2.2. Findings. The City does hereby find as follows:
2.2.1. The City hereby expressly finds that if the Project is not undertaken, the System will
pose a health hazard to the City and its inhabitants and will make the City unable to comply
with state and federal law.
2.2.2. Because of the functional interdependence of the various portions of the System, the
fact that the System may not lawfully operate unless it complies with State and federal laws,
including SDCL Chapter 34A-2, and the federal Clean Water Act, and the nature of the
improvements financed, the City hereby finds and determines that the Project will
substantially benefit the entire System and all of its users within the meaning of Sections 15

up to $32,426,100 of the costs of the Project through the issuance of bonds payable from the
revenue of the Project and other funds secured by the City. The City hereby determines that
because the Revenue Bond is issued in connection with a financing agreement described in

Revenue Bond.
3.2. Approval of Loan Agreement. The execution and delivery of the Revenue Obligation
Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), the form of which is on file with the Finance
Officer (the “Finance Officer”) and open to public inspection, between the City as Borrower

Agreement herein referred to and made a part of this Resolution is on file in the office of the
Finance Officer and is available for inspection by any interested party.
3.3. Approval of Revenue Bond. The issuance of a revenue bond in a principal amount not
to exceed $32,426,100 as determined according to the Loan Agreement in the form and
content set forth in Appendix B attached to the form of Loan Agreement (the “Revenue

and the Mayor, Finance Officer, and other appropriate officials shall be and are hereby

provisions of the Act are hereby expressly incorporated herein as provided in Section 19 of
the Act.
3.4. Pledge of Revenues. The Revenue Bond together with the interest thereon, shall not
constitute a charge against the City's general credit or taxing power, but shall be a limited
obligation of the City payable solely out of the Project Debt Service Account, which
payments, revenues and receipts are hereby and in the Loan Agreement pledged and assigned
for the equal and ratable payments of the Revenue Bond and shall be used for no other
purpose than to pay the principal of, interest and Administrative Surcharge on the Revenue
Bond, except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in the Loan Agreement (including the
purpose of securing Additional Bonds issued as permitted by the terms thereof). The City
covenants and agrees to charge rates for all services from the Project or establish special
charges or surcharges which will be sufficient to provide for the payments upon the Revenue
Bond issued hereunder as and when the same become due, and as may be necessary to
provide for the operation and maintenance and repairs of the Project, and depreciation, and
the Rate Resolution shall be revised from time to time so as to produce these amounts. The
City hereby reserves the right to determine on a periodic basis the appropriate allocation of
operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation, repair and reserves associated with the
facilities financed with the Revenue Bond, provided that such determination of allocable
operation and maintenance expenses shall in no event abrogate, abridge or otherwise
contravene the covenant of the City set forth in this Section 3 or any other covenant or
agreement in the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 4. Special Charge or Surcharge for Revenue Bond.
4.1. The City does hereby create the Revenue Bond Special-Surcharge District (the
“Surcharge District”) which shall include all users which benefit from the Project. There
shall be charged a special charge or surcharge pursuant to Section 15 of the Act for the
services provided by Project financed by the Revenue Bond. The special charge or surcharge
shall be segregated from other revenues of the System and shall be used for the payment of
the Revenue Bond. The special charge or surcharge shall create net income, remaining from
time to time after first paying all reasonable and current expenses of maintenance, repairs,
replacements and operation, sufficient to fund interest, reserve and debt service fund annual
requirements and shall be 110% of the debt service requirements on the Revenue Bond.
4.2. Rates and collection. The rate herein specific will be collected as a special charge or
18172
surcharge for the Project. This special charge or surcharge shall remain in effect until such
time as the Revenue Bond is defeased or paid in full.
4.3. Initial Surcharge. The initial special charge or surcharge shall be set by resolution and
collected at the same time as other charges of the utility. All users within the Surcharge
District which benefit from the Project, current and future, shall be charged the special charge
or surcharge. The special charge or surcharge is found to be equitable for the services
provided by the Project. The special charge or surcharge shall begin at such time as will
produce sufficient revenue to pay principal of, interest and Administrative Surcharge on the
Revenue Bond when due.
4.4. Segregation. The Finance Officer shall set up bookkeeping accounts in accordance with
South Dakota Legislative Audit guidelines for the segregation of the revenue, special charges
and surcharges.
4.5. Periodic review. The amount of the surcharge shall be reviewed from time to time, not
less than yearly, and shall be modified in order to produce such funds as are necessary and
required to comply with the Loan Agreement’s rate covenant and to pay principal of, interest
and Administrative Surcharge on the Revenue Bond when due. The surcharge may be set by
resolution in accordance with this Section. The rate resolution shall be necessary for the
support of government and shall be effective upon passage.
SECTION 5. Additional Bonds. As permitted by Sections 8 and 9 of the Act, Additional
Bonds payable from revenues and income of the System or Project may be issued, as
permitted in the Loan Agreement, and no provision of this Resolution shall have the effect of
restricting the issuance of, or impairing the lien of, such additional parity bonds with respect
to the net revenues or income from the extensions, additions or improvements. The City shall
have the right to issue additional bonds secured by a lien subordinate to the lien from the
Revenue Bond pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 6. Project Fund Accounts. For the purpose of application and proper allocation of
the income of the Project and to secure the payment of principal, Administrative Surcharge
and interest on the Revenue Bond, the following mandatory asset segregations shall be
included in the sewer system account of the City and shall be used solely for the following
respective purposes until payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Revenue
Bond:

Revenue Account the net revenues as defined in Section 17 of the Act derived from the
operation of the Project collected pursuant to the resolutions and ordinances of the City of
Aberdeen, South Dakota (collectively the “Rate Resolution”). Moneys from the Project
Revenue Account shall be transferred periodically into separate funds and accounts as
provided below.
6.2. Project Debt Service Account. Out of the revenues in the Project Revenue Account,

become due of the next maturing principal of, interest and Administrative Surcharge on the
Revenue Bonds and any reserve determined by the City’s governing body to be necessary.
The amount set aside monthly shall be not less than one-third of the total principal, interest,
and Administrative Surcharge payable on the following February 15, May 15, August 15 or
November 15 and if there shall be any deficiency in the amount previously set aside, then the
amount of such deficiency shall be added to the current requirement.
6.3. Depreciation Account. There shall be established a General Depreciation Account. Out
of the revenues of the Project Revenue Account there shall be set aside each month into the
General Depreciation Account an amount determined by the Common Council to be a proper
and adequate amount for repair and depreciation of the Project.
6.4. Project Surplus Account. There shall be established the Project Surplus Account.
Revenues remaining in the Project Revenue Account at the end of any fiscal year after all
periodic transfers have been made therefrom as above required, shall be deemed to be surplus
and shall be transferred to the Project Surplus Account. If at any time there shall exist any
default in making any periodic transfer to the Project Debt Service Account, the Common
Council shall authorize the Finance Officer to rectify such default so far as possible by the
transfer of money from the Project Surplus Account. If any such default shall exist as to
more than one account or fund at any time, then such transfer shall be made in the order such
funds and accounts are listed above.
When not required to restore a current deficiency in the Project Debt Service Account,
moneys in the Project Surplus Account from time to time may be used for any of the
following purposes and not otherwise:
(a) To redeem and prepay the Revenue Bond when and as such Revenue Bond becomes
prepayable according to its terms;
(b) To pay for repairs of or for the construction and installation of improvements or
additions to the System; and, if the balances in the Project Debt Service Account and the

(c) To be held as a reserve for redemption and prepayment of any bonds of the System
which are not then but will later be prepayable according to their terms; or
(d) To be used for any other authorized municipal purpose designated by the Common
Council.

other account of the Fund to any other fund of the City, nor shall such moneys at any time be
loaned to other municipal funds or invested in warrants, special improvements bonds or other
obligations payable from other funds, except as provided in this Section.
