SECTION 16: Deficiencies in Funds. If in any month the
City shall, for any reason, fail to pay into the Interest and
Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund the full amounts above stipulated,
amounts equivalent to such deficiencies shall be set apart and
paid into said Funds from the first available and unallocated
revenues of the following month or months and such payments shall
be in addition to the amounts hereinabove provided to be otherwise
paid into said Funds during such month or months.
SECTION 17: Excess Revenues. Any revenues in excess of
those required to fully establish and maintain the Funds herein
provided may be used for the redemption of bonds similarly secured,
or may be transferred to the general fund of the City and used for
any lawful purpose.
SECTION 18:Security of Funds. All special Funds for
which this ordinance makes provision (except any portions thereof
as may be at any time properly invested) shall be secured in the
manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of Texas for
the security of public funds, and such Funds shall be used only for
the purposes permitted by this ordinance.
SECTION 19: Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds. In
addition to the right to issue bonds of inferior lien as autho-
rized by the laws of this State, the City reserves the right here-
after to issue additional parity bonds. The additional bonds when
issued shall be payable from and secured by a first lien on and
pledge of the net revenues of the System in the same manner and to
the same extent as are the bonds authorized by this ordinance, and
the bonds similarly secured shall in all respects be of equal
dignity. The additional bonds may be issued in one or more install
ments, provided, however, that none shall be issued unless and
until the following conditions have been met:
(a) The City is not then in default as to any
covenant, condition or obligation prescribed by this
ordinance.
(b) That each of the Funds created by this ordi-
nance contains the amount of money then required to be
on deposit therein.
(c) The net earnings of the System for (1) the
City's completed fiscal year next preceding the adop-
tion of an ordinance authorizing the issuance of the
proposed additional bonds or (2) the twelve (12) months
next preceding the adoption of such ordinance are equal
to at least one and one-fourth (1-1/4) times the aver-
age annual principal and interest requirements of all
the bonds to be secured by a first lien on and pledge
of the net revenues of the System after giving effect
to the issuance of the proposed additional bonds, as
such net earnings are shown by a report by a Certified
Public Accountant or Licensed Public Accountant, pro-
vided, however, the remain -ng bonds voLed at the elec-
tion held on January 15, 1972, which remain unissued
(in the principal amount of $402,000) may be issued at
any time without the necessity of meeting the require-
ments of this subsection. The term "net earnings" as
used in this Section 19 shall mean the gross revenues
after deducting the expense of operation and mainte-
nance, but not deducting depreciation or expenditures
which, under standard accounting practice, should be
charged to capital expenditures.
(d) The additional bonds are made to mature on
June 1 of each of the years in which they are scheduled
to mature.
(e) The ordinance authorizing issuance of the
additional bonds provides for the accumulation in the
Interest and Sinking Fund of amounts sufficient to
pay the principal of and interest on such addi-
tional bonds as same mature.
(f) The ordinance authorizing issuance of
the additional bonds provides that the amount to
be accumulated and maintained in the Reserve Fund
shall be in an amount not less than the average
annual requirement for the payment of principal of
and interest on all bonds to be secured by a first
lien on and pledge of the net revenues of the System
after giving effect to the issuance of the proposed
additional bonds, and provides that any additional
Reserve Fund amount which may thus be required shall
be accumulated within not more than five years and
one month from the date of the passage of the ordi-
nance authorizing the issuance of the proposed
additional bonds.
Bonds similarly secured may be refunded (pursuant to
any law then available) upon such terms and conditions as the
governing body of the City may deem to the best interest of the
City and its inhabitants, and, if less than all such outstanding
revenue bonds are refunded, the proposed refunding bonds shall be
considered as "additional bonds" under the provisions of this
section and the report required in subdivision (c) shall give
effect to the issuance of the proposed refunding bonds (and shall
not give effect to the bonds being refunded following their can-
cellation or provision being made for their payment.)
SECTION 20: Maintenance and Operation - Insurance.
The City shall maintain the System in good condition and operate
the same in an efficient manner and at reasonable cost. So long
as any of the bonds similarly secured are outstanding, the City
agrees to maintain insurance for the benefit of the holder or holds.
of the bonds on the System of a kind and in an amount which usually
would be carried by private companies engaged in a similar type of
business. Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring
the City to expend any funds which are derived from sources other
than the operation of the System but nothing herein shall be con-
strued as preventing the City from doing so.
SECTION 21: Records - Accounts - Accounting Reports.
The City hereby covenants and agrees that so long as any of the
bonds similarly secured or any interest thereon remain outstanding
and unpaid, it will keep and maintain a proper and complete system
of records and accounts pertaining to the cpe-ation of the System
(separate and apart from all other records and accounts) in which
complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions
relating to said System, as provided in Article 1113, V.A.T.C.S.,
and that the holder or holders of any of such bonds or any duly
authorized agent or agents of such holders shall have the right at
all reasonable times to inspect all such records, accounts and
data relating thereto, and to inspect the System and all properties
comprising same. The City further agrees that within sixty (60)
days following the close of each fiscal year, it will cause an
audit of such books and accounts to be made by an independent
firm of Certified Public Accountants or Licensed Public Accoun-
tants. Each such audit, in addition to whatever other matters may
be thought proper by the Acdountant, shall particularly include the
following:
(a) A detailed statement of the income and
expenditures of the System for such fiscal year;
(b) A balance sheet as of the end of such
fiscal year;
(c) The Accountant's comments regarding the
manner in which the City has carried out the re-
quirements of this ordinance and his recommenda-
tions for any changes or improvements in the opera-
tion, records and accounts of the System;
(d) A list of the insurance policies in force
at the end of the fiscal year on the System proper-
ties, setting out as to each policy the amount
thereof, the risk covered, the name of the insurer,
and the policy's expiration date;
(e) A list of the securities which have been
on deposit as security for the money in the Interest
and Sinking Fund throughout the fiscal year, a list
of the securities, if any, in which the Reserve Fund
has been invested, and a statement of the manner in
which money in the System Fund has been secured in
such fiscal year;
(f) The number of properties connected with
the System.
Expenses incurred in making the audits above referred to
are to be regarded as maintenance and operating expenses and paid
as such. Copies of the aforesaid annual audit shall be immediately
furnished to the Executive Director of the Municipal Advisory
Council of Texas at his office in Austin, Texas, and to the origina
holders of the bonds and any subsequent holder at his request. At
the close of the first six months' period of each fiscal year, the
City Secretary is hereby directed to furnish a copy of an operating
and income statement in reasonable detail covering such period to
any bondholder upon his request therefor received not more than
thirty (30) days after the close of said six months' period. Any
bondholder shall have the right to discuss with the Accountant
asking the annual audit the contents thereof and to ask for such
additional information as he may reasonably require.
SECTION 22: Remedies in Eent of Desault. In addition
to all the rights and remedies provi3ed by rhe laws of the State
of Texas, the City covenants and agrees particularly that in the
event the City (a) defaults in payments to be made to the Interest
and Sinking Fund or Reserve Fund, or (b) defaults in the observance
or performance of any other of the covenants, conditions or obli-
gations set forth in any ordinance authorizing the issuance of
bonds similarly secured, the following remedies shall be available:
(1) The holder or holders of any of the bonds
similarly secured shall be entitled to a writ of man-
damus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction com-
pelling and requiring the City Council and other
officers of the City to observe and perform any cove-
nant, condition or obligation prescribed in the bond
ordinance.
(2) No delay or omission 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 acquiescence therein,
and every such right and power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
The specific remedies herein provided shall be cumula-
tive of all other existing remedies and the specification of such
remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive.
SECTION 23: Special Covenants. The City hereby further
covenants as follows:
(a) That it has the lawful power to pledge
the revenues supporting this issue of bonds and
has lawfully exercised said power under the Consti-
tution and laws of the State of Texas, including
said power existing under Article 1111 et seq.,
and Article 717k-3, V.A.T.C.S.; that the bonds
similarly secured shall be ratably secured under
said pledge of income in such manner that one
bond shall have no preference over any other bond
of said issues.
(b) That other than for the payment of the
bonds similarly secured, the rents, revenues and
income of the System have not in any manner been
pledged to the payment of any debt or obligation
of the City or of the System other than made for the
bonds being refunded hereby.
(c) That, so long as any of the bonds simi-
larly secured or any interest thereon remain outstand-
ing, the City will not sell, lease or encumber the
System or any substantial part thereof, provided that
this shall not be construed to prohibit the sale of
such machinery, or other properties or equipment which
has become obsolete or otherwise unsuited to the effi-
cient operation of the System; also, with the exception
of the additional bonds expressly permitted by this
ordinance to be issued, it will not encumber the reve-
nues thereof unless such encumbrance is made junior and
subordinate to all of the provisions of this ordinance.
(d) That no free service oZ tha System shall
be allowed, and should the City or any of its agencies
or instrumentalities make use of the services and
facilities of the System, payment of the reasonable
value thereof shall be made by the City out of funds
from sources other than the revenues and imcome of
the System.
(e) To the extent that it legally may, the City
further covenants and agrees that, so long as any of
the bonds similarly secured or any interest thereon
are outstanding, no franchise shall be granted for
the installation or operation of any waterworks or
sanitary sewer systems other than those owned by the
City, and the operation of any such systems by any-
one other than the City is hereby prohibited.
SECTION 24: Bonds Are Special Obligations. The bonds
are special obligations of the City payable from the pledged reve-
nues, and the holders thereof shall never have the right to demand
payment thereof out of funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
SECTION 25: Bonds as Negotiable Instruments. Each of
the bonds herein authorized shall be deemed and construed to be
a "Security", and as such a negotiable instrument, within the
meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

the original bonds being refunded.

pal amount of bonds shall be registered by the Comptroller of
