FALL LEAF PICKUP SERVICE
The Village will again provide curbside leaf pick up to Village residents. We encourage you to rake your leaves to the curb as early in the season as possible, as weather conditions are unpredictable. The leaf vacuum makes regular rounds of the Village to pick up leaves. There is only one truck and the driver makes a continuous run. Due to the unpredictability of when residents rake leaves, we cannot guarantee immediate pick-up. However, we will endeavor to serve you the best way possible. This service will begin approximately October 17, 2005 and will continue as long as weather permits. Wet leaves are difficult to pick up. Pick up will begin in the Village east of M-24 and proceed westward in the downtown area and then out to the Swiss Village and Bellevue areas.
BRUSH AND LIMBS CANNOT BE MIXED WITH THE LEAVES. THESE MAY BE INCLUDED WITH YARD WASTE IF LESS THAN 2″ IN DIAMETER AND LESS THAN FOUR FEET LONG, AND WILL BE PICKED UP BY WASTE AWAY ON THE REGULAR PICK UP DAY.
Residents may also bag leaves (paper bags only, no plastic) for the weekly COMPOST collection service through November 28, 2005.

FALL LEAF PICKUP SERVICE
The Village will again provide curbside leaf pick up to Village residents. We encourage you to rake your leaves to the curb as early in the season as possible, as weather conditions are unpredictable. The leaf vacuum makes regular rounds of the Village to pick up leaves. There is only one truck and the driver makes a continuous run. Due to the unpredictability of when residents rake leaves, we cannot guarantee immediate pick-up. However, we will endeavor to serve you the best way possible. This service will begin approximately October 17, 2005 and will continue as long as weather permits. Wet leaves are difficult to pick up. Pick up will begin in the Village east of M-24 and proceed westward in the downtown area and then out to the Swiss Village and Bellevue areas.
BRUSH AND LIMBS CANNOT BE MIXED WITH THE LEAVES. THESE MAY BE INCLUDED WITH YARD WASTE IF LESS THAN 2″ IN DIAMETER AND LESS THAN FOUR FEET LONG, AND WILL BE PICKED UP BY WASTE AWAY ON THE REGULAR PICK UP DAY.
Residents may also bag leaves (paper bags only, no plastic) for the weekly COMPOST collection service through November 28, 2005.

notice of public hearing
on a proposed
village of lake orion recreation master plan
2006-2011
Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held jointly by the Village of Lake Orion Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee and the Village Council on Tuesday, February 28, 2006, at 7:30 p.m. in the Village Council Room of the Lake Orion Village Hall, 37 E. Flint St., Lake Orion, MI 48362. The public hearing is being held to receive comments and consider the adoption of the Village of Lake Orion Recreation Master Plan 2006-2011.
A Recreation Master Plan assists the Village in identifying recreation needs within the community. The plan will serve as a guide for maintaining, improving and expanding facilities. While a Recreation Master Plan assists the community in determining its goals and needs, if approved by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), it also qualifies the community for recreation grants which are administered through the MDNR Grants Administration Section. The proposed Master Plan includes a community description, an overview of the administrative structure of the Village, an inventory of existing facilities, a basis for action and finally recommended goals, guidelines and capital improvements for the next five years.
The hearing is intended to provide an opportunity for interested citizens to express their opinions regarding the aspects of the proposed Recreation Master Plan.
The Village of Lake Orion Recreation Master Plan 2006-2011 is available for public inspection before the public hearing at the Village Hall located at 37 E. Flint Street, Lake Orion, MI during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Written comments concerning the proposed plan may be submitted prior to the Public Hearing to Arlene Nichols, Village Clerk at 37 E. Flint Street, Lake Orion, MI 48362-3274.
In the spirit of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals with a disability should feel free to contact the Village office, at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the meeting, if requesting accommodations.

Since the beginning, the Village of Lake Orion’s goal has been to produce the safest and highest quality drinking water for all its customers.
To maintain its commitment, the City of Detroit’s analysts routinely collect and test water samples from the source waters right to customers’ homes, checking purity and identifying potential problems.
Treatment plants are constantly maintained, evaluated and upgraded to stay abreast of advancements in technology, health science, and government regulations.
A water quality lab is the heart of the quality assurance program. Staffed by highly trained scientists and technicians, the state-certified lab has the latest most sophisticated instruments and can measure substances down to one part in a billion.
SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT
Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA is responsible for setting national limits for hundreds of substances in drinking water and also the consumer receiving clean water and verifying that states are enforcing the laws that regulate drinking water.
Federal regulation requires water utilities provide detailed water quality information to each of their customers annually.
Public input and comments regarding drinking water may be sent to the Village of Lake Orion at 37 East Flint Sheet, Lake Orion, MI 48362. Or comments may be expressed in person at the Village Hall or at Village Council meetings -on the second and fourth Monday of each month, excluding holidays.
For more information or any questions, contact JoAnne Van Tassel, Village Manager at 248-693-8391.
WHERE DOES MY WATER COME FROM?
Village customers are fortunate because they enjoy an abundant water supply from the Detroit Water System. The Village receives its water from the Detroit Water Treatment Plant north of Port Huron.
The plant draws water from Lake Huron into the plant for treatment through a 16-foot diameter tunnel which extends five miles out into Like Huron at average depth of 190 feet and is 45 feet deep at the intake.
The water is then treated and pumped through the system to Orion Township-and to the Village and other communities.
Detroit also has four other surface water treatment plants which are interconnected and provide water to the Village though these plants, should the need arise.
SUBSTANCES EXPECTED TO BE IN DRINKING WATER
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn’t necessarily indicate that water is a health risk.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised people such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring materials and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife; inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming; pesticides and herbicides which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater, runoff and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants. including svnthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems; radioactive contaminants which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and-gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulates established limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health water.
These people should seek advice from their healthcare providers about drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline. (800-426-4791).
HOW NOW IF THERE’S A PROBLEM WITH MY WATER?
If the amount of contaminants exceeds a predetermined safe level in your drinking water (MCL, Action Level, etc.), people will be notified via newspapers, radio, TV and other means within 24 hours.
With the notification, citizens will be instructed on what appropriate actions they should take to protect themselves and their family’s health.
WHAT’S IN MY WATER?
The water delivered to Village homes and businesses this past year complied with, or did better than all state and federal drinking water requirements.
Village officials have compiled a list in the table showing what substances were detected in the drinking water during 2001 .All the substances listed are under the Maxi mum Contaminant Level set by US EPA and not expected to cause any health risks.

Since the beginning, the Village of Lake Orion’s goal has been to produce the safest and highest quality drinking water for all its customers.
To maintain its commitment, the City of Detroit’s analysts routinely collect and test water samples from the source waters right to customers’ homes, checking purity and identifying potential problems.
Treatment plants are constantly maintained, evaluated and upgraded to stay abreast of advancements in technology, health science, and government regulations.
A water quality lab is the heart of the quality assurance program. Staffed by highly trained scientists and technicians, the state-certified lab has the latest most sophisticated instruments and can measure substances down to one part in a billion.
SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT
Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA is responsible for setting national limits for hundreds of substances in drinking water and also the consumer receiving clean water and verifying that states are enforcing the laws that regulate drinking water.
Federal regulation requires water utilities provide detailed water quality information to each of their customers annually.
Public input and comments regarding drinking water may be sent to the Village of Lake Orion at 37 East Flint Street, Lake Orion, MI 48362. Or comments may be expressed in person at the Village Hall or at Village Council meetings -on the second and fourth Monday of each month, excluding holidays.
For more information or any questions, contact JoAnneVan Tassel, Village Manager at 248-693-8391.
WHERE DOES MY WATER COME FROM?
Village customers are fortunate because they enjoy an abundant water supply from the Detroit Water System. The Village receives its water from the Detroit Water Treatment Plant north of Port Huron.
The plant draws water from Lake Huron into the plant for treatment through a 16-foot diameter tunnel which extends five miles out into Like Huron at average depth of 190 feet and is 45 feet deep at the intake.
The water is then treated and pumped through the system to Orion Township and to the Village and other communities.
Detroit also has four other surface water treatment plants which are interconnected and provide water to the Village though these plants, should the need arise.
SUBSTANCES EXPECTED TO BE IN DRINKING WATER
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn’t necessarily indicate that water is a health risk.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised people such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring materials and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife; inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming; pesticides and herbicides which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater, runoff and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems; radioactive contaminants which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and-gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulates established limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health water.
These people should seek advice from their healthcare providers about drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline. (800-426-4791).
HOW WILL KNOW IF THERE’S A PROBLEM WITH MY WATER?
If the amount of contaminants exceeds a predetermined safe level in your drinking water (MCL, Action Level, etc.), people will be notified via newspapers, radio, TV and other means within 24 hours.
With the notification, citizens will be instructed on what appropriate actions they should take to protect themselves and their family’s health.
WHAT’S IN MY WATER?
The water delivered to Village homes and businesses this past year complied with, or did better than all state and federal drinking water requirements.
Village officials have compiled a list in the table showing what substances were detected in the drinking water during 2001. All the substances listed are under the Maximum Contaminant Level set by US EPA and not expected to cause any health risks.
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DrinKING WATER
Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, Lake Huron Water treatment Plant Did Not Meet Treatment Requirements. DWSD water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this situation does not require that you take immediate action, as our customers, you have the right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this problem. We treat our water to control corrosion and prevent lead and copper in the pipes from dissolving into the water. The corrosion control treatment is done primarily by the addition of phosphate to the water. To ensure we are optimizing corrosion control, we routinely monitor the water before it enters the distribution system for water quality parameters such as pH and phosphate dosage and residual. We are required to maintain these parameters above state-designated minimums. For 14 days during January and February 2007 we did not maintain a phosphate dosage greater than the established minimum. The standard requires that no more than 9 days in a six-month period may be below the established minimum. For the 14-day period, we did not add enough phosphate for optimal corrosion control. Phosphate was being added to the water, but at a dosage below the state designated minimum.
What should I do?
You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
What does this mean?
This situation does not require that you take immediate action. If it had been an emergency, you would have been notified immediately. This is a treatment technique violation, and does not necessarily mean there is lead or copper in your drinking water. It is important that we take measures to control and minimize lead and copper levels in the water, because ingesting lead or copper can cause serious health consequences.
Lead: Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the Action Level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.
Copper: Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the Action Level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the Action Level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s disease should consult their personal doctor.
What happened? What is being done?
The phosphate dosage was below the established minimum for too long of a period during the months of January and February 2007. During this time the Lake Huron Water Treatment Plant experienced phosphate pump malfunctions that resulted in the below optimal dosages. Despite this lower than acceptable dosage, phosphate residual concentrations in water leaving the plant and entering the distribution system were maintained above the established minimum. The chemical feed pumps have all been repaired and both dosages and residuals are currently at the optimal level. For more information, please contact JoAnn Van Tassel (248) 693-8391 ext. 101.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, expecially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in aparments, nursing homes, schools and businesses).

Sewer Charge Reduction
Residential properties using water for watering lawns and/or filling a swimming pool are entitled to a reduction from sewer charges for the quarter ending September 30. To apply for the reduction please visit the Village office, during regular business hours (M-F 9:00 a.m. ? 4:30 p.m.) to file the necessary affidavit. An affidavit form will also be included with the July Village tax bills. The affidavit must be filed with the Village Treasurer by August 1st of each year to qualify for the reduced sewer charge.

Publish: March 2, 2011
Since the beginning, the Village of Lake Orion’s goal has been to produce the safest and highest quality drinking water for all its customers.
To maintain its commitment, the City of Detroit’s analysts routinely collect and test water samples from the source waters right to customers’ homes, checking purity and identifying potential problems.
Treatment plants are constantly maintained, evaluated and upgraded to stay abreast of advancements in technology, health science, and government regulations.
A water quality lab is the heart of the quality assurance program. Staffed by highly trained scientists and technicians, the state-certified lab has the latest most sophisticated instruments and can measure substances down to one part in a billion.
SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT
Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA is responsible for setting national limits for hundreds of substances in drinking water and also the consumer receiving clean water and verifying that states are enforcing the laws that regulate drinking water.
Federal regulation requires water utilities provide detailed water quality information to each of their customers annually.
Public input and comments regarding drinking water may be sent to the Village of Lake Orion at 37 East Flint Street Lake Orion, MI, 48362. Or comments may be expressed in person at the Village Hall or at Village Council meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month, excluding holidays.
For more information or any questions, contact John Ranville. LO Superintendent of Public Works at 248-693-1463.
WHERE DOES MY WATER COME FROM?
Village customers are fortunate because they enjoy an abundant watersupply from the Detroit Water System. The Village receives its water from the Detroit Water Treatment Plant north of Port Huron.
The plant draws water from Lake Huron into the plant for treatment through a 16-foot diameter tunnel which extends five miles out into Like Huron at average depth of 190 feet and is 45 feet deep at the intake.
The water is then treated and pumped through the system to Orion Township and to the Village and other communities.
Detroit also has four other surface water treatment plants which are interconnected and provide water to the Village though these plants, should the need arise.
SUBSTANCES EXPECTED TO BE IN DRINKING WATER
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn’t necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.
The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, takes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring materials and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming; pesticides and herbicides which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater, runoff and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulates established limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health water.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised people such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/ AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice from their healthcare providers about drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporodium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline. (800-426-4791).
HOW WILL I KNOW IF THERE’S A PROBLEM WITH MY WATER?
If the amount of contaminants exceeds a predetermined safe level in your drinking water (MCL, Action Level, etc.), people will be notified via newspapers, radio, TV and other means within 24 hours.
With the notification, citizens will be instructed on what appropriate actions they should take to protect themselves and their family’s health.
WHAT’S IN MY WATER?
The water delivered to Village homes and businesses this past year complied with, or did better than all state and federal drinking water requirements.
Village officials have compiled a list in the table showing what substances were detected in the drinking water during 2001. All the substances listed are under the Maximum Contaminant Level set by US EPA and not expected to cause any health risks.
TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS:
* Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as possible using the best available treatment technology.
? Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected health risk.
? Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
? N/A: Not applicable
? ND: Not detected
? ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter
? ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter.

WHEREAS, the revenues received by the Village from the Michigan Transportation Fund pursuant to Act 51 in the year preceding this contemplated borrowing are more than sufficient to comply with all the requirements specified in Section 4 of Act 175;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1 . The plans and estimates of cost of the Improvements are hereby approved and adopted.
2. The period of usefulness of the Improvements is estimated to be not less than fifteen (15) years.

4. The bonds shall be designated 2003 MICHIGAN TRANSPORTATION FUND BONDS (Limited Tax General Obligation) (the “Bonds”) and shall consist of bonds fully registered as to principal and interest of the denominations of any multiple of $5,000 not exceeding for each maturity the maximum principal amount of the Bonds of that Maturity and numbered in order of registration.

The Bonds shall be sold at not less than 99%, of their par value.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the times and prices and in the manner set forth in Section 9 of this resolution.
Unless waived by any registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of redemption shall be given by the paying agent on behalf of the Village. Such notice shall be dated and shall contain at a minimum the following information: original issue date; maturity dates; interest rates; CUSIP numbers, if any; certificate numbers, and in the case of partial redemption, the called amounts of each certificate; the redemption date; the redemption price or premium; the place where Bonds called for redemption are to be surrendered for payment; and that interest on Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date. In addition, further notice shall be given by the paying agent in such manner as may be required or suggested by regulations or market practice at the applicable time but no defect in such further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as prescribed herein.
5. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the Village with the manual or facsimile signatures of the President and the Village Clerk and shall bear the Village seal or a facsimile of the Village seal. No Bond shall be valid until authenticated by an authorized signature of the paying agent.
The Bonds shall be delivered to the paying agent for authentication and be delivered by the paying agent to the purchaser in accordance with instructions from the Treasurer of the Village upon payment of the purchase price for the Bonds in accordance with the bid therefor when accepted. Executed blank bonds for registration and issuance to transferees shall simultaneously, and from time to time thereafter as necessary, be delivered to the paying agent for safekeeping. The principal of the Bonds shall be payable at the corporate trust office of Standard Federal-Corporate and Institutional Trust, a division of LaSalle Bank National Association, Troy, Michigan (the “paying agent’) at the time the bonds are sold. In the event the Bonds are not held in book-entry only form, then the paying agent shall also act as bond registrar and transfer agent. The paying agent may be changed by the Village upon notice to bondholders not less than sixty (60) days prior to an interest payment date. The Village Treasurer is authorized to enter into an agreement with the paying agent with respect to the registration, paying and payment of the Bonds.
The Bonds may be issued in book-entry only form as one fully registered bond per maturity and, if so issued, shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as bondholder and nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York. If the Bonds are issued in book-entry only form, DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds, and purchasers will not receive certificates representing their interest in bonds purchased.

The Village Manager, the Village Clerk and the Village Treasurer each is hereby authorized and directed to enter into the Letter of Representations with DTC in such form as determined by the Village Manager, the Village Clerk or the Village Treasurer, as the case may be, in consultation with bond counsel, to be necessary and appropriate, The paying agent is hereby authorized and directed to also enter into the Letter of Representations with DTC as agent for the Issuer.

In the event the Issuer determines that the continuation of the system of book-entry-only transfer through DTC (or successor securities depository) is not in the best interest of the Issuer, the Issuer will notify the paying agent, whereupon the paying agent will notify DTC of the availability through DTC of the bond certificates. In such event, the Issuer shall issue and the paying agent as transfer agent shall transfer and exchange bonds as requested by DTC of like principal amount, series and maturity, in authorized denominations to the identifiable beneficial owners in replacement of the beneficial interest of such beneficial owners in the Bonds.
6. Any Bond may be transferred upon the books required to be kept by the paying agent pursuant to this section by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by the registered owner’s duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of the Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of paying in a form approved by the paying agent. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered for paying, the Village shall execute and the paying agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond or Bonds, in like aggregate principal amount. The paying agent shall require the payment by the bondholder requesting the paying of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the paying.

The Treasurer is further directed to open or create a separate depository account, to be designated 2003 MICHIGAN TRANSPORTATION FUND BONDS CONSTRUCTION FUND into which the proceeds of the Bonds, less accrued interest and premium, if any, shall be deposited, which account shall be used to pay the costs of constructing the Improvements. Proceeds remaining after completion of the Improvements shall be applied as permitted by law.
8. Pursuant to Act 175, and as additional security for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, there is hereby irrevocably pledged the limited tax full faith and credit of the Village, and in the event of insufficiency of funds primarily pledged to the payment thereof, the Village covenants and agrees to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds from its general funds, including the levy of ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the Village to the extent necessary to make such payment, subject, however, to constitutional, statutory and charter tax rate limitations.
