§ 1210. REVENUE BONDS.

Bonds which are payable only out of such revenues as may be specified in such bonds may be issued when the City Council by ordinance shall have established a procedure for the issuance of such bonds. Such bonds, payable only out of revenues, shall not constitute an indebtedness or general obligation of the City. No such bonds payable out of revenues shall be issued without the assent of a majority of the voters voting upon the proposition for issuing the same at an election at which such proposition shall have been duly submitted to the qualified electors of the City.

It shall be competent for the City to make contracts and covenants for the benefit of the holders of any such bonds payable only from revenues and which shall not constitute a general obligation of the City for the establishment of a fund or funds, for the maintaining of adequate rates or charges, for restrictions upon further indebtedness payable out of the same fund or revenues, for restrictions upon transfer out of such fund, and other appropriate covenants. Money placed in any such special fund for the payment of principal and/or interest on any issue of such bonds or to assure the application thereof to a specific purpose shall not be expended for any other purpose whatever except for the purpose for which such special fund was established and shall be deemed segregated from all other funds of the City and reserved exclusively for the purpose for which such special fund was established until the purpose of its establishment shall have been fully accomplished.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may sell and issue at any time and from time to time revenue bond anticipation notes (including renewal revenue bond anticipation notes) in anticipation of any electric or water revenue bonds heretofore or hereafter authorized by the voters; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such electric revenue bond anticipation notes and the electric revenue bonds in anticipation of which such electric revenue bond anticipation notes were issued outstanding in accordance with their terms at any one time shall not exceed the principal amount of such electric revenue bonds authorized by the voters and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such water revenue bond anticipation notes and the water revenue bonds in anticipation of which such water revenue bond anticipation notes were issued outstanding in accordance with their terms at any one time shall not exceed the principal amount of such water revenue bonds authorized by the voters. Such revenue bond anticipation notes may be sold, issued and secured in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as the City Council may prescribe by ordinance; provided that such revenue bond anticipation notes shall not constitute an indebtedness or general obligation of the City of Anaheim and are not to be secured by the taxing power of said City.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may also sell and issue at any time and from time to time revenue anticipation notes (including renewal revenue anticipation notes) in anticipation of the receipt of revenues of the City's water and electric utilities; provided that the aggregate principal amount of such revenue anticipation notes outstanding in accordance with their terms at any one time shall not exceed, for each of such utilities, an amount equal to 25% of the gross revenue earned by the respective utility during the immediately preceding fiscal year as set forth in the audited financial statements of such utility for such year. Such revenue anticipation notes may be sold, issued, and secured in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as the City Council may prescribe by ordinance; provided that such revenue anticipation notes shall not constitute an indebtedness or general obligation of the City of Anaheim and are not to be secured by the taxing power of said City.
