Redemption Fund Account," as hereinafter specified.
[Comp. Ords. 1995, § 25.008; Ord.

(a) The issuer's Treasurer shall be custodian of all funds belonging
to and/or associated with the system and such funds shall be deposited
in Inter-City Bank (Baroda branch), Benton Harbor, Michigan (the "depository
bank"), which bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In the event that the government is a holder of any of the bonds herein
authorized, all monies in excess of $15,000 in the supervised bank
account shall be secured by the depository bank in advance in accordance
with United States Treasury Department Circular No. 176 and the issuer's
Treasurer shall execute a fidelity bond in an amount not less than
$20,000 with a surety company approved by the FmHA, and the FmHA and
the issuer shall be named as co-obligees in such bond and the amount
thereof shall not be reduced without the prior written consent of
the FmHA. The issuer's Treasurer is hereby directed to create the
following funds and accounts into which the bond proceeds and the
revenues and income from the system shall be deposited, which account
shall be established and maintained except as otherwise provided,
so long as any of the bonds hereby authorized remain unpaid.
(1)
Construction account.
a.
The proceeds of the bonds hereby authorized and a sum from funds
on hand of not less than the amount necessary to complete the cost
of the project shall be deposited in the construction account in the
depository bank. In the event the government is a holder of any of
the bonds herein authorized, then said account shall be established
as a supervised bank account and such proceeds shall be withdrawn
on the orders of the issuer only on checks signed by its Treasurer
and countersigned by the county supervisor of the FmHA. Said monies
shall be used solely for the purposes for which the bonds were issued.
b.
Any unexpended balance of the proceeds of sale remaining after
completion of the project herein authorized may in the discretion
of the issuer, to the extent of 15% of the amount of the bonds authorized
by this division, be used for further improvements, enlargements and
extensions to the system, provided that at the time of such expenditure
such use be approved by the Municipal Finance Commission. Any remaining
balance after such expenditure shall be paid into the Bond and Interest
Redemption Fund and shall be used for such purposes as allowed by
law.
c.
In the event that the government is a holder of any or all of
the bonds, any unexpended balance of the proceeds of the sale remaining
after completion of the project herein authorized shall be paid immediately
into the Bond and Interest Redemption Fund as hereinafter specified
and shall be used only for the redemption, or purchase at not more
than the fair market value, of outstanding bonds issued pursuant to
the provisions of this division.
d.
After completion of the project and disposition of remaining
bond proceeds, if any, pursuant to the provisions of this section,
the construction account shall be closed.
(2)
Water system receiving fund account.
a.
Upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this division
is derived, the gross income and revenue shall be set aside into a
separate account to be designated the Water System Receiving Fund
Account, and monies so deposited therein shall be expended and used
only in the manner and order as follows:
1.
Operation and maintenance account. Prior to the beginning of
each fiscal year the issuer will prepare an annual budget of said
system for the ensuing fiscal year itemized on the basis of monthly
requirements, a copy of such budget shall be mailed without request
to the FmHA as long as the government is holder of any of said bonds
prior to adoption for review and upon written request to any other
bondholders. Upon the effective date of the ordinance from which this
division is derived, there shall be set aside and deposited each quarter
pursuant to the budget a sufficient portion of the income and revenue
in the Operation and Maintenance Account to pay the reasonable and
necessary current expenses of administration, operating and maintaining
said system for the ensuing quarter.
2.
Water system revenue bond, bond and interest redemption fund.
i.
After the transfer required in Subsection (2)a.1 of this section,
there shall be transferred each quarter from the Water System Receiving
Fund Account, before any other expenditures or transfer therefrom,
and deposited in the Water System Revenue Bond — Bond and Interest
Redemption Fund Account for payment of principal and interest on the
bonds a sum equal to at least one-half of the amount equal to the
interest due on the next ensuing interest due date and beginning January
1, 1980 not less than one-fourth of the principal maturing on January
1, 1981, and January 1 of each year thereafter. A sufficient amount
to pay principal due January 1, 1980, shall be similarly transferred.
If for any reason there is a failure to make such quarterly deposit
then an amount equal to the deficiency shall be set aside and deposited
in the Redemption Fund Account of the net revenues in the ensuing
quarter or quarters, which amount shall be in addition to the regular
quarterly deposit required during such succeeding quarter.
ii.
There is hereby established in the Bond and Interest Redemption
Fund a separate account to be known as the Bond Reserve Account, into
which there shall be paid in equal quarterly installments from the
revenues of the System after provision has been made for the Operation
and Maintenance Fund and the current requirements of the Bond and
Interest Redemption Fund, the sum of at least $500 per quarter until
there is accumulated in such fund the sum of $20,000. Except as hereinafter
provided, no further deposits need be made into the Bond and Interest
Redemption Fund for the purposes of the Bond Reserve Account once
the sum of $20,000 has been deposited therein. The monies in the said
Bond Reserve Account shall be used solely for the payment of the principal
and interest on said bonds as to which there would otherwise be default.
iii. If, at any time, it shall be necessary to use
monies in the Bond Reserve Account for such payment, then the monies
so used shall be replaced from the net revenues first received thereafter
which are not required by this division to be used for operation and
maintenance or for current principal and interest requirements.
iv.
No further payments need be made into the Bond and Interest
Redemption Fund after enough of the bonds have been retired so that
the amount then held in said fund (including the Bond Reserve Account),
is equal to the entire amount of principal and interest which will
be payable at the time of maturity of all the bonds then remaining
outstanding.
3.
General purpose account. The balance of income and revenue,
after the transfers required in Subsections (2)a.1 and 2 of this section
have been made, shall be deposited to a general purpose account which
account shall be used and disbursed only for the purpose of paying
the cost of repairing or replacing any damage to the system which
may be caused by any unforeseen catastrophe, for making extensions
or improvements to the system, and when necessary for the purpose
of making payments of principal and interest on the bonds hereby authorized
if the amount in the Redemption Fund Account and Bond Reserve Account
is not sufficient to meet such payments, then these funds shall be
transferred to the Redemption Fund. The total of such deposits to
the General Purpose Account and balance of said account need not exceed
the sum of $20,000. The funds in the General Purpose Account may be
invested in accordance with state law. Any such investment will be
a part of the general purpose account.
4.
Surplus monies. Whenever there shall accumulate in the Redemption
Fund Account amounts in excess of the requirements during the next
18 months for paying the principal of bonds falling due and interest
on outstanding bonds, and in excess of the requirements of the Operation
and Maintenance Account and the Reserve Account hereinafter established,
such excess may be used by the issuer for redemption of bonds in the
manner set out in Subsection (2)b of this section.
b.
All monies remaining in the Receiving Fund at the end of any
operating year after satisfying the requirements of Subsection (2)a
of this section shall be transferred to the Bond and Interest Redemption
Fund and used to call bonds for redemption, or at the option of the
issuer transferred to the General Purpose Account and used for the
purpose of which said account was established: Provided, however,
that if there should be a deficit in the Operation and Maintenance
Fund, Bond and Interest Redemption Fund or the General Purpose Account,
on account of defaults in setting aside therein the amounts hereinbefore
required, then transfers shall be made from such funds remaining in
the Receiving Fund to such funds in the priority and order named,
to the extent of such deficits. Surplus monies may be used to retire
junior bond issues.
