<br />WHEREAS, Article 717k, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, as amended (the "Act"), authorizes the Issuer to issue
<br />refunding bonds and to deposit the proceeds from the sale thereof together with any other available funds or re-
<br />sources, directly with a place of payment (paying agent) for any of the Refunded Obligations, and such deposit, if
<br />made before such payment dates, shall constitute the making of firm banking and financial arrangements for the
<br />discharge and final payment of the Refunded Obligations;
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council of the Issuer (the 'Council) deems it advisable to refund the Refunded
<br />Obligations in order to lower the annual debt service requirements of the Issuer and to restructure the Issuer's debt
<br />service in a manner which will permit the issuance of additional general obligation bonds without a tax rate increase
<br />or with a smaller increase than would otherwise be required;
<br />WHEREAS, all the Refunded Obligations mature or are subject to redemption prior to maturity within 20 years
<br />of the date of the bonds hereinafter authorized;
<br />WHEREAS, it is now deemed necessary and advisable that said bonds be issued at this time, in the amounts,
<br />and for the purpose as herein shown; and
