(a) If the moneys in the Water Supply and Sewage Disposal Receiving Fund are insufficient to provide for the current requirements of the Operation and Maintenance Fund or the Bond and Interest Redemption Fund, any moneys and/or securities in other funds of the Municipal water and sewer system shall be transferred, first, to the Operation and Maintenance Fund, and second, to the Bond and Interest Redemption Fund, to the extent of any deficit therein.
(b) All cash on hand as of June 1, 1963, in any of the funds of the present water and sanitary sewer facilities of the City, after making the transfers specified in Section 1040.38(a), shall be transferred to the Receiving Fund at that time.
(c) The moneys in funds or accounts of the system may be invested in United States Government obligations, subject to the limitations provided in Act 94 of the Public Acts of 1933, as amended, and the income derived from such investments shall be credited to the fund from which such investments were made. In the case of such an investment, the securities representing the same shall be kept on deposit with the bank having the deposit of the fund or funds from which the purchase was made.
(d) Such bonds shall be sold and the proceeds applied in accordance with the provisions of Act 94 of the Public Acts of 1933, as amended.
(e) The proceeds of sale of the bonds herein authorized to be issued shall be deposited in the National Bank of Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. From the proceeds of sale of the bonds there shall be immediately transferred to the Bond and Interest Redemption Fund any premium and accrued interest paid on the bonds. There shall also be immediately deposited in trust, with The Detroit Bank and Trust Company, paying agent for the outstanding water and sewer revenue bonds dated March 1, 1941, the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), representing the principal amount of such bonds presently outstanding which will be redeemed on September 1, 1963, such sum to be held by such paying agent bank in trust and used for the purpose of redeeming such bonds on such call date. The balance of such proceeds shall be applied solely in payment of the cost of the public improvements and any engineering, legal or other expenses incident thereto and to the financing thereof. Payments for construction, either on account or otherwise, shall not be made unless the registered engineer in charge of such work files with Council a signed statement to the effect that work has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, that it was done pursuant to and in accordance with the contract therefor, and that such work is entirely satisfactory.
Any unexpended balance of the proceeds of sale remaining after completion of the public improvements may, at the discretion of Council and to the extent of fifteen percent of the amount of bonds herein authorized, be used for further improvements, enlargements and extensions to the system, provided that at the time of such expenditure, such use is 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 the redemption of callable bonds or for purchasing bonds on the open market at not more than the fair market value thereof.
(f) The City covenants and agrees with the successive holders of the bonds and coupons that so long as any of the bonds remain outstanding and unpaid as to either principal or interest:
(1) The City will maintain the system in good repair and working order, will operate the same efficiently and will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to the system required by the Constitution and laws of the State, including the making and collecting of sufficient rates for water and sewage disposal services rendered by the system and the segregation and application of the revenues of the system in the manner provided in this section.
(2) Council will cause to be maintained and kept proper books of record and account, separate from all other records and accounts, in which shall be made full and correct entries of all transactions relating to the system. Not later than three months after the close of each year, Council will cause to be prepared on forms furnished by the Municipal Finance Commission, if such forms are available, a statement in reasonable detail, sworn to by its Chief Accounting Officer, showing the cash income and disbursements of the system during each operating year, the assets and liabilities of the system at the beginning and close of the operating year and such other information as is necessary to enable any taxpayer of the City, user of the service furnished, holder or owner of the bonds, or anyone acting in their behalf, to be fully informed as to all matters pertaining to the financial operation of the system during such year. A certified copy of such statement shall be filed with the Municipal Finance Commission and such statement and books of record and account shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection by any taxpayer of the City, user of the service, holder or owner of the bonds, or anyone acting in their behalf. Council will also cause an annual audit of such books of record and account for the preceding operating year to be made by a recognized independent certified public accountant and will make such audit available to the holders of any of the bonds. Such audit shall be completed and so made available not later than three months after the close of each operating year.
(3) The City will maintain and carry sufficient insurance covering the system and the operation thereof in order to adequately protect the system against loss or damage and will apply proceeds of any insurance received to the restoration of the property destroyed or damaged and, to the extent that insurance proceeds are not used for such purpose, will deposit the same in the Bond and Interest Redemption Fund.
(4) The City will not sell, lease or dispose of the system, or any substantial part thereof, until all of the bonds have been paid in full, both as to principal and interest. The City, further, will cause the operation of the system to be carried on as economically as possible, will cause to be made to the system all repairs and replacements necessary to keep the same in good repair and working order and will not do or suffer to be done any act which would affect the system in such a way as to impair or affect unfavorably the security of the bonds. The City will not grant any franchise or right to any person, public or private, to operate a sewage disposal system or a water supply system that will in any way compete with the system. The City will cause the public improvements to be acquired promptly and in accordance with the engineer's plans and specifications therefor.
(g) The right is reserved, in accordance with the provisions of Act 94 of the Public Acts of 1933, as amended, to issue additional bonds payable from the revenues of the system, which shall be of equal standing with the bonds herein authorized, but only such bonds, for such purposes and with such conditions as are herein provided for.
(1) Bonds to complete the public improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor are hereby authorized, but such bonds shall not be authorized unless the consulting engineers or the successor engineers in charge of construction execute a certificate evidencing the fact that additional funds are needed to complete the public improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor. If such certificate is so executed and filed with the City Clerk, it shall be the duty of Council to provide for and issue additional revenue bonds in the amount stated in such certificate to be necessary to complete the public improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications.
(2) Bonds in the aggregate principal sum of not to exceed two hundred seven thousand dollars ($207,000), to be issued for the purpose of paying all or part of the cost of acquiring and constructing a trunk sanitary sewer, are hereby authorized, which bonds shall mature serially in amounts not exceeding the following:
$90,000 June 1 of each of the years 1994 and 1995; and
$27,000 June 1, 1996.
Such bonds shall be delivered to the purchaser thereof not later than three years from the date of the bonds authorized by the provisions of this chapter; if not so delivered the authority to issue such bonds shall cease. Bonds issued in accordance with this paragraph shall not be subject to the limitations provided in paragraph (g)(3) hereof.
(3) After three years from the date of the bonds authorized by the provisions of this chapter for subsequent additions, extensions and improvements to the system, other than those specified in paragraph (g)(2) hereof, additional bonds are authorized, provided that no such additional bonds shall be issued in accordance with this paragraph unless the average annual net revenues for the last two preceding completed operating years of the system, or the net revenues for the last completed operating year, whichever is lower, are equal to at least one and one-half times the largest annual principal and interest requirements thereafter maturing on the bonds herein authorized, on any then previously issued bonds of equal standing with the bonds herein authorized, and on such additional bonds then being issued. For the purpose of determining net revenues under the above requirements, if the City raises the water and/or sewer rates at the time of authorizing such additional bonds, then the net revenues of the system for each of the last two preceding operating years, or the net revenues of the last preceding fiscal year, as the case may be, shall be augmented to an amount reflecting the effect of such increase had the City's water and/or sewer billings during such years been at the increased rates. Prior to the issuance of any additional bonds pursuant to this paragraph, there shall be filed with the City Clerk a statement showing the average annual net revenues for the two preceding completed operating years, the additional or augmented revenues reflecting the application of the increased rates and the annual principal and interest requirements on all outstanding bonds payable from revenues of the system and the bonds proposed to be issued. Such statement shall be executed by a registered engineer appointed by the City. Permission of the Municipal Finance Commission (or such other State body having jurisdiction over the issuance of municipal bonds) to issue such additional bonds shall constitute a conclusive presumption of the existence of conditions permitting the issuance thereof.
Except as herein authorized, no additional bonds having equal standing with the bonds of this issue shall be authorized or issued.
