improvements are hereby characterized for purposes of the property tax limitation in Section 11 b, Art.

Notice of the intent to so characterize the assessments was sent to the affected property owners prior to the adoption of this resolution. Section 4. The City Council hereby declares that the construction of the Improvements, as well as acquisition of rights-of-way or easements necessary for the construction, is for a public purpose, is necessary for the public welfare, and is authorized under the laws of the State of Oregon and Charter and ordinances of the City of Eugene, and is directed by this Resolution. Section 5. Improvement warrants, short-term promissory notes and other evidence of indebtedness authorized by Chapter 902, 1991 Oregon Session Laws, issued to finance the construction of the Improvements shall be indebtedness for them. When improvement warrants are issued they may be general obligation warrants or limited general obligation warrants or other similar instrument. Such indebtedness shall bear interest at a rate set by Council resolution authorizing the debt. The interest shall be paid upon redemption. Section 6. Proceeds from unbonded assessments, improvement bonds, foreclosure of liens based on the Improvements and from other budgeted funds including ad valorem taxes, if levied, to pay the debt shall be deposited in the Short Term Debt Fund until the indebtedness issued to finance the Improvements is redeemed. Proceeds so deposited may be used only to pay the indebtedness issued to finance the Improvements. Section 7.
