234.54(1r)
(1r) The authority shall establish the housing rehabilitation loan program capital reserve fund to secure the bonds issued under the authority of
s. 234.50, and shall pay into such fund any moneys appropriated and made available by the state for the purposes of such fund, any proceeds of sale of housing rehabilitation bonds to the extent provided in the resolution of the authority authorizing the issuance thereof and any other moneys which are made available to the authority for the purpose of such fund from any other source.
234.54(2)
(2) All moneys held in the housing rehabilitation loan program capital reserve fund, except as otherwise specifically provided, shall be used, as required, solely for the payment of the principal of bonds of the authority secured in whole or in part by such fund or of sinking fund payments with respect to such bonds, the purchase or redemption of such bonds, the payment of interest on such bonds or the payment of any redemption premium required to be paid when such bonds are redeemed prior to maturity; but, if moneys in such fund at any time are less than the capital reserve fund requirement established for such fund as provided in this section, the authority shall not use such moneys for any optional purchase or optional redemption of such bonds. Any income or interest earned by, or increment to, the capital reserve fund due to the investment thereof may be transferred by the authority to other housing rehabilitation loan program funds or accounts of the authority to the extent such transfer does not reduce the amount of the capital reserve fund below the capital reserve fund requirement for the fund.
234.54(3)(a)(a) The authority may not issue bonds, secured in whole or in part by the capital reserve fund if upon the issuance of such bonds, the amount in the capital reserve fund will be less than the capital reserve fund requirement of the capital reserve fund, unless the authority, forthwith upon the issuance of the bonds, deposits in the capital reserve fund from the proceeds of the bonds to be issued, or from other sources, an amount which, together with the amount then in the capital reserve fund, will not be less than the capital reserve fund requirement for the fund. The annual debt service for any calendar year is the amount of money equal to the aggregate of all of the following:
234.54(3)(a)1.
1. All interest payable during the calendar year on all bonds secured in whole or in part by the capital reserve fund outstanding on the date of computation.
234.54(3)(a)2.

subd. 1. as payable during the calendar year as a sinking fund payment with respect to any of the bonds which mature after the calendar year.
234.54(3)(b)
(b) The annual debt service calculation made under
par. (a) shall be calculated on the assumption that the bonds will after the date of computation cease to be outstanding by reason, but only by reason, of the payment of bonds when due, and the payment when due and application in accordance with the resolution authorizing those bonds, of all of the sinking fund payments payable at or after the date of computation. However, in computing the annual debt service for any calendar year, bonds considered to have been paid in accordance with the defeasance provisions of the resolution of the authority authorizing the issuance thereof may [shall] not be included in bonds outstanding on the date of computation.

subs. (1r) to
(5), the authority, subject to such agreements with bondholders as may then exist, may elect not to secure any particular issue or series of its bonds with the capital reserve fund. Such election shall be made in the resolution authorizing such issue or series. In this event,
