INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS
See also guest lists attached.
DISCUSSION OF PARKING ORDINANCE
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the parking ordinance and handouts were
provided showing the results of the parking survey.
Alderwoman Spears opened the floor for discussion.
Joe Barry,502 Terri Lane
Mr.Barry asked if this matter would be placed on a ballot for a vote as stated at the last
meeting. He said the yellow postcard gave 2 choices for yes and 1 choice for no. Many
of the families receiving the postcards have multiple vehicles,so the survey did not
reflect true results and was a waste of money.
Ms.Spears said putting it on a ballot is still an option. Another option is an advisory
committee identifying problem streets with City staff identifying the width of various
streets to determine if there are issues.
Mr.Barry replied that those factors should have been addressed before the survey. He
asked who the original sponsors of the ordinance were. Ms.Spears said it originated at
the Public Safety Committee and addressed the Fox Hill area. Former Alderwoman
Wanda Ohare brought this forward in response to complaints in her ward. It was the
Council's decision to survey the residents,bearing in mind there are multiple persons per
house. Mr.Barry said based on that fact,the survey was actually worthless.
Alderwoman Burd agreed with Mr.Barry that the Council had stated that this matter
would be put on a ballot. Direction was given by the Mayor for a committee to determine
the wording to be used. Instead,the committee recommended other action. She will
recommend to the other Aldermen,that this matter be put on the April ballot.
Mr.Barry said he thought the"showing"would be better on the ballot.
The Minutes of the Special Meeting of the City Council—October 26,2006—page 2
Alderman Bock gave his recollection of the process that occurred. He said that after the
previous town meeting,the matter returned to the Public Safety committee where it was
stated that Oswego had done such a survey. It was also stated that only about 14%of
residents would turn out for a vote while a survey would produce a better response.
(Yorkville's response was 55%). He said several surveys,referendums etc.,could be
conducted with different results every time. At the end of that Public Safety meeting,it
was agreed that the survey was the better solution.
Regarding the survey,.Alderwoman Burd said one was mailed to each household and that
it included non-registered voters. She agreed that the Council had decided to put the
matter to a vote,based on the minutes of that town meeting.
Chief Martin said that of approximately 4,700 households in town,2,700 responses were
received along with citizens' written perspectives of the ban.
Loree Kine-Sprine St.
Resident Loree King asked what the purpose of this meeting was and especially in view
of the fact that so many Aldermen were missing. Ms. Spears said that it was to provide a
copy of the survey results to citizens. Ms.King said she had a concern over the wording
on the survey and that"a ban is a ban!" She added that the previous minutes did promise
a vote.
Carol Foster—Fox Hill,1312 Chestnut Circle
She said that it was unfair to continue saying that former Alderwoman Wanda Ohare
requested the ban. Ms.Foster said Fox Hill residents only initially wished to prohibit
commercial vehicles from parking on the street overnight. She thought the response to
the survey was excellent.
Barbara Collett(sp7)-John St.resident
She stated that John St.is the widest street in Fox Hill and she is unable to park in front
of her house-she must park across the street and that there is no parking in front of the
park. She also said she did not receive the survey and when she called City Hall,she was
told she would be mailed a ballot. This will be addressed according to Ms. Spears. Ms.
Collett asked what the specific problem was with John St.,with only 10 houses,that
prohibits parking there. This resulted from complaints received and addressed,
according to Chief Martin. She felt the residents were being chastised based on those
complaints.
Shelley Butler-601 Teri Lane
Ms.Butler said the surveys were only sent to residents who receive water bills and_
therefore many residents did not receive the survey.
Traci Pleckham-221 Fairhaven
She felt the survey yielded a good response. She added that she feels most residents do
not favor a full parking ban on all streets and that possibly some of the responses came
from residents who live on narrow streets. The ban might not be appropriate in some
areas she said.
Roger Murphy-803 Teri Lane
Mr.Murphy said that the 50%response rate sounds good until one knows that some
residents did not receive the survey. In his household,all five residents would vote no to
the ban. Because of that,he said this matter should be put to a vote. He wondered how
many residents knew that there was some type of ordinance on some streets already. He
also said that it is difficult to find ordinances on the City website. At the previous
parking ban meeting,he said most residents there were opposed to the ban. He said that
numbers can be interpreted many ways and that he wants the matter to be put to a vote to
give everyone over 18 a chance to voice their opinion. He added that the parking ban did -
not work in Oswego. In the survey his own family conducted,some other families were
split on their opinions. Therefore,the first family member to receive the survey could
have completed it and did not reflect the view of each person residing there. At the
The Minutes of the Special Meetine of the City Council—October 26,2006—paae 3
conclusion of the meeting,Mr.Murphy stated that the yellow postcards already said"no"
to the ban.
Larry Kine-Spring St.
Mr.King said that survey numbers can be interpreted many ways and that the newspaper
article gave the wrong impression to readers. He asked what is the root cause for the
parking ban. Ms. Spears responded that some areas are public safety issues and the
Police received complaints about specific areas. Mr.King did not feel it was fair to make
changes for a few exceptions because those are enforcement issues. Chief Martin said
the Police tried to respond to the complaints and to please as many as possible. He
invited Mr.King to report any complaints since the police cannot be everywhere. Mr.
King said he has complained about construction violations on Spring St. They were
responded to and signs were put in place. He also felt that Police must determine if there
is a complaint or if an issue is an actual problem. Since the commercial vehicle problem
was addressed,Mr.King asked what the issue is now. He felt there are streets that need
to be reviewed on a per-case-basis. He also suggested that some of the new,curved
streets are more dangerous. The administrative costs of enforcing such a ban are
enormous,he said.
Ashley Barry-502 Teri Lane
Ms.Barry said there are currently 6 cars in her household and she did not know where
they would park if the ban were enforced. Chief Martin responded that if there were a
hardship,they would be allowed to park on the street and the issue would be revisited in
six months. Guests could also be given permission to park there. She also said she lives
on a cul-de-sac with no through traffic. If cul-de-sacs were excluded from the ban,then
many residents might park on those streets. Ms.Spears said that one resident of a cul-de-
sac was threatened when he wanted cul-de-sacs excluded from a total ban. Ms.Barry
suggested the City should possibly restrict parking on narrow streets.
Ms.Spears said another option is a non-binding"advisory referendum"at the next
election. Attorney Wyeth explained this further. The referendum would be in question
form and the results would be given consideration by the Council. This would be
somewhat similar to the survey.
Mark and Barbara Gilmour-no address given
Mr.Gilmour stated he had been to the previous town meeting. He has a trailer and
commercial vehicle that he must park 2 blocks from his house at night. He did not feel
preferential treatment should be given for cul-de-sacs. Chief Martin said there are no
hardship allowances for secondary vehicles,only for passenger vehicles. Mr.Gilmour
said he makes his living with this commercial vehicle and he now has his house for sale
after 12 years'residence,since this is a hardship for him. He asked about possibly
grandfathering such situations. Chief Martin noted that he had worked with Mr.Gilmour
to find a parking place for his vehicle.
Ms.Gilmour added that their daughter has 3 years of high school left and since they have
their home for sale,she was present to support the other citizens opposed to the ban. She
said the inconvenience overwhelms the statistics and asked why Yorkville would do this
to their residents. She concluded that there were many more reasons to not have a ban.
Another citizen present asked if the suggested ban is due to all the new subdivisions and
that more thought should be given before allowing so many new homes to be built. Ms.
Burd noted that the requests for the ban originated from established neighborhoods.
Alderwoman Spears said she would recommend an advisory referendum preceded by
additional discussion and news articles.
Alderwoman Burd said she felt the issue was back to the beginning. She suggested
streets be considered on a case-by-case basis and restrictions placed accordingly. She
was not in favor of"blanket restrictions".
The Minutes of the Special Meeting of the City Council—October 26,2006—page 4
Ms.Butler suggested that different setbacks might be needed to allow for longer
driveways for additional parking. It was noted by Ms.Spears that the Council recently
passed an ordinance requiring longer driveways.
A resident of the apartments on Marketview said he had received a survey. There is
parking on only one side of the street in this complex and he added that some towns have
laws allowing parking at least on one side of the street at night.
At this time there was no further comment and Alderwoman Spears said this matter
would come back to City Council for consideration.
The meeting ended at 8:30pm.

City Council consent agenda.
4. PC 2006-26 Cobblestone—Preliminary PUD,Preliminary Plat and Draft Development

agenda.

south edge of that site and he said it is hoped that eventually the Post Office will exit onto Crimson
rather than Parkway. The Staff is recommending a cross access easement and the Post Office will
make the final determination. This item moves to the September 26a'consent agenda subject to
items 3 &4 in Mr. Miller's report.
Page 3 of 9
6. PC 2006-57 Prestwick of Yorkville Unit 2—Final Plat
This is Phase 2 of Prestwick and is located at Rte. 126 and Ashley Road. The Plan Commission
has given unanimous approval with some further engineering comments to come. Travis Miller
said the plan meets with staff approval. This moves forward to the City Council September 26a'
consent agenda.
7. PC 2006-63%ndallwood Estates—Final Plat
Attorney John Philipchuck was present on behalf of Kendallwood Estates. He gave an overview
of this development and said the site is 50 acres with 83 single-family homes. They are currently
working on a second access that would be off Rte. 26 with the primary access off Van Emmon.
Alderman James asked about a bike trail in this development. Mr. Miller replied that Corn Ed
approval would be needed and it is hoped this approval will be granted. The contractor would then
be asked to construct this trail or provide an estimate for one.
With many trucks in and out due to construction,Alderman Besco expressed concern about Van
Emmon being able to handle the weight of the trucks. Mr. Philipchuck said a temporary access
could be secured off Rte. 126 and the Mayor said this could remain until permanent access is
approved. Language can be added in the documents allowing this action, according to Attorney
Wyeth. This matter moves to the consent agenda of September 26a', subject to staff comments.
8. PC 2006-05 Bristol Ridge—Annexation,Zoning and Preliminary Plan
Kevin Carrara spoke on behalf of this development. He concurred with the agreement and added
that City staff wished to discuss the provision for recapture for the Galena watermain extension.
Mr. Miller requested a cash donation rather than land donation for the schools. This moves to the
September 26 Council meeting for a vote.
9. PD 2005-4 Schramm—Annexation and Zoning
Travis Miller said the City wishes to annex this property that is located south of Rte. 30 and east of
Rte. 47 and is comprised of 182 acres. This property would have a mixed use with R-4 zoning.
The proposed residential density is 5.16 units per acre and at the time discussions began, 12 units
per acre were allowed. Alderwoman Spears took issue with the density saying it was almost
double that allowed now. However, the Mayor said this agreement has been on the books for a
long time and this density is a compromise.
Other comments included:
1. The townhomes look the same, various elevations should be explored
2. Other developers had to absorb extra costs in relation to the proposed density
3. Gateway to City should have a more aesthetic look than row after row of townhomes
4. A landscape buffer was suggested for a more pleasing look
This moves to the City Council agenda on September 26`x', however, not on the consent agenda.
Page 4of9
10. PC 2006-61 GCMProperties—Special Use Request
This request is for a daycare facility for 20 children with 2 staff members. It is scheduled for a
Public Hearing September 25th and will be placed on the September 26th Council agenda pending
the outcome.
IL PC 2006-78 Westhaven—Lakewood Homes—PUD Amendment Request
Kurt Wandrey, Sr. Vice President of Lakewood Homes, contract owner of this property, gave an
overview of this property and the company. He introduced Jim Truesdell,Director of Planning&
Zoning of Lakewood Homes. He said his company is taking over what was the former Del Webb
development. Mr. Truesdell provided an overview of the development and the types of housing
that would be built. There is a total of 312 acres, 5 units per acre and an overall density of 3.2 units
per acre. The main entrance will be off Galena Road while the development itself, will be served
by a ring road. Housing prices would range from$200,000 to $300,000.
Alderman James commented that he likes the single-family homes and the senior community that
will have a low impact. While it is age-restricted, some of the impact fees will be used for a 15.2-
acre school on a non-age restricted portion. The average age will be 60 with a range of 2-3%
young residents being allowed.
There was brief discussion on the construction access off Galena into the commercial area. The
Mayor reminded the developer that in the previous development discussions, the residents would
later decide if that access would be kept. Mr. Wandrey said he would like to see it become
permanent.
The following facts were also noted: there will be no SSA's in this development,watermains will
be underground and the streets will not be City responsibility. City staff also recommends a
provision to allow access to the property to conduct shallow well resource analysis and the Mayor
concurred.
This item will move to the October 10th City Council meeting.
12. PC 2006-37 O'Keefe Property—Annexation
Attorney John Philipchuck represented this property that is located at the southeast comer of
Comeils Road and Rte. 47. The annexation agreement and zoning petition was before the
committee and Travis Miller reported that City staff recommended approval of the September 12th
document. This item moves forward to the September 26t°City Council.
13. PC 2006-34 Kendall Marketplace—Rezoning
Travis Miller said this is the ordinance for rezoning and grants entitlement. The PUD has already
been completed. This moves to the City Council consent agenda for September 26th.
14. EDC2006-19 South Area Joint Engineering Funding Agreement
Some re-calculations need to be completed for this project and it is hoped that the documents will
be completed and turned in by week's end. Front-funding has been requested for YBSD and the
estimated cost for engineering is $1.9 million. This will be placed on a future agenda.
Page 5 of 9
15. EDC 2006-23 Amend SSA Policy
Attorney Wyeth was asked to provide language for SSA's and asked for comments. Ms. Burd
asked for a definition of"local"radius of miles. The Mayor explained that it would be within the
City limits. Further clarification suggested using the language"companies within City limits" and
that they should be treated more favorably. Ms. Burd added that any developer who asks for an
SSA should be willing to enter into this agreement. This item will return to EDC on October 17`h
(next agenda item out of sequence)
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS:
Alderwoman Burd asked to discuss additional business next on the agenda. She said she tried to
obtain employee phone records from the Finance Department,however, had received a memo that
stated those records were sensitive material that were only viewable at the Attorney's office. She
asked why it had taken so long to get a reply. Ms. Mika replied that responses were needed from
other department heads as well as authorization from the Attorney. Mr. Wyeth stated that these
records involve City employee names and could result in employment law issues. Ms. Burd
countered that information she got from a website state that those phone records and a-mails are
public record. She said that there is a problem of getting information to all Aldermen.
Mayor Prochaska said that no one is hying to hide information. He added that he would likely
issue a memo to employees that they have no expectation of privacy in such matters.
Ms. Burd also said that the City Council should determine what information is given to the press
and should set a policy. Alderman Munns said that appointments should not be necessary to obtain
City information while Alderman Besco said the public perceives secrecy as wrongdoing and that
the City Council should determine what is released.
A former department head was allowed to purchase a City phone according to Ms. Spears,who
also wondered who had given that permission and what the cost of the phone was. Mr. Crois said
the former employee was allowed to use the phone prior to Finance Director Mika's arrival. Ms.
Spears suggested that reimbursement should be made.
This item will move forward to City Council on the September 26`h agenda.
Mayor Prochaska said the owner of a horse farm near Grand Reserve school had approached him
regarding fencing. That owner said students from the school are able to get near the horses and
could be injured. The City is researching a compromise and a suggestion was made that the
fencing be opaque.
Alderman Munns suggested that the City develop an inventory system. Small items under$500 are
not recommended as part of the inventory system. Currently, a rotation replacement policy is also
being reviewed by the City. A large database would be needed to track equipment via the budget
and tagging systems are reportedly very expensive. At the conclusion of the discussion, Alderman
Besco suggested researching how other municipalities track their property.

Each Certificate shall bear interest from the later of its Dated Date or from the most
recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the
principal amount of such Certificate is paid or duly provided for, such interest (computed upon
-10-
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) being payable on January 1 and July 1 of
each year, commencing on July 1, 2007. Interest on each Certificate shall be paid by check or
draft of the Certificate Registrar, payable upon presentation thereof in lawful money of the
United States of America, to the person in whose name such Certificate is registered at the close
of business on the applicable Record Date, and mailed to the registered owner of the Certificate
at the address as shown in the Certificate Registrar or at such other address furnished in writing
by such registered owner, or as otherwise may be agreed with the Depository for so long as the
Depository or its nominee is the registered owner as of a given Record Date. The principal of or
redemption price due on the Certificates shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of
America upon presentation thereof at the office maintained for such purpose of the Certificate
Registrar as currently maintained, as may be relocated from time to time, or at successor
Certificate Registrar and locality.
Section 7. Book Entry Provisions. The Certificates shall be initially issued in the form
of a separate single fully registered Certificate for each of the maturities of the Certificates.
Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate
Register in the name of the Depository or a designee or nominee of the Depository (such
depository or nominee being the "Book Entry Owner"). Except as otherwise expressly provided,
all of the outstanding Certificates from time to time shall be registered in the Certificate Register
in the name of the Book Entry Owner (and accordingly in Book Entry Form as such term is used
in this Ordinance). Any City officer, as representative of the City, is hereby authorized,
empowered, and directed to execute and deliver or to utilize a previously executed and delivered
Letter of Representations or Blanket Letter of Representations (either being the "Letter of
Representations") substantially in the form common in the industry, or with such changes
therein as any officer executing the Letter of Representations on behalf of the City shall approve,
-11-
his or her execution thereof to constitute conclusive evidence of approval of such changes, as
shall be necessary to effectuate Book Entry Form. Without limiting the generality of the
authority given with respect to entering into such Letter of Representations, it may contain
provisions relating to (a)payment procedures, (b) transfers of the Certificates or of beneficial
interests therein, (c) redemption notices and procedures unique to the Depository, (d) additional
notices or communications, and (e) amendment from time to time to conform with changing
customs and practices with respect to securities industry transfer and payment practices. With
respect to Certificates registered in the Certificate Register in the name of the Book Entry
Owner, none of the City, any of its financial officers, or the Certificate Registrar shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank,or other financial institution for which the
Depository holds Certificates from time to time as securities depository (each such broker-dealer,
bank, or other financial institution being referred to herein as a "Depository Participant") or to
any person on behalf of whom such a Depository Participant holds an interest in the Certificates.
Without limiting the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence, the City, any of its
financial officers, and the Certificate Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with
respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Book Entry Owner, or any
Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Certificates, (b) the delivery
to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Certificate
as shown in the Certificate Register or as otherwise expressly provided in the Letter of
Representations, of any notice with respect to the Certificates, including any notice of
redemption, or (c)the payment to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of a Certificate as shown in the Certificate Register, of any amount with respect
to principal of or interest on the Certificates. No person other than a registered owner of a
Certificate as shown in the Certificate Register shall receive a certificate with respect to any
-12-
Certificate. In the event that (a) the City determines that the Depository is incapable of
discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Letter of Representations, (b) the
agreement among the City, the Certificate Registrar, and the Depository evidenced by the Letter
of Representations shall be terminated for any reason, or (c) the City determines that it is in the
best interests of the City or of the beneficial owners of the Certificates either that they be able to
obtain certificated Certificates or that another depository is preferable, the City shall notify the
Depository, and the Depository shall notify the Depository Participants, of the availability of
physical Certificates; and the Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the
Certificate Register in the name of the Book Entry Owner. Alternatively, at such time, the City
may determine that the Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a
successor depository operating a system accommodating Book Entry Form, as may be acceptable
to the City, or such depository's agent or designee, but if the City does not select such alternate
book entry system, then the Certificates shall be registered in whatever name or names registered
owners of Certificates transferring or exchanging Certificates shall designate, in accordance with
the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 8. Execution; Authentication. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the manual or duly authorized facsimile signature of its Mayor and attested by the
manual or duly authorized facsimile signature of its Clerk, as they may determine, and shall have
impressed or imprinted thereon the corporate seal or facsimile thereof of the City. In case any
such officer whose signature shall appear on any Certificate shall cease to be such officer before
the delivery of such Certificate, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. All Certificates shall
have thereon a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form hereinafter set forth, duly
executed by the Certificate Registrar as authenticating agent of the City and showing the date of
-13-
authentication. No Certificate shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any
security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until such certificate of authentication shall
have been duly executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication upon any such Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that such Certificate has
been authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance. The certificate of authentication on any
Certificate shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an authorized officer of the
Certificate Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of
authentication on all of the Certificates issued hereunder.
Section 9. Optional Redemption. Those of the Certificates due on or after January 1,
20_, are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City, from any available
funds, in whole or in part, on any date on or after January 1, 20, and, if in part, in any order of
maturity as selected by the City, and if less than an entire maturity, in integral multiples of
$5,000, selected by lot by the Certificate Registrar as hereinafter provided, at a redemption price
of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
Section 10. Mandatory Redemption. The Bonds due on January 1, 20_, are subject to
mandatory redemption, in integral multiples of$5,000 selected by lot by the Bond Registrar, at a
redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on January 1, 20_, in the
principal amount of$
The Bonds due on January 1, 20_, are subject to mandatory redemption, in integral
multiples of $5,000 selected by lot by the Bond Registrar, at a redemption price of par plus

follows:
YEAR PRINCIPAL AMOUNT

The principal amounts of Bonds to be mandatorily redeemed in each year may be reduced
through the earlier optional redemption thereof, with any partial optional redemptions of such
Bonds credited against future mandatory redemption requirements in such order of the
mandatory redemption dates as the City may determine. In addition, on or prior to the 60th day
preceding any mandatory redemption date, the Bond Registrar may, and if directed by the City
Council shall, purchase Bonds required to be retired on such mandatory redemption date. Any
such Bonds so purchased shall be cancelled and the principal amount thereof shall be credited
against the mandatory redemption required on such next mandatory redemption date.
Section 11. Redemption Procedures. The Certificates subject to redemption shall be
identified, notice given, and paid and redeemed pursuant to the procedures as follows:
A. Notice to Registrar. The Certificate Registrar shall effect the mandatory
redemption of the Certificates described in Section 10 hereof without further order or
direction. The City shall, at least 45 days prior to a redemption date (unless a shorter
-15-
time period shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar), notify the Certificate
Registrar of any optional redemption date and of the maturities (and, if applicable, the
scheduled mandatory redemptions affected) and principal amounts of Certificates to be
redeemed.
B. Selection of Certificates within a Maturity. For purposes of any
redemption of less than all of the Certificates of a single maturity, the particular
Certificates or portions of Certificates to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the
Certificate Registrar for the Certificates of such maturity by such method of lottery as the
Certificate Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, that such lottery shall
provide for the selection for redemption of Certificates or portions thereof so that any
$5,000 Certificate or $5,000 portion of a Certificate shall be as likely to be called for
redemption as any other such $5,000 Certificate or $5,000 portion. The Certificate
Registrar shall make such selection upon the earlier of the irrevocable receipt of funds
sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Certificates to be redeemed or the time of the
giving of official notice of redemption.
C. Official Notice of Redemption. The Certificate Registrar shall promptly
notify the City in writing of the Certificates or portions of Certificates selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Certificate selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Unless waived by the registered owner of
Certificates to be redeemed, official notice of any such redemption shall be given by the
Certificate Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the redemption notice by first class
U.S. mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to each registered owner of the Certificate or Certificates to be redeemed at
the address shown on the Certificate Register or at such other address as is furnished in
-16-
writing by such registered owner to the Certificate Registrar. All official notices of
redemption shall include the name of the Certificates and at least the information as
follows:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price;
(3) if less than all of the outstanding Certificates of a particular maturity
are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of
Certificates within such maturity, the respective principal amounts) of the
Certificates to be redeemed;
(4) a statement that on the redemption date the redemption price will
become due and payable upon each such Certificate or portion thereof called for
redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date;
and
(5) the place where such Certificates are to be surrendered for payment of
the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the office maintained for
the purpose by the Certificate Registrar.
D. Conditional Redemption. Unless moneys sufficient to pay the redemption
price of the Certificates to be redeemed shall have been received by the Certificate
Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may, at the option
of the City, state that said redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt of such
moneys by the Certificate Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. If such
moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not
redeem such Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar shall give notice, in the same
-17-
manner in which the notice of redemption shall have been given, that such moneys were
not so received and that such Certificates will not be redeemed.
E. Certificates Shall Become Due. Subject to the stated condition in
paragraph D, official notice of redemption having been given as described, the
Certificates or portions of Certificates so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date,
become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after
such date (unless the City shall not make full payment of the redemption price) such
Certificates or portions of Certificates shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of
such Certificates for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Certificates shall be
paid by the Certificate Registrar at the redemption price. The procedure for the payment
of interest due as part of the redemption price shall be as herein provided for payment of
interest otherwise due.
F. Insufficiency in Notice Not Affecting Other Certificates; Failure to
Receive Notice; Waiver. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular registered owner of a Certificate, shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other registered owners. Notice
having been properly given, failure of a registered owner of a Certificate to receive such
notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or
redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by a
registered owner of a Certificate entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the
event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
registered owners shall be filed with the Certificate Registrar, but such filing shall not be
a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In
lieu of the foregoing official notice, so long as the Certificates are held in Book Entry
-18-
Form, notice may be given as provided in the Letter of Representations, and the giving of
such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Depository and the Book Entry Owner, as
registered owner, of the foregoing notice.
G. New Certificate in Amount Not Redeemed. Upon surrender for any partial
redemption of any Certificate, there shall be prepared for the registered owner a new
Certificate or Certificates of like tenor, of authorized denominations, of the same
maturity, and bearing the same rate of interest in the amount of the unpaid principal.
H. Effect of Nonpayment upon Redemption. If any Certificate or portion of
Certificate called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the
redemption date at the rate borne by the Certificate or portion of Certificate so called for
redemption.
L Certificates to Be Cancelled; Payment to Identify Certificates. All
Certificates which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the
Certificate Registrar and shall not be reissued. Upon the payment of the redemption price
of Certificates being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such
purpose shall bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Certificates
being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.
J. Additional Notice. The City agrees to provide such additional notice of
redemption as it may deem advisable at such time as it determines to redeem Certificates,
taking into account any requirements or guidance of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the Government Accounting
Standards Board, or any other federal or state agency having jurisdiction or authority in
such matters; provided, however, that such additional notice shall be (1) advisory in
-19-
nature, (2) solely in the discretion of the City, (3)not be a condition precedent of a valid
redemption or a part of the Certificate contract, and (4) any failure or defect in such
notice shall not delay or invalidate the redemption of Certificates for which proper
official notice shall have been given. Reference is also made to the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Undertaking of the City with respect to the Certificates, which
may contain other provisions relating to notice of redemption of Certificates.
K. Certificate Registrar to Advise City. As part of its duties hereunder, the
Certificate Registrar shall prepare and forward to the City a statement as to notices given
with respect to each redemption together with copies of the notices as mailed.
Section 12. Registration of Certificates; Persons Treated as Owners. The City shall
cause books (the "Certificate Register" as herein defined)for the registration and for the transfer
of the Certificates as provided in this Ordinance to be kept at the office maintained for such
purpose by the Certificate Registrar, which is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar of
the City for the Certificates. The City is authorized to prepare, and the Certificate Registrar or
such other agent as the City may designate shall keep custody of, multiple Certificate blanks
executed by the City for use in the transfer and exchange of Certificates. Subject to the
provisions of this Ordinance relating to the Certificates in Book Entry Form, any Certificate may
be transferred or exchanged, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations, and upon payment
of the charges as set forth in this Ordinance. Upon surrender for transfer or exchange of any
Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar maintained for the purpose, duly endorsed by
or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and duly executed by the registered owner or an attorney
for such owner duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the Certificate Registrar
shall authenticate, date, and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees or, in the case of
-20-
an exchange, the registered owner, a new fully registered Certificate or Certificates of the same
series and of like tenor, of the same maturity, bearing the same interest rate, of authorized
denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount. The Certificate Registrar shall not be
required to transfer or exchange any Certificate during the period from the close of business on
the Record Date for an interest payment to the opening of business on such interest payment date
or during the period of 15 days preceding the giving of notice of redemption of Certificates or to
transfer or exchange any Certificate all or a portion of which has been called for redemption.
The execution by the City of any fully registered Certificate shall constitute full and due
authorization of such Certificate; and the Certificate Registrar shall thereby be authorized to
authenticate, date, and deliver such Certificate; provided, however, the principal amount of
Certificates of each maturity authenticated by the Certificate Registrar shall not at any one time
exceed the authorized principal amount of Certificates for such maturity less the amount of such
Certificates which have been paid. The person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered
shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the
principal of or interest on any Certificate shall be made only to or upon the order of the
registered owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Certificate to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid. No service charge shall be made to any registered owner of Certificates for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the City or the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Section 13. Form of Certificate. The Certificates shall be in substantially the form
hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that if the text of the Certificates is to be printed in its
entirety on the front side of the Certificates, then the second paragraph on the front side and the
-21-
legend "See Reverse Side for Additional Provisions" shall be omitted and the text of paragraphs

Section 5. Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds due on and after

-10-
any available funds, in whole or in part, on any date on or after December 30, 20_, and if in
part, in any order of maturity as selected by the City, and if less than an entire maturity, in
integral multiples of$5,000, selected by lot by the Bond Registrar as hereinafter provided, at the
redemption price of par, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
(b) General Redemption Provisions. The City shall, at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Bond Registrar), notify
the Bond Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount and maturities of Bonds
to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a single
maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot not
more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Bond Registrar for the Bonds of such
maturity by such method of lottery as the Bond Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate;
provided, that such lottery shall provide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or portions
thereof so that any $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion of a Bond shall be as likely to be called for
redemption as any other such$5,000 Bond or$5,000 portion.
The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City in writing of the Bonds or portions of
Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
Unless waived by the registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any
such redemption shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the
redemption notice by first-class mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption to each registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the
address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such
registered owner to the Bond Registrar.

All official notices of redemption shall include the name of the Bonds and at least the
information as follows:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price;
(3) if less than all of the Bonds of a single series and maturity are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Bonds, the
respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;
(4) a statement that on the redemption date the redemption price will become
due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that
interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; and
(5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the
redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal corporate trust office of
the Bond Registrar.
Prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Bond Registrar an amount of
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to
be redeemed on that date.
Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of
Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the
redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in
the payment of the redemption price), such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear
interest. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular registered owner, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect
to other Bonds. Notice having been properly given, failure of a registered owner to receive such
notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or redemption
action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by the registered owner
-12-
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by registered owners shall be filed with the Bond
Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.
Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds
shall be paid by the Bond Registrar at the redemption price. The procedure for payment of
interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be as herein provided for payment of interest
otherwise due. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared
for the registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of like tenor, of authorized denominations, of the
same maturity and bearing the same rate of interest in the amount of the unpaid principal. If any
Bond or portion of Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and premium (if any) shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear
interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Bond or portion of Bond so called for
redemption. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond
Registrar and shall not be reissued.
Section 6. Execution;Authentication. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the
City with the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and attested with the manual or
facsimile signature of the City Clerk or duly authorized City Clerk, as they may determine, and
shall have impressed or imprinted thereon the corporate seal or facsimile thereof of the City. In
case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before
the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery.
All Bonds shall have thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
hereinafter set forth duly executed by the Bond Registrar as authenticating agent of the City and
showing the date of authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be
-13-
entitled to any security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until such certificate of
authentication shall have been duly executed by the Bond Registrar by manual signature, and
such certificate of authentication upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such
Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance. The certificate of
authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an
authorized officer of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign
the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder.
Section 7. Registration of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners; Global Book-Entry
System. (a) General. The City shall cause books (the "Bond Register") for the registration and
for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Ordinance to be kept at the principal corporate
trust office of the Bond Registrar, which is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar of the
City. The City is authorized to prepare, and the Bond Registrar shall keep custody of, multiple
Bond blanks executed by the City for use in the transfer and exchange of Bonds.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the
Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar and duly executed by, the registered owner or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall
authenticate, date and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered
Bond or Bonds of the same maturity of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal
amount. Any fully registered Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at said principal corporate trust
office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Bond or Bonds of the same
maturity of other authorized denominations. The execution by the City of any fully registered
Bond shall constitute full and due authorization of such Bond and the Bond Registrar shall
thereby be authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Bond, provided, however, the
principal amount of outstanding Bonds of each maturity authenticated by the Bond Registrar
-14-
shall not exceed the authorized principal amount of Bonds for such maturity less previous
retirements.
The Bond Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during the
period beginning at the close of business on the 15th day of the month of any interest payment
date on such Bond and ending at the opening of business on such interest payment date nor to
transfer or exchange any Bond after notice calling such Bond for redemption has been mailed,
nor during a period of fifteen days next preceding mailing of a notice of redemption of any
Bonds.
The person in whose name any Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of or interest on any
Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal
representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the City or
the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Bonds
except in the case of the issuance of a Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion of a Bond
surrendered for redemption.
(b) Global Book-Entry System. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a
separate single fully registered Bond for each of the maturities of the Bonds as provided in
Section 4 hereof, and the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the Bond Register
in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto ("Cede"), as nominee of The Depository
Trust Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns ("DTC"). All of the
outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of
DTC, except as hereinafter provided. The Mayor, the City Treasurer and City Clerk are hereby
-15-
authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the City such letters to or agreements with DTC
and the Bond Registrar as shall be necessary to effectuate such book-entry system (any such
letter or agreement being referred to herein as the `Representation Letter").
With respect to the Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as
nominee of DTC, the City and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to
any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds Bonds from time to
time as securities depository (each such broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution being
referred to herein as a "DTC Participant") or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC
Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence,
the City and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to the
Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any
other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any
amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds. The City and the Bond Registrar
may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Bond Register as
the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest
with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters
with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and
for all other purposes whatsoever. The Bond Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on
the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective registered owners of the Bonds, as shown
in the Bond Register, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with
respect to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
-16-
paid. No person other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, shall
receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal
and interest with respect to any Bond. Upon delivery by DTC to the Bond Registrar of written
notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede, the
name "Cede" in this ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
In the event that (i) the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (ii) the agreement among the
City, the Bond Registrar and DTC evidenced by the Representation Letter shall be terminated for
any reason or (iii) the City determines that it is in the best interests of the beneficial owners of
the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the City shall notify DTC and DTC
Participants of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates and the Bonds shall no longer
be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC.
At the time, the City may determine that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and
deposited with such other depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable
to the City, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the City does not select such alternate
global book-entry system, then the Bonds may be registered in whatever name or names
registered owners of Bonds transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate,in accordance with
the provisions of Section 7(a) hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any
Bond is registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to
principal of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made
and given, respectively,in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
Section 8. Form of Bonds. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form hereinafter set
forth;provided, however, that if the text of the Bonds is to be printed in its entirety on the front
side of the Bonds, then the second paragraph on the front side and the legend "See Reverse Side

Revenues, or additional alternate bonds on a parity with the Bonds, in each case pursuant to the
terms of the Bond Ordinance.
The Bonds are payable from (a) (i) moneys to the credit of the Alternate Bond and
Interest Subaccount within the Surplus Account of the Waterworks and Sewerage Fund (the

Section 11. Continuation of Waterworks and Sewerage Fund and Accounts; Flow of
Funds. Upon the issuance of any of the Bonds, the System shall continue to be operated on a
Fiscal Year basis. All of the Revenues shall be set aside as collected and be deposited into that
certain separate fund and in an account in a bank designated by the Corporate Authorities, which
fund has heretofore been created and designated as the "Waterworks and Sewerage Fund" of the
City and is expressly continued hereunder, and which fund shall constitute a trust fund for the
sole purpose of carrying out the covenants, terms, and conditions of the Outstanding Alternate
Bond Ordinances, this Ordinance and any Future Bond Ordinances. There shall be and there are
hereby continued separate accounts in the Waterworks and Sewerage Fund to be known as the
"Operation and Maintenance Account," such other accounts as may be established under any
Future Bond Ordinances, the "Depreciation Account," and the "Surplus Account," to which there
shall be credited on or before the first day of each month by the financial officer of the City,
without any further official action or direction, in the order in which said accounts are hereinafter
mentioned, all moneys held in the Fund,in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Operation and Maintenance Account:
There shall be credited to or retained in the Operation and Maintenance Account
an amount sufficient, when added to the amount then on deposit in said Account,
to establish or maintain a balance to an amount not less than the amount
considered necessary to pay Operation and Maintenance Costs for the then current
month,
(b) Accounts Created Pursuant to Future Bond Ordinances:
Future Bond Ordinances may create additional accounts in the Fund for the
payment and security of waterworks and sewerage revenue bonds that hereafter
may be issued by the City. Amounts in the Fund shall be credited to and
transferred from said accounts in accordance with the terms of the Future Bond
Ordinances.
_28_
(c) Depreciation Account:
Beginning the month after the delivery of the Bonds, there shall be credited to the
Depreciation Account and held, in cash and investments, such sum as the
Corporate Authorities may deem necessary in order to provide an adequate
depreciation fund for the System. In Future Bond Ordinances, the City may
covenant to make specific monthly deposits to said Depreciation Account and to
accumulate funds therein.
Amounts to the credit of said Depreciation Account shall be used for (i) the
payment of the cost of extraordinary maintenance, necessary repairs and
replacements, or contingencies, the payment for which no other funds are
available, in order that the System may at all times be able to render efficient
service, (ii) for the purpose of acquiring or constructing improvements and
extensions to the System, and (iii) the payment of principal of or interest and
applicable premium on any Outstanding Bonds at any time when there are no
other funds available for that purpose in order to prevent a default. Future Bond
Ordinances may provide for additional deposits to said Depreciation Account and
additional uses and transfers of the funds on deposit in said Depreciation Account.
(d) Surplus Account:
All moneys remaining in the Fund, after crediting the required amounts to the
respective accounts hereinabove provided for, and after making up any deficiency
in said accounts, shall be credited to the Surplus Account. Funds in the Surplus
Account shall first be used to make up any subsequent deficiencies in any of said
accounts and then shall be deposited to a separate and segregated account hereby
created and designated the "Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount of the
Surplus Account' (the "Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount"), as follows:
A. Upon the delivery of any of the Bonds, there shall be paid into the
Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount in each month after the required
payments have been made into the Accounts above described, a fractional amount
of the interest becoming due on the next succeeding interest payment date on all
Outstanding Bonds and Outstanding Alternate Bonds and a fractional amount of
the principal becoming due on the next succeeding principal maturity date of all
Outstanding Bonds and Outstanding Alternate Bonds and until there shall have
been accumulated in the Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount on or before the
month preceding such maturity date of interest or principal, an amount sufficient
to pay such principal or interest, or both, of all Outstanding Bonds and
Outstanding Alternate Bonds.
B. In computing the fractional amount to be set aside each month in said
Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount, the fraction shall be so computed that
sufficient funds will be set aside in said Subaccount and will be available for the
prompt payment of such principal of and interest on all Outstanding Bonds and
Outstanding Alternate Bonds as the same will become due and shall be not less
-29-
than one-sixth of the interest becoming due on the next succeeding interest
payment date and not less than one-twelve of the principal becoming due on the
next succeeding principal payment date on all Outstanding Bonds and
Outstanding Alternate Bonds until there is sufficient money in said Subaccount to
pay such principal or interest or both.
C. Credits to the Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount may be
suspended in any Fiscal Year at such time as there shall be a sufficient sum, held
in cash and investments, in said Subaccount to meet principal and interest
requirements in said Subaccount for the balance of such Fiscal Year, but such
credits shall be resumed at the beginning of the next Fiscal Year.
D. All moneys in said Subaccount shall be used only for the purpose of
paying interest on and principal of Outstanding Bonds, Outstanding Alternate
Bonds and Additional Bonds.
E. The portion of the Pledged Revenues not constituting Revenues,
namely, (i) all collections distributed to the City pursuant to the State Revenue
Sharing Act from those taxes imposed by the State of Illinois pursuant to

supplemented and amended from time to time, or substitute taxes therefor as
provided by the State of Illinois in the future, and (ii) such other funds of the City
as may be necessary and on hand from time to time and lawfully available for
such purpose, shall also be deposited in the Alternate Bond and Interest
Subaccount from time to time, as necessary to provide for payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds.
F. Any funds remaining in the Surplus Account after the making the
aforesaid deposits to the credit of the Alternate Bond and Interest Subaccount, at
the discretion of the Corporate Authorities shall be used for the purpose of paying
debt service in connection with those certain loan agreements with the State of
Illinois, acting through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and then for
any purpose enumerated in any Future Bond Ordinance or for any other lawful

not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within
its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the
Bonds) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Bonds to be
an arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the IRC, or would otherwise
cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for
federal income tax purposes. The City acknowledges that, in the event of an examination by the
Internal Revenue Service of the exemption from Federal income taxation for interest paid on the
-40-
Bonds, under present rules, the City is treated as the "taxpayer" in such examination and agrees
that it will respond in a commercially reasonable manner to any inquiries from the Internal
Revenue Service in connection with such an examination.

whatever federal tax law is adopted in the future which applies to the Bonds and affects the tax-
exempt status of the Bonds.
The Corporate Authorities hereby authorize the officials of the City responsible for
issuing the Bonds, the same being the Mayor, City Clerk and City Treasurer to make such further
covenants and certifications as may be necessary to assure that the use thereof will not cause the
