
into the supply network. The addition of the sixth booster pump station (currently under
design) on Terminal Island will provide the 15 pumps in these stations with a theoretical
capacity which is well above the maximum high range day demand of 46 million gallons per
day even with the capacity reserve for fire suppression of 6,000 gallons per minute,
(2) Two of the ground storage water tanks are located at the 25th Street Public Works
Yard and the other two tanks are located at the 75th Street booster pump station, The two
tanks at the 75th Street location have a capacity of 4,6 million gallons each and are 40 and
45 years old. The two tanks at the 25th Street location have capacities of 3.2 and 4,6 million
gallons and were in existence prior to 1947, each with an estimated age of over 50 years, All
of these tanks with a total capacity of ] 7 million gallons are of welded steel and would
,,"
require approximately $700,000 each to sandblast and repaint due to the fact that the existing
paint is lead based and is now considered a hazardous waste, New paestressed concrete water
storage tanks which require lower maintenance costs can be built for slightly more than the
cost of repairing the existing the over 40 year old tanks currently in service, The proposed
project will replace all four of these tanks,
(3) The project will replace all of the undersized 6 inch water mains south of 5th Street,
extend the 8 inch water main to the Sunset Jslands, replace the main at Normandy Drive and
Bay Drive, install new interconnects on the 24 inch main in Dickens and Bryon Avenues,
replace the main in Island Avenue on Belle Isle, extend the main in Bay Road., extend the
main in Drexel Avenue and extend the water mains in the Lincoln Road area. These projects
are necessary to insure water quality, pressure and fire flow,
(4) This portion of the project will replace the estimated 82,600 feet of galVllni7~ iron
water mains that were installed in the 1950's and 1960's with ductile iron lined water pipe
which is the state of the art for Miami Beach conditions, This project will be spread over a
five year period in approximately equal amounts in order to minimi7.e the amount of ditching
that will be required in anyone area in anyone year.
(5) The project will clean and cement line approximately 335,000 feet of unlined cast iron
and ductile iron pipe, This project can be accomplished without major excavation and will
be accomplished without any major disruption in traffic flow. In addition to restoring a free
flow through these pipes, this project will also repair any line breaks that are causing potable
water to leak from the system, The estimates of lost potable water due to leaks is 9 percent
of the total water purchased which is approximately $750,000 in lost revenue at current rates,
The improvements recommended for the sewer system are to improve the sewer pump
stations and to improve the gravity collection system to reduce infiltration (leakage from
ground water) into the system. The improvements to the pump stations are mainly to raise
the electrical equipment above the 100 year flood level in stainless steel cases. In a few of
the stations this will require the construction of new buildings to house the electrical
transformers or emergency generators, These buildings are being designed by Benard
Zyscovish in order to insure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhoods,
The improvements to the gravity sewers are being prioritized to the areas with the most
infiltration into the sewer system, As all of the ground water that enters the sewer system
costs the City and its residents for its treatment, those areas that have been identified as
having the greatest amount of infiltration will be repaired first. It is anticipated that after the
first two years of this program, the amount of infiltration will be reduced from 8 million
gallons per day to 3 million gallons per day. The estimates are that this first phase will
reduce the operational cost of the sewer system by $2 million annually by reducing the
amount sent to Dade County for treatment with the further elimination estimated to reduce
an additional $1 million annually when the repair program is completed.
Debt Service Costs Effect on Water and Sewer Rates
Ths team of investment bankers and our financial advisor have been working to produce a
debt service structure that will be the least costly to the customers of the systems, The bonds
will be issued on a twenty year level debt service basis to mitigate any subsequent rate
adjustments to our customers, The rate adjustment that is proposed will have an overall effect
of adjusting rates 15 percent effective June 1, 1995.. Included in that adjustment is the
projected 20"10 rate increase that Dade County is anticipated to enact effective October 1,
1995. Approximately 60% of the operational expenses of the Water and Sewer system is the
payment to Miami-Dade W ASD which translates their 20"10 rate increase into a 12%
passtbrough adjustment to our customers ifimplemented on October 1, 1995. By instituting
this rate adjustment at this time, the amount of this passthrough adjustment can be reduced
to 9%, To properly fund the capital projects enumerated above a 6% adjustment with an
effective 9"10 rate adjustment coming from Dade County is necessary, The Administration
proposes that the City only adjust rates annually and we do not intend to come back to the
Commission in October, 1995 for an additional rate increase unless Dade County imposes
an additional surcharge for landfill closure costs as has been discussed previously in relation
to the Ojus settlement.
The City's consultants have_also reviewed the metered water and sewer rates in the system
and recommended a rate adjustment to provide for the debt service costs for the first phase
of this project estimated to begin this summer, This rate adjustment also provides for the
anticipated rate adjustment that will be enacted by Dade County with an effective date of
October 1, 1995. By implementing this rate adjustment at this time, the City will be able to
mitigate the amount of the rate adjustment and not have to propose another adjustment until
1996.
Conclusion
The City of Miami Beach has allowed its water and sewer system to deteriorate for many
years, In order to provide adequate water service, continue providing adequate fire protection
and eliminate infiltration into the sewer system this project must be implemented, These
repairs are extensive but will only cost more if put off further, The City is making these
repairs with a costlbenefit analysis in mind, The projects and proposed financing have been
extensively studied by the City's consultants Camp Dresser & McKee, Kimley Horn and
Rachlin Cohen and Holtz as well as the Finance! Capital Improvements Committee. The City
will first correct those problems that save as much as possible so that the total project will
be done with the least financial impact to our customers, For these reasons we recommend
approval of the project, the rate adjustment and the issuance of this Water and Sewer
Revenue Bond issue,

procedures. DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The
Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose
ac('()uuts the Securities are credited on the record date (identilled in a listing attached to the Omnibus
Proxy),
8. Principal and interest payments on the Securities will be made to DTC, DTC's practice is to credit
Direct Participants' accounts on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on
DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on payable date,
Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practi~'Cs. as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer fonn or registered in
"street name: and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC. the Agent, or the
Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in e/Tect from time to time,
Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Agent, disbursement
of such pa)ments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC. and disbursement of such
payments to the Benellcial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants,
[9. A Benellcial CAmer shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered. through
its Participant. to the [TenderlRernarketing] Agent, and shall e/Tect delivery of such Securities by causing
the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Securities, on DTC's records. to the
[TenderlRemarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with a
demand for purchase or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in
the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records.]
10, DTC may discontinue providing its se"ices as securities depository with respeclto the Securities
at any time by gi\ing reasonable noti~'C to the Issuer or the Agent. Under such circumstances, in the
event that a sUCl.'Cssor securities depository is not obtained. Security certillcates are required to be
printed and delivered,
I I. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system ofbook-enhy transfers through DTC (or
a su~'('Cssor se<'Urities depository). In that event. Security certificates will be printed and delivered.
12, The infonnation in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entl)' system has been obtained
from soun'Cs that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.

APPENDIX A - Book-Entry-Only (BEO) Securities
DTC seeks from issuers a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations whereby the issuer agrees to
comply with requirements stated in these Operational Arrangements, as they may be amended from
time to time, DTC requires that it receive said letter only once from an issuer for all its future
issues disrributed through DTC. (please refer to page 23 for a sample Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations,)
The standards found in this Appendix A, and in other BEG Appendices listing additional
standards necessary to address specific issue types, mirror the standards represented to DTC in its
preprinted Letter of Representations,
The following standards apply to all BEO issues:
1, One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each]
in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If,
however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $200 million, one certificate
will be issued with respect to each $200 million of principal amount and an additional
certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue,] Each
$200 million bond certificate will bear the following legend:
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depositoty Trust
Company, a New York corporation CDTC") to issuer or its agent for registration of transfer,
exchange, or payment and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co, or in
such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is
made to Cede & Co, or to such other enny as is requested by an authorized representative of
DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co" has an interest herein,
2, In the event of a redemption, acceleration, or any other similar transaction (for example, a
tender made and accepted in response to issuer's or agent's invitation) necessitating a
reduction in the aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding or an advance refunding of
parr of the bonds outstanding, DTC, in its discretion: (a) may request issuer or agent to issue
and authenticate a new bond certificate or (b) may make an appropriate notation on the bond
certificate indicating the date and amount of such reduction in principal except in the case of
final maturity, in which case the certificate will be presented to issuer or agent prior to
payment if required,
3, DTC may direct issuer or agent to use any other telephone number or address as the number
or address to which notices or payments of interest of principal may be sent,
4, In the event that issuer determines that beneficial owners of bonds shall be able to obtain
certificated bonds, issuer or agent shall notify DTC of the availability of bond certificates. In
such event, issuer or agent shall issue, transfer and exchange bond certificates in appropriate
amounts, as required by DTC and others,
5, DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the
bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to issuer or agent (at which time DTC will
confirm with issuer or agent the aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding), Under
Rev:1YIU'H
"
such circumstances, at DTC's request issuer and agent shall coopenlte fully with DTC by
taking appropriate action to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing
bonds to any DTC Participant having bonds credited to its DTC accounts,
6, Nothing herein shall be deemed to require agent to advance funds on behalf of issuer,
7, Issuer: (a) understands that DTC has no obligation to, and will not, communicate to its
Participants or to any person having an interest in the securities any information contained in
the security certificate(s) and (b) acknowledges that neither Participants nor any person
having an interest in the securities shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of the
security certificate(s) by virrue of submission of such certificate(s) to DTC.
8. Issuer, remarketing agent, tender agent, paying agent, or trustee sending notices or requests
to DTC shall have a method to verify subsequently the use of the means to deliver such
notices and requests to DTC, and timeliness of receipt of them by DTC.
In conjunction with the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, issuers through counsel, may
wish to add standard language for certain situations - and as needed it may be submitted as a rider
to the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, These riders will apply for all future issues with
similar processing traits,
Note: In lieu of a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, DTC requires that it receive a separate Letter of
Representations on DTC's preprinted form prior to each BEG issue's being made eligible.
