nants and other provisions of the necessary documents and submit such docu-
ments to the City for final approval;
9. Nothing in this Resolution or the documents prepared pursuant hereto shall
authorize the expenditure of any municipal funds on the Project other than the
revenues derived from the Project or otherwise granted to the City for this
purpose. The Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal
or equitable, upon any property or funds of the City except the revenue and
proceeds pledged to the payment thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any
liability thereon. The holder or holders of the Bonds shall never have the
- right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay the out-
