For administering the proceeds of the sale of bonds and payment of interest and principal on the bonds, there are hereby established three funds to be known as the improvement fund, the redemption fund and the special reserve fund, respectively, for Victor Avenue Bridge Assessment District No. 1983-9. Section 5 . 1. IMPROVEMENT FUND.

Section 5. 2. REDEMPTION FUND. The redemption fund shall be maintained by the City Treasurer .

B. If any assessment is prepaid before final maturity of the bonds, the amount of principal which the assessee is required to prepay shall be reduced by an amount which is in the same ratio to the original amount of the special reserve fund , together with accrued interest, as the original amount of the prepaid assessment bears to the total amount of assessments originally levied in Victor Avenue Bridge Assessment District No. 1983-9. This reduction in the amount of principal prepaid shall be balanced by a transfer from the special reserve fund to the redemption fund in the same amount. C. Whenever required to prevent the reserve fund from exceeding the reserve limitations set by federal statute and regulation, the City Treasurer is directed to transfer accrued interest from the special reserve fund to the redemption fund from time to time, and to establish pro rata credits against annual installments of assessment principal and interest in the same amount in the year following the year of transfer .
