Fiscal Year 2009 Budget 32
Fund Structure
Maintenance and Operations Account
The Maintenance and Operations Account consists of the Operating Sub-Account and the Operating Reserve Sub-Account. Moneys in the Operating Sub-Account are applied to Operating Expenses at the direction of the Tollway.
Revenues are transferred to the Operating Sub-Account to cover the Expenses set forth in the Annual Budget for the current Fiscal Year. One-twelfth of the operating expenses outlined in the annual budget are transferred to this account once a month.
The Operating Reserve Sub-Account receives or retains an amount not to exceed 30 percent of the amount budgeted for Operating Expenses in the Annual Budget for the current Fiscal Year. Monies in the Operating Reserve Sub-Account are held as a reserve for the payment of Operating Expenses and are to be withdrawn from if monies are not available to the credit of the Operating Sub-Account to pay Operating Expenses.
If the Tollway determines that the amount in the Operating Reserve Sub-Account exceeds the amount necessary, the excess will be withdrawn from such Sub-Account and applied as Revenues. By resolution, the Board originally voted to maintain a $25 million balance in this account and subsequently authorized a balance of $17 million.
Debt Service Account and Debt Reserve Account
The Debt Service Account consists of the Interest Sub-Account, the Principal Sub-Account, the Redemption Sub-Account, the Provider Payment Sub-Account, to be held by the Trustee.
Revenues are required to be deposited to cover the interest, principal, and sinking fund installment amounts due and unpaid for bonds, the costs and reimbursements (and termination payments for agreements executed before June 22, 2005) of providers of Credit Enhancement or Qualified Hedge Agreements.
Revenues must also be deposited to the credit of the Debt Reserve Account, in an amount sufficient to cause the balance in it to equal the Debt Reserve Requirement (maximum annual debt service) and to make any required reimbursement to Providers of Debt Reserve Account Credit Facilities.
Termination Payment Account
This account was established in the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (June 22, 2005) to pay termination payments due to any providers of Credit Enhancement and Qualified Hedge Agreements executed on or after June 22, 2005. No funds are expected to be allocated to this account in 2009.
