The City shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemp-
tion 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 of Bonds of each maturity 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.
-10- •
•
The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City and
the Paying Agent 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 registered or certified 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:
(a) the redemption date;
(b) the redemption price, including premium (if any);
(c) if less than all of the outstanding Bonds of a parti-
cular maturity are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in
the case of partial redemption of Bonds within such maturity, the
respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;
(d) 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
-11-
•
(e) 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 Paying Agent.
Prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit
with the Paying Agent 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 inter-
est. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular registered
owner of a Bond, 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 Bond 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 Bond 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
-12- 0
•
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.
Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accor-
dance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying
Agent 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. 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 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. ,
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice
shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City as set
out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure
to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any
manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if
notice thereof is given as above prescribed.
• -13-
•
Each further notice of redemption given hereunder shall
contain the information required above for an official notice of
redemption plus (a) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being re-
deemed; (b) the date of issue of the Bonds as originally issued;
(c) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed; (d)
the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (e) any other
descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds
being redeemed.

least 35 days before the redemption date by registered or certi-
fied mail or overnight delivery service to all registered secu-
rities depositories then in the business of holding substantial
amounts of obligations of types comprising the Bonds (such depos-
itories now including Depository Trust Company of New York, New •
York, and Midwest Securities Trust Company of Chicago, Illinois)

discretion of the Bond Registrar, that disseminate notice of

one time in The Bond'Buyer, New York, New York or, if such publi-
cation is impractical or unlikely to reach a substantial number
of the registered owners of the Bonds, in some other financial
newspaper or journal which regularly carries notices of redemp-
tion of other obligations similar to the Bonds, such publication
to be. made at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemp-
tion.

redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such
purpose shall bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and
maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such
check or other transfer.

Section 10. Tax Levy
For the purpose of providing funds required to pay the
interest on the Bonds promptly when and as the same falls due,
and to pay and discharge the principal thereof at maturity, there
is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property within the
City, in the years for which any of the Bonds are outstanding, a
direct annual tax sufficient for that purpose; and there is here-
by levied on all of the taxable property in the City, in addition
to all other taxes, direct annual taxes (the Pledged Taxes) in
the amount not to exceed $1,750,000 in the years 1990 to 2009,
-26- •
•
inclusive, as shall be more specifically enumerated by the
Finance Director/Comptroller of the City in a Certificate of Tax
Levy to be filed with and made a part of this Ordinance.
Interest or principal coming due at any time when there
are insufficient funds on hand from the Pledged Taxes to pay the
same shall be paid promptly when due from current funds on hand
in advance of the collection of the Pledged Taxes herein levied;
and when the Pledged Taxes shall have been collected, reimburse-
ment shall be made to said funds in the amount so advanced.
Whenever other funds from any' lawful source are made
available for the purpose of paying any principal of or interest
on the Bonds so as to enable the abatement of the taxes levied
herein for the payment of same, the City Council shall, by proper
• proceedings, direct the deposit of such funds into the Bond Fund
and further shall direct the abatement of the taxes by the amount
so deposited. A certified copy or other notification of any such
proceedings abating taxes may then be filed with the County Clerk
of The County of Cook, Illinois, in ,a timely manner to effect
such abatement.
The City covenants and agrees with the purchasers and
registered owners of the Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds
remain outstanding, the City will take no action or fail to take
any action which in any way would adversely affect the ability of
the City to levy and collect the foregoing tax levy. The City
and its officers will comply with all present and future appli-
• -27-
•

levied, extended and collected as provided herein and deposited
into the Bond Fund.

a copy hereof, certified by the City Clerk of the City, shall be
filed with the County Clerk of The County of Cook, Illinois; and
said County Clerk shall in and for each of the years 1990 to
2009, inclusive, ascertain the rate percent required to produce
the aggregate tax hereinbefore provided to be levied in each of
said years; and said County Clerk shall (to the extent said tax
has not been abated as provided herein) extend the same for col-
lection on the tax books in connection with any other taxes that •
may be levied in said years in and by the City for general corpo-
rate purposes of the City; and in said years such annual tax
shall be levied and collected by and for and on behalf of the
City in like manner as provided by law for the levy and collec-
tion of taxes for general corporate .purposes for said years,
without limit as to either rate or amount, and in addition to and
in excess of all other taxes.
Section 12. Sale of Bonds

time to time by the City Council in such manner as it may deter-
mine. The City Council shall, upon making the award of sale of
the Bonds to such bidder, adopt a resolution confirming the sale
-28- •
•
and fixing the interest rate or rates on such Bonds in accordance
with the terms of the acceptable bid. Such Bonds shall there-
after be prepared bearing interest at such interest rate or rates
in accordance with the resolution confirming sale thereof, and
after the execution of said Bonds in the manner as herein pro-
vided, the same shall then be delivered to the purchaser thereof
upon receipt of the purchase price therefor. The sale of Bonds
as provided in said resolution may be further reduced in accor-
dance with the requirements of this Ordinance and the terms of
the offer• of sale of the Bonds by the Finance Director/
Comptroller of the City acting subsequent to the time of said
resolution.
Section 13. Creation of
Funds
and Appropriations
Bond proceeds and other
funds
of the City as noted are
hereby appropriated as follows:
A. Accrued interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds
shall be and is hereby appropriated for the purpose of paying the
first interest due on the Bonds and to such end is hereby ordered
to be deposited into the "Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 1990,
Debt Service Fund" (the "Debt Service Fund"), hereby created,
which shall be the fund for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds.
B. The Pledged Taxes shall either be deposited into
the Debt Service Fund and used solely and only for paying the
principal of and interest on the Bonds or be used to reimburse a
• -29-
•
fund or account from which advances to the Debt Service Fund may
have been made to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds prior
to receipt of Pledged Taxes. Interest income or investment
profit earned in the Debt Service Fund shall be retained in the
Debt Service Fund for payment of the principal of or interest on
the Bonds on the interest payment date next after such interest
or profit is received or, to the extent lawful and as determined
by the City Council, transferred to such other fund as may be
determined. The City hereby pledges, as equal and ratable
security for the Bonds, all present and future proceeds of the
Pledged Taxes for the sole benefit of the registered owners of
the Bonds, subject to the reserved right of the City Council to
transfer certain interest income or investment profit earned in •
the Debt Service Fund to other funds of the City, as described in
the preceding sentence.
C. The amount necessary of the proceeds of the Bonds
shall be deposited into a separate fund, hereby created, desig-
nated the "Expense Fund" to be used to pay expenses of issuance
of the Bonds. Disbursements from such fund shall be made from
time to time as necessary. Any excess in said fund shall be
deposited into the Project Fund hereinafter created after six
months from the date of issuance of the Bonds.
D. The sum necessary, together with such money in the
debt service funds for the Prior Bonds as may be advisable for
the purpose, shall be used to provide for the Refunding, and the
-300
-
•
payment of such expenses as may be designed, pursuant to the
provisions of an Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent as is
designated, all in accordance with the provisions of an Escrow
Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
to this Ordinance, made a part hereof by this reference, and
hereby approved; the officers appearing signatory to such Escrow
Agreement are hereby authorized and directed to execute same,
their execution to constitute conclusive proof of action in
accordance with this Ordinance, and approval of all completions
or revisions necessary or appropriate to effect the Refunding.
E. The remaining proceeds of the Bonds shall be set
aside in a separate fund, hereby created, and designated as the
"Bond Series 1990 Capital Project Fund" (the "Project Fund"),
• hereby created. Alternatively, the Comptroller may allocate such
remaining proceeds to one or more related project funds of the
City already in existence; provided, however, that this shall not
relieve the Comptroller of the duty to account for the proceeds
as herein provided. (Any such one or, more funds shall also be
referred to hereinafter, collectively, as the "Project Fund".)
The City Council reserves the right, as it becomes necessary from
time to time, to revise the list of projects hereinabove set
forth, to change priorities, to revise cost allocations between
projects and to substitute projects, in order to meet current
needs of the City; subject, however, to the tax covenants set
forth herein.
• -31-
E
There is hereby authorized to be created, when, as and
if needed, a "General Obligation Bonds Rebate Fund, Series 1990"
(the Rebate Fund). The officers of the City charged with meeting
the covenants of the City relating to the Tax-exempt status of
the Bonds shall create such fund as needed and make deposits from
the Expense Fund, the Bond Fund or such other fund as the City
Council may designate, in such amounts as may be proper to assure
payment of rebate of "excess arbitrage profits" on the Bonds to
the United States.
Section 14. Not Private Activity Bonds
None of the Bonds is a "private activity bond" as
defined in Section 141(a) of the Code. In support of such con-
clusion, the
City
certifies, represents
and
covenants
as
follows:
•
A.
None
of the proceeds of
the
Bonds are
to
be used,
directly or indirectly, and none of the proceeds of the Prior
Bonds were used, directly or indirectly, in any trade or business
carried on by any person other than a state or local governmental
unit. The Prior Bonds (and all bonds -refunded with proceeds of
the Prior Bonds) were issued for the purpose, and the Prior Bond
and refunded bond proceeds (except refunding proceeds) were prop-
erly and fully expended for the purpose, of paying the costs of
capital improvements to the essential governmental purpose
systems of the City, including water, sewer, street, lighting,
parks and recreation, police and fire prevention systems (collec-
tively, such systems being the "Infrastructure").
-32- •
•
B. No direct or indirect payments are to be made on
any Bond with respect to any private business use by any person
other than a state or local governmental unit.
C. None of the proceeds of the Bonds are to be used,
directly or indirectly, to make or finance loans to persons other
than a state or local governmental unit.
D. No user of the Infrastructure other than the City
or another governmental unit will use the same on any basis other
than the same basis as the general public; and no person other
than the City or another governmental unit will be a user of the
Infrastructure as a result of (i) ownership or (ii) actual or
beneficial use pursuant to a lease, a management or incentive
• payment contract, or (iii) any other arrangement.
Section 15. General Arbitrage Covenants
The City represents and certifies as follows with re-
spect to the Bonds:
A. The City has not been notified of any disqualifi-
cation or proposed disqualification of,it by the Commissioner of
the Internal Revenue Service as a bond issuer which may certify
bond issues under Treasury Regulations Section 1.103-13 (a)(2)-
(ii) (1979).
B. Moneys on deposit in any fund or account in con-
nection with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived
from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other
source, will not be used in a manner which will cause the Bonds
0 -33-
•
to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Code Section 148
and any lawful regulations promulgated thereunder, including
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.103-13, 1.103-14 and 1.103-15
(1979) as the same presently exist or may from time to time here-
after be amended, supplemented or revised.
Section 16. Arbitrage Rebate
The City recognizes that the provisions of Section 148
of the Code require a rebate to the United States in certain
circumstances. The proceeds of the Bonds shall be subject to
such rebate; provided, however, that proceeds of the Bonds on
deposit in the escrow account under the escrow agreement, as
hereinabove described in Section 13, shall be invested at a yield
not in excess of the yield on the Bonds, so no rebate is expected •
with respect thereto; investments of Bond proceeds in the expense
fund hereinabove created are not expected'to provide excess arbi-
trage profits due to the short duration prior to disbursement,
but these investments will be reviewed for applicability of
rebate; moneys in the Bond Fund (a bona fide debt service fund)
are not subject to rebate;.and with respect to the Project Fund
moneys, the City reserves until closing on the Bonds the right to
elect a penalty in lieu of rebate.
Section 17. Registered Form
The City recognizes that Section 149 of the Code re-
quires the Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered
form in order to be and remain Tax-exempt. In this connection,
-34- •
the City agrees that it will not take any action to permit the
Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form.
Section 18. Further Tax Covenants
The City agrees to comply with all provisions of the
present Code which, if not complied with by the City, would cause
the Bonds not to be Tax-exempt. In furtherance of the foregoing
provisions, but without limiting their generality, the City
agrees: (a) through its officers, to make such further specific
covenants, representations as shall be truthful, and assurances
as may be .necessary or advisable; (b) to comply with all repre-
sentations, covenants and assurances contained in certificates or
agreements as may be prepared by counsel approving the Bonds; (c)
• to consult with such counsel and to comply with such advice as
may be given; (d) to file such forms, statements and supporting
documents as may be required and in a timely manner; and (e) if
deemed necessary or advisable by its officers, to employ and pay
fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys and other persons to
assist the City in such compliance.
Section 19. Opinion of Counsel Exception
The City reserves the right to use or invest moneys in
connection with the Bonds in any manner, or to make changes in
the 1990 Bonds Capital Improvements list, or to use the 1990
Bonds Capital Improvements in any manner, notwithstanding the
representations and covenants in Sections 14 through 18 herein,
provided it shall first have received an opinion from an attorney
• -35-
•
or a firm of attorneys of nationally recognized standing in
matters pertaining to Tax-exempt bonds to the effect that use or
investment of such moneys or the changes in or use of the 1990
Bonds Capital Improvements as contemplated will not result in
loss or impairment of Tax-exempt status for the Bonds.
Section 20. Taxes Previously Levied
The taxes previously levied to pay principal of and
interest on the Prior Bonds, to the extent such principal and
interest is provided for from the escrow account under the escrow
agreement as hereinabove described in Section 13, shall be
abated. The filing of a certificate of abatement with the County
Clerk of the County of Cook, Illinois, as hereinabove provided
shall constitute authority and direction for said County Clerk to
make such abatement. 0

any officer of the City is authorized to execute the Bond Regis-
trar's and Paying Agent's standard forju of agreement between the
City and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the

date on the Bonds or Prior Bonds (always the earlier of such
