City Clerk Presented by me to the Mayor of the City of South Bend, Indiana President of Common Council June 24, 19 97 City Clerk Approved and signed by me ,~ 19 g,~ Mayor ORDINANCE NO. U D~ ~' I An Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, 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 Twenty-Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($22,500,000); 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 City of South Bend, Indiana (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 Common Council of the City (the "Council") now finds that certain improvements to said works are necessary; and that plans, specifications and estimates have been prepazed and filed by the engineers employed by the City for the acquisition and construction of said improvements (as described more fully on in F.xhihit 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 $20,000,000. 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 Project, 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 "Waterworks Revenue Bonds of 1993" dated November 1, 1993 (the "Parity 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 "Parity Ordinance"), now outstanding in the amount of $4,435,000. The Parity Bonds constitute a first charge upon the Net Revenues (as hereinafter defined). The Parity Ordinance provides that the City may authorize and issue additional bonds payable out of the Net Revenues ranking on a parity with the Parity 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 Parity Ordinance. The conditions precedent to the issuance of additional parity bonds set forth in the Panty Ordinance, as described above, have been satisfied. 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. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. P~ject.

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 on the books of the utility as the Bond Sinking Fund) and of the Debt Service Reserve Account. Such payments shall continue until the balance in the Bond and Interest Account, plus the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account, equals the amount needed to redeem all of the then outstanding bonds. (a) Principal and Interest Account. There shall be transferred, on the last day of each calendar month, from the Reven~ie Fund and credited to the Bond and Interest Account an amount equal to the sum of one-twelfth (1/12) of the principal and one-sixth (1/6) of the interest on all then outstanding bonds payable from Net Revenues on the next succeeding principal and interest 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 become payable.

(b) Debt Service Reserve Account. On the date of issuance of the 1997 Bonds, there shall be deposited to the Debt Service Reserve Account from the proceeds of the sale of the 1997 Bonds an amount to constitute an appropriate reserve to facilitate the marketing of the 1997 Bonds, which reserve amount shall equal the lesser of ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the 1997 Bonds, the maximum annual debt service on the 1997 Bonds, and 125% of the average annual debt service on the 1997 Bonds.

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 1997 Bonds and parity bonds which are then callable or prepayable, or for the purchase of outstanding 1997 Bonds or parity bonds or installments of principal of the 1997 Bonds or parity bonds at a price not exceeding par and accrued interest, or may be transferred to the Improvement Fund.

For purposes of this subsection, the records of the works shall be analyzed and all showings shall be prepared by an independent certified public accountant employed by the City for that purpose.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 20 of this Ordinance and in the Parity Ordinance, so long as any of the 1997 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 1997 Bonds, unless all of the 1997 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). -22- (e) The provisions of this Ordinance shall constitute a contract by and between the City and the owners of the 1997 Bonds, all the terms of which shall be enforceable by any such owner by any and all appropriate proceedings in law or in equity.

(e) The City will not make any investment or do any other act or thing during the period that any 1997 Bond is outstanding hereunder which would cause any 1997 Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the regulations thereunder as applicable to the 1997 Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance, the foregoing covenants and authorizations (the "Tax Sections") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the 1997 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~ANs;S~therActions. (a) The City, having satisfied all the statutory requirements for the issuance of the 1997 Bonds, has the authority to elect to issue a bond anticipation note or notes, repayable from the proceeds received from the sale of the 1997 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 Twenty-Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($22,500,000) 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 1997". The BANS shall be issued in fully registered form in denominations of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) 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 -26- of the original issuance of the BANs, in accord with I.C. §5-1-14-5, 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 eight percent (8%) per annum, 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. It shall not be necessary for the City to repeat the procedures for the issuance of the 1997 Bonds as the procedures followed before the issuance of the BANs are for all purposes sufficient to authorize the issuance of the 1997 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 1997 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 1997 Bonds and such Net Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the BANs.

Proceeds received from the sale of the BANS shall be deposited in the Construction Fund referred to in Sec. 11 of this Ordinance.

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 he 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 Ordinance shall apply to the BANS in the same manner as they apply to the 1997 Bonds. _ The BANS shall be subject to transferor exchange in the same manner as the 1997 Bonds, as described in Section 4, and to amendment in the same manner as the 1997 Bonds, as described in Sections 22 and 23. The Executive and the Fiscal Officer each are authorized and directed to execute a purchase agreement with respect to the BANs in such form or substance as they shall approve.

LUECKE, MAYOR SOUTH SEND WATER WORKS ,JOHN F. STANCATI DIRECTOR June 3, 1997 South Bend Common Council 4th Floor, County-City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear Councilmembers: The South Bend Water Works has proposed a rate increase and bond issue in the amount of $22,500,000 for capital improvements which are needed for the present and future of the utility. This includes items such as reservoirs, booster stations, main extensions and filtration plants. The distribution system will not only be improved as to the equalization of pressure and increased storage, but also 80% of our water will now be filtered for the removal of iron from our system. These projects are consistent with our master plan and represent a needed investment for one of our most treasured assets. The cost of these projects to our minimum users is $.07 per day and $.11 per day for our average users. These increases will still keep us at the lower 25% of the municipalities rate chart and $.27 a day less than the average private water companies in Indiana. Sincerely, ~~_ ,_ `~ `John F. Stancati, Director South Bend Water Works Ftt~d to Ct~rt~'s ®~~(ce ~r ,~ ~ ~~ - ~+ 197 IORETTlI J. r,uar. CITY CLERI{, SO. BEfiD, Itl.
