Section 4. Declaring Intent To Reimburse. The City reasonably anticipates that the City and EWEB may incur preliminary, cost of issuance and other project expenditures with respect to the 2005 New Project and/or the 2005 Improvement Program that qualify as "Original Expenditures" under Treasury Regulation §1.150-2 prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds, and hereby declares its official intent to reimburse itself or EWEB with proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. Section 5. Statement on Form of Bond. All Bonds shall include a statement on their face to the effect: (a) That they do not in any manner constitute a general obligation of EWEB or of the City, or create a charge upon the tax revenues of the City, or upon any other revenues or property of the City, or property of EWEB, but are charges upon and are payable solely from the revenues of the Electric Utility System operated by EWEB, or any portion thereof, pledged to the payment thereof; and (b) That the holders thereof may look for repayment only to the revenues of the Electric Utility System which are pledged for the payment thereof, and may not directly or indirectly be paid or compensated through the property of the City, or EWEB, or by or through the taxing power of the City. Section 6. Bonds Payable Solely from Revenues. The Bonds shall not be general obligations of the City, nor a charge upon its tax revenues, but shall be payable solely from the revenues and funds which EWEB pledges to the payment thereof pursuant to the 2001 URBA Authorization, the provisions of City Council Resolution 4677, ORS §288.825 and in accordance with this Resolution.
