- 2 - ~~~s.~ Section 6. Subject to the rejection of such notes by the Director of Finance for investment in the Bond Retirement Fund, such notes shall be sold by the Director of Finance at private sale at an interest rate not in excess of that specified in Section 4. The proceeds from such sale, except any premium and accrued interest, shall be paid into the proper fund and used for the purpose aforesaid and for no other purpose. Any premium and accrued interest shall be deposited in the Bond Retirement Fund. The City hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the pro- ceeds of the notes in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be nec- essary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the debt is incurred, so that they will not constitute arbitrage bonds under Section 103(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations prescribed under that section. The Director of Finance is authorized and directed to give an appropriate cer- tificate on behalf of the City, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to said Section 103(d) and regulations thereunder. Section 7. Said notes shall be the full general obligations of the City and the full faith, credit and revenue of said City are hereby pledged for the prompt payment of the same. The par value to be received from the sale of the bonds anticipated by said notes and any excess funds resulting from the is- suance of said notes shall to the extent necessary be used only for the retire- ment of said notes at maturity, together with interest thereon, and is hereby pledged for such purpose. Section 8. During the year or years while such notes run there shall be levied on all the taxable property in said City, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually not less than that which would have been levied if bonds had been issued therefor without the prior issue of said notes. Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of said years are certified, extended and collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The funds derived from said tax levies hereby required shall be placed in a separate and distinct fund, which, together with the interest collected on the same, shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal and interest of said notes or the bonds in anticipation of which they are issued when and as the same falls due. Section 9. The Clerk is hereby directed to forward a certified copy of this ordinance to the County Auditor. Sectionn 10. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the preservation of the public peace, welfare and safety of this City, and for the further reason that the immediate issuance and sale of the notes herein authorized is necessary to provide funds to re- tire an outstanding note which is about to mature and thereby protect the credit of the City; wherefore, this ordinance shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor.
