in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts. (a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less any amount paid for the Bonds in excess of the minimum bid and plus any special assessments levied with respect to the Improvements and collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of making the Improvements, including the cost of any construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65; and the moneys in the Construction Account shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the collection of taxes or special assessments herein levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if any special assessments credited to the Construction Account shall only be applied towards payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council determining that the application of the special assessments for such purpose will not cause the City to no longer be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. (b) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged and shall be credited to the Debt Service Account: (i) all collections of special assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially credited to the Construction Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or collected subsequent to the completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (ii) available funds of the City in the amount of $ which is sufficient to pay interest due on the Bonds on or before June 15, 2018; (iii) all funds paid for the Bonds in excess of the minimum bid; (iv) all collections of taxes herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds; (v) all funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (vi) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (vii) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from the Debt Service Account as provided by law. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except(1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and(2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service Account(or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations.
