KRS § 107.180 — KY Code / Title IX / Chapter 107 / Section 107.180
107.180 Sums received and deposited in sinking fund -- How held -- Debt service reserve -- Deficiency assessment -- Refund of surplus
Status: in_force

107.180 Sums received and deposited in sinking fund -- How held -- Debt service

reserve -- Deficiency assessment -- Refund of surplus.

All sums received and deposited in the sinking fund shall be held inviolate and applied by

the city solely for the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the bonds issued for the

financing of the identified improvement project. The amount collected, and deposited in

the sinking fund from the first improvement assessment levied in connection with any

project, in excess of maturing principal and interest of the bonds, and for the purpose of

creating a "debt service reserve," shall be held in the sinking fund for that purpose. If the

collections from the first annual improvement assessment levy shall fail to produce a sum

sufficient to provide a "debt service reserve" equal to twenty percent (20%) of future

average annual principal and interest requirements, the next annual improvement

assessment shall be fixed at such level as may be calculated to restore the "debt service

reserve" to such level after providing for current principal and interest maturities. The

debt service reserve requirement of a wastewater collection project by a metropolitan

sewer district may be funded from the proceeds of the bonds. If, at the time of any annual

levy of the improvement assessment, the sum held in the sinking fund as said "debt

service reserve" shall exceed the level herein specified, such excess may be taken into

account in fixing the rate of the improvement assessment for the ensuing year; and if the

amount so held in said "debt service reserve" is below said specified level, the next

annual improvement assessment levy shall be increased in a corresponding manner. In

making the improvement assessment levy for the year preceding the final maturity of

bonds for any improvement project, the governing body may take into account, and make

allowance for, the amount held in the sinking fund of the particular project as a "debt

service reserve"; and if in making such levy the governing body shall miscalculate and

provide funds insufficient to pay the final maturing principal and interest, the governing

body shall be authorized to, and shall be required, to make a subsequent improvement

assessment levy upon the benefited properties sufficient to make up the deficiency, with

interest to date of payment. If the procedures required by this chapter shall result in a

surplus after payment of the bonds, and all interest thereon to date of payment, such

surplus shall be refunded, pro rata, to the owners of benefited properties, as determined at

the date such surplus is ascertained by the governing body to exist.

Status: in_force

146.410 Purpose of system of nature preserves.

(1) All areas within the borders of the Commonwealth, except those which are

expressly dedicated by law for preservation and protection in their natural condition,

are subject to alteration by human activity. As part of the continuing growth of the

population and the economic development of the Commonwealth, it is necessary

and desirable that the overall impact on the natural ecology be considered when

major alterations are proposed affecting same, and that certain areas of unusual

natural significance be set aside and preserved for the benefit of present and future

generations. Such unique areas are valuable as laboratories for scientific research, as

reservoirs of natural materials not all of the uses of which are now known, as

habitats for plant and animal species and biotic communities, as living museums of

the native landscape where people may observe nature's web of life and our natural

heritage, as places of historic and natural interest and scenic beauty, and as

reminders of the vital human dependence upon fresh air, clean water, and unspoiled

natural areas.

(2) It is therefore the public policy of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to secure for the

people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of

natural areas by establishing a system of nature preserves, protecting these areas and

gathering and disseminating information regarding them, establishing and

maintaining a registry of natural areas, and otherwise encouraging and assisting in

the preservation of natural areas and features.
