The Common Council now finds that temporary loans for the Funds for such purposes should be made and that temporary loan tax anticipation time warrants evidencing such loans should be issued and sold, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the provisions of Indiana law. The levy proposed for collection for each of the Funds in the year 2005 is estimated to produce in the aggregate, with respect to each such Fund, an amount equal to or in excess of the principal and interest cost of making temporary loans for such Fund. A necessity exists for the making of temporary loans evidenced by temporary loan tax anticipation time warrants for each of the Funds in anticipation of the receipt of current revenues for each such Fund levied and in the course of collection for the year 2005 and the Common Council hereby authorizes the making of temporary loans to procure the amounts necessary, in combination with other available amounts, to meet such current running expenses for each Fund and to pay necessary costs incurred in connection with the issuance and sale of temporary loan tax anticipation time warrants to evidence such temporary loans. The City has not previously issued temporary loan tax anticipation time warrants payable from tax revenues collectable in 2005 with respect to any of the Funds and the Common Council seeks to authorize the issuance of such temporary loan tax anticipation time warrants with respect to each Fund and the sale of such warrants pursuant to the provisions of Indiana Code 36-4-6, subject to and dependent upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCII. OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA: Section I.
