SECTION 1. ADDITION OF NEW SECTION 33

A new Section 33 entitled “Violations Enforcement Policy” shall be added to Ordinance #01/2020 which shall read, in its entirety, as follows:

SECTION 33: VIOLATIONS ENFORCEMENT POLICY

a) Purpose.

The purpose of this policy is to provide County Park Staff a process for addressing violations of the Newaygo County Parks Ordinance Rules and Regulations. This Violations Enforcement Policy will set forth the process and procedure for violations of all Park policies. Nothing in this policy will prevent Law Enforcement from lawfully enforcing the County Parks Ordinance.

b) Parks and Recreation Director/Designee’s Right to Suspend Privileges.

Pursuant to this Policy, upon determining that a Park policy has been violated, the Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s designee may restrict access to Park Property with immediate dismissal of the patron from the Park Property, by suspending the patron’s access to Park Property, or by denying access to specific services and/or programs. When appropriate, law enforcement may be called to intervene or assist Park Staff.

I. Incident Reports. Park staff shall record in writing in the form of an Incident Report any violation of this Policy that may result in a suspension of Park privileges. 

II. Violation of the Policy – Suspension of Privileges. Unless otherwise provided in this Ordinance, the Park shall handle violations as follows:

1. Initial Violation: Park patrons or groups observed violating this Policy will be asked to cease the violation with a verbal request and educated about the Policy. 

2. Subsequent Violations: If the park patron or group is observed violating Policy after the initial violation, the Park Manager, Operations Supervisor or Director will make contact to address the additional violation. At that time Park Staff may ask the patron or group to leave immediately or may elect to give a final warning. A final warning shall be made verbally or in writing and shall include an explanation of next steps including removal, and possible trespass proceeding. 

If the patron/group refuses to leave, law enforcement may be contacted.

The Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s authorized designee may further institute proceedings to trespass that patron from all parks and properties owned or operated by the Parks Commission. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter to the individual outlining why they are being considered for trespass and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider the trespass.

The current Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance (the “Zoning Ordinance”), and the past zoning ordinances for Ensley Township, have expressly allowed short-term rentals (“STR’s,” as defined below) only in the commercial zoning districts. Article 2 – Findings. The Township Board hereby finds that there are potentially many problems and negative consequences associated with STR’s that are not located within the commercial zoning districts. Such negative and adverse impacts can include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Article 3 – The following definitions of a “Short-Term Rental” and “STR Lot” are hereby added to Section 2.19 (Definitions - S) of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended: Short-Term Rental (“STR”): A dwelling unit, cabin, cottage or house that is available for rental, leasing, or use for habitation, accommodation or lodging of guests paying a fee, charge or other compensation or consideration, for a period of less than 30 consecutive days and nights at a time. STR Lot: Any lot or parcel with an STR dwelling or use present or occurring thereon. Article 4 – The following new and additional Section 3.__ is hereby added to the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended: Section 3. Short- Term Rentals. A. There shall be no more than 15 STR Lots in total within Ensley Township (except for those in the C-Commercial zoning district). The permissible STR Lots shall be allowed, allocated and located as follows: (1) Five (5) STR Lots with frontage on Baptist Lake or located within 1,200 feet of Baptist Lake. (5 STR Lots allowed in total) (2) Three (3) STR Lots with frontage on Englewright Lake or located within 1,200 feet of Englewright Lake. (3 STR Lots allowed in total) (3) All other areas of the Township. (7 STR Lots allowed in total) (1) Areas zoned as C-Commercial - For properties located in areas zoned as C Commercial, there is no limit on STR Lots and shall not be counted for purposes of the 15 STR Lots maximum. (2) There shall be no other STR Lots within Ensley Township except for the areas and numbers as expressly allowed above. B. For purposes of which STR Lots come within the allocated or allowed totals specified in Subsection A hereof above, priority shall be given to those STR Lots (and the STR activities and usage on such lots) which have been lawfully operating within the Township for the longest consecutive and continued period of time. Any STR Lot with an existing STR use, activity or structure which has had any of the following characteristics shall not be deemed lawfully in existence for purposes of the allowed or allocated total number of STR Lots: (1) The STR dwelling or living unit has been a shed or a trailer, boat, tent, yurt, mobile home or other non-stick built dwelling. (2) The STR dwelling has been rented to or used by more than one family at a time. (3) The dwelling or lot has been used as or for a commercial wedding venue, reunion, party or other gathering or activity which is commercial in nature or for profit. (4) The dwelling has not met applicable building codes, fire safety codes or the maintenance code. * * * After the effective date of the amendment that added this section to this Ordinance, if any STR Lot has not actually been rented or leased as an STR for three (3) consecutive years or longer, it shall lose its priority for purposes of Subsections A and B, above. C. None of the following shall be used as an STR Lot nor be rented or leased for use, habitation or lodging as an STR (or otherwise) unless it is part of an approved lawful campground (and such campground use was or is expressly approved pursuant to a Township zoning approval): (1) Any tent, bunkhouse, yurt, shed, barracks or similar item. (2) Any boat, pontoon, houseboat, barge or other water vessel or watercraft. (3) Any “tiny house” or any dwelling that does not meet the minimum dwelling size requirements of this Ordinance. (4) Any house, dwelling, cottage or cabin that was unlawfully built, expanded or modified. (5) Any camping trailer, recreation vehicle, popup trailer, bus, motorhome or similar item or vehicle. (6) Any lot or parcel with two (2) or more dwellings thereon. (7) Any lot or parcel accessed by or on a joint driveway, access easement or private road. (8) Any dwelling or structure that does not comply with all applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements, building codes, fire safety codes and the maintenance code. D. Every STR and STR Lot shall fully comply with every other Ensley Township ordinance that licenses or regulates STR’s and STR Lots. E. No STR Lot or dwelling shall be occupied or used by more than one (1) family at a time. Article 5 – The following new subsection is hereby added to Section 5.01 of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended, for the A-R Rural Residential zoning district: I. Short-Term Rentals (with limits as set forth elsewhere in this Ordinance).

If any section, clause, or provision of this Ordinance/ordinance amendment is declared to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that declaration shall not affect the remainder of the Ordinance/ordinance amendment. The Township Board hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance/ordinance amendment and each part, section, subsection, phrase, sentence and clause irrespective of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections, phrases, sentences or clauses be declared invalid. Article 11 – The Balance of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance (as amended) Remains Unchanged and in Effect. Except as expressly amended by this Ordinance/ordinance amendment, the balance of the Ensley Township Zoning Ordinance, as amended, remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

A true copy of the Ordinance is available at the County Clerk’s Office, 1087 Newell St, White Cloud, MI 49349, entrances to County Parks and on the County’s website www.countyofnewaygo.com

SECTION 1. ADDITION OF NEW SECTION 33

A new Section 33 entitled “Violations Enforcement Policy” shall be added to Ordinance #01/2020 which shall read, in its entirety, as follows:

SECTION 33: VIOLATIONS ENFORCEMENT POLICY

a) Purpose.

The purpose of this policy is to provide County Park Staff a process for addressing violations of the Newaygo County Parks Ordinance Rules and Regulations. This Violations Enforcement Policy will set forth the process and procedure for violations of all Park policies. Nothing in this policy will prevent Law Enforcement from lawfully enforcing the County Parks Ordinance.

b) Parks and Recreation Director/Designee’s Right to Suspend Privileges.

Pursuant to this Policy, upon determining that a Park policy has been violated, the Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s designee may restrict access to Park Property with immediate dismissal of the patron from the Park Property, by suspending the patron’s access to Park Property, or by denying access to specific services and/or programs. When appropriate, law enforcement may be called to intervene or assist Park Staff.

I. Incident Reports. Park staff shall record in writing in the form of an Incident Report any violation of this Policy that may result in a suspension of Park privileges. 

II. Violation of the Policy – Suspension of Privileges. Unless otherwise provided in this Ordinance, the Park shall handle violations as follows:

1. Initial Violation: Park patrons or groups observed violating this Policy will be asked to cease the violation with a verbal request and educated about the Policy. 

2. Subsequent Violations: If the park patron or group is observed violating Policy after the initial violation, the Park Manager, Operations Supervisor or Director will make contact to address the additional violation. At that time Park Staff may ask the patron or group to leave immediately or may elect to give a final warning. A final warning shall be made verbally or in writing and shall include an explanation of next steps including removal, and possible trespass proceeding. 

If the patron/group refuses to leave, law enforcement may be contacted.

The Parks and Recreation Director or the Director’s authorized designee may further institute proceedings to trespass that patron from all parks and properties owned or operated by the Parks Commission. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter to the individual outlining why they are being considered for trespass and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider the trespass. The hearing shall be held promptly following mailing of the trespass warning letter, but not less than seven (7) days. 

If the violator cannot attend the hearing, they may request the hearing be done over the phone or other audio or video conferencing platform, or submit a written statement to be reviewed during the hearing 

The hearing will be held by the Park Board Vice-Chairman and two other Park Commissioners. The committee will review the incident reports, interview staff or witnesses and listen to and/or read the violator’s statement at the scheduled hearing. 

III. Violations that Affect Safety and Security. Violations involving verbal abuse, violence, threatening behaviors, sexual harassment, vandalism, drug sale or use or attempted drug sale or use, intoxication, theft or attempted theft, physical harassment, sexual misconduct, or any behavior that threatens the safety and security of staff and/or patrons shall be handled as follows:

1. Violation: Law enforcement will be called immediately if the conduct constitutes a violation of local, state, or federal law; arrest or criminal prosecution may ensue. Violations of this nature will result in an immediate suspension of Park privileges and trespass from Park Property. The Parks and Recreation Director shall send an official trespass warning letter within ten business (10) days to the individual outlining why they are being trespassed and the date, time and location of a hearing to consider extending the trespass. The hearing shall be held not less than seven (7) days, but not more than thirty (30) days following mailing of the trespass warning letter. The hearing shall be held in the same manner as set forth in section b(II)(2) above.

IV. Reinstatement. The patron whose privileges have been limited or suspended (and the patron’s parent or guardian if the patron is a minor) may elect to appeal the initial decision pursuant to the Appeal Procedure outlined in the Park Commission Bylaws and listed below. 

c) Right of Appeal.

Following proceedings under Section b(II)(2) or after a decision to extend or modify under Section b(III)(1), Patrons may appeal (1) a decision to limit or suspend privileges or (2) the conditions placed on reinstatement, by sending a written appeal to the Parks and Recreation Director within ten (10) business days of the date of the suspension or trespass. The Director will notify the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission of the appeal request. The decision of the Parks and Recreation Commission is final.

d) Appeal Procedure.

All appeals shall follow the Appeal Process as outlined in the current Park Commission Bylaws. Below is a copy of that Policy:

I. Appeal is requested by violator in writing to the Parks and Recreation Director. 

II. The Board Chair will set an appeal hearing date, time, and location and mail the violator a letter describing the location, date and time. The hearing may not be sooner than 7 days after the letter is sent to the violator. 

1. If the violator cannot attend the hearing, they may request the hearing be done over the phone or other audio or video conferencing platform, or submit a written appeal to be reviewed during the hearing 

2. If the violator fails to appear at the hearing or file an appeal within the ten (10) day appeal period, the original decision is final and may not be re-appealed.

III. The Appeals Committee hearing the appeal will review the incident reports, interview staff or witnesses and listen to and/or read the violator’s appeal at the scheduled appeal hearing. The Appeals Committee shall consist of a group of three Park Commissioners including the Chair of the Park Board and two others. None of the three members of the Appeals Committee shall be the same as those who served at the trespass hearing set forth in section b above. 

IV. The Appeals Committee will make a recommendation to do the following to the Parks Board: overturn the original decision, modify the penalty, or affirm the original decision. 

V. The Appeals Committee will designate one member to serve as a representative. The Appeals Committee representative will present the recommendation to the Parks Board at the next scheduled meeting. The Parks Board will not hold another hearing on the appeal.

VI. The Parks Board will then vote to approve, deny or modify the Appeals Committee’s recommendation at the next available Parks Board meeting following the appeal hearing. The Parks Board may ask the appellant/violator questions regarding the appeal, but the appellant/violator is not entitled to make further presentation on the appeal other than during the general public comment portion of the Parks Board meeting.

VII. All decisions voted on by the Parks Board are final and may not be re-appealed. 

SECTION 2. VALIDITY AND SEVERABILITY

If any portion of this Ordinance is found invalid for any reason, such holding will not affect the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

Section 9.18 – Adult Entertainment Facilities

A. Purpose and Intent. Adult entertainment facilities are recognized as having a deleterious effect on adjacent areas, causing blight, a chilling effect on other businesses and occupants, and disrupting neighborhood development. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of property values of the surrounding neighborhood.

It is the intent and purpose of the Township to adopt reasonable regulations for adult entertainment facilities to minimize the adverse effects caused by this activity on the public health, safety, and welfare of persons and property within the Township. Further, the purpose of the locational requirements is to prevent crime, protect and preserve the quality of life in the Township, maintain property values, preserve areas frequented by children from increased criminal activity, blight, or other neighborhood deterioration, and prevent the blighting, downgrading, and deterioration of land within the Township.

B. Regulations. Adult Entertainment Facilities are subject to the following regulations:

1. Adult entertainment businesses are permitted as a special land use in the C – Commercial District only, provided all other standards of this Ordinance are met.

3. No betting or gambling shall be allowed on the premises.

5. No adult entertainment facility shall be conducted in any manner that permits the observation of any material depicting, describing, or related to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas from any public way or any property not regulated as an adult entertainment facility. This provision shall apply to any display, decoration, sign, show window, or other opening.

6. The proposed adult entertainment facility owner/operator shall have provided an exterior maintenance program to the Zoning Administrator, together with its special land use application, which shall provide for routine reasonable and necessary grounds maintenance and shall include, at a minimum, the clearing of trash and rubbish from all parking areas and other portions of the premises not less than daily. Continued adherence to such exterior maintenance program shall be a condition to issuing any special land use permit pursuant to this Section. 

7. The interior of the building shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view from a manager’s station of every area of the premises to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose, excluding restrooms. Enclosed viewing booths shall not be permitted. Restrooms shall not contain video reproduction equipment. If the building has two or more manager’s stations designated, then the interior of the building shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of each area of the building to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose from at least one of the manager’s stations. The view required by this subsection must be by direct line of sight from the manager’s station.

8. Any booth, room, cubicle, or similar area available in any adult entertainment facilities used by patrons for the viewing of any entertainment characterized as showing Specified Anatomical Areas or Specified Sexual Activities shall meet the following standards:

a. It shall be constructed in accordance with the Michigan Building Code, as may be amended;

b. It shall be unobstructed by any door, lock, or other entrance and exit control device;

c. It shall have at least one side totally open to a lighted aisle so that there is an unobstructed view at all times from the adjoining aisle of any occupant;

d. It shall be illuminated by a light bulb of not less than 1,600 lumens and

e. It shall have no holes or openings, other than doorways, in walls.

9. The number of patrons allowed on the premises at any one time shall be limited to the amount of seating available but shall not exceed the maximum occupancy permitted by applicable codes. 

10. The applicant shall provide an overall management plan for the facility, including explicit rules prohibiting total nudity and preventing physical contact between or among performers, dancers, entertainers, and establishment patrons. Other rules shall include, but not be limited to, hours of operation, which shall conform to the requirements of this Section, the prohibition of alcoholic beverages, and other rules that the Planning Commission may impose. 

The Planning Commission may impose such additional conditions and safeguards deemed necessary to mitigate adverse secondary effects reasonably documented to emanate from adult entertainment facilities to protect the general welfare and individual property rights of affected property owners and to ensure that the intent and objectives of this Section will be observed.

Section 4 – Severability. Should any portion of this Ordinance/Ordinance Amendment be declared invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, that shall not affect any other portion or provision of this Ordinance/Ordinance Amendment, which shall remain valid and in full force and effect. 

Section 4 – Effective Date. This Ordinance/Ordinance Amendment shall become effective upon the expiration of seven (7) days after this Ordinance/Ordinance Amendment adoption appears in a newspaper of general circulation (or a summary thereof appears in a newspaper of general circulation) as provided by law.

A. Purpose and Intent. Adult entertainment facilities are recognized as having a deleterious effect on adjacent areas, causing blight, a chilling effect on other businesses and occupants, and disrupting neighborhood development. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of property values of the surrounding neighborhood.

It is the intent and purpose of the Township to adopt reasonable regulations for adult entertainment facilities to minimize the adverse effects caused by this activity on the public health, safety, and welfare of persons and property within the Township. Further, the purpose of the locational requirements is to prevent crime, protect and preserve the quality of life in the Township, maintain property values, preserve areas frequented by children from increased criminal activity, blight, or other neighborhood deterioration, and prevent the blighting, downgrading, and deterioration of land within the Township.

B. Regulations. Adult Entertainment Facilities are subject to the following regulations:

1. Adult entertainment businesses are permitted as a special land use in the C – Commercial District only, provided all other standards of this Ordinance are met. Adult entertainment facilities shall not be within 1,000 feet of another adult entertainment facility or 300 feet of any Township-owned property, schools, or places of public assembly as measured along a line forming the shortest distance between any portion of the properties.

2. All adult entertainment facilities shall be contained in a freestanding building. Enclosed malls, commercial strip stores, common wall structures, and multiple uses within the same structure do not constitute a freestanding building.

3. No betting or gambling shall be allowed on the premises.

4. Children under 18 years of age shall not be permitted on the premises at any time

5. No adult entertainment facility shall be conducted in any manner that permits the observation of any material depicting, describing, or related to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas from any public way or any property not regulated as an adult entertainment facility. This provision shall apply to any display, decoration, sign, show window, or other opening.

6. The proposed adult entertainment facility owner/operator shall have provided an exterior maintenance program to the Zoning Administrator, together with its special land use application, which shall provide for routine reasonable and necessary grounds maintenance and shall include, at a minimum, the clearing of trash and rubbish from all parking areas and other portions of the premises not less than daily. Continued adherence to such exterior maintenance program shall be a condition to issuing any special land use permit pursuant to this Section. 

7. The interior of the building shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view from a manager’s station of every area of the premises to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose, excluding restrooms. Enclosed viewing booths shall not be permitted. Restrooms shall not contain video reproduction equipment. If the building has two or more manager’s stations designated, then the interior of the building shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of each area of the building to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose from at least one of the manager’s stations. The view required by this subsection must be by direct line of sight from the manager’s station.

8. Any booth, room, cubicle, or similar area available in any adult entertainment facilities used by patrons for the viewing of any entertainment characterized as showing Specified Anatomical Areas or Specified Sexual Activities shall meet the following standards:

a. It shall be constructed in accordance with the Michigan Building Code, as may be amended;

b. It shall be unobstructed by any door, lock, or other entrance and exit control device;

c. It shall have at least one side totally open to a lighted aisle so that there is an unobstructed view at all times from the adjoining aisle of any occupant;

d. It shall be illuminated by a light bulb of not less than 1,600 lumens and

e. It shall have no holes or openings, other than doorways, in walls.

9. The number of patrons allowed on the premises at any one time shall be limited to the amount of seating available but shall not exceed the maximum occupancy permitted by applicable codes. 

10. The applicant shall provide an overall management plan for the facility, including explicit rules prohibiting total nudity and preventing physical contact between or among performers, dancers, entertainers, and establishment patrons. Other rules shall include, but not be limited to, hours of operation, which shall conform to the requirements of this Section, the prohibition of alcoholic beverages, and other rules that the Planning Commission may impose. 

The Planning Commission may impose such additional conditions and safeguards deemed necessary to mitigate adverse secondary effects reasonably documented to emanate from adult entertainment facilities to protect the general welfare and individual property rights of affected property owners and to ensure that the intent and objectives of this Section will be observed.

Section 4 – Severability. Should any portion of this Ordinance/Ordinance Amendment be declared invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, that shall not affect any other portion or provision of this Ordinance/Ordinance Amendment, which shall remain valid and in full force and effect. 

Section 4 – Effective Date.

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM JUNIOR LIEN REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2024

Interest Rate Maturity Date Date of Original Issue

_____% See Schedule I ____________, 2024

Registered Owner: Michigan Finance Authority

Principal Amount: _______________________________________ Dollars ($__________)

The City of Newaygo, Newaygo County, Michigan (the “Issuer”), acknowledges itself indebted and, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner specified above, or registered assigns, out of the net revenues of the Water Supply System of the Issuer (the “System”), including all appurtenances, additions, extensions, and improvements thereto after provision has been made for reasonable and necessary expenses of operation, maintenance and administration of the System (the “Net Revenues”), the amounts and on the Dates of Maturity set forth on Schedule I hereto, together with interest thereon from the dates of receipt of such funds, or such later date to which interest has been paid, at the Interest Rate per annum specified above, payable on the first day of April and October of each year, beginning April 1, 2025, except as the provisions hereinafter set forth with respect to redemption of this Bond prior to maturity may become applicable hereto.

The Issuer promises to pay to the Michigan Finance Authority (the “Authority”) the principal amount of this Bond or so much thereof as shall have been advanced to the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Contract between the Issuer and the Authority and a Supplemental Agreement by and among the Issuer, the Authority and the State of Michigan acting through the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

During the time funds are being drawn down by the Issuer under this Bond, the Authority will periodically provide the Issuer a statement showing the amount of principal that has been advanced and the date of each advance, which statement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the reported information; provided that no failure on the part of the Authority to provide such a statement or to reflect a disbursement or the correct amount of a disbursement shall relieve the Issuer of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount actually advanced, all accrued interest thereon, and any other amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this Bond.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bond, so long as the Authority is the owner of this Bond, (a) this Bond is payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, or at such other place as shall be designated in writing to the Issuer by the Authority (the “Authority’s Depository”); (b) the Issuer agrees that it will deposit with the Authority’s Depository payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Bond in immediately available funds by 12:00 noon at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which any such payment is due whether by maturity, redemption or otherwise; in the event that the Authority’s Depository has not received the Issuer’s deposit by 12:00 noon on the scheduled day, the Issuer shall immediately pay to the Authority as invoiced by the Authority an amount to recover the Authority’s administrative costs and lost investment earnings attributable to that late payment; and (c) written notice of any redemption of this Bond shall be given by the Issuer and received by the Authority’s Depository at least forty (40) days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made.

This Bond, being one fully registered manuscript bond, is issued in accordance with the provisions of Act 94, Public Acts of Michigan, 1933, as amended and Ordinance No 12-01, as amended by Ordinance No 13-10, Ordinance No. 2021-01, and Ordinance No. ___ (the “Ordinance”), for the purpose of paying the cost of acquiring and constructing improvements to the System. This Bond is a self-liquidating Bond, and is not a general obligation of the Issuer within any applicable constitutional, statutory, or charter limitation, but is payable, both as to principal and interest, solely from the Net Revenues of the System. The principal of and interest on this Bond are secured by a statutory lien on the Net Revenues.

The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to fix, and maintain at all times while any of the Bonds shall be outstanding, such rates for service furnished by the System as shall be sufficient to provide for payment of the principal of and interest upon all such Bonds as and when the same become due and payable, to maintain a bond and interest redemption account and to provide for the payment of expenses of administration and operation and such expenses for maintenance of the System as are necessary to preserve the same in good repair and working order, and to provide for such other expenditures and funds for the System as are required by the Ordinance. The statutory liens securing the Issuer’s First Lien Bonds (as defined in the Ordinance) are first liens that shall be superior to the lien on the Net Revenues securing this Bond. The Bonds of this series shall have equal standing with any Additional Junior Lien Bonds (as defined in the Ordinance) that may be issued pursuant to the Ordinance. Additional bonds of superior standing to the bonds of this series may be issued pursuant to the Ordinance. For a complete statement of the revenues from which, and the conditions under which, this Bond is payable, a statement of the conditions under which additional bonds of equal or superior standing may hereafter be issued, and the general covenants and provisions pursuant to which this Bond is issued, reference is made to the Ordinance.

Bonds of this series may be subject to redemption prior to maturity by the Issuer only with the prior written consent of the Authority and on such terms as may be required by the Authority.

In the event of a default in the payment of principal or interest hereon when due, whether at maturity, by redemption or otherwise, the amount of such default shall bear interest (the “additional interest”) at a rate equal to the rate of interest which is two percent above the Authority’s cost of providing funds (as determined by the Authority) to make payment on the bonds of the Authority issued to provide funds to purchase this Bond but in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. The additional interest shall continue to accrue until the Authority has been fully reimbursed for all costs incurred by the Authority (as determined by the Authority) as a consequence of the Issuer’s default. Such additional interest shall be payable on the interest payment date following demand of the Authority. In the event that (for reasons other than the default in the payment of any municipal obligation purchased by the Authority) the investment of amounts in the reserve account established by the Authority for the bonds of the Authority issued to provide funds to purchase this Bond fails to provide sufficient available funds (together with any other funds which may be made available for such purpose) to pay the interest on outstanding bonds of the Authority issued to fund such account, the Issuer shall and hereby agrees to pay on demand only the Issuer’s pro rata share (as determined by the Authority) of such deficiency as additional interest on this Bond.

It is hereby certified and recited that all acts, conditions and things required by law, precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond, exist and have been done and performed in regular and due time and form as required by law and that the total indebtedness of the Issuer including this Bond, does not exceed any applicable constitutional, statutory, or charter limitation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Newaygo, Newaygo County, Michigan, by its City Council, has caused this Bond to be signed, by the manual or facsimile signatures of its Mayor and City Clerk, all as of the Date of Original Issue specified above.

No further payments need be made into the First Lien Redemption Account after enough of the First Lien Bonds have been retired so that the amount then held in the First Lien Redemption Account (including the Bond Reserve Accounts) is equal to the entire amount of principal and interest that will be payable up to and at the time of maturity of all the First Lien Bonds then remaining outstanding.

Section 16. SURPLUS MONEYS/PRIORITY OF FUNDS. Subsection 18(b)(vi) of Ordinance 12-01 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(vi) Surplus Moneys/Priority of Funds.

Provided, however, that if there should be a deficit in the Operation and Maintenance Fund, and any subaccount of the Redemption Account, or a bond reserve account on account of defaults in setting aside therein the amounts required in this Resolution, or a future resolution, then the City shall transfer the moneys remaining in the Receiving Fund at the end of any operating year to such funds in the priority and order named, to the extent of such deficits. Available surplus moneys may be used to retire any outstanding obligations of the City incurred for construction, expansion or addition to the System, including additional bonds, the issuance of which is authorized by this Resolution, or if no other disposition has been provided for, such moneys may be used for such other purposes of the System as the City Council may deem to be for the best interest of the City.

In the event the monies in the Receiving Fund are insufficient to provide for the current requirements of the Operation and Maintenance Fund or any subaccounts of the Redemption Account, any monies or securities in other funds of the System, except the Construction Fund, shall be credited or transferred, first, to the Operation and Maintenance Fund, second to the First Lien Redemption Account, third to the Junior Lien Redemption Account and fourth to a bond reserve account, to the extent of any deficit therein.

Section 17. Section 24 of Ordinance 12-01 is amended to add the following unnumbered paragraph at the end of the section:
