3.02. The City Administrator is directed to obtain a copy of the proposed approving <br />legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is to be <br />complete except as to dating thereof and to cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each <br />Bond. <br />Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants. <br />4.01. (a) The Bonds are payable from the Improvement and Refunding Bonds, Series <br />2003A Debt Service Fund (Debt Service Fund) hereby created, and the proceeds of special <br />assessments (Assessments) levied or to be levied for the improvements described in the <br />resolution authorizing the sale of the Bonds (Improvements) financed by the Bonds and the <br />improvements financed by the Refunded Bonds (defined hereafter) are hereby pledged to the <br />Debt Service Fund. If a payment of principal or interest on the Bonds becomes due when there <br />is not sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the City Finance Director is <br />directed to pay such principal or interest from the general fund of the City, and the general fund <br />will be reimbursed for the advances out of the proceeds of Assessments when collected. There is <br />appropriated to the Debt Service Fund (i) the amount of $2,392.10, and (ii) the accrued interest <br />paid by the Purchaser upon closing and delivery of the Bonds. <br />(b) The proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made in paragraph (a) of this <br />Section and less proceeds in the amount of $1,170,000 applied for redemption of the Refunded <br />Bonds under Section 5, together with any other funds appropriated for the Improvements and <br />Assessments and Taxes collected during the construction of the Improvements, will be deposited <br />in a separate construction fund (which may contain separate accounts for each Improvement) to <br />be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements and the payment of principal and interest <br />on the Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the Improvement. Any balance <br />remaining in the construction fund after completion of the Improvements may be used to pay the <br />cost in whole or in part of any other improvement instituted under the Act. When the <br />Improvements are completed and the cost thereof paid, the construction account is to be closed <br />and subsequent collections of Assessments for the Improvements are to be deposited in the Debt <br />Service Fund. <br />4.02. It is hereby determined that the Improvements will directly and indirectly benefit <br />abutting property, and the City hereby covenants with the holders from time to time of the Bonds <br />as follows: <br />(a) The City has caused or will cause the Assessments for the Improvements <br />to be promptly levied so that the first installment will be collectible not later than 2004 <br />and will take all steps necessary to assure prompt collection, and the levy of the <br />Assessments is hereby authorized. The City Council will cause to be taken with due <br />diligence all further actions that are required for the construction of each Improvement <br />financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of the Bonds, and will take all further actions <br />necessary for the final and valid levy of the Assessments and the appropriation of any <br />other funds needed to pay the Bonds and interest thereon when due. <br />SJB-240610v1 <br />LN 140-84 <br />
