herein to the extent that such modification or expansion, in the
opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, will not adversely
affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on
the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that
regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose
additional requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the
Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the
extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond

by DTC to evidence the City's intent to establish said book-entry

On D~ ecem~r 3, 1991, the City Council authorized the staff to proceed with establishing
a master ordinance for the Revenue Financing Program of the Water and Sewer System.
The Master Ordinance is intended to establish a master program under which revenue
supported indebtedness attributable to the system and payable from pledged revenues can
be incurred. Revenue debt may be issued, incurred or assumed pursuant to the terms of
a Supplement. The supplement will provide the authorization, issuance, sale, delivery,
form ,characteristics, provisions of payment and redemption, and security of each issue
or Parity Obligation and any other matters related to Parity Obligation not
inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas or the provisions of
the ordinance.
The City entered into a negotiated sale to complete the refunding of Water and Sewer
Revenue Debt. The rocess concluded with the refunding of X150,630,000 Water and Sewer
Revenue Bonds and 50,000,000 in Commercial Paper for Water and Sewer. The refunding
of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds had a present value saving of X2,108,020. The
principal debt was reduced by X9,080,000. The total new debt for revenue and
commercial paper is X192,825,000 verses the refunded debt of X200,630,000.
Today, the Council is being asked to approve the master ordinance and the first
supplement for the refunding. The proceeds from the refunding will be used to provide
funds which with other available funds of the City Water and Sewer Fund will be
sufficient to refund the outstanding revenue bonds and the Commercial Paper debt.
