THE CITY OF HOMER HEREBY ORDAINS:

Section 1.  HCC 3.12.020, Contributions, is amended to read as follows:

b. “Wind-fall monies” shall be defined as any new monies received by the City from any source other than standard budgeted operating revenues and not allocated to any specific purpose. “Wind-fall monies” do not include bond proceeds, grant funds allocated to a specified purpose, or the proceeds of non-Exxon Valdez litigation when such proceeds are recovered as damages to compensate or reimburse the city for expenditures previously made by the city. In all cases, the City Council’s determination of whether monies are “wind-fall” is final and conclusive.

The remainder of the income from the income sub-fund may be appropriated by the City Council and be expended for general governmental purposes, including but not limited to ordinary operating expenses.
c. The income from the growth sub-fund shall not be expended. It shall be added to the principal of the growth sub-fund and reinvested.
