A separate fund is hereby created and shall be maintained for each of the improvements financed by this issue, to be known and disignated as the "Improvement No Fund", the number of each improvement as given above to be inserted in the name of each respective fund. The proceeds of sale of the improvement bonds herein authorized shall be credited to each of said funds in the amount of the estimated cost of the improvement to which such fund pertains. To said improvement funds there shall also be credited the proceeds of sale of additional improvement bonds which may hereafter be authorized for the purpose of paying the expenses of making said improvements, and such available moneys of the Village which may hereafter be appropriated thereto by the Council, all as may be directed by further resolutions of the Council. 3. It is hereby determined that not less than EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY- FIVE THOUSAND AND NO -100 DOLLARS ($825,000.00) of the costs of said improvements shall be paid by the levy of special assessments upon all assessable lots and tracts of land lying within the assessable areas heretofore specified in the respective resolutions ordering said im- provements, based upon the special benefits received by each such lot and tract. The Village hereby covenants and agrees that it will do and perform, as soon as may be, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of said special assessments. In the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot or tract of land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any action or proceeding taken or to be taken by the Village or by this Council or by any of the Village's officers or employees, either in the making of such assessment or in the performance of any condition pre- cedent thereto, the Village hereby covenants and agrees that it will forthwith do all such further acts and take all such further proceed- ings as shall be required by law to make such assessment a valid and binding lien upon said property. The assessments to be levied in respect of lateral sewers shall be payable in 20 equal, consecutive, annual installments; the assessments to be levied in respect of 59 - CG -3, Resolution No. 78 (Continued) October 6, 1959 59 -CG -4, 59 -BS -3, 59 -BS -4, and the Winnetka Avenue improvement shall be payable in 10 equal, consecutive, annual installments; the assessments to be levied in respect of 59 -SC -1 shall be payable in a single in- stallment; and the assessments to be levied in respect of the remainder of said improvements shall be payable in 5 equal, consecutive, annual installments; the first installment of all said assessments shall be certified to the County Auditor for collection with general taxes for the year 1960, and the remaining installments of said assessments shall be certified for collection with the general taxes for each subsequent consecutive year until the assessment is paid. To the first installment shall be added interest at the rate of 6% per annum on the entire assess- ment from the date of the resolution levying the assessment until December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable. To each sub- sequent installment shall be added interest at 6% per annum for one year on all unpaid installments. 4. For the purpose of paying the remainder of the cost of said im- provements which will of be paid from special assessments, there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the Village a direct, annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls in the amount of $1200 for each of the years 1960 through 1979, said levies to be collected with and as a part of other general property taxes in the respective ensuing years. Said taxes shall be irrepealable as long as any of said bonds are outstanding and: unpaid, and the collections there- of are hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated to said Improvement Bond Redemption Fund; provided, that the Village reserves the right and power to reduce said levies in accordance with the provisions of Minn- esota Statutes, Section 475.61. 5. The full faith and credit of the Village shall be and is hereby pledged to the prompt and full payment of said bonds and the interest thereon. Each and all of the provisions of said Ordinance No. 28 of the Village and of this resolution shall constitute convenants for the security of the holders from time to time of said bonds. It is estimated that the collections of said special assessments agreed to be levied in paragraph 3 above and the ad valorem taxes levied in paragraph 4 above will produce sums not less than 5% in excess of the amounts needed to pay said principal and interest when due, in accordance with the pro- visions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61. 6. For the purpose of paying costs of said improvements and in an- ticipation of the collection of said special assessments, the Village shall forthwith issue its negotiable coupon general obligation Improvement Bonds of 1959, in the principal amount of -$825,000.
