"K. ENFORCEMENT OF COLLECTIONS. The County will diligently enforce and collect the Revenues and any other receipts and revenues pledged hereunder, will take all steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection thereof as the same shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted or authorized by law; and will maintain accurate records with respect thereto. All such Revenues and other charges shall, as collected, be held in trust to be applied as herein provided and not otherwise. "L. REMEDIES. Any Registered Owner may by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights, including the right to the appointment of a receiver, existing under the laws of the State of Florida, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties required hereunder or by any applicable statutes to be performed by the County or by any officer thereof. "Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to grant to any Registered Owner any lien on any property of or in the County. "M. OPERATING BUDGET. On or before the last day of each Fiscal Year, the County shall adopt an annual budget for the System for the ensuing Fiscal Year, which shall include a budget for Operating Expenses. The Operating Expenses incurred in any Fiscal Year will not exceed the reasonable and necessary amounts required therefor and the County will not expend any amount or incur any obligation for the operation, maintenance and repair of the System in excess of the amount provided for the purpose in the annual budget for the then current Fiscal Year except upon resolution of the Board declaring that such expenses are necessary for the operation and maintenance of the System. "If the budget discloses that the estimated Revenues and other revenues, funds and receipts pledged hereunder, if any, will be insufficient during such Fiscal Year, after payment of the Operating Expenses, to meet the rate covenant set forth herein, the County shall forthwith revise the rates, fees and charges imposed with respect to the System in order to cure such estimated deficiency and to comply with the rate covenant. There shall be included in the budget amounts necessary to provide for the orderly replacement of the depreciable capital assets of the System. "N. CONSULTING ENGINEERS. The County will annually retain the Consulting Engineers for the purpose of providing the County with competent engineering counsel with respect to the economical and efficient operation of the entire water and sewer system of the County and in connection with the making of capital improvements thereto and renewals and replacements thereof. The County may, however, employ additional engineers at any time with relation to specific engineering and operation problems arising in connection therewith. - 29 -
