- 2 - The City hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the notes in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, 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 certificate on behalf of the City, for inclusion in the tran- script 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 issuance of said notes shall to the extent necessary be used only for the retirement 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. Section 10. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency mea- sure necessary for the preservation of the public peace, welfare and safety of this City, and for the further reason that the iiarnediate issuance and sale of the notes herein auuhorized is necessary to provide funds with which to retire a presently outstanding note which is about to mature and thereby protect the credit of this City; wherefore, this ordinance shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor.
