CM 13 - Section 7. That the City has heretofore fixed rates to be charged for the services of the System and reference is hereby made to the schedule of rates and other provisions per- taining thereto on file in the office of the City Clerk, which rates and provisions are hereby confirmed and continued. The City covenants and agrees that the rates established will produce gross revenues at least sufficient to pay operation and maintenance expenses of the System, pay the interest on all outstanding Bonds, as the same become due and the Trustee's and Paying Agent's fees, create and maintain debt service reserves, and to make the required deposits for depreciation as specified by this Ordinance. The City covenants always to maintain rates (including increases as necessary) which will provide for the maintenance of the funds hereinafter described. The rates shall never be reduced while any of the Bonds are outstanding unless there is obtained from a certified public accountant not in the regular employ of the City a certificate reciting the opinion that the proposed new rates will produce sufficient net revenues (.net revenues being gross revenues to be derived during the next twelve (12) months less the reasonably anticipated cost of operation and maintenance for the next twelve (12) months and less the re- quired deposits for depreciation of the System for the next twelve (12) months) equal to not less than 1500 of the average annual interest and Trustee's and Paying Agent's fees on all Bonds then outstanding to which System revenues are pledged. It is understood that included in the Improvements are steam generating facilities, which will enable the City to sell steam aenerated in connection with the burning of refuse. All revenues derived from sales of steam pursuant to the Steam Sale Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed and treated as revenues of the System and all expenses in connection therewith will be deemed expenses of the System.
