(b)

The city waterworks system is hereby directed to commence construction of Phase II and Phase III of the capital improvements program of the city waterworks system as soon as feasible using whatever financing is available, including any funds received pursuant to payments of the water rates provided for in paragraph (a) herein, and section 27-27 of this Code.

(c)

The city waterworks system shall pay to the city any and/or all revenues in excess of any required payments on bond indentures, required capital improvements and any reasonable expenses for the maintenance, operation and repair of the waterworks system each fiscal year following the passage of this ordinance [Ordinance No. 82-20]. The city waterworks system shall tender such amount as described above on the first day of April each year as shall have fallen due on said first day of April, such portion of said amount being computed on a pro rata basis. The city waterworks system shall tender the remainder of said amount as described above on the first day of October of each year, in order to conform to actual revenues received during such fiscal year by the waterworks system. Each of such payments shall be in accordance with procedures prescribed by the city manager. Each of such payments shall be accompanied by a financial statement explaining how such amount was computed according to the procedure described above, and shall also be accompanied by a copy of the official audit of the city waterworks system for such year, which amount of such payments shall conform to the figures reflected in such audit. If the city manager disputes this computation, the city waterworks system shall allow the city manager to inspect such books and records of the waterworks system as the city manager deems necessary, and if after such inspection the city manager still disputes such computation, an accountant chosen by the city manager shall be hired at the expense of the city waterworks system to compute the amount according to the guidelines prescribed herein above. The finding of the accountant shall be binding and shall govern the parties.
