Depository to the effect that the Securities Depository has
received written notice from Participants having interests, as
shown in the records of the Securities Depository, in an aggregate
principal amount of not less than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Bonds to the effect that the

responsibilities or a continuation of the requirement that all of
the outstanding Bonds be registered in the name of the Securities
Depository or a nominee therefor is not in the best interests of
the Beneficial Owners. Upon the removal or resignation of the
Securities Depository, the Securities Depository shall take such
action as may be necessary to assure the orderly transfer of the
computerized book-entry system with respect to the Bonds to a
successor securities depository or, if no successor securities
depository is appointed as herein provided, the transfer of the
Bonds in certificate form to the Beneficial Owners or their
designees. Upon the giving of notice by the City of the removal
of the Securities Depository, the giving of notice by the
Securities Depository of its resignation or the receipt by the City
of notice with respect to the written notice of Participants
referred to herein, the City may, within sixty (60) days after the
giving of such notice, appoint a successor securities depository
upon such terms and conditions as the City shall impose. Any such
successor securities depository shall at all times be a registered
clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, and in good
standing thereunder. If the City fails to appoint a successor
securities depository within such time period, the Bonds shall no
longer be restricted to being registered in the name of the
Securities Depository or a nominee therefor, but may be registered
in whatever name or names registered owners transferring or
exchanging Bonds shall designate.

acquiring, constructing and installing improvements to the existing
water system of the City pursuant to, by virtue of, and in full
conformity with the Constitution of the State of Colorado, the
Charter of the City and all other laws of the State of Colorado
thereunto enabling, and pursuant to an ordinance of the City duly
adopted prior to the issuance of this Bond.
17
It is hereby recited, certified and warranted that the
total indebtedness of the City, including that of this Bond, does
not exceed any constitutional, charter or statutory limitation of
the State of Colorado or of the City; that provision has been made
for the levy and collection of general (ad valorem) taxes on all
the taxable property within the City and for the pledge of the net
revenues derived from the operation of the water system of the City
in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on this
Bond as the same become due; and that this Bond constitutes a first
lien (but not necessarily an exclusive first lien) on said net
revenues.
Reference is hereby made to the ordinance of the City
authorizing the issuance of this Bond, and to any and all
modifications thereof and amendments thereto, for a description of
the provisions, terms and conditions upon which this Bond is issued
and secured, including, without limitation, definition of terms
used herein, the nature and extent of the security for this Bond,
provisions with respect to the application of the proceeds of this
Bond, the rights, duties and obligations of the City and the
members of its Council, and the rights of the Registered Owner.
This Bond is transferable only upon the registration
books of the City by the Financial Officer of the City, as transfer
agent, at the request of the Registered Owner or his, her or its
duly authorized attorney-in-fact or legal representative, upon
surrender hereof together with a written instrument of transfer
duly executed by the Registered Owner or his, her or its duly
authorized attorney-in-fact or legal representative with guaranty
of signature satisfactory to the transfer agent, containing written
instructions as to the details of the transfer, along with the
social security number or federal employer identification number
of the transferee and, if the transferee is a trust, the names and
social security numbers of the settlors and beneficiaries of the
trust. The transfer agent is not required to transfer ownership
of this Bond during the fifteen (15) days prior to the first
mailing of any notice of redemption or to transfer ownership of any
Bond selected for redemption on or after the date of such mailing.
The Registered Owner may also exchange this Bond for another Bond 6
or Bonds of authorized denominations. Transfers and exchanges are
to be made without charge, except that the transfer agent may
require payment of a sum sufficient to defray any tax or other
governmental charge that may hereafter be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Bonds. No transfer of this Bond
is to be effective until entered on the registration books of the
City. In the case of every transfer or exchange, the transfer
agent is to deliver to the new registered owner a new Bond or Bonds
of the same aggregate principal amount, maturing in the same year,
and bearing interest at the same per annum interest rate as the
is
Bond or Bonds surrendered. Such Bond or Bonds are to be dated as
of their date of authentication. The City may deem and treat the
person or entity in whose name this Bond is last registered upon
the books of the City as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of receiving payment of the principal of, interest on, and any
premium due in connection with the redemption of this Bond and for
all other purposes, and all such payments so made to such person
or entity or upon his, her or its order will be valid and effective
to satisfy and discharge the liability of the City upon this Bond
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and the City will not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the City nor the transfer agent has any
responsibility or obligation with respect to the accuracy of the
records of the securities depository or its participants regarding
any ownership interest in the Bonds or transfers thereof.
The City may remove the securities depository and the
securities depository may resign by giving sixty (60) days' written
notice to the other of such removal or resignation. Additionally,
the securities depository is to be removed sixty (60) days after
receipt by the City of written notice from the securities
depository to the effect that the securities depository has
received written notice form participants having interests, as
shown in the record s of the securities depository, in an aggregate
principal amount of not less than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Bonds to the effect that the
securities depository is unable or unwilling to discharge its
responsibilities or a continuation of the requirement that all of
the outstanding Bonds be registered in the name of the securities
depository or a nominee therefor is not in the best interests of
the beneficial owners. Upon the removal or resignation of the
securities depository, the securities depository is to take such
action as may be necessary to assure the orderly transfer of the
computerized book-entry system with respect to the Bonds to a
successor securities depository or, if no successor securities
depository is appointed as herein provided, the transfer of the
Bonds in certificate form to the beneficial owners or their
designees. Upon the giving of notice by the City of the removal
of the securities depository, the giving of notice by the
securities depository of its resignation or the receipt by the City
of notice with respect to the written notice by participants
referred to herein, the City may, within sixty (60) days after the
giving of such notice, appoint a successor securities depository
upon such terms and conditions as the City shall impose. Any such
successor securities depository must at all times be a registered
clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and in good
standing thereunder. If the City fails to appoint a successor
securities depository within such time period, the Bonds are no
19
longer to be restricted to being registered in the name of the
securities depository or a nominee therefor, but may be registered
in whatever name or names registered owners transferring or
exchanging Bonds shall designate.

12. Disposition of Bonds and Proceeds. The Bonds, when
executed, authenticated and registered as provided herein, shall
be delivered by the City to the Purchaser upon receipt of full
payment therefor in accordance with the Bond Purchase Agreement.
Interest accrued on the Bonds from the date thereof to
the delivery date thereof shall be applied to the payment of
interest first due on the Bonds. The original proceeds of the
Bonds, exclusive of accrued interest, shall be used for the
purposes stated herein and for no other purposes, provided,
however, that any portion of the Bond proceeds may be temporarily
invested pending such use, with such temporary investment to be
made consistent with the covenant made in Section 17 hereof.
Neither the Purchaser nor any subsequent owner of the Bonds shall
be in any way responsible for the application of the proceeds of
the Bonds by the City or any of its officers.
13. Water Fund. The original proceeds of the Bonds,
exclusive of accrued interest, shall be deposited in the Water Fund
of the City (the "Water Fund") . Bond proceeds so deposited shall
be withdrawn and expended for the purpose of acquiring,
constructing and installing the Improvements to the Water System
and paying the costs of issuing the Bonds. Any Bond proceeds
remaining in the Water Fund after the completion of the
Improvements to the Water System shall be applied to any lawful
purposes of the City as the Council may hereafter determine.
14. Pledge of Ad Valorem Taxes and Water Revenues. If
required, the interest to become due on the Bonds in 1992 shall be
advanced from any revenues or funds of the City lawfully available
therefor. For the purpose of reimbursing any such advance and also
for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the
Bonds as the same become due and payable, the Council shall
annually fix and certify a rate of levy for ad valorem taxes to the
Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado, which
taxes, when levied on all of the taxable property in the City in
each year so long as any Bonds remain outstanding, will raise ad
valorem tax revenues sufficient to make such reimbursement and to
pay such Bond principal and interest as the same become due. In
the event any of said levies shall fail to produce an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
becoming due in the next succeeding year, the deficit shall be made
up in the next levy, and taxes shall be levied until the principal
of and interest on the Bonds shall be fully paid or discharged.
In addition to the provision for tax levies for the
payment of the Bonds, the City hereby irrevocably pledges to pay
the principal of and the interest on the Bonds from the net
revenues of the Water System. The City hereby reserves the right
to secure, without restriction, any water bonds, water refunding
22
bonds and leases and contracts relating to the Water System
hereafter issued or entered into by the City equally and ratably
with the Bonds. The City also hereby commits itself to fix and
annually to maintain rates, fees, tolls, and charges for water and
services furnished by the Water System which, together with other
moneys legally available therefor, will be sufficient to pay
operation and maintenance expenses of the Water System and the
principal of and interest on all bonds and other obligations of the
City pertaining to the Water System, as they respectively become
due, and for the other payments required by Art. XII, Section 6 of
the Charter of the City. The term "net revenues" as used herein
refers to the gross revenues of the Water System after the payment
of operation and maintenance expenses. The term "operation and
maintenance expenses" as used herein means all current reasonable
and necessary expenses of operating, maintaining and repairing the
Water System, but does not include any allowance for depreciation
or capital replacements and improvements. The term "Water System"
as used herein includes not only the property comprising the Water
System of the City at the present time, but all additions and
betterments thereto and improvements and extensions thereto which
may hereafter be acquired, constructed or installed by the City.
It shall be the duty of the Council annually at the time
and in the manner provided by law, if such action shall be
necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Ordinance, to ratify
and carry out the provisions hereof with reference to the levy and
collection of the ad valorem taxes and the imposition,
administration, enforcement and collection of the water rates,
fees, tolls and charges, all as herein specified, and to require
the officers of the City to levy, extend and collect said ad
valorem taxes in the manner provided by law and to impose,
administer, enforce and collect said water rates, fees, tolls and
charges for the purpose of providing funds for the payment of the
operation and maintenance expenses of the Water System and the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same
become due.
15. Use of Water Fund. Interest accrued on the Bonds
from the date thereof to the delivery date thereof and all ad
valorem taxes and water revenues, when collected, shall be
deposited in the Water Fund. From any moneys on deposit in the
Water Fund or, if required, from any other unrestricted fund of
the City, the City shall pay each maturing installment of principal
and interest on the Bonds and any other obligations issued and made
payable from the Water Fund until the Bonds, both principal and
interest, shall be fully paid or discharged. Nothing herein
contained shall be so construed as to prevent the City from
committing and applying any other funds or revenues that may now
or hereafter be in the possession of the City and legally available
for the purpose of payment of the principal of and interest on the
23
Bonds. The Water Fund shall be maintained as a sinking fund for
the mandatory redemption of Bonds maturing in the years and
Any mandatory sinking fund redemption shall be treated as
a--maturing installment of principal for purposes of this
Section 15.
16. Excess Investment Earnings Account. There is hereby
created within the Water Fund the City of Fort Collins, Colorado,
General Obligation Water Account Bonds, Series 1992A, Excess
Investment Earnings Account (the "Excess Investment Earnings
Account") , into which the Financial Officer shall transfer, and
from which the Financial Officer shall pay, the amount of required
arbitrage rebate, if any, due to the United States government under
Sections 103 and 148 (f) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Tax Code") , and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Financial Officer shall determine such amounts in
the manner required by the Tax Code and related regulations.
Transfer of the required arbitrage rebate amounts shall be made
from the Water Fund, provided, however, that required arbitrage
rebate payments shall be made to the United States government from
any legally available funds if there are no moneys in the Water
Fund available for such purpose.
All amounts in the Excess Investment Earnings Account,
including income earned from the investment of moneys therein,
shall be held by the Financial Officer free and clear of any lien
created by this Ordinance, and the Financial Officer shall pay
required arbitrage rebate amounts over to the United States
government from time to time as the Financial Officer shall
determine, provided that the Financial Officer shall so pay over
to the United States of America (a) not less frequently than once
each five years after the date of issuance of the Bonds, an amount
equal to 90% of the required arbitrage rebate amount earned during
such period (and not theretofore paid to the United States
government) and (b) not later than sixty (60) days after the
redemption of the last Bond, loot of the required arbitrage rebate
amount.
17. Tax Matters. The City shall make no investment or
other use of the proceeds of the Bonds at any time during the term
thereof which will cause the interest on the Bonds to be includible a
in gross income under the Tax Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder and shall comply with all other covenants and
certifications relating to the Tax Code made by it in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds. The foregoing covenant shall
remain in effect notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance
of the Bonds until the date on which all obligations of the City
in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code have been met.
24
18. Covenants. The City covenants that so long as any
of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid:
a. It will continue to operate and manage the
Water System in an efficient and economical manner and
keep and maintain separate accounts of the receipts and
disbursements thereof in such manner that the revenues
thereof may at all times be readily and accurately
determined.
b. It will not sell or alienate any of the
property constituting all or any part of the Water System
in any manner or to any extent as might reduce the
security provided for the payment of the Bonds, but the
City may sell any portion of such property which shall
have been replaced by other similar property of at least
equal value or which shall cease to be necessary for the
efficient operation of the Water System.
C. The rates, fees, tolls and charges for all
services rendered by the Water System to the City and to
its inhabitants and to all consumers within or without
the boundaries of the City shall be reasonable and just,
taking into account and consideration the cost and value
of the Water System and the proper and necessary
allowance for the depreciation thereof and the amounts
necessary for the retirement of all bonds and other
securities or obligations payable from the revenues of
the Water System and the interest thereon.
d. There shall be charged against all purchasers
of service such rates, fees, tolls, and charges as shall
be adequate to meet the requirements of this Ordinance.
e. The City shall cause all rates, fees, tolls and
charges appertaining to the Water System to be collected
as soon as reasonable, shall prescribe and enforce rules
and regulations for the payment thereof and for the
connection with and the disconnection from properties of
the Water System, and shall provide methods of collection
and penalties, including but not limited to denial of
service for non-payment of such rates, fees, tolls and
charges to the end that net revenues of the Water System
shall be adequate to meet the requirements hereof.
f. At regular periods each year it will render
bills for water services furnished. Until paid, all
water rates, fees, tolls and charges shall constitute a
lien on the property served, and the City shall take
whatever action is legally permissible promptly to
25
enforce and collect delinquent water rates, fees, tolls
and charges and to preserve and enforce said liens.
g. At least once each year it will furnish the
Purchaser with a complete statement of the receipts and
disbursements of and for the Water System for the fiscal
year immediately preceding such statement.
h. It will carry workers' compensation, public
liability and other forms of insurance on insurable Water
System property in such amounts as is customarily carried
on prudently operated systems of like character.
19. Appropriation of Sums. The sums required to pay the
costs of issuing the Bonds are hereby appropriated for that
purpose. The sums hereinbefore provided to pay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds, when due, are hereby appropriated for
that purpose, and said amounts for each year shall be included in
the annual budget and the appropriations ordinance, resolution, or
measures to be adopted or passed by the Council in each year while
any of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid.
20. Defeasance. When all of the principal of, the
interest on, and any premium due in connection with the redemption
of the Bonds have been duly paid, all obligations hereunder shall
thereby be discharged and the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to
be outstanding. There shall be deemed to be such due payment when
the City has placed in escrow or in trust with a trust bank located
within the State of Colorado bills, certificates of indebtedness,
notes, bonds or similar securities which are direct obligations of,
or the principal and interest of which obligations are
unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America
("Federal Securities") in an amount sufficient (including the known
minimum yield available for such purpose from Federal Securities
in which such amount may wholly or in part be initially invested)
to pay all principal of, interest on, and any premium due in
connection with the redemption of the Bonds. The Federal
Securities shall become due prior to the respective times at which
the proceeds thereof shall be needed in accordance with a schedule
established and agreed upon between the City and such bank at the
time of the creation of the escrow or trust, or the Federal
Securities shall be subject to redemption at the option of the
owner thereof to assure such availability as so needed to meet such
schedule. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit a partial
defeasance of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof.
21. Rights and Immunities. Except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended
or shall be construed to confer upon or to give to any person,
other than the City and the registered owners from time to time of
26
the Bonds, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason hereof or
any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof. All the covenants,
stipulations, promises and agreements herein contained by and on
behalf of the City shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of
the City and any registered owner of the Bonds.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal
of, interest on, or any premium due in connection with the
redemption of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or otherwise
upon this Ordinance, or any other instrument pertaining hereto,
against any individual member of the Council or any officer or
other agent of the City, past, present or future, either directly
or indirectly through the City, or otherwise, whether by virtue of
any constitution, charter, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any penalty or otherwise, all such liability, if
any, being by the acceptance of the Bonds and as a part of the
consideration of their issuance specially waived and released.
22. Ratification. All action not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Ordinance heretofore taken by the City or its
officers and otherwise by the City directed toward the issuance and
delivery of the Bonds is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed.
23 . 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

certified by them under oath.

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:

for the use of prospective purchasers of the Bonds,
including the Purchaser and its associates, if any;
C. The execution of the Letter of Representations
and such certificates as may reasonably be required by
27
the Purchaser relating to the signing of the Bonds; the
tenure and identity of the City officials; the assessed
valuation and indebtedness of the City; if in accordance
with the facts the absence of litigation, pending or
threatened, affecting the validity of the Bonds; the tax
treatment of interest on the Bonds under federal and
State of Colorado income tax laws; delivery of the Bonds
and receipt of the Bond purchase price; and the accuracy
and completeness of information provided in the final
official statement prepared for prospective purchasers
of the Bonds;
d. The making of various statements, recitals,
certifications and warranties provided in the form of
Bond set forth in this Ordinance; and
e. The payment of the interest on the Bonds as
the same shall become due and the principal of the Bonds
at maturity or upon prior redemption without further
warrant or order.
25. Ordinance Irrepealable. This Ordinance is, and
shall constitute, a legislative measure of the City, and after the
Bonds are issued and 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 principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or discharged.
26. Repealer. All acts, orders, resolutions,
ordinances, or parts thereof taken by the City in conflict with
this Ordinance are hereby repealed, except that this repealer shall
not be construed so as to revive any act, order, resolution,

of the paying agent or registrar is authorized or required by law
to remain closed.
So long as the Registered Owner is the securities
depository or a nominee therefor, the securities depository is to
disburse any payments received, through its participants or
otherwise, to the beneficial owner or owners hereof.
Neither the City nor the paying agent has any
responsibility or obligation for the payment to any participant,
any beneficial owner hereof or any other person or entity (except
the Registered Owner) of the principal of, interest on or any
premium due in connection with the redemption of this Bond.
Neither the City nor the registrar has any responsibility
or obligation with respect to the accuracy of the records of the
securities depository or a nominee therefor or any participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds or the delivery to
any participant, beneficial owner or any other person or entity
(except the Registered Owner) of any notice with respect to the
Bonds.
This Bond is issued by the City for the purpose of
acquiring, constructing and installing improvements to the existing
water system of the City pursuant to, by virtue of, and in full
conformity with the Constitution of the State of Colorado, the
Charter of the City and all other laws of the State of Colorado
thereunto enabling, and pursuant to an ordinance of the City duly
adopted prior to the issuance of this Bond. k
It is hereby recited, certified and warranted that the
total indebtedness of the City, including that of this Bond, does
not exceed any constitutional, charter or statutory limitation of
the State of Colorado or of the City; that provision has been made
for the levy and collection of general (ad valorem) taxes on all
the taxable property within the City and for the pledge of the net
revenues derived from the operation of the water system of the City
in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on this
55
Bond as the same become due; and that this Bond constitutes a first
lien (but not necessarily an exclusive first lien) on said net
revenues.
Reference is hereby made to the ordinance of the City
authorizing the issuance of this Bond, and to any and all
modifications thereof and amendments thereto, for a description of
the provisions, terms and conditions upon which this Bond is issued
and secured, including, without limitation, definition of terms
used herein, the nature and extent of the security for this Bond,
provisions with respect to the application of the proceeds of this
Bond, the rights, duties and obligations of the City and the
members of its Council, and the rights of the Registered Owner.
This Bond is transferable only upon the registration
books of the City by the Financial Officer of the City, as transfer
agent, at the request of the Registered Owner or his, her or its
duly authorized attorney-in-fact or legal representative, upon
surrender hereof together with a written instrument of transfer
duly executed by the Registered Owner or his, her or its duly
authorized attorney-in-fact or legal representative with guaranty
of signature satisfactory to the transfer agent, containing written
instructions as to the details of the transfer, along with the
social security number or federal employer identification number
of the transferee and, if the transferee is a trust, the names and
social security numbers of the settlors and beneficiaries of the
trust. The transfer agent is not required to transfer ownership
of this Bond during the fifteen (15) days prior to the first
mailing of any notice of redemption or to transfer ownership of any
Bond selected for redemption on or after the date of such mailing.
The Registered Owner may also exchange this Bond for another Bond
or Bonds of authorized denominations. Transfers and exchanges are
to be made without charge, except that the transfer agent may
require payment of a sum sufficient to defray any tax or other
governmental charge that may hereafter be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Bonds. No transfer of this Bond
is to be effective until entered on the registration books of the
City. In the case of every transfer or exchange, the transfer
agent is to deliver to the new registered owner a new Bond or Bonds
of the same aggregate principal amount, maturing in the same year,
and bearing interest at the same per annum interest rate as the 4
Bond or Bonds surrendered. Such Bond or Bonds are to be dated as
of their date of authentication. The City may deem and treat the
person or entity in whose name this Bond is last registered upon
the books of the City as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of receiving payment of the principal of, interest on, and any
premium due in connection with the redemption of this Bond and for
all other purposes, and all such payments so made to such person
or entity or upon his, her or its order will be valid and effective
to satisfy and discharge the liability of the City upon this Bond
56
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and the City will not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the City nor the transfer agent has any
responsibility or obligation with respect to the accuracy of the
records of the securities depository or its participants regarding
any ownership interest in the Bonds or transfers thereof.
The City may remove the securities depository and the
securities depository may resign by giving sixty (60) days' written
notice to the other of such removal or resignation. Additionally,
the securities depository is to be removed sixty (60) days after
receipt by the City of written notice from the securities
depository to the effect that the securities depository has
received written notice form participants having interests, as
shown in the records of the securities depository, in an aggregate
principal amount of not less than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Bonds to the effect that the
securities depository is unable or unwilling to discharge its
responsibilities or a continuation of the requirement that all of
the outstanding Bonds be registered in the name of the securities
depository or a nominee therefor is not in the best interests of
the beneficial owners. Upon the removal or resignation of the
securities depository, the securities depository is to take such
action as may be necessary to assure the orderly transfer of the
computerized book-entry system with respect to the Bonds to a
successor securities depository or, if no successor securities
depository is appointed as herein provided, the transfer of the
Bonds in certificate form to the beneficial owners or their
designees. Upon the giving of notice by the City of the removal
of the securities depository, the giving of notice by the
securities depository of its resignation or the receipt by the City
of notice with respect to the written notice by participants
referred to herein, the City may, within sixty (60) days after the
giving of such notice, appoint a successor securities depository
upon such terms and conditions as the City shall impose. Any such
successor securities depository must at all times be a registered
clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and in good
standing thereunder. If the City fails to appoint a successor
securities depository within such time period, the Bonds are no °
longer to be restricted to being registered in the name of the
securities depository or a nominee therefor, but may be registered
in whatever name or names registered owners transferring or
exchanging Bonds shall designate.

12. Disposition of Bonds and Proceeds. Ther Bonds, when
executed, authenticated and registered as provided herein, shall
be delivered by the City to the Purchaser upon receipt of full
payment therefor in accordance with the Bond Purchase Agreement.
Interest accrued on the Bonds from the date thereof to
the delivery date thereof shall be applied to the payment of
interest first due on the Bonds. The original proceeds of the
Bonds, exclusive of accrued interest, shall be used for the
purposes stated herein and for no other purposes, provided,
however, that any portion of the Bond proceeds may be temporarily
invested pending such use, with such temporary investment to be
made consistent with the covenant made in Section 17 hereof.
Neither the Purchaser nor any subsequent owner of the Bonds shall
be in any way responsible for the application of the proceeds of
the Bonds by the City or any of its officers.
13 . Water Fund. The original proceeds of the Bonds,
exclusive of accrued interest, shall be deposited in the Water Fund
of the City (the "Water Fund") . Bond proceeds so deposited shall
be withdrawn and expended for the purpose of acquiring,
constructing and installing the Improvements to the Water System
and paying the costs of issuing the Bonds. Any Bond proceeds
remaining in the Water Fund after the completion of the
Improvements to the Water System shall be applied to any lawful
purposes of the City as the Council may hereafter determine.
14. Pledge of Ad Valorem Taxes and Water Revenues. If
required, the interest to become due on the Bonds in 1992 shall be
advanced from any revenues or funds of the City lawfully available
therefor. For the purpose of reimbursing any such advance and also
for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the
Bonds as the same become due and payable, the Council shall
annually fix and certify a rate of levy for ad valorem taxes to the
Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado, which
taxes, when levied on all of the taxable property in the City in
each year so long as any Bonds remain outstanding, will raise ad
valorem tax revenues sufficient to make such reimbursement and to
pay such Bond principal and interest as the same become due. In
the event any of said levies shall fail to produce an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
becoming due in the next succeeding year, the deficit shall be made
up in the next levy, and taxes shall be levied until the principal
of and interest on the Bonds shall be fully paid or discharged.
In addition to the provision for tax levies for the
payment of the Bonds, the City hereby irrevocably pledges to pay
the principal of and the interest on the Bonds from the net
revenues of the Water System. The City hereby reserves the right
to secure, without restriction, any water bonds, water refunding
59
1
bonds and leases and contracts relating to the Water System
hereafter issued or entered into by the City equally and ratably
with the Bonds. The City also hereby commits itself to fix and
annually to maintain rates, fees, tolls, and charges for water and
services furnished by the Water System which, together with other
moneys legally available therefor, will be sufficient to pay
operation and maintenance expenses of the Water System and the
principal of and interest on all bonds and other obligations of the
City pertaining to the Water System, as they respectively become
due, and for the other payments required by Art. XII, Section 6 of
the Charter of the City. The term "net revenues" as used herein
refers to the gross revenues of the Water System after the payment
of operation and maintenance expenses. The term "operation and
maintenance expenses" as used herein means all current reasonable
and necessary expenses of operating, maintaining and repairing the
Water System, but does not include any allowance for depreciation
or capital replacements and improvements. The term "Water System"
as used herein includes not only the property comprising the Water
System of the City at the present time, but all additions and
betterments thereto and improvements and extensions thereto which
may hereafter be acquired, constructed or installed by the City.
It shall be the duty of the Council annually at the time
and in the manner provided by law, if such action shall be
necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Ordinance, to ratify
and carry out the provisions hereof with reference to the levy and
collection of the ad valorem taxes and the imposition,
administration, enforcement and collection of the water rates,
fees, tolls and charges, all as herein specified, and to require
the officers of the City to levy, extend and collect said ad
valorem taxes in the manner provided by law and to impose,
administer, enforce and collect said water rates, fees, tolls and
charges for the purpose of providing funds for the payment of the
operation and maintenance expenses of the Water System and the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same
become due.
15. Use of Water Fund. Interest accrued on the Bonds
from the date thereof to the delivery date thereof and all ad
valorem taxes and water revenues, when collected, shall be
deposited in the Water Fund. From any moneys on deposit in the a
Water Fund or, if required, from any other unrestricted fund of
the City, the City shall pay each maturing installment of principal
and interest on the Bonds and any other obligations issued and made
payable from the Water Fund until the Bonds, both principal and
interest, shall be fully paid or discharged. Nothing herein
contained shall be so construed as to prevent the City from
committing and applying any other funds or revenues that may now
or hereafter be in the possession of the City and legally available
for the purpose of payment of the principal of and interest on the
60
s
Bonds. The Water Fund shall be maintained as a sinking fund for
the mandatory redemption of Bonds maturing in the year 2012. Any
mandatory sinking fund redemption shall be treated as a maturing
installment of principal for purposes of this Section 15.
16. Excess Investment Earnings Account. There is hereby
created within the Water Fund the City of Fort Collins, Colorado,
General Obligation Water Refunding and Improvement Bonds, Series
1992A, Excess Investment Earnings Account (the "Excess Investment
Earnings Account") , into which the Financial Officer shall
transfer, and from which the Financial officer shall pay, the
amount of required arbitrage rebate, if any, due to the United
States government under Sections 103 and 148 (f) (2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax Code") , and regulations
promulgated thereunder. The Financial Officer shall determine such
amounts in the manner required by the Tax Code and related
regulations. Transfer of the required arbitrage rebate amounts
shall be made from the Water Fund, provided, however, that required
arbitrage rebate payments shall be made to the United States
government from any legally available funds if there are no moneys
in the Water Fund available for such purpose.
All amounts in the Excess Investment Earnings Account,
including income earned from the investment of moneys therein,
shall be held by the Financial Officer free and clear of any lien
created by this Ordinance, and the Financial Officer shall pay
required arbitrage rebate amounts over to the United States
government from time to time as the Financial Officer shall
determine, provided that the Financial Officer shall so pay over
to the United States of America (a) not less frequently than once
each five years after the date of issuance of the Bonds, an amount
equal to 90% of the required arbitrage rebate amount earned during
such period (and not theretofore paid to the United States
government) and (b) not later than sixty (60) days after the
redemption of the last Bond, 100% of the required arbitrage rebate
amount.
17. Tax Matters. The City shall make no investment or
other use of the proceeds of the Bonds at any time during the term
thereof which will cause the interest on the Bonds to be includible
in gross income under the Tax Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder and shall comply with all other covenants and
certifications relating to the Tax Code made by it in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds. The foregoing covenant shall
remain in effect notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance
of the Bonds until the date on which all obligations of the City
in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code have been met.
18. Covenants. The City covenants that so long as any
of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid:
61
a. It will continue to operate and manage the
Water System in an efficient and economical manner and
keep and maintain separate accounts of the receipts and
disbursements thereof in such manner that the revenues
thereof may at all times be readily and accurately
determined.
b. It will not sell or alienate any of the
property constituting all or any part of the Water System
in any manner or to any extent as might reduce the
security provided for the payment of the Bonds, but the
City may sell any portion of such property which shall
have been replaced by other similar property of at least
equal value or which shall cease to be necessary for the
efficient operation of the Water System.
C. The rates, fees, tolls and charges for all
services rendered by the Water System to the City and to
its inhabitants and to all consumers within or without
the boundaries of the City shall be reasonable and just,
taking into account and consideration the cost and value
of the Water System and the proper and necessary
allowance for the depreciation thereof and the amounts
necessary for the retirement of all bonds and other
securities or obligations payable from the revenues of
the Water System and the interest thereon.
d. There shall be charged against all purchasers
of service such rates, fees, tolls, and charges as shall
be adequate to meet the requirements of this Ordinance.
e. The City shall cause all rates, fees, tolls and
charges appertaining to the Water System to be collected
as soon as reasonable, shall prescribe and enforce rules
and regulations for the payment thereof and for the
connection with and the disconnection from properties of
the Water System, and shall provide methods of collection
and penalties, including but not limited to denial of
service for non-payment of such rates, fees, tolls and
charges to the end that net revenues of the Water System
shall be adequate to meet the requirements hereof.
f. At regular periods each year it will render
bills for water services furnished. Until paid, all
water rates, fees, tolls and charges shall constitute a
lien on the property served, and the City shall take
whatever action is legally permissible promptly to
enforce and collect delinquent water rates, fees, tolls
and charges and to preserve and enforce said liens.
62
' r
g. At least once each year it will furnish the
Purchaser with a complete statement of the receipts and
disbursements of and for the Water System for the fiscal
year immediately preceding such statement.
h. It will carry workers' compensation, public
liability and other forms of insurance on insurable Water
System property in such amounts as is customarily carried
on prudently operated systems of like character.
19. Apvrooriation of Sums. The sums required to pay the
costs of issuing the Bonds are hereby appropriated for that
purpose. The sums hereinbefore provided to pay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds, when due, are hereby appropriated for
that purpose, and said amounts for each year shall be included in
the annual budget and the appropriations ordinance, resolution, or
measures to be adopted or passed by the Council in each year while
any of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid.
20. Defeasance. When all of the principal of, the
interest on, and any premium due in connection with the redemption
of the Bonds have been duly paid, all obligations hereunder shall
thereby be discharged and the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to
be outstanding. There shall be deemed to be such due payment when
the City has placed in escrow or in trust with a trust bank located
within the State of Colorado bills, certificates of indebtedness,
notes, bonds or similar securities which are direct obligations of,
or the principal and interest of which obligations are
unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America

minimum yield available for such purpose from Federal Securities
in which such amount may wholly or in part be initially invested)
to pay all principal of, interest on, and any premium due in
connection with the redemption of the Bonds. The Federal
Securities shall become due prior to the respective times at which
the proceeds thereof shall be needed in accordance with a schedule
established and agreed upon between the City and such bank at the
time of the creation of the escrow or trust, or the Federal
Securities shall be subject to redemption at the option of the
owner thereof to assure such availability as so needed to meet such °
schedule. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit a partial
defeasance of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof.
21. Rights and Immunities. Except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended
or shall be construed to confer upon or to give to any person,
other than the City and the registered owners from time to time of
the Bonds, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason hereof or
any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof. All the covenants,
63
stipulations, promises and agreements herein contained by and on
behalf of the City shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of
the City and any registered owner of the Bonds.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal
of, interest on, or any premium due in connection with the
redemption of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or otherwise
upon this Ordinance, or any other instrument pertaining hereto,
against any individual member of the Council or any officer or
other agent of the City, past, present or future, either directly
or indirectly through the City, or otherwise, whether by virtue of
any constitution, charter, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any penalty or otherwise, all such liability, if
any, being by the acceptance of the Bonds and as a part of the
consideration of their issuance specially waived and released.

warrant or order.
