of the Bonds shall be used exclusively for the purposes stated
herein; provided, however, that any portion of such proceeds may
16
be temporarily invested pending such use in securities or
obligations which are lawful investments for the City with such
temporary investments to be made consistent with the covenant
hereinafter made concerning arbitrage bonds. Neither the
Placement Agent nor the registered owner of any Bond shall be in
any way responsible for the application of the proceeds of the
Bonds by the City or any of its officers.
13 . Tax Matters. The City covenants that it will make
no investment or other use of the proceeds of the Bonds at any
time during the term thereof which, if such investment or other
use had been reasonably expected on the date the Bonds are
issued, would have caused the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within
the meaning of Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code" ) , and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, and that the City will comply with the requirements
of such Section and regulations throughout the term of the Bonds.
The City does not expect to have any gross proceeds from the
Bonds which will be subject to required arbitrage rebate to the
United States government under Section 103 of the Code. If,
however, the City does, for any reason, have gross proceeds from
the Bonds which will be subject to such arbitrage rebate, the
Finance Director of the City will determine the amount of the
required arbitrage rebate, if any, payable to the United States
government under Section 103 of the Code and will make any
required payments at the times and in the manner as provided by
Section 103 of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations,
regardless of whether there are any remaining proceeds or other
funds attributable to the Bonds that are available for the
purpose. The City will not permit the amount of gross proceeds
invested in any bond year of the Bonds at a yield materially
higher than the Bond yield to exceed the limits of Section 103 of
the Code.
The City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" under Section 265(b) (3 ) of the Code.
14. Assessments. The Council shall cause the
assessments to be levied and collected in a timely manner as
provided by law for the benefit of the registered owners of the
Bonds. All assessments made, together with all interest thereon
and penalties for default in payment thereof, shall be a lien in
the several amounts assessed against each property from the date
of the publication of the assessing ordinance and shall be a
first and prior lien over all other liens excepting general tax
liens. The Council will further cause the lien of any unpaid
assessment to be diligently enforced against the property charged
therewith.
15 . Bookkeeping and Records. So long as any of the
Bonds remain outstanding, the City will keep or cause to be kept
17
by Larimer County, Colorado (the "County" ) , true and accurate
books of records and accounts showing full and true entries
covering the collection and disposition of the assessments and
any delinquencies in the collection thereof, covering deposits
and disbursements in each of the special funds herein described,
covering the payment of the Bonds, both principal and interest,
and covering disbursements to defray the costs and expenses of
the Improvements. The City will permit inspection and
examination of all such books and notices maintained or received
by the City at any reasonable time by the Placement Agent or the
registered owner of any Bond.
16. Rights and Remedies. The registered owner of any
Bond shall have the right and power for the equal benefit and
protection of all registered owners of Bonds similarly situated:
a. By mandamus or other suit, action, or
proceeding at law or in equity to enforce his rights against
the City and to require and compel the City to perform and
carry out its duties, obligations, or other commitments
under this Ordinance and under its covenants and agreements
with the registered owners of the Bonds;
b. By action or by suit in equity to require the
City to account as if it were the trustee of an express
trust;
C . By action or by suit in equity to have
appointed a receiver, which receiver may take possession of
any accounts and may collect, receive, and apply all
revenues or other moneys pledged for the payment of the
Bonds in the same manner as the City itself might do;
d. By action or by suit in equity to enjoin any
acts or things which might be unlawful or might be in
violation of the rights of the registered owners of the
Bonds; and
e. To bring suit upon the Bonds.
No right or remedy conferred by this Ordinance upon the
registered owner of any Bond or any trustee therefor is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but each such right
or remedy is cumulative and is in addition to every other right
or remedy and may be exercised without exhausting and without
regard to any other remedy conferred by this Ordinance or by any
other law. The failure of the registered owner of any Bond so to
proceed as provided herein shall not relieve the City of any
obligation to perform or to carry out any duty, obligation, or
other commitment.
18
17. Ordinance Irrepealable. This Ordinance is, and
shall constitute, a legislative measure of the City, and after
the Bonds are issued, sold and are outstanding, this Ordinance
shall constitute a contract between the City and the registered
owners of the Bonds, and shall be and remain irrepealable until
the Bonds and the interest thereon shall have been fully paid,
satisfied and discharged.
18. Facsimile Signatures. Pursuant to the Uniform
Facsimile Signature of Public Officials Act, part 1 of article 55
of title 11, Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, the Mayor,
the City Clerk and the Finance Director of the City shall
forthwith, but in any event prior to the delivery of the Bonds to
the Placement Agent, file with the Colorado Secretary of State
their manual signatures and an impression of the seal of the
City, certified by them under oath, using a Facsimile Signature
Certificate for this purpose.
19. Authorized Acts. The officers of the City are
hereby authorized and directed to enter into such agreements and
take all action necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
provisions of this Ordinance and to comply with the requirements
of law, including without limiting the generality of the
foregoing:
a. The printing of the Bonds, including the
printing upon each of the Bonds of a copy of the approving
legal opinion of Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll, bond
counsel, duly certified by the City Clerk; and
b. The execution of a contract for the private
placement of the Bonds and of such certificates as may be
required by the Placement Agent relating to the signing of
the Bonds, the tenure and identity of the City officials, if
in accordance with the facts, the absence of litigation,
pending or threatened, affecting the validity of the Bonds,
the exemption of the interest on the Bonds from federal
income taxation, and receipt of the Bond purchase price and
of the Bonds; and
C . The preparation of a Preliminary Official
Statement and a final Official Statement relating to the
Bonds; and
d. The making of various statements, recitals,
certificates and warranties provided in the form of Bond set
forth in this Ordinance; and
e. The payment of interest on the Bonds as the
same shall become due and the principal of the Bonds at
19
maturity or upon prior redemption without further warrant or
order.
20. Ratification of Actions. All action heretofore
taken by the City and by the officers thereof not inconsistent
herewith directed toward the creation of the District, the
construction and installation of the Improvements therein, and
the authorization and sale of the Bonds is hereby ratified,
approved and confirmed.
21. Repealer of Measures. All resolutions, ordinances,
or parts thereof, taken by the City and in conflict with this
Ordinance are hereby repealed, except that this repealer shall
not be construed so as to revive any resolution, ordinance, or
part thereof, heretofore repealed.
22 . Severability. If any paragraph, clause or
provision of this Ordinance is judicially adjudged invalid or
unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair or
invalidate the remaining paragraphs, clauses or provisions
hereof, the intention being that the various paragraphs, clauses
or provisions hereof are severable.
23 . Recording; Effective Date. This Ordinance, after
its final passage, shall be recorded in a book for that purpose,
shall be authenticated by the signatures of the Mayor and the
City Clerk, shall be published as provided in the Charter and
shall take effect on the tenth day following final passage.
