If purchased from a debt service fund securing other bonds, the holders of those bonds may enforce the City's obligations on the temporary improvement bonds in the same manner as if they held the temporary improvement bonds. Subdivision 7 General Obli~ation Temporary Improvement Bonds. The Council may by resolution adopted prior to the S~le o-~ any temporary improvement bonds pledge the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the City for the payment of the principal and interest, in addition to all provisions made for their security in subdivision 5.

Proceeds of improvement bonds or temporary improvement bonds not yet sold may be treated as pledged revenues, in reduction of the tax otherwise required by Minnesota Statute Section 475.61 to be levied prior to delivery of the obligations. 210.01.14 Service CharKes~ A Special Assessment ABainst Benefited Property.
