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.

234.54(3)(b)

(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 not be included in bonds outstanding on the date of computation.
234.54(4)(a)(a) To assure the continued operation and solvency of the authority for the carrying out of the public purposes of this chapter, the authority shall accumulate in the capital reserve fund an amount equal to the capital reserve fund requirement for such fund.
234.54(4)(b)
(b) If at any time the capital reserve fund requirement for the capital reserve fund exceeds the amount of such capital reserve fund, the chairperson of the authority shall certify to the secretary of administration, the governor and the joint committee on finance the amount necessary to restore such capital reserve fund to an amount equal to the capital reserve fund requirement in respect thereto. If such 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 capital reserve fund. 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 such appropriation.
234.54(4)(c)
(c) Paragraph
(b) applies only to bonds issued before December 31, 1983.
234.54(5)
(5) In computing the amount of the capital reserve fund for the purposes of this section, securities in which all or a portion of such capital reserve fund is invested shall be valued at par, or if purchased at less than par, at their cost to the authority, adjusted to reflect the amortization of discount or premium paid upon their purchase.
234.54(6)
(6) Notwithstanding 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, subs.
(2) and
(3) shall not apply to the bonds of such issue or series in that they shall not be entitled to payment out of or be eligible for purchase by such fund nor may they be taken into account in computing or applying any capital reserve fund requirement.
