The legislature determines that the social and economic problems sought to be addressed are particularly acute in more densely populated areas.

The authority of a 1st class city may issue up to $170,000,000 in bonds to finance or refinance the development or redevelopment of sites and facilities to be used for public school facilities by the board of school directors of the school district operating under ch. 119 if all of the following apply:

[revisor inserts date].

(d) Designation of special debt service reserve funds. The authority may designate one or more accounts in funds created under the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds under this subsection as special debt service reserve funds if, prior to each issuance of bonds to be secured by the special debt service reserve fund, the secretary of administration determines that all of the following conditions are met with respect to the bonds:

1. `Purpose.' The proceeds of the bonds, other than refunding bonds, will be used for public school facilities in the school district operating under ch. 119.

2. `Feasibility.' There is a reasonable likelihood that the bonds will be repaid without the necessity of drawing on funds in the special debt service reserve fund that secures the bonds. The secretary of administration may make this determination of reasonable likelihood only after considering all of the following:

a. The extent to which and manner by which revenues of the school district operating under ch. 119 are pledged to the payment of the bonds.

c. The proposed interest rates of the bonds and the resulting cash-flow requirements.

d. The projected ratio of annual pledged revenues from the school district operating under ch.119 to annual debt service on the bonds, taking into account capitalized interest.

a. The refunding bonds are to be issued to fund, refund or advance refund bonds secured by a special debt service reserve fund.

b. The refunding will not adversely affect the risk that the state will be called on to make a payment under par. (j).

5. `Approval of outstanding debt.' All outstanding bonds of the authority issued under this subsection have been reviewed and approved by the secretary of administration. In determining whether to approve outstanding bonds under this subdivision, the secretary may consider any factor which the secretary determines to have a bearing on whether the state moral obligation pledge under par. (j) should be granted with respect to an issuance of bonds.

6. `Financial reports.' The authority has agreed to provide to the department of administration all financial reports of the authority and all regular monthly statements of any trustee of the bonds on a direct and ongoing basis.

(e) Payment of funds into a special debt service reserve fund. The authority shall pay into any special debt service reserve fund of the authority any moneys appropriated and made available by the state for the purposes of the special debt service reserve fund, any proceeds of a sale of bonds to the extent provided in the bond resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds and any other moneys that are made available to the authority for the purpose of the special debt service reserve fund from any other source.

(f) Use of moneys in the special debt service reserve fund. All moneys held in any special debt service reserve fund of the authority for bonds issued under this subsection, except as otherwise specifically provided, shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of the bonds, the making of sinking fund payments with respect to the bonds, the purchase or redemption of the bonds, the payment of interest on the bonds or the payment of any redemption premium required to be paid when the bonds are redeemed prior to maturity. If moneys in a special debt service reserve fund at any time are less than the special debt service reserve fund requirement under par. (h) for the special debt service reserve fund, the authority may not use these moneys for any optional purchase or optional redemption of the bonds. Any income or interest earned by, or increment to, any special debt service reserve fund due to the investment of moneys in the special debt service reserve fund may be transferred by the authority to other funds or accounts of the authority relating to the bonds to the extent that the transfer does not reduce the amount of the special debt service reserve fund below the special debt service reserve fund requirement under par. (h) for the special debt service reserve fund.

(g) Limitation on bonds secured by a special debt service reserve fund. The authority shall accumulate in each special debt service reserve fund an amount equal to the special debt service reserve fund requirement under par. (h) for the special debt service reserve fund. The authority may not at any time issue bonds under this subsection secured in whole or in part by a special debt service reserve fund if upon the issuance of these bonds the amount in the special debt service reserve fund will be less than the special debt service reserve fund requirement under par. (h) for the special debt service reserve fund.

(h) Special debt service reserve fund requirement. The special debt service reserve fund requirement for a special debt service reserve fund, as of any particular date of computation, is equal to an amount of money, as provided in the bond resolution authorizing bonds under this subsection with respect to which the special debt service reserve fund is established, that may not exceed the maximum annual debt service on the bonds of the authority for that fiscal year or any future fiscal year of the authority secured in whole or in part by that special debt service reserve fund. In computing the annual debt service for any fiscal year, bonds deemed to have been paid in accordance with the defeasance provisions of the bond resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds shall not be included in bonds outstanding on such date of computation. The annual debt service for any fiscal year is the amount of money equal to the aggregate of all of the following 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 bond resolution authorizing those bonds, of all of the sinking fund payments payable at or after the date of computation:

1. All interest payable during the fiscal year on all bonds that are secured in whole or in part by the special debt service reserve fund and that are outstanding on the date of computation.

2. The principal amount of all of the bonds that are secured in whole or in part by the special debt service reserve fund, are outstanding on the date of computation and mature during the fiscal year.

3. All amounts specified in bond resolutions of the authority authorizing any of the bonds that are secured in whole or in part by the special debt service reserve fund to be payable during the fiscal year as a sinking fund payment with respect to any of the bonds that mature after the fiscal year.

(i) Valuation of securities. In computing the amount of a special debt service reserve fund for the purposes of this subsection, securities in which all or a portion of the special debt service reserve fund is invested shall be valued at par, or, if purchased at less than par, at their cost to the authority.

(j) State moral obligation pledge. If at any time of valuation the special debt service reserve fund requirement under par. (h) for a special debt service reserve fund exceeds the amount of moneys in the special debt service reserve fund, the authority shall certify to the secretary of administration, the governor and the joint committee on finance the amount necessary to restore the special debt service reserve fund to an amount equal to the special debt service reserve fund requirement under par. (h) for the special debt service reserve fund. If this certification is received by the secretary of administration in an even-numbered year prior to the completion of the budget compilation under s. 16.43, the secretary shall include the certified amount in the budget compilation. In any case, the joint committee on finance shall introduce in either house, in bill form, an appropriation of the amount so certified to the appropriate special debt service reserve fund of the authority. Recognizing its moral obligation to do so, the legislature hereby expresses its expectation and aspiration that, if ever called upon to do so, it shall make this appropriation. This paragraph applies only to bonds issued under, and in compliance with, this subsection.

(k) Minority contracting provisions. 1. With regard to a public school construction project that is financed from the proceeds of bonds that are issued under this subsection, a person who is awarded a contract for construction work or professional services shall agree, as a condition to receiving the contract, that at least 50% of the employes hired because of the contract will be minority group members, as defined in s. 560.036 (1) (f).
