Specifying, Adopting and Ordering the Carrying Out of System or Plan. The City specifies, adopts and orders the carrying out of a system or plan of additions and betterments to and extensions of the Waterworks Utility of the City described in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. There shall be included in the foregoing system or plan the acquisition and installation of all necessary valves, pumps, fittings, couplings, connections, equipment and appurtenances, the acquisition of any easements, rights-of-way and land that may be 0144423 01 -2- required and the performance of such work as may be incidental and necessary. All of the foregoing shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor prepared by the City Engineer and consulting engineers of the City. The City Council may modify the details of the foregoing system or plan where, in its judgment, it appears advisable if such modifications do not substantially alter the purposes of that system or plan. The life of the improvements comprising the foregoing system or plan of additions to and betterments and extensions of the Waterworks Utility of the City is declared to be at least 20 years. The estimated cost of the acquisition, construction, installation and financing of the above-described improvements is declared to be approximately $8,520,000. Such cost shall be paid from the proceeds of the bonds authorized in this ordinance and from other money of the City made available therefor. Section 2. Findings and Determinations.

Authorization of Bonds. For the purpose of paying part of the cost of carrying out the system or plan adopted by Section 1 of this ordinance, the City shall issue its water and sewer revenue bonds in the approximate amount of $8,520,000. Such bonds may be issued at various times and on a parity of lien on the gross revenues of the Waterworks Utility with the City's outstanding water and sewer revenue bonds or may be issued in a subordinate lien position. The exact amount, date, price, number, denomination, form, covenants, interest rate or rates on and other terms of such bonds shall be provided hereafter by ordinance. Section 4. Purpose, Authorization and Description of Note; Use of Depositories. (1) Purpose and Authorization.
