2023 Oklahoma Statutes › Title 62. Public Finance › §62-690.16. Enterprise District Loan Fund.

A. There is hereby created a special account to be known as the "Enterprise District Loan Fund", to which fund shall be credited all monies received as loan capital by the Authority from the sale of general obligation bonds. To this fund there shall also be deposited and credited all payments received on interest and principal of loans outstanding made, or to be made, by the Authority, all such deposits to be made immediately upon receipt of same.
The treasurer of the Authority shall deposit daily, no later than the next banking day, all such funds and monies in one or more banks that have been designated as county depositories by the boards of county commissioners of the respective counties comprising an enterprise district. Monies accruing to the fund may be expended by the Authority for carrying out the provisions of this act.
B. It is hereby unlawful for any of the funds of the Authority to be deposited in any bank in which any member of the board of county commissioners or the governing body of any city or town or any member of the Authority is the owner of any stock or otherwise directly or indirectly pecuniarily interested. A county commissioner or a member of the governing body of a city or town or a member of the Authority shall be considered to be interested in such a bank if any member of his immediate family owns any interest in said depository bank.
C. As often as may be necessary the Authority shall requisition from the Enterprise District Loan Fund, upon warrants duly drawn as required by law, such amounts as shall be allocated and appropriated by the Authority for loans to enterprises upon approved projects. When and as the amounts so allocated and appropriated by the Authority as loans to enterprises are repaid to the Authority pursuant to the terms of the mortgages and other agreements made and entered into by the Authority, the Authority shall immediately pay such amounts into said fund, it being the intent of this act that the Enterprise District Loan Fund shall operate as a revolving fund whereby all monies placed therein shall be applied and reapplied to the purposes of this act.
D. To guarantee payment of interest on bonds, as the same shall become due, the Authority shall pay into a special "Bond Interest Account" fund, out of the first-earned interest received into the Enterprise District Loan Fund, an amount sufficient to cover all interest requirements at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof.
E. To guarantee retirement of bonds at maturity, the Authority shall provide for a "Bond Redemption Account", in addition to interest reserves, as above set out, and there shall be paid annually into such Bond Redemption Account, after all interest requirements have been met, beginning at a time to be determined by the Authority, a sum sufficient to retire all bonds issued at maturity.
F. All monies deposited in the Enterprise District Loan Fund, the Bond Interest Account fund and the Bond Redemption Account shall draw interest at rates considered competitive with those offered for similar accounts.
