ORDINANCE NO. O 1
An Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana;
Amending and Restating Ordinance No. 9027-99 Concerning the Construction
of Improvements to the Municipal Waterworks of the City of South Bend, Indiana;
Authorizing the Issuance of Revenue Bonds for such Purpose in the Principal
Amount not to exceed Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000);
Addressing Other Matters Connected Therewith, Including the Issuance of Notes
in Anticipation of Bonds; and Repealing Ordinances Inconsistent Herewith
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana (the "City") adopted
Ordinance No. 9027-99 on August 23, 1999 (the "Original Ordinance") authorizing the issuance of
bonds to pay for costs of the Project (as hereinafter defined).
The Common Council (the "Council") of the City now desires to amend and restate
the Original Ordinance through the adoption of the provisions of this ordinance (the "Amended
Ordinance").
The City has heretofore established, constructed and financed a municipal waterworks
and now owns and operates said works pursuant to I.C. 8-1.5, as amended, and other applicable laws
(together, the "Act").
The City's Municipal Waterworks Utility is subject to the authority and regulation
of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission ("IURC") and has not withdrawn from the ]URC's
authority and regulation. The City will receive IURC approval prior to issuance of the 2000 Bonds
(as hereinafter defined).
The Council now finds that certain improvements to said works are necessary; and
that plans, specifications and estimates have been prepared and filed by the engineers employed by
the City for the acquisition and construction of said improvements (as described more fully on in
Exhibit A) (the "Project"), which plans and specifications or other pertinent information have been
or in a timely fashion will be submitted to all government authorities having jurisdiction, particularly
the Indiana Department of Environmental Management ("IDEM"), if and to the extent IDEM
approval is required under Indiana law, and have been or will be approved by the aforesaid
government authorities and are hereby incorporated herein by reference and open for inspection at
the office of the clerk of the City as required by law.
The City has obtained engineer's estimates of the costs for the construction of the
Project, and on the basis of said estimates, the estimated cost of the Project, including incidental
expenses, will not exceed the amount of $2,425,000.
The Council finds that there are not available sufficient funds of the works to
construct the Project, and that revenue bonds shall be issued to pay for costs of the Proj ect, including
incidental expenses.
The Council finds that there are now outstanding bonds issued on account of the
works and payable out of the revenues therefrom designated as the "Waterworks Revenue Bonds of
1997" dated December 1, 1997 (the "1997 Bonds") originally issued in the amount of $22,500,000
authorized by Ordinance No. 8801-97 adopted by the Council on June 23, 1997 (the "1997
Ordinance"), now outstanding in the amount of $20,125,000.
The Council finds that there are also now outstanding bonds issued on account of the
works and payable out of the revenues therefrom designated as the "Waterworks Revenue Bonds of
1993" dated November 1,1993 (the "1993 Bonds") (the 1997 Bonds and the 1993 Bonds together,
the "Prior Bonds"), originally issued in the amount of $5,100,000 authorized by Ordinance No.
8318-92 adopted by the Council on November 23, 1992, as amended by Ordinance No. 8419-93
adopted by the Council on September 27,1993 (the "1993 Ordinance") (the 1997 Ordinance and the
1993 Ordinance together, the "Prior Ordinances"), now outstanding in the amount of $3, 640,000.
The Prior Bonds constitute a first charge upon the Net Revenues (as hereinafter
defined).
-The Prior Ordinances provide that the City may authorize and issue additional bonds
payable out of the Net Revenues ranking on a parity with the Prior Bonds for the purpose of
financing the cost of future additions, extensions and improvements to the works subject to the
provisions of Section 19 of the 1993 Ordinance and Section 20 of the 1997 Ordinance.
The conditions precedent to the issuance of additional Prior Ordinances set forth in
the Prior Ordinances, as described above, have been satisfied.
The City intends to make application to the State Revolving Loan Fund for the State
of Indiana for a low interest loan in connection with the Project.
The City will enter into a Financial Assistance Agreement (as hereinafter defined)
with the State of Indiana, pertaining to the Project and the financing thereof.
The City desires to authorize the issuance of a bond anticipation note or notes
hereunder, if necessary, payable from the proceeds of the revenue bonds authorized herein (the
"BANS"), and to authorize the refunding of said BANS, if issued.

The Council now finds that all conditions precedent to the adoption of an ordinance
authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds and BANS have been complied with in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Act.

bonds, for the purpose of procuring funds to be applied to the costs of the Project, including without
limitation reimbursement ofpreliminary expenses related thereto and all incidental expenses incurred
in connection therewith (all of which are deemed to be a part of the Project), and the costs of selling
and issuing the 2000 Bonds and funding a debt service reserve as described herein. The 2000 Bonds
shall rank on a parity for all purposes with the Prior Bonds.
The 2000 Bonds shall be issued in denominations of One Dollar ($1.00) or integral
multiple thereof, numbered consecutively from 1 upward, and dated as of the first day of the month
in which they are sold, or the date of delivery if sold to the State of Indiana or Indiana Bond Bank,

annum if sold by a public sale pursuant to I.C. 5-1-11. Interest shall be payable semiannually on
January 1 and July 1 in each year, beginning on the first interest payment date after 2 years from the
date of issuance of the 2000 Bonds if the 2000 Bonds are sold to the Indiana Bond Bank or the State
of Indiana, as set forth in the Financial Assistance Agreement to be entered into between the City
and the State of Indiana (the "Financial Assistance Agreement") in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B. In the event the 2000 Bonds are sold by public sale pursuant to I.C. 5-1-1 1, the
first interest payment date shall be the first January 1 or July 1 following the date of issuance of the

Bank, or substantially as set forth on Exhibit D if the 2000 Bonds are sold by a public sale pursuant
to I.C. 5-1-11, with such changes as are finally determined by the Mayoras the executive ofthe City

maturity shall be made by lot. Sinking fund redemption payments shall be made in a principal
amount equal to such serial maturities, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, but without
premium or penalty. For all purposes of this Amended Ordinance, such mandatory sinking fund
redemption payments shall be deemed to be required payments of principal which mature on the date
of such sinking fund payments. Appropriate changes shall be made in the definitive form of 2000
Bonds, relative to the form of 2000 Bonds contained in this Amended Ordinance, to reflect any
mandatory sinking fund redemption terms.

works after deduction only for the payment of the reasonable expenses of operation, repair and
maintenance) of the works (the "Net Revenues"). The City shall not be obligated to pay the 2000
Bonds or the interest thereon except from the Net Revenues, and the 2000 Bonds shall not constitute
an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of the provisions and limitations of the constitution
of the State of Indiana.
Except as set forth in the following paragraph, all payments of interest on the 2000
Bonds shall be paid by check mailed one business day prior to the interest payment date to the
registered owners thereof as of the fifteenth (15th) day of the month preceding the interest payment

$1,000,000 or more in principal amount of 2000 Bonds shall be entitled to receive interest payments
by wire transfer by providing written wire instructions to the Paying Agent before the Record Date
-4-
for any payment. All principal payments and premium payments, if any, on the 2000 Bonds shall
be made upon surrender thereof at the principal office of the Paying Agent, in any U.S. coin or
currency which on the date of such payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts, or in the case of a registered owner of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of 2000
Bonds, by wire transfer on the due date upon written direction of such owner provided at least fifteen

2000 Bonds or BANs, such 2000 Bonds and BANs shall be presented for payment as directed by
the State.
Interest on 2000 Bonds sold to the State of Indiana or the Indiana Bond Bank to
finance Eligible Costs (as defined in the Financial Assistance Agreement) shall be paid from the date
which is 2 years after the date of delivery of the 2000 Bonds. Interest on 2000 Bonds issued to
finance all other costs shall be payable from the interest payment date to which interest has been paid

Record Date for an interest payment date and on or before such interest payment date in which case
they shall bear interest from such interest payment date, or unless authenticated on or before the

Bond or Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount, and of the same maturity, shall be executed
and delivered in the names of the transferee or transferees or the registered owner, as the case may
be, in exchange therefor. The costs of such transfer or exchange shall be borne by the City except

execute and the Registrar may authenticate a new bond of like date, maturity and denomination as
that mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, which new bond shall be marked in a manner to distinguish
it from the bond for which it was issued, provided that, in the case of any mutilated bond, such
mutilated bond shall first be surrendered to the Registrar, and in the case of any lost, stolen or
-5-
destroyed bond there shall be first furnished to the Registrar evidence of such loss, theft or
destruction satisfactory to the Fiscal Officer and the Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory
to them. In the event any such bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a duplicate bond, the City
and the Registrar may, upon receiving indemnity satisfactory to them, pay the same without
surrender thereof. The City and the Registrar may charge the owner of such 2000 Bond with their
reasonable fees and expenses in this connection. Any 2000 Bond issued pursuant to this paragraph
shall be deemed an original, substitute contractual obligation of the City, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed 2000 Bond shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Amended Ordinance, equally and proportionately with any and all other 2000 Bonds issued
hereunder.

Registration Record at its office. The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized to enter into such
agreements or understandings with such institution as will enable the institution to perform the
services required of a Registrar and Paying Agent. The Fiscal Officer is further authorized to pay

the 2000 Bonds as fiscal agency charges.

Agent by giving thirty (30) days written notice to the City and by first-class mail to each registered
owner of the 2000 Bonds then outstanding, and such resignation will take effect at the end of such
thirty (30) days or upon the earlier appointment of a successor Registrar and Paying Agent by the
City. Such notice to the City may be served personally or sent by first-class or registered mail. The
Registrar and Paying Agent may be removed at any time as Registrar and Paying Agent by the City,
in which event the City may appoint a successor Registrar and Paying Agent. The City shall notify
each registered owner of the 2000 Bonds then outstanding byfirst-class mail of the removal of the
Registrar and Paying Agent. Notices to the registered owners of the 2000 Bonds shall be deemed

on the Registration Record. Any predecessor Registrar and Paying Agent shall deliver all the 2000
Bonds, cash or investments related thereto in its possession and the Registration Record to the
successor Registrar and Paying Agent.
As to the BANs and the 2000 Bonds, if registered in the name of the State of Indiana,
the Indiana Bond Bank or any other purchaser that does not object to such designation, the Fiscal

authentication.
Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail to the address of each
registered owner of a 2000 Bond to be redeemed as shown on the Registration Record not less than
sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption except to the extent such redemption notice is
waived by owners of 2000 Bonds redeemed, provided, however, that failure to give such notice by
mailing, or any defect therein, with respect to any 2000 Bond shall not affect the validity of any
proceedings for the redemption of any other 2000 Bonds. The notice shall specify the date and place
of redemption, the redemption price and the CUSIP numbers of the 2000 Bonds called for
redemption. The place of redemption maybe determined by the City. Interest on the 2000 Bonds
so called for redemption shall cease on the redemption date fixed in such notice if sufficient funds
are available at the place of redemption to pay the redemption price on the date so named, and
thereafter, such 2000 Bonds shall no longer be protected by this Amended Ordinance and shall not
be deemed to be outstanding hereunder, and the holders thereof shall have the right only to receive
the redemption price.

or facsimile signature of the Fiscal Officer, and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the
City Clerk, who also shall affix the seal of the City manually or shall have the seal imprinted or
impressed thereon by facsimile or other means. In case any officer whose signature or facsimile
signature appears thereon shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the 2000 Bonds, such
signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such officer had remained
in office until such delivery.
The 2000 Bonds shall also be authenticated by the manual signature of the Registrar,

Clearing Agency, (1) any such 2000 Bond may be registered upon Registration Record in the name
of such Clearing Agency, or any nominee thereof, including Cede & Co.; (2) the Clearing Agency
in whose name such 2000 Bond is so registered shall be, and the City and the Registrar and Paying
Agent may deem and treat such Clearing Agency as, the absolute owner and holder of such 2000
Bond for all purposes of this Amended Ordinance, including, without limitation, the receiving of
payment of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on such 2000 Bond, the receiving of
notice and the giving of consent; (3) neither the City nor the Registrar or Paying Agent shall have

any person on behalf of which, or otherwise in respect of which, any such participant holds any
interest in any 2000 Bond, including, without limitation, any responsibility or obligation hereunder
to maintain accurate records of any interest in any 2000 Bond or any responsibility or obligation
hereunder with respect to the receiving of payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any 2000 Bond, the receiving of notice or the giving of consent; and (4) the Clearing Agency is not
required to present any 2000 Bond called for partial redemption, if any, prior to receiving payment
so long as the Registrar and Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency have agreed to the method for
noting such partial redemption.
If either the City receives notice from the Clearing Agency which is currently the
registered owner of the 2000 Bonds to the effect that such Clearing Agency is unable or unwilling
to discharge its responsibility as a Clearing Agency for the 2000 Bonds, or the City elects to
discontinue its use of such Clearing Agency as a Clearing Agency for the 2000 Bonds, then the City
and the Registrar and Paying Agent each shall do or perform or cause to be done or performed all
acts or things, not adverse to the rights of the holders of the 2000 Bonds, as are necessary or
appropriate to discontinue use of such Clearing Agency as a Clearing Agency for the 2000 Bonds
and to transfer the ownership of each of the 2000 Bonds to such person or persons, including any
other Clearing Agency, as the holder of the 2000 Bonds may direct in accordance with this Amended
-8-
Ordinance. Any expenses of such discontinuance and transfer, including expenses of printing new
certificates to evidence the 2000 Bonds, shall be paid by the City.
During any time that the 2000 Bonds are held in book-entry form on the books of a
Clearing Agency, the Registrar shall be entitled to request and rely upon a certificate or other written
representation from the Clearing Agency or any participant or indirect participant with respect to the
identity of any beneficial owner of the 2000 Bonds as of a record date selected by the Registrar. For
purposes of determining whether the consent, advice, direction or demand of a registered owner of
a 2000 Bond has been obtained, the Registrar shall be entitled to treat the beneficial owners of the
2000 Bonds as the bondholders and any consent, request, direction, approval, objection or other
instrument of such beneficial owner may be obtained in the fashion described in this Amended
Ordinance.
During any time that the 2000 Bonds are held in book-entry form on the books of a
Clearing Agency, the Executive, the Fiscal Officer and/or the Registrar are authorized to execute and
deliver a Letter of Representations agreement with the Clearing Agency, or a Blanket Issuer Letter
of Representations, and the provisions of any such Letter of Representations or any successor
agreement shall control on the matters set forth therein. The Registrar, by accepting the duties of

thereby and that those duties to be undertaken by either the agent or the issuer shall be the
responsibility of the Registrar, and (ii) comply with all requirements of the Clearing Agency,
including without limitation same day funds settlement payment procedures. Further, during any
time that the 2000 Bonds are held in book-entry form, the provisions of Section 8 of this Amended
Ordinance shall control over conflicting provisions in any other section of this Amended Ordinance.

a day-to-day basis, but none of the moneys in the Operation and Maintenance Fund shall be used for
depreciation, replacements, improvements, extensions or additions. Any balance in Operation and
Maintenance Fund in excess of the expected expenses of operation, repair and maintenance for the

Sinking Fund is divided into two accounts designated as the Bond and Interest Account and the Debt
Service Reserve Account, which are pledged for the purposes set forth below. There shall be set
aside and deposited in the Sinking Fund, as available, and as hereinafter provided, a sufficient
amount of the Net Revenues to meet the requirements of the Bond and Interest Account (also shown

each calendar month, from the Revenue Fund and credited to the Bond and Interest Account an
amount equal to the sum ofone-twelfth (1/12) of the principal and one-sixth (1/6) of the interest on

payment dates, until the amount so credited shall equal the principal payable during the next
succeeding twelve (12) calendar months and the interest payable during the next succeeding six (6)
calendar months. There shall similarly be credited to the account any amount necessary to pay when
due the bank fiscal agency charges for paying principal of and interest on the bonds as the same

principal and interest on the due dates thereof together with the amount of bank fiscal agency
charges.
-19-
(b) Debt Service Reserve Account. There shall be transferred, on the last day of
each calendar month, from the Revenue Fund and credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account
equal amounts sufficient to accumulate the Reserve Requirement within five (5) years of the date

marketing of the 2000 Bonds, which reserve amount shall equal the lesser of (i) the maximum annual
debt service on the 2000 Bonds, (ii) 125% of the average annual debt service on the 2000 Bonds, or
(iii) ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the 2000 Bonds. After this five (5) year period, the City
shall maintain the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Reserve
Requirement. For these purposes, "Reserve Requirement" means the lesser of (i) the maximum
annual debt service on the 2000 Bonds issued hereunder and any bonds ranking on a parity therewith
(including the Prior Bonds) which are now outstanding or issued in the future by the City and which
are payable from the net revenues of the waterworks (the "Parity Bonds"), (ii) 125% of the average
annual debt service on the 2000 Bonds issued hereunder and any Parity Bonds, or (iii) ten percent
(10%) ofthe proceeds ofthe 2000 Bonds issued hereunder and any Parity Bonds. The Debt Service
Reserve Account shall constitute the margin for safety and as protection against default in the
payment of principal of and interest on the 2000 Bonds and such Parity Bonds and the moneys in
the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be used to pay current principal and interest on the 2000
Bonds and such Parity Bonds to the extent that moneys in the Bond and Interest Account are
insufficient for that purpose. Any deficiency in the balance maintained in the Debt Service Reserve
Account shall be promptly made up from the next available Net Revenues after credits into the Bond
and Interest Account. Any moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve
Requirement may be used for the prepayment of installments of principal on the then outstanding
2000 Bonds and Parity Bonds which are then callable or prepayable, or for the purchase of
outstanding 2000 Bonds or Parity Bonds or installments of principal of the 2000 Bonds or Parity
Bonds at a price not exceeding par and accrued interest, or may be transferred to the Improvement
Fund.
SECTION 15. Improvement Fund. After meeting the requirements ofthe Operation
and Maintenance Fund and the Sinking Fund, any excess revenues may be transferred from the
Revenue Fund and credited to the special utility fund hereby continued which was created and
designated in the Prior Ordinances as the "Waterworks Improvement Fund" (the "Improvement
Fund") (also shown on the books of the utility as the Depreciation Fund), and said Fund shall be used
for improvements, replacements, additions and extensions of the works. Moneys in the
Improvement Fund shall be transferred to the Sinking Fund if necessary to prevent a default in the
payment of principal of and interest on the then outstanding bonds or, if necessary, to eliminate any
deficiencies in credits to or minimum balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account of the Sinking
Fund, or may be transferred to the Operation and Maintenance Fund to meet unforeseen
contingencies in the operation and maintenance of the works.
SECTION 16. Investment of Funds. The Revenue Fund and the Sinking Fund each
shall be deposited in and maintained as a separate bank account or accounts from all other bank
accounts of the City. The Operation and Maintenance Fund and the Improvement Fund may be
maintained in a single bank account or accounts, but such bank account or accounts shall likewise
be maintained separate and apart from the Revenue Fund and all other bank accounts of the City and
apart from the Revenue Fund and the Sinking Fund bank accounts. All moneys deposited in the
-20-
bank accounts shall be deposited, held and secured as public funds in accordance with the public
depository laws of the State of Indiana; provided, that moneys therein may be invested in obligations
in accordance with the applicable laws, including particularly Indiana Code, Title 5, Article 13,

(as defined in the Financial Assistance Agreement) of the waterworks, to comply with and satisfy
all covenants contained in this ordinance and the Financial Assistance Agreement and to pay
obligations of the waterworks and of the City with respect to the waterworks. Such rates and charges
shall, if necessary, be changed and readjusted from time to time so that the revenues therefrom shall
always be sufficient to meet the expenses of Operation and Maintenance of the waterworks and the
requirements of the Sinking Fund. The rates and charges so established shall apply to any and all
use of such works by and service rendered to the City, and shall be paid by the City as the charges
accrue. So long as any of the 2000 Bonds are outstanding, none of the facilities and services

shall be applied, after payment of all costs and expenses associated therewith, to the 2000 Bonds and
any Parity Bonds as follows: to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all unpaid installments
of interest then due on, and the unpaid principal of, the 2000 Bonds and any Parity Bonds, including
interest on any past due principal of any 2000 Bond or Parity Bonds at the rate borne by such 2000
Bond or Parity Bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest and the due
dates of such principal and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular
installment of interest or maturity of principal, then to such payment ratably, according to the
amounts so due, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege or any
preference of or priority of interest over principal or principal over interest.
During the continuance of any default in the payment of either principal of or interest
or premium on any 2000 Bonds or Parity Bonds, no payment shall be made with respect to any
subordinate obligations issued pursuant to Section 21(e). Moneys available for payment to holders
of such subordinate obligations shall, in the event of an insufficient amount being available to pay
all debt service with respect to the subordinate obligations when due, be applied to the subordinate
obligations in accordance with the sequence and other terms set forth above with respect to payments
regarding 2000 Bonds and Parity Bonds unless otherwise provided in the ordinance authorizing the
subordinate obligations.

mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the works, or any part thereof, and shall not
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any part of the same, excepting only such
machinery, equipment or other property as maybe replaced, or shall no longer be
necessary for use in connection with said utility; provided, the foregoing restrictions
shall not apply to the extent approved otherwise by the owners of a112000 Bonds
then outstanding if the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel to the effect that the transaction will not cause the interest on the 2000 Bonds
to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, or the City receives
the prior written consent of the State of Indiana, if such 2000 Bonds are sold to the
State of Indiana.
(d) If the 2000 Bonds are sold to the Indiana Bond Bank or the State of

revenues of the waterworks.

Amended Ordinance and in the Prior Ordinances, so long as any of the 2000 Bonds
are outstanding, no additional bonds or other obligations pledging any portion of the
revenues of the works shall be issued by the City, except such as shall be made junior
and subordinate in all respects to the 2000 Bonds, unless all of the 2000 Bonds are
defeased, redeemed or retired coincidentally with the delivery of such additional
bonds or other obligations. Such subordinate obligations shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 20(d).
(f) The provisions of this Amended Ordinance shall constitute a contract
by and between the City and the owners of the 2000 Bonds, all the terms of which
shall be enforceable by any such owner by any and all appropriate proceedings in law
or in equity. After the issuance of the 2000 Bonds and so long as any of the principal
thereof or interest or premium, if any, thereon remains unpaid, except as expressly
provided herein, this Amended Ordinance shall not be repealed or amended in any
respect which will adversely affect the rights of such owners, nor shall the Council
or any other body of the City adopt any law, ordinance or resolution which in any
way adversely affects the rights of such owners; provided, however, that if the 2000
Bonds are sold to the Indiana Bond Bank or the State of Indiana to finance Eligible
Costs, the City shall obtain the prior written consent of the State of Indiana prior to
any amendment of this Amended Ordinance.
(g) The provisions of this Amended Ordinance shall be construed to
create a trust in the proceeds of the sale of the 2000 Bonds for the uses and purposes
herein set forth, and the owners of the 2000 Bonds shall retain a lien on .such
proceeds until the same are applied in accordance with the provisions of this

also be construed to create a trust in the Net Revenues herein directed to be set apart
and paid into the Sinking Fund for the uses and purposes of that Fund as set forth in
this Amended Ordinance. The owners of the 2000 Bonds shall have all the rights,
remedies and privileges set forth in the Act.

provisions contained in this section and Sections 21 and 23, the owners of not less than sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in aggregate principal amount of the 2000 Bonds and then outstanding

ordinance or ordinances supplemental hereto, as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the City
for the purpose of amending in any particular any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Amended Ordinance, or in any supplemental ordinance; provided, however, that if the 2000 Bonds
are sold to the State of Indiana or the Indiana Bond Bank to finance Eligible Costs, the City shall
obtain the prior written consent of the State of Indiana; provided, further, that nothing herein
contained shall permit or be construed as permitting:

redemption premium or the rate of interest thereon, or a change in the monetary
medium in which such amounts are payable, without the consent of the holder of

prior to the pledge thereof created by this Amended Ordinance, without the consent

briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental ordinance and shall state that a copy thereof
is on file at the office of the Registrar for inspection by all owners of the 2000 Bonds. The Registrar

failure to mail such notice, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental
ordinance when consented to and approved as herein provided.
-25-

supplemental ordinance or to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein or the
operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the adoption thereof, or to enjoin or

Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes and as an inducement to purchasers of the
2000 Bonds, the City represents, covenants and agrees that:
(a) No person or entity, other than the City or another state or local
governmental City, will use proceeds of the 2000 Bonds or property financed by the
2000 Bond proceeds other than as a member of the general public. No person or
entity other than the City or another state or local governmental City will own
property financed by 2000 Bond proceeds or will have actual or beneficial use of
such property pursuant to a lease, a management or incentive payment contract, an
arrangement such astake-or-pay or output contract, or any other type of arrangement
that differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from the use by the
public at large.
(b) No 2000 Bond proceeds will be loaned to any entity or person other
than a state or local governmental City. No 2000 Bond proceeds will be transferred,

manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the 2000 Bond proceeds.

to the 2000 Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income
for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2000 Bonds pursuant to Section
103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the
regulations thereunder as applicable to the 2000 Bonds, including, without limitation,
the taking of such action as is necessary to rebate or cause to be rebated arbitrage
profits on 2000 Bond proceeds or other monies treated as 2000 Bond proceeds to the
federal government as provided in Section 148 of the Code, and will set aside such
monies, which may be paid from investment income on funds and accounts
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, in trust for such purposes.
(d) The City will file an information report on Form 8038-G with the
Internal Revenue Service as required by Section 149 of the Code.

any 2000 Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the
Code and the regulations thereunder as applicable to the 2000 Bonds.
-27-
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Amended Ordinance, the foregoing
covenants and authorizations (the "Tax Sections") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of
interest on the 2000 Bonds from gross income under federal law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be
complied with to the extent the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that
compliance with such Tax Section is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption.
SECTION 25. Issuance of BANs; Other Actions.
(a) The City, having satisfied all the statutory requirements for the issuance of
the 2000 Bonds, has the authority to elect to issue a bond anticipation note or notes, repayable from
the proceeds received from the sale of the 2000 Bonds (defined herein as the "BANs"). This Council
hereby authorizes the issuance and sale of the BANS pursuant to I.C. §5-1-14-5 in one or more
series, ranking on a parity with each other, in original aggregate principal amount not to exceed Two
Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000) to provide interim financing until permanent
financing becomes available and to pay for costs of issuing the BANs, and the BANs also may fund
capitalized interest thereon. The designation of the BANs shall be "City of South Bend, Indiana
Waterworks Bond Anticipation Note of 2000". The BANs shall be issued in fully registered form
in denominations of One Dollar ($1.00) or integral multiples thereof, shall be originally dated the
date of delivery, shall be numbered consecutively from 1 upward, shall mature not more than two
(2) years from the date of issuance, may be renewed or extended from time to time, over a period
not exceeding five (5) years from the date of the original issuance of the BANs, shall be prepayable
on seven (7) days' notice in whole or in part in any authorized denomination without premium or
penalty, shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding two and nine-tenths percent (2.9%) per annum (the
exact rate or rates to be determined through negotiations with the purchaser of the BANs), and shall
be sold at a discount not exceeding one percent (1 %) of the principal amount thereof. Interest on the
BANs shall be payable at maturity. The BANs shall be issued pursuant to I.C. 13-18-13 if sold to
the State of Indiana, pursuant to I.C. 5-1.5-8-6.1 if sold to the Indiana Bond Bank or pursuant to I.C.
5-1-14-5 if sold to a financial institution or any other purchaser. It shall not be necessary for the City
to repeat the procedures for the issuance of the 2000 Bonds as the procedures followed before the
issuance of the BANs are for all purposes sufficient to authorize the issuance of the 2000 Bonds and
to use proceeds thereof to repay the BANs.
The principal of the BANs herein authorized is payable solely from proceeds received
from the sale of the 2000 Bonds, and the interest thereon may be paid from such proceeds or from
the Net Revenues or a combination thereof, and the proceeds received by the City from the sale of
the 2000 Bonds and such Net Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the
principal of and interest on the BANs. The Executive is hereby authorized to determine the form
of the BANs and to execute the BANs, the Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized to have the BANs
prepared, and to attest to the BANs and affix the seal the City or cause a facsimile of the seal of the
City to be imprinted or impressed on the BANs. The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed
to obtain the legal opinion as to the validity of the BANs from Barnes & Thornburg. After the BANs
shall have been properly executed, the Fiscal Officer shall be authorized to receive from the
purchaser thereof payment for the BANs and to provide for delivery of the BANs to the purchaser.
Proceeds received from the sale of the BANs shall be deposited in the Construction Fund referred
to in Sec. 11 of this Amended Ordinance. The City may receive payments for the BANs in
-28-
installments. The Fiscal Officer is authorized to sell the BANS to a financial institution, the Indiana
Bond Bank, the State of Indiana, or to any other purchaser pursuant to a Bond Anticipation Note
Agreement (the "Bond Anticipation Note Agreement") to be entered into between the City and the
purchaser, and to work with the purchaser to facilitate the sale of the BANS, provided, any BAN in
principal amount of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) must be sold to a financial
institution. If the BANs are sold to the State of Indiana, the Financial Assistance Agreement shall
serve as the Bond Anticipation Note Agreement. The Executive and the Fiscal Officer are hereby
authorized and directed to execute a Bond Anticipation Note Agreement or Financial Assistance
Agreement (and any amendments made from time to time) in such form as they shall approve acting
upon the advice of counsel. In any case any officer whose signature or a facsimile signature appears
on the BANS shall cease to be such officer before delivery of the BANS, such signature shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such officer had remained in office until
delivery of the BANs.
Upon execution of the BANS by the Executive and the attestation thereof by the
Fiscal Officer, the BANS shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the City.
No action shall be taken that would impair the exclusion from gross income of
interest on the BANS provided by the Code (as defined in Section 24). In furtherance of the
foregoing, the provisions of Section 24 of this Amended Ordinance shall apply to the BANS in the
same manner as they apply to the 2000 Bonds.
The BANS shall be subject to transfer or exchange in the same manner as the 2000
Bonds, as described in Section 4, and to amendment in the same manner as the 2000 Bonds, as
described in Sections 22 and 23.
(b) The Executive and the Fiscal Officer may take such other actions or deliver
such other certificates and documents needed for the Proj ect or the financing as they deem necessary
or desirable in connection therewith.
SECTION 26. Rate Ordinance. The rates and charges of the works are set forth or
described in Ordinance No. 8798-97 adopted by the Council on June 23, 1997. Such ordinance is
hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in full at this place, two copies of which are on file
and available for public inspection in the office of the City Clerk pursuant to I.C. §36-1-5-4.
SECTION 27. Amended and Restated Ordinance. The Council hereby amends and
restates the Original Ordinance and adopts the terms and provisions of this Amended Ordinance.
SECTION 28. Non-Business Days. Upon the written consent of the State of Indiana,
if the date of making any payment or the last date for performance of any act or the exercising of any
right, as provided in this Amended Ordinance, shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions in the City or the jurisdiction in which the Registrar or Paying Agent is located are
typically closed, such payment may be made or act performed or right exercised on the next
succeeding day not a legal holiday or a day on which such banking institutions are typically closed,
-29-
with the same force and effect as if done on the nominal date provided in this Amended Ordinance,
and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date.
SECTION 29. No Conflict. The Council hereby finds and determines that the
adoption of this Amended Ordinance and the issuance of the 2000 Bonds is incompliance with the
Prior Ordinances. The Prior Ordinances shall remain in full force and effect. All ordinances and
resolutions and parts thereof in conflict herewith, including Ordinance No.9027-99, except the Prior
Ordinances, are to the extent of such conflict hereby repealed. None of the provisions of this
Amended Ordinance shall be construed to adversely affect the rights of the owners of the Prior
Bonds.
SECTION 30. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Amended
Ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or
unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining
provisions of this Amended Ordinance.
SECTION 31. Interpretation. Unless the context or laws clearly require otherwise,
references herein to statutes or other laws include the same as modified, supplemented or superseded
from time to time.
SECTION 32. Effectiveness. This Amended Ordinance shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage and compliance with the procedures required by law.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project consists of the second phase of a three-part improvement to the Olive
Water Treatment Plant on Olive Street in South Bend, Indiana. The Project consists of the
construction and equipping of a 6,500 square foot slab-on-grade building, six additional GAC units
and all associated process piping for the treatment plant. The Proj ect will increase the Olive Water
Treatment Plant's total treatment capacity to 12,000,000 gallons of water per day. The construction
of the building will also allow the treatment system to be operated all year, as opposed to closing
during the winter months as is currently necessary. The Project will also involve reconditioning of
wells located at the Project site. An on-site sodium hyprochlorite generation system will also be
added and the current gas chlorination system will be eliminated. Finally, the Project will involve
improvements that will facilitate the construction of an additional iron and manganese filtration plant
in the future.

Re: Amended Bond Ordinance for Waterworks Revenue Bonds of 2000
Dear Ms. Pfeifer:
Enclosed are four pages of the above-referenced Ordinance which contain minor revisions
to the Ordinance submitted this past Wednesday, February 9 to the South Bend City Clerk. The
revisions are as follows:
1. The first paragraph on page 1 inserts the Common Council before the reference to the
City of South Bend.
2. On page 9, the interest rate in the bond form provides for a date certain.
3. Section 29 on page 30 references Ordinance No. 9027-99.
4. Exhibit B is a revised financial assistance agreement which we received from
Bingham Summers.
5. Exhibit C provides for a maturity payment in 2002 and reduces the payment in 2003.
These are the only changes. Thank you.
Sincerely,
BARNES & THORNBURG
