Section 9: The net revenues of the syste:::. including the net
revenues of the waterworks system now owned and operated uy the
city are hereby irrevocably pledged to the ?syment of the principal
of. and interest one said entire authorized issue of waterworks
system revenue bonds. For the b..nefit of the original purchaser
and for the benefit of any and all subsequent holders of said
ponds, coupons, or any part thereof, and in addition to all other
provisions and covenants in the laws of the state of ''Texas and
in this ordihaace, it is expressly stipulated:
A. Rates: The city shall fix and maintain rates and
collect charges for tine facilities and services afforded by the
system which will provide revenues sufficient at all ti.r -es:
( 1) To )ay for all operations. maintenance de-
preciation, replacements and betterment c'iarges
Of the system.
(2) To establish and maintain the 3ond Fund.
(3) To pay all outstanding indebtedness against
the system, other than the bonds, as and
when the same becomes due. Provided also
that no free service of the system shall
be allowed. and should the city or any of
its agencldp arc. ins trdmentalzties.jmake. -us e
of the services and facilities of the system.
payment of the reasonable value thereof
shall be made by the city out of the funds
derivdd from sources other than the revenues
and income of the sy:.tem.
B. Use of Revenues: The city will deposit as col-
46
lected all revenues derived from the operation of the syste_. , into
a separate account (herein called the 6ystem Fund ") which shall
be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the city. The
aystem r'und shall be administered as follows:
(1) 1aintenance and Operation: From the moneys in
the 6ystem kund, the city shall pray the expense of operation and
maintenance, including all salaries, labor materials, interest and
such rep:;irs and extensions as, in the judgment of the governing
body of the city, are necessary to keep the plant or utility in
operation and render adequate service to such city and inhabitants
thereof, or such as might be necessary to me,t some physical accident
or condition which could otherwise impair the original securities.
(2) Bond Fund: After the payment of all expenses
provided for in the next preceding paragraph, the city shall pay,
from moneys in the ayetem Fund, into the Bond Fund during each
year beginning with the date of these bonds, an amount equal to
100 per centum of the amount required to meet the interest and
principal payments falling due on or before the next maturity date
of the bonds. In addition to such nayment, the city shall pay
into the Bond Fund from the aystem Fund in each year M per ceatum
of the above required amount until such ti-e as there is in the
Bond round an amount sufficient to meet the interest and principal
payments falling due on or beiore the next maturity date of the
bonds and the interest and principal payments on the bonds for tao
years thereafter. The amount required to be paid into the 3ond Fund
in each year shall be in substantially equal monthly payments
from the moneys in the 6ystem fund after deductions have been made
for paying the reasonable cost of operating anu i.aintaiuing the
syste_ for such month. If the revenues of the system in any month,
after deductions for operation and maintenance as set out above,
are insufficient to make the required payment into the Bond Vand,
then the amount of any deficiency in the payment made shall be
added to the amount otherwise required to be paid into the 3ond
r'und in the next month. It is the intent of this provision that
the sums paid into the Bond Fund shall be in excess of the im-
mediate requirements for payment of current interest and principal
on the bonds, until there has been accumulated in the Bond Fund,
as a reserve for contingencies, an amount sufficient to service
the bonds for two years. The m;;neys in the Bond r'und shall be
used solely for the purpose of praying, interest on and principal
of the bonds until all bonds have been retired; provided that,
when the total in the Bond xund is equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the bonfts until all bonds have been retired: provided that,
when the total in the Bond Fund is equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the bonds outstanding plus accrued interest thereon, the
moneys in the Bond r'und may be used to purchase bonds of this issue
at a price, exlusive of accrued interest, not exceed the prin-
cipal amount thereof. The moneys paid into the Bond Fund shall be
deposited in The National Bank of Commerce of Houston, Houston, Texas,
and shall be continuously secured by a valid pledge to the city of
direct obligations of t_.e United Ntates of America having an aggre-
gate market vilue exlusive of accrued interest at all times at
least equ it to such Bond Fund. The Bond i'und, at the option of the
city, may be invested in such direct obligations of the United
atates of America which shall be deposited :in escrow in The Natioual
Banff: of Com;:ierce of Houston, Houston, Texas, under and escrow agreement.
If such funds are so invested and deposited in escro the city shall
47
have the right to have sold through the escrow agent an the open
market a sufficient amount of said securities in order to meet
its obligations of principal and interest in the event it does
not have sufficient funds, uninvested, on hand for such purpose.
Under such circumstances, the i�:ayor is hereby authorized, ordered
and directed to give fifteen days written notice to such escrow
agent of the necessity to sell Said securities on the open market.
After such sale, the :coneys resulting )therefrom shall belong to
the Bond fund and shall be available to pay such obligations of
principal and interest.

mairitinaing the system and after paying the amounts required to

bonds authorized in this ordinance. In no event, while any part
of said X250,000 bonds are outstanding, will the city mortgage or
otherwise encumber the system or any part thereof, or sell, lease
or otherwise dispose of any substantial portion of such syste::,.
