If the balance in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay all interest and principal then due on all bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from any fund of the City which is available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the Council covenants and agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount to take care of any accumulated or anticipated deficiency, which levy is not subject to any constitutional or statutory tax limitation. There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the "Debt Service Account" and the "Surplus Account." All money appropriated or to be deposited in the Bond Fund shall be deposited as received into the Debt Service Account. On each February 1, the Finance Director shall determine the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account. If such amount is in excess of one -twelfth of the debt service payable from the Bond Fund in the immediately preceding 12 months, the Finance Director shall promptly transfer the amount in excess to the Surplus Account. The City appropriates to the Surplus Account any amounts to be transferred thereto from the Debt Service Account as herein provided and all income derived from the investment of amounts on hand in the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account is insufficient to meet the requirements of the Bond Fund, the Finance Director shall transfer to the Debt Service Account amounts on hand in the Surplus Account to the extent necessary to cure such deficiency. 4.03. Additional Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue additional bonds payable from the Bond Fund as may be required to finance costs of the Improvements not financed hereby; provided that the City Council shall, prior to the delivery of such additional bonds, levy or agree to levy by resolution sufficient additional special assessments and ad valorem taxes, if any, which, together with other moneys or revenues pledged for the payment of said additional obligations, will produce revenues at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to pay when due the principal and interest on all bonds payable from the Bond Fund. The additional special assessments, ad valorem taxes and moneys or revenues so pledged, levied or agreed to be levied shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond Fund in the manner provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61. 4.04. Levy of Special Assessments. The City hereby covenants and agrees that for payment of the cost of each of the Improvements it will do and perform all acts and things necessary for the full and valid levy of special assessments against all assessable lots, tracts and parcels of land benefited thereby and located within the area proposed to be assessed therefor, based upon the benefits received by each such lot, tract or parcel, in an aggregate principal amount not less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost of the Improvements. In the event that any such assessment shall be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any action or proceeding taken or to be taken by the City or this Council or any of the City's officers or employees, either in the making of such assessment or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council -15-
